Art and Human Behavior



This is Art and Human behavior because humans behave with each other. Their natural behavior is to flock together. Human cannot function without each other and this piece of art perfectly describes it!

Art and the Human Condition



This picture is title The Human Condition. I believe it represents the human condition because life is full of temptations. This woman is being tempted in many different ways.

Art and the Human Struggle



This picture shows the human struggle of starving children. There are many children throughout the world who sometimes go days without a meal. Pictures are a great way to show human struggle.

I'm having a Catharsis

This song is Skin by Rascal Flatts. I'm having a catharsis because this song reminds my of my cousin who passed away of childhood cancer. It really provokes many emotions. My cousin was six months older than me and died when she was 12 years old. Every time i hear this song my eyes start to tear up.

Why I believe this film is a work of art.

I believe the film Titanic is a true work of art. There are many elements of art all throughout the movie. The main character loves art and owns many paintings. The special effects in this movie are great and the music really touches my heart. The pictures of the ship from a far are true pieces of art. I love this movie!

Here is a clip from the movie:

Dance

">

This is very cool!! These people are dancing as a team to make body sculptures. Their movements are so precise and they have no know exactly what they are doing. They do a great job of putting human bodies together and making art by dancing.

Art on Youtube II

This is a very unique way of art! This person took an ordinary every day used item and turned it into something meaningful and beautiful! I think this art is amazing!

On the Graffiti Beat




I found this graffiti driving to Phenix City, Alabama. I was stopped at a red light and was looking around and saw the graffiti on a 18 wheeler truck. I believe this is a form of art because it is a way someone can express themselves. Art is the process of arranging elements in a way that appeals to emotions. This graffiti catches a persons eye who is just driving by it. Therefore, yes graffiti is art!

My favorite artist is Diana Leary. She is a British artist and her works consist of hand painted ceramics, mosaics, fresco and mural. I like her work because I love flowers and things from nature. I also think her window murals are beautiful!

Poetry Slam

">

Poetry slam is a contest for poets. This is a video of one of the contestants. I love poetry because each person can be unique. Everyone has their own experiences to reflect on and it is beautiful in its own way.

I love this piece of Architecure



This piece of architecture is located in downtown Chicago. This picture was taken during a boat tour on the Chicago river. The most interesting thing about this piece of architecture is that it is actually a parking garage!

I have shown this to many people and most can see her going both directions. I can only see her spinning clockwise and cannot see her spinning counter clockwise at all! What can you see?

This Artist I Know


">


My cousin, Andrew Crawford is an atrist. He writes music and play the guitar very good! He is also a teacher. He teaches music and I believe music is definately an art. He helped make this video and write this song. He is a very talented individual.

Art and Human Nature




I think this picture best describes Art and Human Nature because there are two people in the natural environment. I think nature is the outdoors, things that are naturally grow. If you add human to nature I envision people being outside. This picture is perfect!

Fashion as Art


I think this picture perfectly describes fashion as art because it looks like a painting, but it is really a woman in an outfit. It is a beautiful portrait as art and as fashion.
