Homework for 9/23/2011

This picture is a harbor.  It is very peaceful, beautiful, and unclear(due to its blurriness).  This picture reminds me of a place that I used to visit as child(8 yrs. old), around the Junction CIty Dam.  In the close shot, I used to go fishing with one of my mother's friends from her church.  At the beach part, people were swimming, and I would go into the shallow part and go lay in the water. It reminds me of the fun and quiet times in my childhood.  It is very abstract because it doesn't show many specific details nor does it focus on anything.  It does however, cause me to reflect on my childhood days.  THe good parts of course.

Frida Kahlo is a unique artist who has inspired and continues to inspire her admirerers with her work.  In this painting listed above, there are many things, phases, and issues that have and continued to go on her life.  From her inability to have a child, and her family members' disapproval of her lifestyle, she continued her work.  In this painting you see the many things that tormented her in her life.  The blood that is flowing from her-possibly from her vagina( the most intimate part of a woman, the blood represents her life and the tenicles coming from her stomach.  She is bearing her soul through her art.
