Painting for art critique

The picture looks like, from the background, a bedroom. It has a bed and I guess a nightstand beside the bed. On the bed are a red cover and a dead guy in a suit holding a gun in his right hand. On the wall over the bed is a painting, that looks like is of a guy. And there is carpet on the floor under the dead guy’s feet. It looks like to me that the guy shot himself in the chest, I’m guessing, after a party or a wedding that didn’t go according to plain. I don’t understand why someone would paint a picture of a guy that committed suicide.    

Melodrama

A melodrama refers to a dramatic work which exaggerates plot and characters in order to appeal to the emotions.  It may also refer to the genre which includes such works, or to language, behavior, or events which resemble them.used in scholarly and historical musical contexts to refer to dramas of the 18th and 19th centuries in which orchestral music or song was used to accompany the action.The term originated from the early 19th-century French word mélodrame, which in turn is derived from Greek melos (music) and French drame (drama).

Spring Break

What I did over spring break was go to the doctor to take a test to see if I am a diabetic, I had to drink this drink that was only sugar and then wait an hour so they could take my blood,   I had the stomach virus for about 4 days rite after the doctor visit, went shopping with my family for baby stuff, hung out with my sister at her house playing the wii and got my mom to play the wii with us, helped my sister and her kids  move to her new house, me, my cousin, and my mom hung out almost all spring break, I painted a bookshelf green and blue with my cousin we both ended up wearing the paint instead of painting the bookshelf because of the wind, and I walk almost everywhere I went over spring break with my cousin, mom, sister, brother, and my boyfriend.

comparison

the first piece looks like the guy is eating a little naked man. the guy looks like he is either liveing in a cave or underground, hes dirty, boney. this work is composed of no color. the overall mood of this piece is sad and dark. i don't really like this piece because its wierd.

the other piece looks like a dead guy in a bath tub who was wrighting a letter. the piece is composed of line and shape. the overall mood of this piece is sad and drak like the first piece. this piece is better than the first piece but i don't think you should paint a dead guy.

the frist picece i think is Romanticismwhy i think this is because the frist piece looks like its a legend, you can see the brushstrokes, and its exotica.
and the other piece is Neoclassicism because it has no trace of brushstrokes, calm, and its stressed drawing with lines.

artist and the name of the pictures used in the slideshow
1)delaroc By J.L David
2)insane By Theodore Gericault
3)white horseBy Theodore Gericault
4)the crowing  by J.L David
5)Steen The Morning Toilet by Theodore Gericault
6)SuperStock by J.L David

We picked these pictures because they best illustrate what we picked to use in the slideshow. We picked to use values: order Vs. emotion, tone: calm Vs. spontaneous, techinque: not color Vs. rich color. We also picked the music because it went with the slideshow the best out of all the other music that we had to picke from. We picked the mariage of figaro-overture by Mozart. I would say that i'm not a big fan of either Neoclassicism or Romantic but that i like both the Neoclassicism and Romantic the same.

Right brain vs. left brain

Left Brain	Right Brain
47%	53%

You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

yes i agree with the  results of the test.
'right brained' means the right side of your brain controls the left side .
'left brained' means the left side of your brain controls the right side.
what i think of the test and its accuracy is that you really won't know if your one or the other just by takeing a test.

Mozart's death

Mozart fell ill while in Prague for the premiere on 6 September of his opera La clemenza di Tito, written in 1791 on commission for the Emperor's coronation festivities. He was able to continue his professional functions for some time, and conducted the premiere of The Magic Flute on 30 September. The illness intensified on 20 November, at which point Mozart became bedridden, suffering from swelling, pain, and vomiting.Mozart was nursed in his final illness by Constanze and her youngest sister Sophie, and attended by the family doctor, Thomas Franz Closset. It is clear that he was mentally occupied with the task of finishing his Requiem. However, the evidence that he actually dictated passages to his student Süssmayr is very slim. Mozart died at 1 am on 5 December 1791 at age 35. he was buried in a common grave, in accordance with contemporary Viennese custom.

Modern Era of Art

The modern era, describes the historical timeline after the Middle Ages. Modern history can be further broken down into the early modern period and the late modern period. Contemporary history describes the span of historic events that are immediately relevant to the present time.The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. It extends roughly from 1860s to the 1970s. It began with the painters Vicent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanna, Pual Gauguin, and  Georges Seurat.

Extended weekend

Music, art, theater, and dance affected my extended weekend. My mom was playing her music all weekend loud and over and over. I painted and did crafts with 8 little kids almost every day this weekend. My mom made me sit down and watch a really old theater on DVD. And dance affected my weekend because my cousin had her son, and he has a head full of hair. My sister’s son calls him Jacky Chan, because his hair is black and all over the place.
