Journal Question #10

This is an etching, a self-portrait, of Rembrandt when he was still a young man - already, it's clear that he is a master visual artist.  The topic for this first ELL Journal of Semester II is art, specifically visual art.  I admire Rembrandt and the Dutch Masters of the 16th century (among many other painters).  How about you?  Do you have a favorite artist or a favorite style of painting?  Feel free to include a picture in your post - or a link to a website that features your artist or art.

  3. My favorite visual artist is Michelangelo. Arts was my worst subject in primary school.because I don't have any arts talent. So sometimes I envy those who can draw. But if I let me finish a painting, I will try to finish.

  4. My favorite artist is Vincent Van Gogh. I also like drawing in my space time to relax myself although my painting skill is not good. I think drawing is also a language. If the artist wants to show something or some thoughts, we can find them in his artwork.

    I don’t like art, but I will write about Frida kahlo one of the most important artist in the Mexican history, also his face is in the 500 bill of the Mexican money, his art is extravagant but is a good representation of the Mexican culture.

  8. In fact, I don’t have artist I admire. If I have to choose, I will choose Van Gogh. And in his life, he was very poor and unlucky, because nobody liked his paintings. However, after several hundreds years, he became very famous in the world. I like his spirit that persistent and patient.

  17. My favorite artist is Picasso. I learned art as a child for him. His works can make me feel that I am in them, and each painting has a unique feature. I collected his pen since I was a child, because he now makes my art cell very high. I can enjoy each of his works, and I like each of his works very much.

  19. I do n’t really appreciate the painter but I am very interested in Da Vinci because his painting always hides some secrets. His life is also amazing. The smile of the Mona Lisa he painted is very curious. Painting reveals secrets with aliens

  20. My favorite artist is Joseph Mallord William Turner. I actually like to take landscape pictures, and the artist has drawn a lot of landscape paintings and I loved the landscape. In fact, I have never been to a museum, but I want to go to the museum someday to see the artist's paintings. I don't know much about the author yet, but I want to know more.

  34. The artist I like is Van Gogh, and his work can always give someone a particularly shocking feeling, so that his work can still be amazing a few years later. Genius is always short-lived,Vincent Van Gogh shot himself in a mental disorder and was only 37 years old.

  36. I like Qi baishi,Modern and contemporary Chinese painting masters, world cultural celebrities.
    In his early years, he worked as a carpenter and then made a living selling paintings. He settled in Beijing at the age of 57. Good at painting flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains and rivers, figures, ink vigorous moist, colorful bright, concise and vivid modeling.
    Qi baishi sold paintings when he was young, for the sake of simplicity, to the number of the picturesque vegetables, melon, fruit, chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, there are a number of paintings, to a number of money. Someone wants a picture of a shrimp. When qi baishi finished painting, there were several shrimps on the picture. The man looked at the picture and asked for an extra shrimp, as is often the case in a vegetable market. Qi baishi was not happy, but he took the pen and added a shrimp to the picture. The man looked at the picture and saw that the shrimp was painted as if it were gone, lifeless and strange. Qi baishi said, "the shrimp you want to add is not within the price, so I drew a dead shrimp for you as a free gift."
    His representative works are shrimps and Double crab diagram of begonia.
