Her artwork helps me realize that nothing in these modern days is nothing new. Everything that is being done now was used back then in a way. Therefore Grandma Moses artwork changes the way we see the different lanscapes.

A website that I always go to is facebook. The activities that I do on facebook are update my status, upload pictures, comment on friend's pictures, post of friend's wall, send and check messags, and look at everyone updates. I am addicted to facebook. Facebook ofers me and opportunity to socialize more with my friends and find out information. Therefore, it shows my identity because who I socialize with and what I do is apart of me. I love facebook, and I wouldn't want it to go anywhere anytime soon.

The artwork entitled "Craigs and Crevices" is an artwork by Jane Frank which shows her map of the mind. I believe that she was trying to demonstrate herself through her artwork by saying that there are times in life where you will hit a rock and a hard place. Therefore, she created an artwork that describes her life and probably what she went through to get where she is today. Also, I believe that there were times when she fell in the cracks, and it was hard for her to get out. Overall, the artwork was saying to never give up when you hit craigs and crevices.

The abstract art that I saw was by Jane Frank, and it is entitled "Crags and Crevices." Here is my poem....

Crags and Crevices
An artwork by an abstarct expressionist

It shows me complexity
Never knew what to expect
All I knew was that it was abstract
Never that it was complex

I love the colors
I love what it brings
It shows me what no other does
It shows me the finer things

I would love to live in New York City because there are many places and things to see, it is known for fashion, and it is beautiful. To begin with, I would love to live in New York City because there are many places and things to see. One thing that I would love to see is the Statue of Liberty. Also, I want to visit the Apollo Theatre. Therefore, there are places and things that meet my interest. Furthermore, I would love to live in New York City because it is known for fashion. For example, alot of things that I like to wear, comes from New York and they have things at a better price there. This shows that it is more reasonable to shop in New York. Lastly, New York is a beautiful place.

There once lived a girl name Hillary, and she had it all. She was the only child and had two loving parents that took care of her and supported her in everything she does. Hillary lives in a nice house, and she has a dog that listens to her problems and gives her advice. Everytime she came home from school, she would sit on her bed, and her dog would come in and ask her how her day is going. She loved her dog very much and wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. Basically, she wouldn't trade her life with anyone else. In Hillary's eye, everything was perfection.

The dada movement took place during World War I, and it was about angry artist and writers spitting on nationalism and disrespecting things. It is clear to see that dadaism is definitely shown in this artwork because they are making fun on the monalisa by putting a mustache and words on the artwork. This is very direspectful to the artist that made this. Therefore, this artwork is related to dadaism.

My experience creating my portrait was a very interesting and required many steps. The first step that we had to do was print out a picture of someone with the same name as us and is not famous. I found a girl who with light skin and curly hair dark hair. Therefore, I had to use a light and dark value, and the color that I chose was red. The next step that we had to do was grid out our picture. After we gridded out our picture, we had to draw in each box what we saw in the picture. Then, the next step was to paint. Painting was the most difficult part to me because you had to be very careful and make sure that you get all of the values. Creating the portrait in general was a challenge, but I am glad that I received a chance to get that experience. It was very fun, and I enjoyed myself.

The colors that the artist used in this work were orange, blue, and black. In art class, we have been learning about the many of different color schemes and things that you can do with colors. For example, we learned about complementary colors and split complementary colors which is like contrasting colors. The different colors and schemes that we learned were very helpful in creating out portraits. In conclusion, I think that the artist was trying to create a calm mood to just look at the art and admire it.

For this artwork, the sprite element that I thought it touched on was social, political, and economical. This artwork touched on social because it is a family, and it is clear that they are socializing with eachother as a family in the morning time. I say this because usually in the morning is when families read the newspaper. Therefore, this is social. Furthermore, another sprite element that this portrait touched on was political. This is because the newspaper usually has something to do with politics and other news updates. Therefore, political is another sprite element that this portrait touched on. Lastly, this artwork is also economical. I say this because the newspaper is also usually about the economy because we are apart of it. In conclusion, this artwork touched on a few of the sprite elements.

This is an portrait created by an artist named Carrie Mae Weems. I can relate to this artwork because this reminds me of what goes on in my house. When me and my sister were younger, I used to want to be just like her and put make up on and get myself dolled up. Also, now we still do this, but the only difference is that my sister's daughter wants to be like me. Therefore, I can truly relate to this image.

  The artwork that I found that interests me is "If, then," found by Alexa. This artwork interests me because it applies to a personal situation with me and another individual. That certain individual says that they love me but doesn't show it because we haven't talked in forever ! Therefore when I saw the little note, it caught my attention because I can relate to it. This is a very true thing.

My nonstalgia object is bananas in pajamas. This is one of my most fondest memories. I received this object when I was just a little girl and have loved it ever since. My mom had put it up for a little while, but just last week, she brought it back out. Her bringing it back to my attention, instantly gave me many memories of when I was a child. I really love bananas in pajamas!
