Post 23: Island of Love

This island is the land of love. Many couples go here to reconnect or strengthen what they have. However, there was this one couple in particular that had other reasons; they wanted to find someone else to fall in love with because they were tired of each other. Not knowing the island could sense this, what they thought they would accomplish was the complete opposite. So the island can keep its legacy, the island made their time on there pure torture. The beautiful beach home couples usually have collapsed on this couple. The fresh, sweet fruit was rotten and spoiled. The beautiful weather was now cold and raining. Instead of lovable animals, they were now deadly creatures. All that time while they were being tortured, their connection got stronger without them knowing. Although their vacation was terrible the most important part was that they reestablished their love for each other. Once again the land of love kept its legacy alive. 

Post 22: My Performance Artist

This is really interesting because I didn't know I had to pick a performance artist. I don't even know what is a performance artist. Please help me Ms. Coffee I'm so lost!!! 

Post 21: Inkblot By Dynnad

I really like this inkblot, it's different from the ones I'm use to. Me personally I hate inkblots, my experience with them was horrible. I had anger management class for two years and my counselor loved having these inkblots sessions. I never saw the purpose of them since I never participated. Usually I would think of inkblots as something splashed on a white sheet of paper. I always wanted to know is there one main perception of an inkblot or are there many perceptions because some perception of inkblots are obvious. Perfect example is this inkblot;  my perception of this one is basically trees and bushes with their reflection in the water. If anyone gets something different I wouldn't know or understand why.

Post 20: Marcel Duchamp

This fits into the Dada Movement because during this movement artists were basically destroying artwork from left to right. As you can see Marcel Duchamp recreated the Mona Lisa with a beard and mustache. Technically he didn't destroy the artwork, but he insulted it. The Mona Lisa is a highly respected piece of artwork and Duchamp wrote all over it. Also during this time artists were call non-artists.  To me Marcel is one too since he didn't do any work at all. Seriously anybody can draw a mustache and beard so this doesn't show any originality at all. All it does it raise controversy and talk.

Post 19: My Experience

My journey, so far, isn’t an easy one at all. I’ve pulled out hair, started over at least 10 times, used 50 erasers, and more. When I heard we had to paint I knew this wasn’t going to be easy. For everybody who doesn’t know, I can’t paint if my life depended on it. My hands shake so bad I’m surprised I haven’t been diagnosed with Parkinson. That’s why I’m very grateful to have two of the most talented artists I ever seen with Lorenzo on the side : ). I really have to say what keeps me going is just laughing and having fun with my table. Even though Mz. Cheung is always gangster with me, I appreciate her completely. Having Reyna around to make sure my portraits are on point is a sign of relief as well. With crazy Lorenzo to keep us laughing makes it the perfect little table. I know people say art is an individual thing, but those three people really makes me question that. If it wasn’t for them I would be failing this project right about now. With them by my side I know I’m going to get that glorious A. So thank you all a ton! I love you guys (and gals) a bunch! 

Post 18: What Do You Want From Me By: Audrey Dutroux

I really love this picture. It seems he's trying to be bad, but is really a good boy. This artist doesn't use a lot of color, but the values he used made this artwork perfect. I love how he uses the tint in the back to bring out that indescribable setting. I really like the tattoo under his left eye; very unique and intriguing. The way the cigarette in perfectly in his mouth just give me shivers. There's something about his eyes that instantly draws me to them and mesmerize me. All in all this artwork is really superb; simple but yet complex.

Post 17: Fernado Botero

I really like Botero. His artwork is very comical and intriguing to look at. I find it very ironic as well. Looking through his portraits I see that all of the people he draw are fat, but yet they are eating healthy foods. Now I know some people can't help they are fat, but you don't see none of them only eating fruit either. Anyways, back to the task. I don't see a lot of SPRITE in here. To be honest I don't see none at all. It's hard to categorize a portrait when I was only taught to categorize subjects dealing with history. Since I must socially would obviously be the he/she man. Politically would be how powerful and equal women are to men because the man is dressed in women clothes. Religiously can be how people are free to express themselves in many ways. Institutionally could be how people will be/act if they don't go to school. Technically I can't even guess. Economically could be how weak their economy is.
