    Hello everyone, My name is Taylor Lewis! I am originally from Boston Massachusetts, but I have been living in Alaska for almost 11 years. I am currently going to school for Primary Education, I am a Junior this year. I am thinking about also going for a criminal justice degree as well but that just depends if I want to do more schooling! A fun fact about me is that I am a twin. I have a twin brother named Brandon, and to say he is the best brother in the world would be an understatement. I am also a military brat. I have lived in Oklahoma, Germany, Boston, and then here in Alaska.

    This a piece of art that I find appealing. This piece was created by J. M. W. Turner, and was created by using watercolor. This piece is called The Red Rigi. The link above will give you more information on this piece.

    Art has always been a part of my life. My grandpa used to do sculptures in his garage every other weekend. This ranged from wood craving and even some pottery. I would go over once in a while to learn the basics about this. My dad also does art here and there. He taught me about drawing and painting. This led me to really enjoy painting. My favorite type of painting is watercolor and I love painting flowers. I do not currently attend First Fridays but I would love to if the chance comes up.

    Taylor,

    I have twin sisters they always pull shenanigans, its all fun and games though. It's interesting to hear you are thinking about criminal justice. I was an early childhood education major then switched to justice and it was the best choice I made because I love studying justice! If you like reading about the criminal realm then try it! There's no harm in testing it out.

    The art piece you picked is really nice, it has a presence, like I can almost picture being there.
    Best, Ava

    Great art pick Taylor!

    Watercolor artwork has always transported me to the exact location interpreted in the painting. I find your upbringing with Art very fascinating. It seems as though the practice of Art isn't really broadcasted on a wide spectrum, so to hear that you're Grandpa continued to hone his craft is refreshing.

Post Modern Art

  Diversity is important in Post Modern Art  Post modern art era is a very unique style compared to all of the other eras. Postmodern art does not follow the modern style approach. It does not follow the traditional ways. The artists that create post modern art want the viewer to acknowledge the traditional meaning of an object that's being created, but they also want to show that it might not actually represent that meaning. They want to show that not everything is related to its traditional meaning. They want the viewers to look at their art with a different perspective. They want the viewers to look at it with a deconstructing notion. Post modern is a style that wants to change the way you think about culture philosophy, and art. Post modern art also uses a vast variety of material that would be unheard of in the different art eras. Diversity in art is such an important thing to have. It allows for the artist to be fully creative when creating a piece of art. Whether it is from

                                                                                                   Art Analysis Blog       There are so many different types of visual art everywhere you look. Painting, sculptures, and even architecture are all types of visual art. The visual art that I have chosen is done by Leonid Afremov. This piece of art below is called ‘ Rain’s Rustle II’ . This stunning painting uses oil paint to create the warm and cool tones seen on the tree and on the ground. He is known for making his work seem ‘wet’.      There is a lot of fine detail that just makes this paint have a lot of emotions in it. The warm colors make the painting seem inviting or happy. You can tell that the couple walking is happy or content even when it is raining. The cool tones allow for the painting to have that depth look to it. These tones allow for this piece to seem like you could walk right in it.            In high school, I did my best attempt at recreating this piece. Pieces that are
