Something I saw this week that really caught my eye was a newsletter I read abut how if you are ever approached by a service dog that means that their owner is in danger and needs immediate assistance. It really caught my attention because I never would have guessed that to be the issue of seeing a service dog just wondering around. The article also had a picture of a service dog with a vest on. The colors of the vest were bright blue and red, those colors are important because it means they are not just a pet, but on duty. It's good to be aware of this type of incident because it could really save someone's life.

Something I saw this week that was someone else's culture was the unfortunate event of the Notre Dame Cathedral burning. It is someone else's culture because I do not go to church, but although I don't it was still a sad day in history. To see such beauty, filled with history and art be destroyed was disheartening. Also, to see millions of people devastated about it, just shows how important it is to society.

The person that I think has a strong personality is Serena Williams. She has a strong personality and in turn uses her platform to promote things that are unjust in society. She uses her voice to speak on issues like equality amongst men and women. Recently her and a brand that sponsors her, "Nike" just did a commercial about equality, taking chances, and standing up for what you believe in. She knows that people are always watching her and listening to what she has to say and she uses that to her advantage. She understands her social responsibilty to speak her mind on taboo topic

So, I haven't fully decided on my theme for the final project. But I have chose one artwork that I think has some importance and I think is really interesting. I chose "Lion Club" from metmuseum.com. It is made out of quartz and is from the early Dynasty One, approximately 3100-2900 B.C. It's important because it was made during the time that the process of integrating lower and upper Egypt into one state. This is the time that artists in Egypt started learning how to sculpt in hard stone. Times were definitely changing in Egypt, and there was art being made in a new way.

Gallery, 2. A. (2014, October 02). Love - PALETTE KNIFE Figure Oil Painting On Canvas By Leonid Afremov - Size: 24" x 36" (60cm x 90cm) Painting by Leonid Afremov (Belarus) | Artmajeur.

One immediate broad theme that comes o mind is the topic of love. It is really broad, the definition of love varies from person to person. I think that it's really interesting because everyone views love differently and is affected by it differently. No one case is ever the same. Another theme that is really interesting to me is good versus evil. There are plenty examples and books that cover this theme. I think that this theme creates the most suspense.

I really enjoy using DailyMail as a platform to catch up on any news and events. They cover so much information and news and they always keep it interesting. They use different headlines, videos, and pictures. My favorite thing is they cover so many different type of news that goes on. Political, social, star related, and they combine them all onto one easy to read platform.

Dexter (season 3). (2019, February 18). Retrieved March 2, 2019, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_(season_3)

I've recently have been watching "Dexter" on Netflix. I know, I know, a little behind on the trend of the show. I've watched the whole show and what I really like about it is how the entire series never slows down. There is always something keeping you on your toes. Something I don't particularly like about it is the acting, it's not the best but the show is very good. Another thing I really enjoy about the show is the theme of it. Dexter kills people because he feels like he was born to do so. But he doesn't kill just anyone, he only kills people who "deserve" it.

Hokusai, K. (1830-32). The Great Wave [Polychrome woodblock print; ink and color on paper].            H. O. Havemeyer Collection, Bequest of Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer, 1929.  Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1760–1849 Tokyo. Retrieved from https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/JP1847/ (2019).
The artist of this piece is Katsushika Hokusai, who was born in 1760, and died in 1849. The medium of his artwork is Polychrome woodblock print; ink and color on paper. It is something I plan on discussing when I compare and contrast. I also plan on comparing and contrasting the artists intended perspective on each work. According to metmuseum.org he  became famous for his landscapes created using a palette of indigo and imported Prussian blue. This particular piece is of waves of varying shades of blues, whites, grays, and greens.

Kōrin, O. (1704-09). Rough Waves. [Two-panel folding screen; ink, color, and gold leaf on paper]. Edo period (1615–1868). Retrieved from

https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/26.117/ (2019).
The artist of this work is Ogata Kōrin, he is Japanese and was born in 1658 and died in 1716. I can't exactly find where he went to school or anything of that nature. But he is commonly known for  Chinese technique of drawing with two brushes held together in one hand. The medium of this piece is two-panel folding screen; ink, color, and gold leaf on paper. I also plan to compare and contrast the medium of this piece with the other artworks medium. That's what's making these pieces unique; their mediums. The subject matter of this work is crashing waves, but instead of them being sky blue they are brown, shaded, and have shadows.

I decided to choose this picture from this weeks lesson plan. I love it, I love the controversy behind it. I love all of the arguing that it caused. I like that he's going past boundaries and doesn't care what people think about him standing up for what he believes in.

Hellenistic, 1st century B.C. Italic
Garnet Ring Stone.
This week I decided to write and analyze a stone, which is still art. What is carved on this is Eros walking carrying off weapons of Herakles, lions skin, and the quiver. I think this was carved because Eros won, and it was in celebration.

Jones, Robert 1769, The Hunting and Fishing Scene.
In this photo it really represents the height of the English textile printing during the 18th century. I like how the photo has a lot of trees, plants, and shrubs. The spots of red though make the printing interesting. The photo really displays how women in the 18th century dressed. The printing itself is long and skinny. The past time of fishing was a prominent thing.

Hokusai, K 1829, The Great Wave of Kanagawa
So I have written about Hokusai's The Great Wave before.. and I still find myself really loving and admiring it every time I come across it. This week I was able to watch a video on how "The Great Wave" was created. I really like Japanese art. The image is actually a carving on wood. Hokusai comes from a traditional background and he wanted to convey traditions and originality with this piece.

This image was my favorite. I liked this one the most because of how colorful it is. But I LOVE the color pink and these pinks are just beautiful. The tone of the picture is light.

The Art Association of Harrisburg Thomas, A. (2017).

This was my favorite piece of art from the museum. It is to be considered "modern art" and that's part of the reason it is my favorite. What stands out to me the most is her yellow bandana and her rainbow lollipop. She looks really at peace. This just stood out to me because she's a younger girl.

Hokusai, K 1829, The Great Wave of Kanagawa
Of all the images this week I decided to choose this one. I thought this one was simple yet beautiful. It doesn't use every color from the rainbow, but there is an array of greens, blues, tans, whites, and grays. I think this picture shows two sides of nature, you can see the obvious waves. But there is also what looks like to be a mountain in the background.
