I love the...

Taj Mahal. I always have. I love how the emperor built it for his favorite wife. I love how it contrasts against the horizon. I love the white marble and the reflecting pool.

Favorite artist(s)

I don't think I have a single favorite artist.

I love Edward Hopper.


And Edgar Degas.



Basically, I love painters. Especially ones who paint people and use light and shadow in interesting ways.

rightbrain/leftbrain

I feel that I'm incredibly balanced when it comes to left-right brains. Part of a painting that I did a few years ago. It's of a dogwood blooming in my yard. And the periodic table! Because I love chemistry.

fashion as art

Fashion is just art you wear.

I love the blog yellow orange wonderland. It has tons of pictures like this.





Jackson pollock dot org = AMAZING


jacksonpollock.org is this AWESOME little website I came across the other day when I was browsing through the web. You just move your mouse around and create digital artwork that looks just like Pollocks. Isn't mine nifty?

art on youtube

I love coffee. And I love YouTube.

diorama drama


my diorama.

All the dioramas I saw today were I awesome!
:)

I agreed VERY much with the Broke College Kid diorama.
I learned something I didn't know from the TOMS diorama.
I thought the No Child Left Behind/No Soldier Left Behind diorama was really creative.
The Protesting War at the Funeral of a Fallen Soldier diorama made me think deeply.
I didn't like the Mike Vick diorama.
And I didn't like the Lakers diorama, but I could understand where the artist was coming from.
And I thought the Child Abuse diorama was really bold.

It was a little empowering to create something about an issue. And it was fun to see what people's comments were.
