What art is.....

I know what art is......art is what you do to express yourself in any manner you see fit. As for me, I AM ART!!!! I express myself through various ways. The number one way is I dance through my frustrations. If I'm not able to dance, then the only other option is to speak my mind, in a way I feel will be heard. By dancing I feel as though I can exprees whatever I'm going through. Whether I'm having a good day or stressed out about classes. Dancing givee me that sense of relief. In a given time, I'm not alloted to dance, I speak what is on my mind. I speak my mind, as best as I can.....and sometimes out of frustration I tend to posses an attitude. And in that case, no one knows how and what will come out my mouth. All I can say is do not take what I say to heart, if I have an attitude when saying it. I am art because I tend to do whatever I want and in any I want.......and could care less on people's opinion on me. All I can say is, BECOME YOUR OWN PERSON!!!!!!!!

LOVE, LIVE, DRAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

Architecture

Falling Water, is one of my favorite pieces of architecture!!!!! I love how it is made into the environment. It is one of the most talked about pieces of architecture today. This piece of architecture is so famous that it was recreated on a cake competition on the food network channel...........and WON!!!!!! The piece of architecture took my breathe away the first time I saw it. I remember the first thought that crossed my mind...."I would totally live there." That was until I thought about nature and I and how the two of us don't mix, but still it is a beautiful feature. I would not mind going on tour around it. This piece of art definitely speaks to anyone who has an open mind. I think it is crazy how someone can think of designing and constructing a breathe taking structure....I applaud anyone has the ability to do that. KUDOS TO FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT!!!!!!!

Favorite Artist

My favorite artist is, with hands down, Jackson Pollock!!!! Even though I just found out about him, I can say that I've been trying to do some art pieces like he has done! He's awesome! I like the way his art portrays what he's feeling. I know many might say they don't get his works of art, but if you sit back and study what his art, you would start to understand him. I think I like him so much because I've always wanted to just slap some paint around on a canvas and it be considered art. Like how many can say that? I think by him using this technique it allows us to think about what was going through his head when he created his artwork. I think of Pollock as the artist who can do whatever he wants.....if he can throw a couple of colors on a canvas and it be called art, then I mean what else is there to do!!!!

Art Education

Art Education in schools............KEEP IT!!!! Art education is something that should be kept in schools, for the simple fact.......some people aspire to be an artist or something that has to do with the art world. I know when I was younger, I wanted to be an architect, because I wanted to design my own house......so when I got to middle school I started taking art classes and continued taking them throughout my high school career. I just think through art you are allowed to express yourself to the fullest.....no matter how you express yourself whether it is through drawing, painting, dancing, writing, etc....do it. In school, art education should be a considered a core class. I mean why only have it as an elective, I think art education is something every student should take to learn about the way of art, the reason art is art, what are the types of arts, what is considered to be art, etc.... keep art in the schools. Recently, some schools across the globe are cutting out art classes as well as music classes because they cannot afford the costs of it. Like I think that is the most bizarre thing in the entire world......maybe that is the reason why the generations to come will not be able to do anything but sit at the computer or play video games. Keep art, if not children as we know them won't know what to do with a pencil let alone a marker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9r@Ff!+! (GRAFFITI)

On the Graffiti beat........can it be considered to be art? I think it depends on what it is and where it is located. Graffiti is art in its own way..... I think graffiti is art because it shows how the artist depicts a certain event within their life. The artist, as a matter of fact, any artist has the right to express themselves through any type of art they feel expresses them the most. As a graffiti artist, these terms are limited to certain extent. A graffiti artist has to make sure they do their work in appropriate places, places where they are not going to get in trouble for doing their work. All in all, I think graffiti can be considered art. After all, it IS art right..... Graffiti takes on a new meaning of artistic expression. I think the problem with people accepting graffiti artist and their work is the way the artist portarys his art and where they portray it. I think if graffiti artists found new places to put their artwork, I feel as though they would be accepted into the art world fully. If you were a graffiti artist, where would you put your artwork? what would your artwork be?.........

bR@!N

My right side of my brain is the side of the brain I would say I use a little LESS than my left side. When I was younger I always thought with the right side of my brain. I always drawing on walls, dancing around the house, coloring in the coloring books......you name it I did it. I think as child you are encouraged to be creative, that the child tends to forget the logic behind doing certain things. I feel as though as you go through life, you learn from your mistakes and therefore makes a person put logic behind their reason in doing something or not. In my life, I have INDEED learned from mistakes and I think that with putting reasoning and logic into the situation, it makes you think about situation in an entire different light. My right side of the brain is still in use and in certain situations takes over......, but somewhere waiting in the mist is the left side of my brain awaiting the time where it can put its logic into a situation. My left brain, I can honestly say, has gotten me out of certain situations that would have turned out to be bad in the end. I think that is why I feel like using the left side is not bad at all. Maybe left side is better???? Psych.......THE RIGHT BRAIN RULES!!!!!!!!!

FASHION

Fashion as art......many may say, how can that be? In some cases, people look at a fashion trend, and the question that runs across their minds, "How is that fashion?" Well fashion to one may not be fashion to be another. In a fashion designer's eyes fashion is how you interpret it. Everyone has their own fashion sense and it all goes back to how you see fashion in your own way. If someone was to ask Calvin Klein, Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, or Ralph Lauren they would have different answers, because they have different styles and tastes in the fashion world. FASHION is art, it can be expressed through many ways... It can be expressed through the fabric, how it is put together, etc. When I think of fashion I think what is the hottest thing that everyone wants. Other times I think of fashion runways shows, and think, "Wow, where would anyone wear that to?" I mean fashion is what it is.....fashion. No matter how it looks or when you wear it, fashion will always be around, it will always change, and it will forever be interpreted in its own way. So next time you see a "fashion statement," just think of it as if that person is was expressing themselves through their artist ways of clothing. FASHION IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT!!!!
