Free Post: My Inspiration
I used my Free Post to express my feelings for the love of my life: My Daddy! He is the definition of a M A N. Although we have our issues like any other family I would never change it for anything in this world. He does so much and beyond for his family even when he feels that the "universe" is on his shoulders he continues to persevere and handle any and everything thrown at him. He does more for me and my siblings than we probably deserve. He makes me want to be better person and strive for nothing less than the best. He is my reason for staying strong just when I feel like I can not go any more. He is my world, my heart. Jc Carter is my EVERYTHING. One day I will be able to do for him as much as he has done for me.
High Museum: Response
1.Your favorite work of art. What? Why?
Chaunecy Bradley Ives American 1810-1894. Undine Risisng from the Water 1880-1882 Marble. This was my favorite work of art because it was so beautiful and realistic, the details and veiling was so natural and real.
2.A work of art that you liked but would not take home. What? Why?
Giovanni Minelli Italian 1440-1528. St. Sebastian 1485-1490 Terracotta. This particular work of art endured pain and suffering for being accused of being a Christian and converting others. He was condemned to be killed with arrows and shot countless times.
3.A work of art that taught you something that you did nit know. What?
Hale Woodruff American 1900-1980. Results of Poor Housing 1941-1943. African American artist and teacher Woodruff served on the faculty of Atlanta University from 1931-1945. In 1936 he traveled to Mexico to study mural painting with Diego Rivera. Deeply influenced by Rivera’s social realism, which celebrated the lives and struggles of everyday people, Woodruff returned to America a committed muralist.
4.A work of art that felt sad to you. What? Why?
Carlton Garrett American 1900-1992. Church Revival 1950-1960. This work of art has a sadness that you feel at first glance. The carvings are human like made out of wood, mental, string and paint. All the carvings have the same sad facial expression.
5.A work of art that identifies a historic moment in time. What? When?
Randolph Rogers American 1825-1890. Abraham Lincoln. The 1865 assassination of President Lincoln. Many artist received commissions to perpetuate Lincoln’s memory. Rogers drew various sources in this 3-deminensional statue but added his own neoclassical touch.
6.A work of art that reminded you of something or someone in your life. Who?
John George Brown 1881. The Neighbors. This oil canvas painting of the two old women reminded me of my great-grandma “Momo” and my great-great-grandma “Granny”.
7.A work of art that shocked you. What? Why?
Deborah Butterfield American 1949. Burned and Crushed Steel Barbed Wire. This large work of art shocked because the size and the realism of the it.
8.Compare the Folk art gallery and the Contemporary gallery with the rest of the museum.
Nelle Moe Rowe 1900-1982. Folk Art is more cartoonists, colorful, awkward and childlike. Contemporary Art is vibrate, colorful, historic, has realism, and more modern.
9.Describe the part of your High Museum experience that was most meaningful to you.
The Skyway Level of the High was the most meaningful to me. All of the art work amazed me in more ways than one. The art work was full of creativity and nothing looked like the next or the last. On some level I could relate to what the art was expressing. I felt as though my entire High Museum experience was the most meaningful because I enjoy my time, I was never bored and I definitely learned something.

I L O V E this Architecture: Hometown
I chose to use the hospital I was born at. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, an academic medical center located at 111 S. 11th Street in Center City Philadelphia. Some of Philadelphia's most interesting cultural sites are within a short walk of the hospital. The hospital is minutes away from major roads and within walking distance of mass transportation services, including SEPTA regional rail lines servicing the area's suburbs and Philadelphia International Airport, making the hospital easily accessible for regional, national and international patients. As my hometown and the place I born this particular architecture means the most to me! I L O V E this Architecture.
My Photographic E Y E
I used my Photographic Eye on the different tattoos my friends have. All of there tattoos are unique and express them differently with various meaning.
My Favorite Artist: Jean Michel Basquiat
I find Basquiat's art inspiring even more so today.He truly was a master and an originator of a style that incorporated images and words evoking feelings of self reflection, hope, and pain. Through his art he always had something to say in regards to poverty,capitalism, and just overall global economy really said something for who he is, what he believes and how society was handled. I was truly inspired by his work and would love to explore it more. He creates his art based on heritage, visual poetry, artistic processes,heroes, justice and equality, and Cultural Identity
Meet this Artist I Know
This artist I know, Kimberly Folkes a Junior attending school right here at W.Georgia majoring in Art. I met Kimmie last year my first semester at W.Georgia through a mutual friend. Kimmie is extremely creative, her drawings are amazing she also does photography.
Why This Film is a Work of ART
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a work of art because so much was put in to creatively transfer an average man (Brad Pitt) into a wrinkled old short man. At the beginning of the film he was an old baby aging backwards. This film is creative and different from other movies it took a lot of effort and hard work for the movie to have realism and end up successful.
Right Brain vs. Left Brain
This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different “modes” of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode over the other.
Right:
Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Synthesizing
Subjective
Looks at wholes
Left:
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts

Poetry Slam
Love is a Plague
Love is a plague:
A disaster that happens to us all.
It is the leech upon our bodies and lives
Sucking us dry of our freedom and privilege.
Love is lust
For one can not exist without the other
They both tear us limb from limb
Showing no mercy to their victims' minds or souls.

2. Lonely One
She is alone.
Her heart cries out
Yet no one hears.
Throughout she existence,
In which she has grown,
She has shed countless tears
For those she has loved.
She falls in love many times,
But everyone seems to ignore.
The thundering silence
And lonely days are gone
Once she enters the door
Of adulthood.
Locked in a chamber
And love holds the only key.
For this lonely one
This only one
Just happens to be me
She is alone.
Her heart cries out
Yet no one hears.
Throughout she existence,
In which she has grown,
She has shed countless tears
For those she has loved.
She falls in love many times,
But everyone seems to ignore.
The thundering silence
And lonely days are gone
Once she enters the door
Of adulthood.
Locked in a chamber
And love holds the only key.
For this lonely one
This only one
Just happens to be me
I have a C A T H A R S I S.
Foolin' Myself
Foolin' myself
Thought you'd be there for me
Hoping the impossible
I can't believe I didn't see!
Lost and alone.
Now I feel so stupid;
Can't believe I was so blind.
I can't believe the things I did!
Wished you were here.
I did not realize
You were just havin' fun;
I was foolin' myself with lies!
Now that I know,
I have nowhere to go
And there is nothin' to do.
I was so hooked on you!
Thought I loved you
But I was such a fool
An' you broke my heart in two.
I can't believe I didn't see!
My life's a mess.
You said I was too young
And you did not have the time.
I can't believe I didn't see!
Foolin' myself
Thought you'd be there for me
Hoping the impossible
I can't believe I didn't see!
Lost and alone.
Now I feel so stupid;
Can't believe I was so blind.
I can't believe the things I did!
Wished you were here.
I did not realize
You were just havin' fun;
I was foolin' myself with lies!
Now that I know,
I have nowhere to go
And there is nothin' to do.
I was so hooked on you!
Thought I loved you
But I was such a fool
An' you broke my heart in two.
I can't believe I didn't see!
My life's a mess.
You said I was too young
And you did not have the time.
I can't believe I didn't see!
Just D A N C E . . .
Dancing is both an art form and a form of recreation. Dance as art may tell a story, set a mood, or express an emotion. Some dances consist of symbolic gestures that tell a story completely through movement. As recreation, dancing has long been a people's source of fun, relaxation, and companionship as well as A R T . Dancing is the act of moving the body in rhythm, usually in time to music. It seems natural for people to express themselves through rhythmic movement.

Adoption Diorama
This diorama evoked an emotion of concern and sadness. The diorama taught me that the issue of adoption is a strong factor that many people do not take as seriously. I felt that the diorama was very creative. I believe that adoption is the best option for an unwanted pregnancy. I do not believe abortion should be an option. The message delivered in the diorama is a propaganda.
Heart to Heart Day Care Diorama
My diorama represents the importance of education. I feel strongly about instilling into the next generation of children the importance of education and the knowledge and success that is gained from the foundation of having an education. I strongly feel that a career in education is my purpose in life that I truly passionate about.I am determined to direct and own a day care, possibly a chain of day care centers. My diorama is a representation of me and what drives me the most to inspire children.
