Arrrrrt Critiquuuue!

1. Describe: In the painting there is a man that has shot himself for an unknown reason. It could’ve been depression, or loneliness. The world may never know.

2. Analyze: This photo has many colors, shape, and lines. There are blue, yellow, green, red, brown, black, and white in this painting. Most of the shapes are rectangles or squares. The others are just organic shapes. You can tell that it was painted because it has streaks of paint instead of smooth. Therefore if you could touch the artwork it would be have a rough texture.

3. Interpret: this photo is serious. I think the message the artist was trying to get across was love is a battlefield. The overall mood is an upsetting mood because the guy killed himself.

4. Judge: I think this work is unique. I probably wouldn’t take it home because it’d be sad to look at all the time. If I did decide to take it home I’d probably hang it in the bathroom.

Meeelodrama!!

A melodrama is a drama that exaggerates the plot and characters to get to the audience’s emotions. Melodrama is normally a comedy, domestic tragedy, neoclassic tragedy and even pantomime.

Spring Break

ALL spring break I was at my friend’s, Haley, house. Thursday I went to Jeremy’s for a while then stayed the night with Haley at Hayley’s with Savannah, Ariana, and Jada. Friday Haley and I stayed the night with them again. Saturday me, Haley, and Hayley’s mom we’re suppose to go to Nashville, but we didn’t have enough gas to get there and back. So Haley and I just hung out with Hayley’s mom all day cause we had nothing better to do. Sunday, we didn’t do much. Monday we cleaned the house then we went and hung out with Hayley, Savannah, and Jada. Tuesday, we hung out with Hayley, Savannah, and Jada. Wednesday I actually went home. My mom took me to the bowling green mall and I got a whole new wardrobe. Thursday, I spent time with Colton and Olivia, then Jeremy, and back to Haley’s house. Friday we walked around town with Hayley and Joseph for hours. Saturday, we hung out at the park for a little bit with Hayley and Aaron. Later that night we went to the river with Hayley, Aaron, Savannah, Gianna, and Jada. After we went to the river we hung out with Coleman, Jared, Matt, Cody, Griffin, Dave, Jacob, and Blade. we hung out with everyone again. Sunday Haley and I visited Coleman at work and met Cody and Jared there. Later on we hung out at the park. Even though it seems like we didn’t do much, my spring break was nothing but memories that will last a life time.

Video Comparison

Critque #1:
Descride- This photo is dark and demented. I see a monster eating a lady. it looks like they're in a cave of some sort.
Analyze- This work looks like it has a rough texture.
Interpert- i dont really get a message from this art work. The overall mood is a scared/frightened one.
Judge- I actually like this picture. I probably would take it home and hang it in the master bedroom or bathroom.
Critque #2:

Analyze- the texture of this photo has a soft one because of the blankets.
Interpert- The overall mood is a sad one but also happy cause he died with a smile on his face.
Judge- I honestly dont like this photo.

The first one is Romanticism because it's dramatic, has visual brush strokes, and refures to a legend of big foot.

The second one is Neoclassicism because it has order, no color, and is calm.

Neoclassicism vs. Romanticism

http://animoto.com/play/URIEHXbxBipPGPDNqHE0tA
I would probably say that I’m a fan of Romanticism more than Neoclassicism because I like the painting during that time period more than the other. I like the way they have more fun or creativity with their paintings than neoclassicism. This had an effect on the pictures I chose for my slideshow. I chose these pictures because I liked them, plain and simple. Now the song a chose was one by Mozart. It’s called Serenade No. 13 A Little Night music - Rondo Allegro. I picked this song because it fit my theme and the flow of the pictures.
1st picture: Portrait of Countess Daru by Eugène Delacroix.

Mozart's Death Theories!

Murder, accident, or disease? There are many theories on how Mozart’s death. Before he dies he had developed a high fever, headaches, sweating, and swelling in his hands and legs. He could’ve got all these symptoms from a poison that an insane rival gave him, which would be murder. On the other hand, he there was a crack in his skull would could cause chronic bruising which put the man in a coma and eventually killed him. That wouldn’t have been anyone’s fault. Also, he could’ve died from a disease because a high fever, headaches, sweating, and swelling are all symptoms of trichinosis. Trichinosis is caused by a parasitic worm from port chops.

Baaroquuue!

Three photos that explain the Baroque era:

 First, Teresa by Bernini. The staue shows a good example of movement. As you can tell the angle is about to kill someone with an arrow.

Second, The Coronation with Thorns by Caravaggio. This is a good example of chiaroscuro because the light shining from the corner is shining right on Jesus.

Third, Judith Slaying Holofernes by Gentileschi. This shows a good example of emotional intensity because you can tell the man being killed was in very much pain.

Extended Weekend.

Over the past 4 days we were out of school, I loaded my schedule up with exciting things to do. Thursday I went over to Jared’s house and went sledding with him, Cody, Coleman, and Matt. “WWEEEE,” everyone screamed going down the steep hill. I chickened out and went back to the car because I couldn’t feel my feet. After three hours, they were FINALLY finished. We all went back to Jared’s house, where is was warm, and Haley came over. We just chilled until Coleman decided to take us home. Saturday I did nothing until like 10pm. I had Haley, Coleman, Hayley, Colton, Clay, and Justin come over for a bit. We listened to music, danced in the strobe light, and just had a good time.  You could say that music and dance had an impact on my long weekend because that’s all my friends and I ever do. bahahaha!

-WhatIsAPrezi?
 Prezi is a web-based presentation tool using a map layout and zooming to show contextual relationships which addresses some of the shortcomings of Microsoft PowerPoint.
-HowIsItDifferentFromAPowerPoint?
I think you should remember that these are very different tools, and they have different pros and cons. Prezi: during a presentation, it’s not going to be that different to powerpoint.
Powerpoint: probably more flexible, you can do a lot more with it. 
It is probably fair to say that Prezi is better visually, while PowerPoint does a good job on written content, but you could create a visual PowerPoint and a texty Prezi.

Christams Break!!

Over Christmas break, I went to my father’s house. He lives in Arizona so I had to drive to Nashville, and then ride on a plane for 3 hours! I guess you could say that was the highlight of my break. NOOT! I came back 5 days before school started and did nothing but chill with friends, which in my opinion is the BABABABOMB DIGGITY. I was mostly at Haley, my best friend’s, house. We enjoyed the time we spent together because we were separated for 8 days!  FOREVER RIGHT! Uhh, that’s pretty much my Christmas break besides the numerous amount of times I went to the movies with my father and step-mother. BAHAHAHAHA!
