Introduction

     My name is Jade and I am from North Pole, Alaska. I have just recently moved to Fairbanks last month and it has been a while ride. With all of the unpacking and scheduling, and now with school just starting I have never felt so busy. However, I always want to have something to do and keep myself busy or else I feel like I am not doing enough. I have one dog named Casper who is a chihuahua pit bull mix, weird breed I know. He basically looks like a muscular chihuahua. I love to paint and draw and have an immense amount of art that I have created just collecting in my old house.


    The artwork that I chose was the sculpture of Eros and Psyche. I have just always found it to look beautiful and telling of their love story. 

    I've always been closely linked to art as I have always loved to draw. I loved being the art kid in class and just having a talent that not everyone had. I have a large collection of old sketch books that I have collected over the years. Just recently, in the past few years, have I started to expand on my skill and dabble in some painting. I would love to get into sculpting too but I love what I do now. I would love to attend an art museum as well.

    How exciting to be moving and settling into a new area, but also a lot of work! I’ve always enjoyed interpreting the story of art, and it’s interesting to compare different perspectives of the same art piece to see how other’s view of art compares to your own. Best of luck on your future creative art endeavors!

Renaissance

  The Piece that I chose was the Mona Lisa as it is still very relevant today. At the time seeing an oil painting capture such realism was very influential and even inspired other artist to create similar works from Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa.  This painting was birthed in Florence sometime between 1503 - 1519. That such a simple painting that captures a women faintly smiling could cause such an impact on art in the Italian Renaissance era. Personally I would own a copy of this piece as I love the discussions still being discussed about this piece of art. How it influences the art world even today. Her smile is almost mysterious but calming at the same time. I also find it fascinating that a simple portrait of a simple women could be so beautiful. This piece is timeless.   As this painting became a treasure for many and has been stolen many times. Which is another reason why I would love a copy of this painting because it’s story is even more intriguing. Her smile...

Romanticism Era, Realism v. Romanticism

      In this post, I will compare two forms of art in the romanticism era, one, of course, being romanticism and the other being realism. Looking at their elements and the way artists use colors, brush strokes, and even imagery to display their work in the romantic era. In other words, these works often show real-life events or exaggerate them by romanticizing them.  Realism The Gleaners, Jean-Francois Milet     In this piece, we can see a depiction of three peasants tending the fields. This is an excellent example of realism, as this was the case in the early 1800s. We can see no exaggerated colors; these are real people who existed, ad the colors appear dull and unsaturated. For most, this was a painted description of rural life, a touch of nature sprinkled on the canvas. This can also display the turning of the seasons, as we can see in the browning of the grass and how misty the atmosphere is. However, what I believe can be interpreted from this p...
