As you can see there is a little innocent boy with a flower in his hand. He is staring at something far off in the distance. One of my old friend's uncle drew the original version. This inspired me to do a replica of the exact same version. What I notice with my artwork is that I can think of something random and make it my own. I am also able to look at someone else's work and try to do the same. You can see that above, no I'm not Pablo Picasso or Andy Warhol but, I can create a piece of work. My best drawings are those of nature and portraits.Sometimes I cannot produce what I feel quality work when I'm asked. When this happens I try my best to complete it. I can draw and write poetry when I'm alone.  This helps my brain to settle on any issue I want to make aware to others. I enjoy drawing and poetry especially when my world seems to at peace. In a way I can fall back on it whenever and wherever.

Post#27 FACEBOOK :)

  Facebook: Well what can I say? This is a website that I usually go on everyday or at least every other day. Some may ask: What do you do on Facebook? First I look at recent news and scroll down to see what my friends posted. After I do that I play Family Feud. I am in competition with my friends. I do not stay on this site for no more than two hours. I update my status by adding informative news or giving my opinion on something that is on my mind. Not only do I do that I upload photos of my friends and family. I get comments and also people who like the photos. This is part of my identity because I can keep up with others as well as my social life. People post online what makes them happy or sad. The struggle that they go through encourages me to make the best out of my life. Generally Facebook is known for catching up with classmates in college, or people from your job. Sadly teens and adults cannot use it properly. They feud each other and make rudely comments. Luckily I am not that kind of person.

Post # 26 David Alfaro Siqueiros Reflection

David Alfaro Siqueiros was telling the viewer that possibly his life had it's hard times. Everyone goes through something that could eventually make them weaker or stronger. In this artwork he is showing that the young lady is devastated. You can also see that the young lady has massive hands and knuckles. David Siqueiros exaggerated her hands for a reason, she must be powerful. I also believe that this artwork shows David's strength, he must have to take matters into his own hands before. What the work of art may tell is that he was frustrated at the time he created this. He took the time out to produce this work and you can tell.

David Alfaro Siqueiros 

Misery, hurt, and pain is hidden on her face. What these man  hands don't understand is that she was the victim of the worst crime. No one can sympathize with her. One day she wishes this will be all out of sight, she wishes to fly so she won't have to cover her eyes. She longs for the happy days but it seems far away. She justifies her psychological mind pertaining the crime. We'll never know what saddens the girl who covers her eyes. 

POST # 24 London England

    Have you ever wanted to visit London England? Have you ever thought of living there? I have always wanted to live in London England. Some may ask why would you take a trip there? Well that has always been my dream to study abroad, and London is the best place for me. After I graduate from high school I want to live there and go to college at Cambridge. I also have a pen-pal there, her name is Laura. She told me all about her life and the main attractions. I am curious about the culture and night life, it seems like an exciting place to visit.

     This imaginary island is called Retina. Melanie watches the sun set over this beautiful island. Melanie begins to think about all the memories she created. In Retina she can surf the waters, go fishing, and dance on the shore lines. Her tribe named MasoMaso praises their God for the island he has given them. Life could have never been better as they are able to hunt, gather, and store food easily. Fresh fruit and water provides them with energy. The MasoMaso tribe restores self confidence in others as their method of encouragement. This  brings peace to the body. MasoMaso have celebrations in which there is an abundance of crops and shells. MasoMaso is the place to discover and find yourself in the midst of palm trees and a glorious sunset.

The performance I have decided to research is Alison Knowles. She has worked with Marcel Duchamp and performed with a fluxus group in Europe, Asia, and the United States. Alison Knowles produced a eight foot long book that allowed the reader/spectator to go inside the book. She is an interesting artist who has traveled around the world. Here is some of her work...
 she also makes books, poems, and visual artworks. Alison Knowles has been part of fluxus since the 1960s.
