Assignment 1

1. Art is anything created by expression, emotion, and thought. Art is found all around us and is used in everyday life constantly. Art can be the stereotypical oil painting, photograph, or sculpture. But art can also be the unexpected such as music and film.

2. I have several favorite artists, each of them containing their own unique styles and techniques. John Singer Sargent is an American artist who was made famous by his elegant portraits. However the pieces that I have found the most interest in are his landscapes. He painted pieces that appeared to look extremely realistic. Sargent would also use thick oil paint which gave his art more texture than the average piece. Another artist that I admire Takashi Murakami, who is infamous for using outlandish  images and bold colors. He is also well known for his contribution to the fashion world when he designed for big named companies.

3. My favorite colors are purple and red.
