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.
