The Woman with Angel Art

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

There’s nothing I enjoy more than entering into an absolutely new situation and sitting for a talk with a stranger. I find that strangers swiftly become pals after a bit of time spent together and some good questions asked.

So I adore it when my job needs me to go with the only point of meeting somebody in a plan to write a tale about them. Lately my job granted me the amazing privilege of going to Italy with the point of meeting a special girl, Gretta, and spending 4 days with her in her villa outside of Florence. The very first thing I spotted on entering Gretta’s villa was her love of angel art.

I presumed it was bizarre that Gretta loved angel art. I truthfully hadn’t met anybody that selected to brighten their home in such a manner. It was not the angel art was tacky in any way, as I kind of expected angel art to be. Instead, I was surprised the angel art was basically quite stunning and quite fitting in that setting.

Gretta, being the fantastic Italian woman that she is maintained that we sit down for a tumbler of wine before touring her villa. Over this first cup of wine I became sure that Gretta and I actually would become mates. I was definite of this because I loved her Italian accent making out English words and I liked the straightforward way she answered my questions and asked me some of her very own.

When I guessed that we were virtually prepared to start our tour, I started to ask Gretta about her choice of angel art and I questioned why precisely she chose to embellish in that way. I liked the way Gretta’s eyes lit up as I asked her about angel art, as if I had asked her about her first love. She right away got up from the table and led me around from room to room in her villa, giving me great details about every piece of angel art. It was clear she had always loved angels and so thus she decorated her home in that way because it seemed natural to do so. She suspected the angel art was symbolic of the incontrovertible fact that real angels were safeguarding her home, and all the guests that arrived there. I was blessed to be protected by Gretta’s special angels. I had the most wonderful 4 day visit with Gretta. I learned more about angel art than I ever bargained for, but I was thankful. I learned a lot, but just as importantly, I made a new mate.

I’ve Learned to Love Teen Art

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

I have loved art for as long as I can remember. As a kid I spent hours doing art projects of all sorts with my mother and my brothers. We did painting, practice stitching or create things out of clay for hours on end.

I never knew that the quantity of art projects we worked on was unusual till I got a bit older and heard all of my buddies in college talking about their years of playing with Lorries and action figures, or being outside building forts. I assume our mommy wanted us to be comprehensive people so she started us on all things art from the start. I do not remember precisely what sort of teenager art I made during my formative years, but I know that it was not till fairly recently that I learned to understand teenager art. To the surprise of nobody that I knew, I determined to become a skill teacher when I went to varsity.

I loved art so much that I could not think about an easier way to spend my time than on teaching youngsters and youths more on the things I loved. I loved their curiosity and I loved how they saw art. It was actually the teenager art that my junior high aged scholars were making that took me some time to adjust to.

The thing about teenage art is that it is less than conventional and regularly it must be classified outside of any established genres of art. The teenagers in my art classes saw art in a much different way than I predicted, and thus their work was much different too.

I might give them an assignment and they’d create work so different what I had asked for and yet so creative that I could not judge. I have noticed that teenager art should be a genus of art all on its own. Why? I have determined that teenager art is so unique thanks to the time of life that it represents. Youths are going thru the final time of transition, so it is sensible that their art would have a specific point of view and slant. And as different as teenager art can regularly be, I have been taught to understand it. I’ve learned to follow it through the eyes of a teen exploring the world and attempting to make sense of their place in the world.

If you’ve a teen who likes to mess around with any art form, then you know precisely what I am talking about with teenage art. In fact, you have likely had similar issues in making an attempt to recognize, outline or categorize the art work that appears to make your teenager come alive. My recommendation to you is this: teenage art is something totally of its own kind. Stop making an attempt to make teenage art into something else, and instead just like it for what it is.

I Love To Collect African Art

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I adore venturing around the globe and studying about other cultures. A huge part of me comes alive when I am in another culture. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always been fascinated with the faces of folks from other bits of the world and I have been curious by the way others’ live life. Photography appeared to be the right profession for me as it enables me to travel across the world and get paid, literally, to see folk and cultures and things. I also love picking up special things from other continents and countries that I visit.

I may admit that initially, African art looked a touch too unusual for my liking. It was not generally in my color range and I could not see it fitting into the home I had made back in Vermont. So on many of my first journeys to Africa, I came back home without any African art. If you are thinking that it is unusual for an artist to pass on any opportunity to collect art, I concur with you now, but I haven’t always.

I learned to like and collect African art when I took my 2 children with me to Africa on my recent photo shoot project there. It definitely was a busy 3 week trip in which we’d be making our way thru 6 different nations. I did not anticipate finding much time for shopping, but my girls kept insisting on it and so I often landed up in the oldest fashioned markets, meeting stall owners and finding more shots for my photography project than I ever imagined to. I had given each of my children a defined amount of spending cash before we ever arrived in Africa, and they’d got that amount gone in the first 2 markets we enjoyed.

I learned to like African art thru the eyes of my girls. They were tickled and charmed by the art more than I had predicted they’d be. Watching them pick up new items and love their look, I too started to love having a look at African art. I made a decision that I would have liked to forego my desire to have everything matching in my home in order that I could collect important art work from Africa, the continent I had grown to like. If you come into my home today you can barely walk thru a room without seeing the imprint of Africa somewhere.

That is because African art graces pretty much every room that I spend a little time in. I’ve had a metamorphosis: I went from being someone that practically ignored the fantastic thing about African art to being someone that’s enthralled with its beauty.
