However, it is incomplete and waiting to be drawn, as I continue to look forward with great aspiration and joy to excel. In the mural of history, our lives are portrayed as art. Our families’ memories are embedded in paintings, which are interconnected through experiences and differences. Within the grand mural of America is where my painting lies, adding diversity to the entire artwork of African American and Latino culture. Although my life began as a simple white streak of paint, several colors have swirled and smeared with me.
Almost like he is creating a movie with words, Diaz paints a picture for his readers with every sentence. Using slang and street words it he gives you a front seat to living in an urban city. Critics were not accustom to Latino authors with this sort of style and detailed writing. “Diaz’s style is lucid and often funny” Diaz’s intelligent writing style was somewhat easy to understand even though he was using slang some of the time. A smooth author created sentences and phrases that made strong connections with urban and domestic lifestyles.
At first, the 'negro hut' in which they lived suited him and he enjoyed watching people in their daily activities. [3] However, the weather in the summer was hot and the hut leaked in the rain. He also suffered dysentery and marsh fever. While in Martinique, he produced between ten and twenty works (twelve being the most common estimate). While in Martinique, Gauguin traveled widely there and apparently came into contact with the small community of Indian immigrants, a contact that would later influence his art through the incorporation of Indian symbols.
Being an avid outdoorsman this painting spoke to me like none of the others, it reminded me of all the memorable days I’ve spent backpacking through the Sierra Nevada mountains with my friends. This painting represents the raw beauty of the outdoors. This painting was painted using oil on canvas sometime before 1938. He used a very thick brush when painting this in order to create a “blotchy” effect
The world today as we know it has completely evolved over the past fifty years. Street art is an art of its own form, which the audience chooses itself, and at times you have to look hard to see or understand what you are viewing. But on the other hand the message is as clear as day. Street art makes every day life a journey. Every week there is a new expedition as there is always new work being pasted and sprayed around.
He received training from his father Jose Ruiz. Picasso’s paintings were inspired by a lot of the major events that took place in his life. Very important inspirations to Picasso’s paintings were the women in his life. He had many lovers throughout his life. In 1917 he married Olga Khokhlova.
Wassily Kandinsky There is no doubt that Wassily is a unique and influential artist who had left his mark upon the Expressionist Movement. He started by studying Art in the Munich Academy of Art where he developed an interest and what was known as decorative art. Soon Wassily became a well known figure in the art community in Munich. But Munich was not enough for his dreams and ambition. In the period between 1903 and 1908 he had a tour around Europe with his friend Gabriela Munter and they participated in many exhibitions.
People need connections with others, but these connections are not always what brings them to their absolute highest level of happiness. Chris proceeded to record his personal thoughts in his journal, further proving to the reader the point that personal connections are not essential to happiness. “I now walk out and live amongst the wild. Take care, it was great knowing you.” (69), Chris wrote on a card sent to two generous people, Jan and Bob Burres. How briefly this sentence was written and how easily the “good-bye” was said to the couple that took him in and gave him supplies, Chris had displayed that his desire to be on his own was greater than his desire for theirs or anyone’s, friendship.
Many of these boys were on the streets due to the decline in apprentices. These boys’ views were not of Victorian values nor traditional society. For these boys, it was survival of the fittest, not whether it was the right thing to do or not. (Gilfoyle, pg.28) Their mentality was you protect what you get or you didn’t deserve to have them. During this time period the aspect of family was also quickly evolving.
He was educated at home so he had no real idea of what life was like outside of his family which may of created an ignorance to what was going on around him. Furthermore he was rather aimless and lacking in motivation in early life so he wouldn't of cared what was going on much as he wouldn't of had the drive to do anything about it. However his upbringing did help a little as when he went to secondary school, a school called Gorton that was private and had a fee, he was motivated by his headmaster who inspired him and urged him to help people less fortunate than himself and enter public service. This was helpful as his headmaster was inspiring. He went to Harvard university which gave him his independence and taught him how to handle things on his own.
