A website that i normally visit is YouTube.That is a website for music and videos. When I go to this website I normally think of a song and I type it in and I will listen to it. I could listne to music all day if i could. Music is what keeps me sane and its one of my many loves. I need music to calm me down from anything and everything. It is what I use as a "safe place to hide" type of thing. When i listen to music everything goes away and its just me and I love that about music. it is apart of my identity because music is always around me. Outside of school there is never a moment when I do not have music in my ear. I even listen to it when I fall asleep.

I think the artist of this painting was trying to express his inner feeling, explain his/her life, and just entertain people with its beauty. I believe this artists' inner feeling was a sense of repitition. The artwork shows the same thing over and over again and maybe that means the person who created this feels like things are going in circles. I also believe this is explaining the persons life. Since it is the same thing again and again this could mean the artist has a repitition of events in his or her life. Finally, I believe the artist simply wanted to entertain viewers. This is a beautiful artwork and everyone is entertained by it. I think the artist is great for creating this piece.

THIS LIFE
this little life of mine
how it seems to repeat itself
theres not many ways around it
what to do?
Only thing to do is live it
live it to the fullest
nothing can get in the way
because another day..is not really guarenteed.

I would love to live under water! To me the water just feels like a peaceful place. I have been swimming and playing polo for 6 years and the water has become a necessity in my life. In the water every issue outside goes away. The water is the place where I find sanctuary. It is also so beautiful. The colors are vibrant and lively. Though my only problem would be breathing. I plant to one day grow gills and I will live underwater.

While creating my portrait I was able to feel artistic. During the project I had to grid out the paper. Next I had to sketch out what was in my picture. Once I did that I was able to paint in all the values. This was a very fun thing to do because I know that all artist do this and I was able to learn it all first hand.

This is a picture from Carrie Mae Weems. I can relate to this because I as an individual love to dance freely like this. This woman is dancing and no one is around to see her. I enjoy doing this because it allows me to express myself without judgement or laughter. This is the only way I would be able to dance in front of people.

The artist I chose is Laura Owens. I chose her because her artwork looks very peaceful and calm. With all the chaos that goes on in the world, her work makes me smile and think of being in another world where things are happy and lovely. This artwork of hers makes it seem like the viewer is looking out a window and seeing the land. The beautiful mountains are in the far distance and the water and the sun rise or sun set gives it a nice pretty glow. Laura Owens was born in Euclid, Ohio, in 1970. She is still living today.
