Recommended: Development of the role of a teacher

What I learned from my first experience of high school is to NOT take a art class if you love art. My ancestors on my mother’s side have been artists for many generations back. Therefore, when I began to take up a pencil and draw my thoughts, my parents had no suprise. Now I’m not saying I am a good artist; in fact, many famous artists never liked their own work. However, art became a major part of my life, especially in my later years. Drawing was always very relaxing hobby. It I had a very stressful day at school, drawing was the perfect way to unwind. How does this relate to art classes? We will get to that soon. In elementary school, we had an art class every couple of weeks. As a child who loved to draw, I would look forward to that day. Our teacher was Mrs. Rosemerry or Roseberry. I can’t quite remember. Nonetheless, she was a very kind lady and still my favorite art teacher I have had to this day. She was a free spirit and let me do as I pleased. She didn’t make me hold back on my potential or my style of art. Not saying I have a specific style, but she was always very accepting. Then comes middle school. …show more content…

All of my thought of art class were completely changed. This teacher was ruthless when it came to deadlines. Deadlines were always a problem for me because good art took time. In order for my piece to turn out how I wished, I couldn’t be rushed. The weight of a deadline always being on my back pressured me to turn in awful looking projects. However, towards the end of my eighth grade year, the teacher and I came to better terms with one another. She began to let me do my own projects. This was the best thing a teacher could have done for me. Instead of dreading my art class, I began to look forward to it. My pieces turned out to be great and I gained much optimism for my high school

    In high school, an Arts credit is required. To obtain this art credit students take art, but not all students are good at it. Many people love to draw, visual learners draw things to explain themselves. People create art to explain how they feel or see the world. If a student puts the time and hard work into their art, and they get told their art is not up to standards and the teacher fails it, that student may give up on art and not pursue something they genuinely enjoy.

    The first painting analyzed was North Country Idyll by Arthur Bowen Davis. The focal point was the white naked woman. The white was used to bring her out and focus on the four actual colored males surrounding her. The woman appears to be blowing a kiss. There is use of stumato along with atmospheric perspective. There is excellent use of color for the setting. It is almost a life like painting. This painting has smooth brush strokes. The sailing ship is the focal point because of the bright blue with extravagant large sails. The painting is a dry textured flat paint. The painting is evenly balanced. When I look at this painting, it reminds me of settlers coming to a new world that is be founded by its beauty. It seems as if they swam from the ship.

  • Art History Research Paper

    Imagine pondering into a reconstruction of reality through only the visual sense. Without tasting, smelling, touching, or hearing, it may be hard to find oneself in an alternate universe through a piece of art work, which was the artist’s intended purpose. The eyes serve a much higher purpose than to view an object, the absorptions of electromagnetic waves allows for one to endeavor on a journey and enter a world of no limitation. During the 15th century, specifically the Early Renaissance, Flemish altarpieces swept Europe with their strong attention to details. Works of altarpieces were able to encompass significant details that the audience may typically only pay a cursory glance. The size of altarpieces was its most obvious feat but also its most important. Artists, such as Jan van Eyck, Melchior Broederlam, and Robert Campin, contributed to the vast growth of the Early Renaissance by enhancing visual effects with the use of pious symbols. Jan van Eyck embodied the “rebirth” later labeled as the Renaissance by employing his method of oils at such a level that he was once credited for being the inventor of oil painting. Although van Eyck, Broederlam, and Campin each contributed to the rise of the Early Renaissance, van Eyck’s altarpiece Adoration of the Mystic Lamb epitomized the artworks produced during this time period by vividly incorporating symbols to reconstruct the teachings of Christianity.

    She attempted to get me to switch my minor to business or language, even though I made it clear I had no interest in either subject. This was a big deal to me because I usually do everything my mother asks without putting up much resistance. This was the only time I did something that was just for me. I’m glad I did not switch. Drawing 1 was one of the hardest classes I ever took. I had to sleep in the studio just to have enough time to finish my artwork, as did all of my classmates. The entire class of about twenty people became close, a result of spending every meal together. I learned how to be friendly in this class, and my awkwardness from high school evaporated. Even though I loved Drawing 1, I still wanted to make my career in the

    Art can be used to raise scores in every subject, “Students who took four years of art classes scored 91 points higher on their SAT exams than those who took half a year or less. Multiple studies also confirmed that there is a correlation between art engagement and students’ other achievements.” (Valeriya Metla) Even with the research linking art and better grades some educators think that it is more worth while to only focus on the core classes because it is more important to fund what is being tested than to help raise children who are creative.

    Summer break was over, and it was the time to go back to school to my eleventh grade. School for me wasn’t that different as my summer break. I never felt like not going to school after a long summer break because I used to have a lot of fun in school. School for me was a place where you would socialize, gossip, brag, drive attention, miss conduct, daydream, text students, sing, ask silly questions and flirt with girls. I think now you know how my days at school used to be. However, a day has come that I would not expect it to come at all. I suddenly became a much disciplined student that I would not do anything out of the way.

  • Art And Design Essay

    870 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the art community there is a lot of controversy in distinguishing what the difference between an artist and a designer. Designers are told they are not artist and they need to stop thinking they are artist. When dealing with art and design specific demographics and viewers interpret the messages of each subject in different ways. Art is said to be elucidated and design is said to be understood. Artists usually develop a work of art with the intention of bringing an emotion viewpoint, instinctive feeling, and or state of mind. When you look at an artist work it cannot be limited to just exhibiting one individual thought or just one individual meaning. That is a big difference when it comes to graphic design. Graphic design usually has a very specific goal and point to make. When dealing with graphic design there should not be any room or space for any mixed messages or multiple meanings. The audience of the design should immediately understand the design that the designer created. Art connects to people differently in so many ways. The only reason it connects to people in different ways is only because it is interpreted differently.
