For our art assignment last week, we made collages. It was a very fun and enjoyable activity, but for this week I am going to describe someone else’s collage. Today I will be describing Brandy Corsaro collage. It has a great detail and is very creative. It has a lot of originality to it and other aspects. First the collage is cut into a white circular shape with red lines, which is a baseball. I interpreted that the style of which it was cut and the symbol meant that they play the sport or have a involvement within the sport. The pictures that this person included in her college are very unique and show a lot of different sides. In the first top of the collage it included pictures of puppys/dogs, the coast, food and exercising. This tells
me from the top picture that she enjoys her free time spent outside doing something active rather than sitting inside. In the middle, under the first red line drawn, there are three pictures spaced out clearly it is parents, friends, and a significant other. I'm assuming that these three pictures represent what she connects very deeply to and cherish. Under the second red baseball line, in the bottom half of the collage there are pictures of sport activities. This includes a baseball board on a field, the team “Mets” and a giants football helmet. This tells me that she enjoys and is amused by these things that are at the bottom. The collage contains lines as mentioned before and a shape of a cloud in the middle line. It also has colors, the colors blend very nicely as it seems that blue is the 2nd base color as white is the first one overall. The only colors that do contrast is the picture of the dogs a tan color and the mets a green color. The texture of the college is very smooth overall, except for the family photos they seem more rough than the pictures on the top and bottom. This is a creative collage and shows me a lot about the activities she enjoys and what is important to her in life.
For my museum selection I decided to attend Texas State University’s Wittliff Collection. When I arrived, there was no one else there besides me and the librarian. To be honest, I probably would have never gone to an art museum if my teacher didn’t require me to. This was my first time attending the Wittliff Collection, thus I asked the librarian, “Is there any other artwork besides Southwestern and Mexican photography?” She answered, “No, the Wittliff is known only for Southwestern and Mexican photography.” I smiled with a sense of embarrassment and continued to view the different photos. As I walked through Wittliff, I became overwhelmed with all of the different types of photography. There were so many amazing pieces that it became difficult to select which one to write about. However, I finally managed to choose three unique photography pieces by Alinka Echeverria, Geoff Winningham, and Keith Carter.

Caramelo has been quite an interesting novel. It describes a Hispanic family to the tee. Sandra Cisneros chose her title perfectly for this book. Life’s hardships and possibilities are explored throughout this fascinating novel.
The movie Sherrybaby depicts a young woman struggling to pick up her life where it left off after being released from prison. She tries to rebuild her life but encounters many obstacles along the way. She tries to rekindle the relationship with her daughter Alexis, while battling to stay clean from her heroin addiction. She also seems to have a difficult time forming relationships with people in her halfway home and using her sexuality to get her way in the work field. She is in over her head as she tries to jump right into where she left off three years ago. Despite her positive attitude, we witness the challenges she faces with low self-esteem, substance abuse, and the guilt of leaving her daughter Alexis to be raised by her brother and sister in law.
When I took my first tour of American Heritage in the eighth grade, I knew it was the school for me. It was love at first sight when I saw the darkroom, and I knew in order to become the best photographer possible, this is where I needed to spend my next four years. In addition to American Heritage’s art department, I learned of their stellar academics and realized this was the best option to become a well rounded individual. When hearing of the struggles of college students before me, I am unphased. I am confident that American Heritage’s college-prep system has readied me for a world of late night

For my critical analysis paper I went to the Evansville Museum of Arts located in Evansville, Indiana to pick a subject for my paper. I chose to review the sculpture created by the American artist Frederic Remington. This sculpture was casted by the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company in New York in the year 1895 (Evansville Museum of Arts, History, and Science). There was an object label that was next to the sculpture that gave some background information about Remington and his work. It said that Frederic was inspired by horses and accurately depicted them in mediums such as drawings, woodblock prints, painting and sculptures. His incredible sense of detail increases the drama and intensifies the power of the animal in motion.
I chose an interesting artwork; Octopus Mom, a drawing that is displayed in the CityArts Factory in Orlando. The drawing is of a woman with eight arms in the form of an octopus. Octopus Mom has objects in each one of her eight arms, these objects included a belt, duster and an infant child. The drawing is in a wooden frame and is surrounded around a room full of aquatic drawings. The Octopus Mom was in the aquatic gallery; which was one of seven galleries, this gallery included fish and mermaid portraits, a jelly fish projection and fish tanks with real fish. Octopus Mom portrays the limitless capabilities, independence and nurturing nature of mothers.
enrich and provide substantial intellectual exploration into our college curricula” (George Washington Carver). Who doesn’t love art? Every day you wake up and experience some sort of artwork; whether it’s a sculpture or just seeing something made so wonderful. Walking across the magnificent campus of Iowa State you see many pieces of art, but the one that stuck out to me was the George Washington Carver Sculpture. When first looking at it you won’t catch all of the small details behind his wonderful work. Once you know all the fine details Christian Petersen did when creating George Washington Carver and why he created it the way he did; you will enjoy it that much more.

My journey began on a calm Sunday evening when I began searching for two art sculptures to observe. I walked out of the Convocation Center where I had just finished watching the Kennesaw State versus Troy volleyball game. I walked straight across the street to find The Thinking Rock sculpture sitting directly in front of me. I walked around and observed the entire piece, finding a wasp nest resting under one of the rock's ridges. I read the plaque that explained the rock is meant for you to stop and think about who you are, why you are here, and where you are going in life. I continued walking through the Campus Green where I observed colorful flowers, swaying trees, buildings I had never seen before, and students swinging in their hammocks. I stumbled upon the KSU Owl, which had three flags flying high directly behind the sculpture. I noticed the intricate details on the owl, from its sharp claws, to its beaming eyes.

I became a student at Carmel two years ago as a freshman. Throughout those years I have changed and gone through many experiences. As my symbol, I drew a flower. At first, the flower started out as a seed. This represents my freshman year when I was just starting at Carmel and just beginning to make friends and find my way. As a sophomore, I started to branch out more and I was more comfortable at Carmel. I knew more people and was used to the routine of high school. Now, as a junior, I am starting to become more of the person I will be later in life. This year I will start to realize what I want to do with my life and where I want to be. Next year as a senior, my flower will be completely blossomed and I will leave Carmel as a different person than when I ente...
Every morning, Jessica and I would see who can get out of bed the fastest and get to the bus stop on time. We usually like to hang out a lot in school since we are in many clubs and sports. Our favorite sport is track because we like to run. If we had nothing to do in class, then we would just draw. In art class, we would get all A’s on our work. We were very creative artists. Our drawing skills were superior to the others. Jessica and I decided to try a subject that
