Why I Am a Writer and an Artist

For the past year I have been in America to explore what it meant to be an American. Being an American means to having tremendous pride in their country. Some examples that show their pride is through their art, literature and music/dance. One way Americans show their pride is through their art. The most popular type is called folk art. Folk art is art made by ordinary people (as opposed to trained artists) using traditional methods. Another type of art was portraits. Portraits

reshaped during the Harlem Renaissance as some blacks writers were coming to terms with the fact that there some differences among the black community. Two writers created their own personal translation concerning the Negro in the course of these years. In Alain Locke’s essay, The New Negro, he presents the variation of the “new” and “old” Negro. On the other hand Langston Hughes essay, The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain, tells how the Negro artist is not true to him/herself because of acceptance

Both of these processes are similar in many ways, but also different depending on what kind of artist or writer you are. For this paper, I interviewed several different people, some who are great artists, some who are great writers and some that do not like either. I also examined both of my processes comparing how they are similar and different. There were a couple questions I asked myself and each person I interviewed so it would be easier to compare each of their processes. The four main questions

On the other hand, placing a thesis in the wrong location has the ability to weaken the paper

she says, “Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.” She was right. She’s remembered for being a gay poet and is immortalized despite a lot of her works not being found completely. It’s one of my favorite quotes because identifying as a nonbinary queer person who also likes girls, I can relate to Sappho a lot when she writes about her desire for love and personal heartbreaks. This quote also brings me ease as even in “another time” someone will still remember me. I think we all want to

As we have continued our reading and our research, I am beginning to feel that there must have been more to the Renaissance than the hand of the artist. It is to say that the Renaissance artists were trying to disconnect themselves from the idea that they were the blue-collar laborers of the time, so painting skill alone would have sent the wrong message. There was an emphasis that they needed and wanted to show that intellect as well. That leads us to the idea that there had to me more in the

everyone has; it shows the way that their brain thinks and it also shows opinions. In my perspective, the most important question is why make art? Unit 1: Why Make Art was a great thing to start off with. The unit not only gave us knowledge to walk away with, but we learned many of the reasons of why people do make art.
