Maniac+Mariah



Hi! My name is Mariah Parker. I have three brother and three sisters. This is my second semester at CMN.

what are you going to school?

**__ 10 artists __**
 * 1-31-11 class**

__[|Paul Cezanne]__- I like how in his painting of fruit look realistic and also his paintings of people. I don’t like how in the pictures of the people, the bodies don’t look exactly how the bodies of people are. __[|Marc Chagall]__- I like how the pictures have all bright colors in it and the major parts of the pictures stick out. I like how all of the things look so realistic in his paintings. [|Edgar Degas-] I like that in his paintings that the peoples shape are almost exact. I also like how I can try and interpret the paintings for myself. __[|Andre Derain]__- I like how he uses really bright colors. I don’t really like in some of his paintings that the colors don’t really go together which takes away from what the picture is supposed to portray. __[|Paul Gauguin]__- I like that in his paintings it shows cultures and some of the stuff that is in that particular culture. I think that culture is very important, which is why he stuck out in my opinion. __[|Wassily Kandinsky]__- I like in his paintings that he uses straight lines and uses bright colors. I also like that a lot of his paintings has a crazy feeling to it when you look at them which reflects me because my mind will go in all different directions at any time. __[|Paul Klee]__- I like how he uses bright colors. I also like also how he uses all different shapes in a picture but make all of those shapes come together to make one whole picture. __[|Henri Matisse]__- I like that he has a specific meaning in all of his pictures. I like that for dancing he has people holding there hands and dancing in a circle. I like the bright colors and color choices overall for eat picture. __[|Pierre Renoir]__- I like that in his pictures he portrays the olden feel which we do not see anymore with this new society. I like how the people have the shape as normal people and that you can see the olden clothes that people wore back in the day. __[|Georges Seurat]__- I like in a lot of his paintings that he has water. I, for myself, really think that water is very calming and beautiful. I like how the pictures don’t use bright colors because I think it would take away from the water and the surrounding area.

**__ 10 types of art __**

__[|Animation art]-__ I like this type of art because it makes unreal things become real. I like how they do this especially for the little kid’s movies, like the little mermaid and finding nemo. __[|Art Brut]-__ I like this type of art is very different. The things don’t exactly come together but I like that the art has dark colors because I really like dark colors. __[|Collage]-__ I like that you can put a bunch of pictures that mean a lot to you into one big picture. This can be a really good present to give to someone to give them all these nice memories that happen in your life. [|Irons (iron Painting)-]I like that you can curve them and make different shapes to make something that is nothing into something that looks pleasing to the eye. This can be used for like stairways to make a house have that nice feeling to it. __[|Religious art]-__ I like how it looks and shows stories that come from different religions and put them in painting forms. I like how for different religions there is different symbols that relate to certain people and things. I know for the Catholic religion the dove shows the Holy Spirit. __[|Tapestry Art]-__ I like this type of art because it shows all these curves and what not and put it together to make a beautiful art for a home. I like that it has an old feel to it but really makes an impact in such a small way. __[|Folk art]-__ I like this type of art because it has a culture feel to it. I like how the people and the areas have an old feel and I love old feels to things. I have grown up around it. __[|Pointillism]-__ I like that in each piece of art that the things do not come all together but show the picture in pieces. It lets your mind fill in the wholes that are in it. __[|Gardens]-__ I like this because you can put different types of plants that look good together to make a house or an area look beautiful and peaceful. I have grown up around a family that loves flowers and landscaping. __[|Furniture-]__ I like this because you can have different types. There is different types of fabric and different types of looks. I like how if your house has a old feeling that there is different types of furniture to put in it to continue the look of that.

[|Bill Miller] I pick Bill Miller as my Native American artist. He is truly an Native American artist because he shows his culture in all of his music and in all of his paintings. In all of his paintings he paints pictures of Native American people and what it means for them to be Native.


 * 2-7-2011**

For art to be Native American Art it has to have symbols, meaning, and history of Native American decent. Many people that are not Native American can not explain the many different symbols and history behind the pictures but people that are Native American can explain what the pictures are saying and know the people that are in the picture because they know their decent.
 * 1. What is Native American Art?**

I think to be a Native American Artist you have to be from the native decent. You have to have native blood in you. It can't just be anyone that may try and paint the many different symbols or try and make it look like native art because it was not drawn or made by a Native American.
