Narration

Being a newbie at the whole Art world/Industry I still do not know alot of things. The thing I always find amusing is that when you learn something new it always pops up a few days after you learn it. After going through the Vocabulary list and then seeing it in advertisements for Britney Spears next single, Thought it was pretty awesome.
In this section we also learned about traditional photography. This photo was taken in August of 1976 in Portugal. This is a photo of my Mom and Dad along with my cousin. That was then, and this is now;
My Beloved mother who is battling lung cancer and undergoing treatment to remove 8 tumors found in her head <3 she is the love of my life and I will be by her side until the end. Still as beautiful as the first photo just with a hint of age.

My Father, who works hard to provide a easy life for his wife and kids now much chunkier from the photo above.

This is my beautiful cousin Grace still looking ravishing as ever raising two kids going to school full-time and running a multimillion dollar company.

I think its amazing to see the changes in peoples life cycles when comparing their old photographs with current ones. It's amazing that we all keep growing, time never stops for anyone.

Light and Shade in Medieval and Renaissance Painting

I chose this painting by Van Gogh because it looked like it related to what we were learning about still life. These old pair of boots, look worn and damaged but they were chosen to create this beautiful piece of art for whatever reason Van Gogh had. 
The funniest thing is that this was ALWAYS my favorite toy when i was little, and the fact that it was the first thing I thought about when learning about three dimensional art Rocks! you could turn any of these normal pins into a 3d object.... amazing!
