hello

I want this class to help me work toward a better understanding of why and how people express themselves the way they do. I am looking forward to learning more about the art of Mexico, as well as sharing some new ideas.
A little bit about me:


Nicene Marks <3













This is a trail I like to run at in Aptos. Getting up early to run in 30 degree weather sounds like absolute torture, but it is easy to get over myself when I'm surrounded by so much beauty. I like to take care of myself, and I like to work hard (when its worth it). Its good for the body and the soul.

"Composition VII" - Kandinsky














I'm not a huge fan of modern art, but this piece interests me. According to artchive, scholars have determined that this painting "combines the themes of the Resurrection, the Last Judgment, The Deluge, and the Garden of Love in an operatic outburst of pure painting," without any form of pictoral representation. Maybe I need to look at it a little longer. I think that description is kind of silly, but at the same time I like the fact that this piece meant something to its creator, and that it can mean something completely different to me. The way Kandinsky uses light, color, and form, can affect my emotion in a completely different way than either of us may have expected, kind of like how the way you view life's twists and turns depends on your personal outlook. I choose to see beauty.

stuff:
















I love stupid humor. I like little things that really don't have to play any huge roles or even affect you for more than a moment. Sometimes it is just nice to experience.
