Art Critique

Describe: This art piece is a painting of a man laying on a bed after it looks like he has killed himself. In this picture the man painted in it is holding a gun and there is a bloody spot on his side of his stomach.

Analyze: This art piece is more abstract looking but not many shapes are in it. The  paint strokes in the art looks smooth and you can still see some of the paint strokes. Their isnt a variety of colors in this art. The colors this art piece consist of is mostly dark colors which gives it a darker value. Their is not much detail in the picture. The mans face isnt really defined well neither is the other objects in the picture.

Interpret: This art was probably painted of a man who has committed suicide. Hes laying on the bed and holding a gun. I would say that this picture is a serious picture. Not ment to make fun of anything because suicide is a serious topic.

Judge: For some odd reason i like this piece of art. Im not saying its a good thing what the painting represents but i do like it. The piece is very successful because the messege it has.

Spring Break

My spring break was not the most fun spring break i have had. I worked every day of the break besides Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was pretty boring for the most part. I got to hang with some of my friends a little before i went to work everyday but no for long. The first sunday of the break was busy. I had to work 1:15 to 10:00 which was tiresome but moneys is money! For the rest of the break it was steady some oh same oh. I got my prom dress in evensville. Which was kinda excting because i got to get it with my grandma. She had just came back from florida after being there for three months. I missed her so much. Shes my best friend!!! But friday i got to go to one of my past teachers house. Paula Humphreys. We had a fire and roasted hotdogs and we made Apple Dumplings which are the most amazing thing you can eat. I love making those at her house. It was the only fun i had over the break really. We played games and poole, which im am no good at haha. We also did minute to win it games and took tons of pictures. Saturday i pretty much just chilled around the house and watched movies. Sunday was the same. Except i went to get my nails done for the first time!

The sub categories that has the highest was Sequential and Concrete. The lowest was Logical and Random.
What does it mean to be “Right-Brained” or “Left-Brained”?
One side (hemisphere) of the brain--right or left--tends to dominate. A person who is left-hemisphere-dominant tends to be a more logical, linear thinker and more verbally oriented. A person who is right-hemisphere-dominant tends to think more in whole concepts and is more attuned to images and visual thinking
What did you think of the test and its accuracy?
I think the test is pretty accutate but the only thing i disagree with is that the career suggestions were no way near what i want to be in life!

Mozarts Death

Mozarts Death. Was it a murder, accident or disease? It is said that Mozart died on the 5th of December at 1 am. He had fallen ill weeks before untill one day  the great musician suffered a convulsion, lapsed into a coma and died  at the age of 35 years old. The physicains who examined his body found no foul play. But the theory remains on how he died. Without a body to use they couldnt figure out what happened to him.  Mozart's body was never autopsied by his physician, and thanks to his third-class funeral and exhumation and subsequent shuffling about, his remains are now lost to modern researchers as well. Some say he died of strepthroat. Also other theories are that Antonio Salieri was the one who killed Mozart due to his jeliousy. Some theories say that he died of a disease including Uremia, which has to do with kidney failure.

Self Portrait

1. Thoughts that i had while sketching this photo is that first i have no idea how to draw myself without some help by looking into the mirror. Also i thought about how can i make my face porportional with both sides.
2. I dont think my final product looks anything like me.
3. Some people may not want to show anyone because they may not want people to see how they view themselves. Someone may view themselves as something bad or good. But may not want others to see it.
