I Love This Piece of Architecture



This is a cathedral that I visited during my trip to Europe. It was not only magnificent on the outside, but also in the inside. We weren't allowed to take photos inside of the building, but it was absolutely gorgeous. The dome of the building is the second largest in the world. It was amazing and I am happy that I was able to visit it and see how talented the architect is.

Art Education in Schools






















These pictures were taken at a local middle school where my mother works. The art teacher there is very caring and really wants the kids to learn as much as they can about art. They learned about Op Art. They drew still lifes. They worked on making Georgia O'Keffe flowers. They drew optical illusions. They also did silhouettes. I like seeing that art isn't just an extra class for the kids to take, but that they are really learning about art in class.

My Favorite Artist

My favorite artist is Georgia O'Keffe. She paints a lot of flowers. I also love to paint flowers. Her paintings are very colorful and detailed. They are absolutely gorgeous. I enjoyed seeing some of her work at the High Museum in Atlanta. I included one of her artworks in my paper about the High Museum as my favorite work of art. I really like looking at her paintings.

Dance



Ballet is a magical form of art in dance. The dancers can make beautiful shapes and lines to express themselves and to tell a story. Every dance has emotion behind it. They are talented artists and shouldn't go unnoticed.

Fashion as Art


Lady Gaga always wears unique clothing. In an interview I have heard her say that she considers what she wears art. I agree with her. It is amazing to see what she will come out wearing next. People criticize her, but she is an artist, both in music and fashion.

Human Struggle



This, to me, represents human struggle in art form. It represents someone holding back all of their emotions, but there is a person forcing them to spill whatever they are holding back.

Les Miserables: A work of Art


I have seen the play Les Miserables twice, once in Atlanta at the Fox, and another in London, England. I have also seen the movie, and, even though the plays were better, the movie is still a work of art. It is amazing. The songs are great and the plot is really good!
