Abstract Expressionism- Part 2

The artist was trying to say three things about his artwork. The first was that his life is scrapped like a battlefield. It looks like blood and bodies in the battlefield after a war. Next, it would be the confusion in his life shown by the mix of colors in the background. Finally, the last thing the artist wanted to say would be about the deaths in his life, shown by the red , which could be blood.

Abstract Expressionism

Blood spattered, clothes tattered
Vision of a war zone
Get out of the way before you are blown
Away into the hole, alone
Scrape me off of the ground
Run away, they're still around
You can't escape the grind
Because its a map of YOUR mind

Rio de Janeiro


I want to visit Rio de Janeiro for various reasons. The first would be the weather that it has. I have lived in Chicago my whole life and its always cold and I would like to experience a better climate. Also, the scenery is urban and beautiful. Rio de Janeiro has beautiful beaches and an oceanview next to a city and in Chicago,we do not have that. Rio de Janeiro is a great place to visit and could potentially be a great home.

Downtown

Fast life, die young
Live it like its your last
That's what she said before the lights were hung
On the highway overpass
Downtown city life
Too big for her country life
Out of place
Brand mew space
Simulated images
No new life, working in a kitchen
She began to fold
City life to her was arctic cold
Life equals a poker game
She was all in
Now her past is calling...

Performance Artist-Miranda July

This performance artist, Miranda July, is a performer who goes around the world perfoming multi-media acts. She makes films to entertain everyone's minds. She acts in them herself and produces random acts for the entertainment. She also performs plays that make people think about the meaning of why she did it and how she came up with the idea. To close, Miranda July is a diverse performance artist who makes her audience think.

Inkblot

This inkblot print can be various images but it can be different to other people. This inkblot looks like a couple of things to me. The first thing my subconscious sees is the two heads coming out of the sides. It looks two people are poking their heads out to look around around a corner. Next, it looks like two people on both sides looking at their hands or phones. The bottom of the inkblot can be their arms and the lower half of their bodies. To reemphasize, inkblots look different to everyone because of their subconscious.

Dada

This sculpture by Marcel Duchamp is unlike anything people used to be used to. It disrupted what people normally thought to be a sculpture was. This is why it fits into the Dada movement. It blatantly does the opposite of what art was supposed to be. It is basically the opposite of art, which came to be realized as its own aspect of art. To finish, Marcel Duchamp, a Dadaist, created this artwork to contradict the normal idea of art.
