Out of my three pictures that I have chosen for this blog, my first is of this little chipmunk container. The emotion I get from it is a slight calm, yet worried and secretive feeling from just the look upon the little critter's face. The comparison between this piece and Albrecht Durer is a lot of his work has mainly animals in it. I couldn't really find an animal around and not wanting to get a dog, which everyone probably would, or a bird that would be really hard to get, I simply used a little jewlery box of a chipmunk and with the amazing wonders of the computer, you can't really tell.

I love how this one came out and how it lo

oks like someone sketched the piece out. It almost seems as if it was meant to looks this way. The emotion I wanted someone to feel was love, romance, peace, anything in those categories. These birds could be reflecting dance as well because of the way they are positioned, since they are holding onto one another, they could be connecting to one of Edgar Degas' pieces. Along with them being birds, animals, it could be Albrecht Durer's as well. 

I wanted a picture to connect to Edgar Degas and so I remembered not far back I took a picture of my friends and I each dancing around the flag pole. Most of Edgar Degas' work is of the girls in the dance studio and that's how mine reflects with his. The emotion I receive from this piece is outgoing, anything that's really out there and also free spirited. I really enjoyed posing for this picture because I just kept spinning around the pole and had a blast that day as well.

Finally, the wrap this blog up, to answer the Salina Trip question. I really enjoyed my visit to the Art Center. It was an experiance I'll never forget and will always treasure. I loved seeing all the new ways to express my mind through art. My favorite artist was Amy with the burned books under the brain in the cage. That had to be my favorite part of the lecture. The movie and the food was awesome as well.
