Music Video as a Work of Art

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELkWIGOxPyk

Some people may not see this as a work of art, but I do. There is a lot of passion in the video. Though it may not be visually pleasing, it is still a work of art. All of Rascal Flatts' videos are amazing and have the same passion behind them. These 3 artists love what they do and take pride in their work. I love this video!

My Favorite Poem

"one month vietnam."
I went through my own Vietnam
a secret Vietnam
and the effects
still bruise me visibly
still cause my hand to shake
visibly
with her every incidental cry,I flinch,
flinch so horribly inside
and I feel it all over again.
thecryingwhythecrying?neverawhyforthecryingjustthecrying
I remember the oily grip on my sanity
the slip and slide in my fingersI
remember the despair,the woman's fear
that maybe something bestial-I-broken-be
that maybe,I don't love my child (deep breath, I do)
And though things are better now,
even good now,
when she tosses in the crib at night
when she calls out, so innocently, so sincerely,
I close my eyes,
and I see minefields.


This is a poem by one of my old friend's, Sarah Pearlman. Though I'm not sure of her feelings or meaning behind it, I can relate to it very well. She is an amazing writer and poet! She has many many great pieces.

Human Condition

As humans we are in a constant state of battle. We fight for freedom, power, and happiness. We may not be in a physical battle, it may be emotional. We are always fighting for something. These constant states of war are what our current and permanent condition is. We fight for things we believe in, things that matter, and to make an impact.

My Favorite Piece of Ceramics

I made about 50 of these things. They were so easy to make. I extruded some clay and took a tupperware container and turned upside down. Then I put a plastic bag over it so the clay wouldn't stick. Then I measured the clay and laid strips down. I enterlaced the bottom strips. They made great gifts. My family loved them very much!

My Love Paintings

These are my paintings about my boyfriend and I. The one on the right isn't finished yet, I had to stop working on it because of homework and finals! I will definately finish it and start more after the tests are done. The one on the left was my first attempt at painting people. It turned out cartoon-ish, but I still really like it. My boyfriend wanted to take it, but I wouldn't let him. I had a small picture to ise for this. It is on a canvas a little bigger than an 8 x 10 piece of paper.

My Paintings

These are a few of my paintings. I did them over the course of a year. I love to paint now!

My Ceramics

I never took an art class before, especially in high school. I needed to fill my schedule up, so I chose a ceramics class. I quickly fell in love with it. These are just a few of my pieces. The yellow jar won "Best in Show" for the ceramics section in my art show. Also, I made an Indian marriage vase that won the "Purchase Award" out of the entire art show. My school purchased and kept the piece on display in the library. I didn't know that I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. I can't, however, throw on the wheel. I prefer hand building!
