The Meaning of Art

What is Art? Art is creating something from nothing. It's a universal theme that can be understood from any age. It brings us closer with others. Every artistic piece tells a story, whether its lyrically or visually. It's building something to your preference that you'll be proud of. Some may criticize, while others admire. It's finding beauty among things we take for granted. Art is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation since the beginning of time. Art is; creativity, beauty, and inspiration.

Fine Work...

While I was in Vegas this past weekend, these three paintings were the few that really caught my eye. From a distance, I thought they were pictures but the closer I approached, I then realized they were paintings. Something about these paintings really spoke out and at that moment I enjoyed them even more due to knowing the artist did a great job on capturing an audience and telling a story.

Not just a Hobby

Art isn't always putting pen to paper or paint to canvas...

Art by Peers

Art by live Artist, in person

Art pieces by Famous Artist

I took these pictures live and it's another story up in person.

Personal Paintings

This first painting is my anti-bullying poster I created in my art class with Dr.Del Rio. I came up with the idea after staring at a dead tree with a single bird. I searched a picture and this is what I found. It was a black and white picture so I put a lot of thought into the color. Everything among the painting strongly represents something. It represents a society, the dead tree, in which at least one person is being bullied, the red bird. The background color, which is blue, represents a dark world. Each bird in the painting is a different type of bird, representing the differences of race and cultures. Last, the moon represents the light among the one being bullied. In other words, it's the bullying we see everyday but decide to not do anything about it. 

Personal Drawings

Due to my masterpiece being on visual pieces I had my presentation on prezi. However, since I did it on my phone it didn't necessarily go to plan. I did not want to post each photo on my blog, yet that's what it came to.
