Art and the Human Behavior



This picture displays human behavior because in America most people are money hungry, and this is caused by the cultural influence.

Art and the Human Nature




The picture portrays human nature in a comedic way,
I say this because everybody looks in curiousity when
they see a accident.

Art and the Human Psyche



The little train that could is a great example of human
psyche. The basic theme is if you put your mind to it you
can acheive it.

Skittles (Free Post)



Purple skittles are my favorite candy, they are delicious lol.

Graffiti Beat



This is some graffiti from downtown Atlanta near the train station.

This Artist I Know: Inseperable

Inseperable is a group of my friends who are all brothers and they are trying to get there way in the music industry. They have talent but still have not been signed yet hopefully they will in the future. Check out there myspace page http://www.myspace.com/inseperable21.

Art and the Human Condition




Some artist paint according to what they were going through but Anne Frank wrote a diary explaining what happened to her.

Catharsis



Due to the weather changing crazily, I felt frustrated.

Titanic is a Work of Art


The titantic was a work of art because it had everything that you want to get out of a movie, suspense, romance, drama, and art. This film was amazinge and there will not be many other movies that can compare to this movie because it is so suspenseful. One of the greatest movies of all time.

Fashion as Art



I chose this photo because it is a dress version of a famous work of art. This dress is very uniquely designed.

My Left/Right Brain


I consider myself to be both-brained lol. I say
this because I am pretty good at being creative
and writing papers and taking tests.

My Photographic Theme: Football














I just chose some of my favorite NFL running backs of all-time. Cliton Portis, Emmitt Smith, LT, Marion Barber, Barry Sanders. There are plenty more that I like though.

Self Portrait




This is a picture of me that I painted in high school. The topic was to paint a picture of yourself with a cultural influence. This represents me because it has my cultures in it which are African and Native American.

The Art of This Culture (Egyptian)



I chose to do Ancient Egyptian Art. Most of their art was an expression in painting and sculpture was both highly stylized and symbolic. Much of the surviving art comes from tombs and monuments and therefore is an emphasis on life after death and the preservation of knowledge of the past.

I Love This Piece of Architecture


The Statue of Liberty to me is very interesting to me not only because it is beautiful, but the act that it is made of copper and that it only looks green because of the chemical reactions.

Isesha Poem by Lupe Fiasco

They thought it was cool to burn crosses on your front lawn as they hung you from trees in your backyard They thought it was cool to leave you thirsty and stranded, Katrina! He thought it was cool to carry a gun in his classroom and open fire, Virginia Tech, Columbine Stop the violence! They thought it was cool to tare down the projects and put up million dollar condos, Gentrification They think it's cool to stand on the block hiding product in their socks to make quick dime bag dollars They think it's cool to ride down on you in blue and white unmarked cars busting you upside your head Freeze... 'Cause the problem is we think it's cool too Check your ingredients before you overdose, on The Cool...

I chse this poem because it tells about the wrongs in this world and how America is getting out of hand.

My Favorite Artist



My favorite artist is rap legend Tupac Shakur. Even though I was young when he came out his lyrics and talk about change. He spoke his mind and did what he had to do to survive, unfortunately some enemies tragically murdered him. In my opinion he is the greatest of all time.

Art on Youtube pt 2

This video on youtube is some of Salvador Dali's artwork. He best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work which is demonstrated in the video.

Art on Youtube

This is a video on youtube of some of Picasso's artwork. They have meaning which makes you think deeply about them.

Dance

I found this dance to be very exciting and unique it is the Jabbawockeez.

Art and The Human Struggle



This picture shows a homeless woman and her child. This is awful and sad because there a thousands of people living on the streets and there are millionaires living in mansions, this needs to change.

Dioramas

The diorama that I am going to talk about is the one about drunk driving. This diorama made me feel a strong sense of sorrow and sadness. Although, it did not teach me anything new, it was very creative. I would have to say that after looking at this diorama it makes you think twice about drinking and driving, also to not let your friends drive while drunk. This diorama most definitely displays a message that can be considered a propaganda.
