Why I Love Art?





"Art is the desire of man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in," (Amy Lowell).  For me art is a hobby even if I do not this occasionally. I usually do this once in a blue moon. I grew up drawing cars and looking at my brothers drawings. Honestly, my drawing skills are not that good. I will say that my drawing is decent. Art is love, art is life.

Art is not just about what you draw or paint but sometimes its good to know important people involved.     It does not have to be the most important people but the people that the art work that one is interested in. For example, Diego Rivera and Leonardo Da Vinci are two artist that I find their work to be interesting. Diego Rivera was born in December 8, 1886, in Guanajuato, Mexico. Most of his paintings express his thoughts of society and people. A painting that I found interesting are "Dream of a Sunday afternoon in Alameda Park" 

                                                 
This drawing represents Mexico's rich history. From left to right, it is The Conquest, The Porfiriato Dictatorship, and The Revolution of 1910. Also this drawing of Diego Rivera, he includes himself as a little kid in the middle with " La Calavera Caterina".  Leonardo Da Vinci was born in April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy. He is a scientist, mathematician, engeneer, inventor, and painter. For this reasons, he is also known as "The Renaissance Man". I like his art work, such as of his projects of inventions and his code that he used in his book, where he kept all his projects. One of his art work that I like is his sketches of his studies on flowers. Like this sketch of his because I like drawing flowers. Flowers to me are beautiful. Even if it looks simple to draw, Leonardo Da Vinci makes it complex.

     When I draw, I don't have expensive materials. I used basic materials. Materials that just make me continue to draw. The material I use are a pencil, a sketch book, a pen, and some reference pictures. I'm not sure if it is me but sometimes I have to use a specific kind of pencil or pen. It makes me more comfortable to draw or sketch. I use reference pictures to get mind thinking to get better ideas on the paper. It does not have to be pictures that motivate me to draw but the pictures can be the main topic or the main focus that I'm drawing. It even helps if, one is creative. I think that I'm not creative. I don;y like my drawings to include to many ideas because sometimes I feel that it is going to mess up but thats just me. It's good to practice because it helps improve one's drawing.


     Art is my favorite activity because it helps me relief stress, express my thoughts, and feelings. In other words, art has benefits. Most of drawings have feelings and thoughts that I express into my paper.  So, most of my drawings have a message that I try to convey. This helps me relief the stress I have. Something that also helps me relief stress while drawing, is listening to music. At the end, I feel relaxed and I feel better. 



Overall, Art is my favorite activity.  Art will always continue to be part of my life. I will draw till I die but I'm not thinking about having a major in art. Instead, art or drawing will continue to be a hobby.  Thank you for having time to read or skim through my post.

Every time I meet someone.


Hello! My name is Jesus and these photos show my first impressions of when I meet someone. Every time I meet someone, I feel uncomfortable and shy. I think that is how it goes for everyone else. Honestly, I get to comfortable to when I meet someone. I start feeling okay, when I'm around that person. Also, I laugh too much. I say corny jokes and other corny statements.

The pc back than and now.





The first pc, were used to run programs and do mathematical equations. As the years went by pc was being developed to be more advance and modern. So, the screen was bigger and the way it look was made to be more useful. At first it was the pc and later on, another version of a pc developed and was the laptop. This technology is used now for video games and the same purposes as before. There are websites, where people run their businesses, and for other jobs. This has advanced into other types of computers, that are portable and light weight.

Michael Browns Pictures Influence

Before I get started, I want to say R.I.P. Michael Brown. I do not know much about this case or situation. I do remember last year, the impact it made in social networks, the news, communities that were informed, and my school. I remember,  I will be on Facebook and I saw a lot of posts about how Michael Brown being shot was injustice.  I saw videos, posts, and pictures about this case.  The pictures I saw, supported the fact that this act was injustice. Social media acted as a way to influence the audience that the act was injustice. To me, it acted like a form of propaganda that influenced the audience on the side that they are on. Most of these pictures were pictures that were shared by many people from pictures that were taken by news paper companies and people that were at the scene. Also people who were also in a event where people protest for justice for Michael Brown.  Overall, the photos act as way to influence that Michael Brown being shot was injustice in the social medias.

Why I draw?

   My favorite activity is drawing. Drawing is a way for me to express my feelings into a paper and it allows me to relief stress. In most of my drawings, I am able to visualize a picture in my head. In other words, most of my drawings represent a memorable moment. A moment where it has became important to me. Not all of my drawings have a memorable moment but can also have a meaning. Their are symbols or the drawing itself is a symbol. This can symbolize a moment or a feeling that I was expressing to the paper. Some of the things that I have drawn are hearts, cars, cartoon characters, and other things that come to my mind.                                                                                                                              
    I draw when I have time to and when I do, I spent like two hours drawing. I know many friends and I follow people on social networks that know how to draw better than me. Then their are those who are novice and sometimes they don't have the right materials. I know for sure that, one has to have the right materials to draw and also the time to draw. If a person does not know what draw then the person has to be motivated to draw.


   I may not be good as others but I get inspired by my brother and other art work. My older brother inspired me because he will draw for hours and I will get amazed on how it looks. That inspired me and motivated me to draw. Also, work from artist from the Renaissance era inspired me to draw because their work is amazing to me. Work from Leonardo Da Vinci, inspired because his drawings are beyond from what I have seen.
