Introducing Me

        

Hello Everyone!

I am Tiare Simbahon and I am currently a sophomore at the University of Alaska.  I am from a small southeast town called Petersburg.  Here, I have grown up all my life and have enjoyed all the adventure that comes with living in a small community where everyone is considered family.

During my time with this blog, I will be addressing all types of artwork and how pieces of art make me feel, how they are portraying emotion through events, and so much more than the art world has to offer.  Personally, I love art.  I feel very connected to the art world because it has always been something my family could do together and bond over.  I partially like painting with acrylics and watercolors.  Below are a few of the smaller, quick, and fun pieces I have done!



I also enjoy the things around us that might not always be noticed.  For example, I recently went to Washington, D.C., and was amazed by all the architecture that the buildings held.  Coming from a small town, we don't see unique features like that every day.

One type of work that I have always found interesting is modern impressionism.  I think I have always been attracted to art such as the image below because as an artist I would love to have the talent to create a scene with so much life and vibrancy.


Here is a video that shows an artist creating a piece such as the ones above!

    Bonding as a family!! I can really relate to that. My mother taught art to her 6th graders on Friday afternoons. On the weekends she would teach some of her new upcoming art projects to my brother and I. Kind of a test drive. Such fun!

Early Modern

 This week I will be exploring the arts and aesthetics of the Early Modern era.  The Early Modern era took place between 1900 and 1939.  This was a time where the world was going through many changes.  This was due to many developments and growth within subjects such as manufacturing and technologies.  This era also introduced new freedom for artists.  Artists were no longer confined to art specifically to tell a story, depict religion, or present mythical events.  On the other hand, many emotional and historically sad events took place that influenced the art at this time. One theme that influenced art heavily at this time was the Great Depression.  The Great Depression was a worldwide economic depression that took place mostly near 1930.  This was the effect of the stock market crash of October 1929.  This led to the element of strong emotion within the art.  The other elements used is color lack of.  Lack of color paired with the emotion element can easily put the mood as almost dul

Italian Renaissance

This week I will be talking about works of visual art and architecture from the Italian Renaissance.  The Italian Renaissance covered the 14th century through the 17th century.  This time period is very significant because it is known to be the transitional time from the Middle Ages to modernity. The art piece below is a very well-known work of art from this time period.  It is called the Creation of Adam .  This very famous work of art was created by a very famous and well-known Italian artist named Michelangelo.  Michelangelo "was an Italian sculptor, painter, and architect considered to be one of the most influential artists to come out of the Renaissance period." ( Stockwell, Margaux).   Michelangelo painted this piece of work between 1508 and 1512 on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, Rome. This work holds so much to uncover.  It heavily is a piece of work that presents the audience with the techniques of symbolism.  "In this fresco, God is portrayed
