The reason that i really liked this painting which is done by Raphael and is called Rapahel paints wisdom, is because its a self portrait, and i also think that it is a self model of how he depicts himself. I really love the way that he makes him self seem smarter just by making a light green color for the background, putting the expression on his face, and then making his clothing all darker, it's just absolutly spectacular. I'm very fond of this because of the way that makes him self look as well and i think that is just awesome, because it takes a man full of lots of confidence to do something like Raphael does in this painting, and i think its just great.

The reason that i picked Vincent Van Gogh's flowers in holland was because i thought that the realism of this painting was absolutley incredible especially for it being a hard painted painting. The way that he puts detail into the sky and the houses and i can't forget the beautiful flower patchs full with just different colors, i think its just amazing. It almost makes me feel as if i were in holland looking into this beautiful field that mr. van gogh has put out and worked so hard on. Overall i think this is definitley one of my most favorite paintings of all time.

I couldnt find the artist name for this piece of art, but its called G-Swan. ITs done digitally and right when i saw it i fell in love it. The texture and tone and the vibrancy that you get from it by just looking at it is pretty much breathe taking. The detail is absolutly stunning and it seems almost real. I think if there is one thing that the artist could have done better is make the background more colorful but that might just take away from the essence of the art work, but overall i think that this is a beautiful piece of art work and that is why i chose it.

The reason that i chose this picture for my blog post was because i really liked the way it had so many vibrant colors and how it pretty much glows. I really think that it looks like a star and that the person who painted this did an amazing job with the the symetry and i think its very trippy personally. I think the use of all the colors was a great choice by the artist and i think that its a beautiful mixture and painting all together.

I could not find the artist for this picture or the name or any details on it, but it really caught my attenion so I decided to post it on my blog for this week. What I found really interesting about this was all the money signs that were posted all over the picture especially on the planes, helicopters, and then the smoke from the bombs because then it got me really thinking about what world war was about. To me this pictures say that money is power, which is what all the countries involved in the world war were after, so i found it to be pretty interesting. What do you think?

American Gothic 1930

Grant Wood

The reason that i choose this piece of art for my blog this week is because this is a very famous painting and i always wanted to know the meaning behind it. Then i did some research for it and i found out that there were many different opinions about it. Some would say it symbolized the hard working american couple back in this time period, some even said that it was too overrated of a painting. Personally i love it just because of the respect that the artist got just for painting it and also i love the way he gets so detailed on the painting getting down to the wrinkles on the guys hand and the lines on the wood part of the pitchfork. But overall i really liked this painting and i think that it has a lot of history and controversy behind it, but in the end that is what makes it special.

The reason that i picked this particular piece of art for my post this week was because i think that this is beautiful piece of work. And in the backgound you can clearly see 3 little girls working on it who might not be older than 3 or 4 yrs old. So the point that I am trying to get at is why is that these littles piece of work is not in a museum some where when you can find pictures as simple as little dots in famous museums
