My right brain, my left brain



The right brain is visual, intuitive and creative. While the left brain is verbal, analytical and plain.

My Poetry



I wrote this for one of my friends after he took his own life two years ago.

Untitled

I don't know why you left us,
and I probably never will.
I love and miss you so much,
and I know you're in my heart still.
I wish you could have talked to me,
and of taking your life you should have asked.
Maybe I could have reasoned with you,
maybe I could have made your life last.
You were so young and funny,
and your spirit was so free.
Your laugh, your smile, the way you made me feel,
you mean so much to me.
But you've gone to a better home now,
there is no sorrow or tears.
I know I'll get to see you one day,
I just miss you but "no fears".

The Beautiful Struggle


My FavoritE ArtisT



This is Kenny Chesney. He has to be my favorite artist because of the way he sings and puts his feelings into his music. He has a way of making his songs carefree and full of life. They take you to another time and place with no worries. They help you forget about the difficulties in life if even for a moment. You just want to get lost in his words and music. HIs words let you know to not take life for granted and appreciate the little things in life before thay blink away.






Don't Blink

just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you

Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

Don't blink

just might miss your babies growin' like mine did

Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half

of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead

Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think

So don't blink

So I've been tryin' to slow it down

I've been tryin' to take it in

In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't Blink

just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and ya'

Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

Don't Blinkjust might miss your babies growin' like mine did

Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half

of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead

Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think

So Don't Blink

No, don't blink

don't blink

life goes faster than you thinks

o don't blink

don't blink

life goes father then you think

don't blink

life goes faster then you think.

ThE ArT of ThiS CulturE




Egyptian Art~


The art of this culture, like many others, tells us their story. When we think of Egyptians we think of mysterious people with built huge pyramids and were obsessed with cats. However, if you look closely at the art they created in that time, it will reveal things about their culture. They tell us of a land which was so organized that they were able to pile up these gigantic mounds in the lifetime of a single king, and they tell us of kings who were so rich and powerful that they could force thousands and thousands of slaves to build for them, to quarry the stones, to drag them to where it was to be built at, and to shift them precisely so the tomb was ready for the king. No other culture would have went through so much just to please their king. To the Egyptains there king was their God. He came from the heavens when he was born and returned their after his death. The pyramids were meant to help him to return. He had complete power over them and swayed them to do his will.








Art And The Human Nature




Human nature is a human beings way of thinking. They way they react naturally and their instincts. Their characteristics determine this. These things all human beings have in common.


Human nature is the base makeup of a human being.

High Museum Visit



This is me at the High Museum in line for the general admission tickets. I went along with my boyfriend Chris and had a great time. The most meaningful thing about the trip to me was the whole experience in general. I had not been to many museums before, and never to the High Museum. I’m glad I got to experience new kinds of art with my boyfriend. I had a great time and I would definitely go again. I really enjoyed the ENTIRE skyway level of the Stent Family Wing. I love folk art and Howard Finster’s art moved me. His passion for the Lord and a cleaner and better environment appealed to me, because I have many of the same passions.
o My favorite work of art would be the ‘Rinaldo and Armida’ by Francois Boucher. It was a beautiful and colorful depiction of an unsuspected love.
o The work of art I liked but I would not take home would be ‘The Winged Genius’. The Roman statue made of marble was wonderful, but it was a little too exposed to be taken home and sit in the living room.
o The ‘Lady of Auxerre’ taught me something I did not know. It used to be a colorfully painted small statue. Now it stands blanched and faded with part of the face deteriorated.
o ‘Christ Carrying the Cross’ was a very sad painting. It showed the hurt that he goes through to see that even though he tries to save us, we choose not to follow Him. It is intensely dramatic showing the pain He feels in His eyes.
o ‘Victory at St. Gothard’ showed a historic moment in time. This pricless was one of many created for King Louis XIV. It represents the victory of the King over the Turks at St. Gothard.
o The English ceramics reminded me of someone I know. My Yaya Penny, (that is what I call my Great-Grandmother) has many English and Chinese ceramics at her home in Pennsylvania. She is very old and can barely remember my name but I always remember all the the porcelain pots, dishes, trays and dishes she kept on display in a wooden cabinet like the English Ceramics display at the museum.
o The work of art that I think shocked me the most was the painting of ‘The Funeral of Atala’. The beauty shocked me the most and that it had started the basis of the story we now as “Romeo and Juliet”. I did not realize that “Romeo and Juliet” was formed so many years ago. The Folk art gallery and the Contemporary art gallery were completely different from one another in my opinion. The Contemporary gallery was very modern and at times abstract. It does not usually have a certain message. It is based on your depiction and view of what the art may reveal. In its at times simplicity it gives you a chance to make your own interpretation to define itself. The Folk art gallery on the contrary could not have been more different. Every work of art had a message or a story to tell. It could have an anti-war, carefree, and thrive in life message. It tries to get you to see things adversely and recognize the beauty in simple things.
