Book Title: You Know You Love Me
Author: Cecily von Ziegesar
Chosen piece of art:  Trinity Church, Wall Street, c.1938
Artist: Guy Carleton Wiggins
Connection: The connections between my choice of art, and my novel are they are both based in New York City. The buildings in my photo are similar to the text of my book. The dark colors reflect the characters of dark attitudes. "I know hate is a strong word and everything, but it's okay: we're teenagers." I feel like this dark, snowy, moody picture describes the rebellious teenagers. The people walking around in this picture and be a role of all the characters, with the one secret person in the middle of the crowd. "And who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell... you know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl."

Book Title: Water for Elephants
Author: Sarah Gruen
Piece of Art: Old House, East Hampton, 1917
Artist: Childe Hassam
Connection: This art piece shares the impressionism style. Just like the elder in the beginning, the artist focuses on the main idea, or purpose in life. The house I clearly pictured, but without close attention to details. The narrator enjoys fun and doesn't pay mind to little things such as his age. Each shingle of the house is portrayed by a simple pastel brush stroke, which resembles the old man's simplicity and lack of emotion towards unimportant things.

Book: The game of thrones

Author: George R.R. Martin

Art: "Hope"

Artist: Robert Indiana

Connections: This piece represents the hope of every individual character in the book "The game of thrones". The hope that shows in the structure is the same hope that gets most of the main characters such as danerys, jon, and bran. This artists, Robert Indiana, portrays Hope as well as Martin does. The red in the painting represents warmness which the characters embrace, because without it they would be driven on hate and anger. The blue in the background represents the hidden pain, hidden behind the warmness of them all. This pain is what moves them and this structure represents this feeling grandly.

Literature: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Author: J.K. Rowling
Sculpture: L'ennui
Sculptor: Hanneke Beaumont

Harry seems to understand how important he is to the Wizarding world; however, Harry does not feel special or important; instead Harry feels as if he is alone in a situation no one understands. Just like the painting: on top and noticeable, yet alone and it does not appear special in anyway. As Harry  tries to push forward he still seems to be troubled by unanswered questions; similarly,  statue seems to be looking for something. Throughout the book Harry tries not to draw attention to himself yet he is what everyone is looking upon, like the sculpture it's something you can't help but look at.

Book: Percy Jackson Novel
Author: Rick Riordan
Art: The Shore
Artist: Unknown

"The Shore" is an oil painting who was created by an unknown painter. This painting relates to the novel; because, Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon, who is the God of the sea. It also relates, because; Percy Jackson uses the ocean for help when injured.  The painting shows raging winds going to the giant rocks. You can see a bunch of detail in the painting; for example, you can see a great deal of waves crashing everywhere, which in my very own eyes look like a battlefield and the Percy Jackson novel looks like that. Percy Jackson has to go on quests to save earth, which can have a lot of action; for example, on the third book of the series Percy says bravery, " I'm going to hold sky so I can throw it at Atlas! I don't care if it weighs a ton, I have to save the world." This means that the series can relate to the painting because the painting looks like a battlefield which in the series sounds like Percy is in a battle saving the world.

Book: The Color Purple
Author: Alice Walker
Art: Elephant, 1930
Artist: Alexander Calder

The sculpture "Elephant, 1930" is very simple, yet it shows a multiplicity of meaning if you look closely enough. The first of the book is how Celie gets raped by her stepfather. In the sculpture the dad is the big red dot that holds the little white dots down. Celie, her sister, and all of the other siblings are symbolized as the little white dots that are trapped by the red one. This tells the viewer that the step dad is catastrophic for the family and Celie did the right thing trying to protect her sister from the monster. I’m not very far in the book yet but, you can tell Celie has a hard life. The sculpture is a connotation of her life. Cellie is the big red dot and all her bad parts in her life are weighing her down slowly. The step dad is just one factor that hurts Celie through life and he undermines the family, or in this case weighs them down. Maybe one day she will overcome the big red dot.

Book: Guts
Author: Gary Paulsen
Art and Artist: The poacher

Connection: In this painting, a young man with his dog looked like they were going hunting. This piece reminded me when Gary Paulsen was describing in his book the young boy that makes his living by hunting with his dog and providing food. The young boy likes to hunt by himself because he likes to enjoy the nature and peace of quiet; however, the guy in the painting looks lonely and looks like he wants to go hunting with friends or family instead of by himself. The context of the painting is showing life, nature, but the gentleman is not in life; the man is in the shade which symbolizes his sadness which contrasts to the main character of the text.

Book: Harry Potter and the half-blood prince
Author: J.K Rowling
Art and Artist: Abstract

Connections: Harry Potter is a varied series; each book has it's own theme and tone. The painting I chose represents Harry Potter because of the many different colors of different shades blending together. The novels are fast-paced and have darker undertones, just like the painting. " The wizarding community is currently under threat from an organization calling itself the Death Eaters," this example of a darker toned sentence goes with the hints of deep purple and black in the mostly light painting. If you look deeply into the multi-color blur, you can  make out symbols. In the top left corner is a shape that looks like a lightning bolt and in the middle is some circles that could be glasses. Lightning bolts and glasses are trademarks of "The Boy Who Lived," as they call him throughout the series. The mysterious look of the painting fits in with secret of Harry Potter. The hunt for "He Who Must Not Be Named" is a curiosity fort everyone, just like the painting.

Book: Divergent
Author: Veronica Ross
Art: "Something Out of Nothing"
Artist: Michael G. LaFosse
Connections: The butterflies in this piece represent the members of each faction in the book "Divergent". With Tris being one of those people, it represent each individual person being different with the different sizes and colors. Each butterfly gets to decide where it wants to go, just like the characters in the book get to decide what faction they want to proceed into.

Book:Tuesday with Morrie
Author: Mitch Albom
Art: Love
Artist: Robert Indiana

Connections: In Tuesday with Morrie the author explains Morris's life lessons.  One in the book is love. The same as the artwork by Robert Indiana. The letters stack on top of each other can represent how life can start to pile up but should not let it bother us. The O at the 45° angle can represent how life may not always be going straight and people should keep trying. In the text it states "So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep,even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to  creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." Both can give people insight on life and to look on the bright side of things.

Book: Girl Boss
Author: Sophia Amoruso
Painting: SHE (2015)
Artist: Robert Indiana

Connection: Robert Indiana's art projects the word "SHE" across the center. The main color scheme is blue, a typically boyish color. In the museum, beside this piece, was one that said "HE", with nearly the exact same look. In "Girl Boss", Sophia Amoruso really reinforces the idea that women are just as capable as men in every aspect, and that both genders are quite equal despite social constructs. The art & book both portray the idea that men and women aren't all that different, and the importance to destroy the idea that they're so different from one another.

Book: Kite Runner
Author: Khaled Hosseni
Art: Pasture by a Pond, c.1860-1870
Artist: William Morris Hunt (American, 1827-1895)
Connections: Both the painting and the book have a bright, yet dark setting. One side of both are bright-joyous, or seems to be. The other is dark and gloomy, almost depressing. The painting gives an image of a pasture while the sun is setting, and what appears to be smoke coming from the right side. In the book there is a war near the home of the main character that causes him to leave, reminiscing of the war and how dark it was, and the smoke that would have been flying. The main characters both have the joyous, yet gloomy journey. In the beginning the main characters are like brothers and best friends, but things turn dark and gloomy when one of them run a kite for the last time. The darkness in the painting really portrays the darkness in the middle of the novel that takes over the main characters life in a depressing way.

Book: Milk and Honey
Author: Rupi Kaur
Artist: Jean Alexandre Falguière
Art: Phryne
Connections: The art symbolizes a woman who is open and giving of her body without being attatched to emotion. The woman in the sculpture shows this while having her body exposed, but covering her whole face with her arm, not being able to see any of her features. In my book, Kaur, gives her body because that's what she's used to because she doesn't know how to b truly be loved. She doesn't get attatched and she doesn't have self-love/self-value.
