My First Blog

    Hello,

 My name is Janae, I am from Battle Ground, Washington a small town about 45 minutes from Portland, Oregon. I love the outdoors i spend as much time as possible outside when the weather allows it since we get tons of rain from October through May. On the side, I do photography mostly going to the beach and taking pictures there since it is one of my favorite places. In the summer I ride quads also known as four-wheelers down in the sand dunes it has been my hobby since I was four years old and I'm glad my family has continued going as I grew up. This last year I picked up an old hobby of mine I have started reading again and I have found so much joy in it and it's been taking up much of my free time.

    Art has always interested me, I took art classes when I was younger and as I got older I slowly lost my ability to draw or paint. If I were able to pick a style of art it would be painting. I love watching art videos and seeing the process since everyone is so different in art styles. There are no art museums near me, but there are art fairs that I have gone to a couple of times and I have enjoyed them so much!. Art history I have always enjoyed it, with learning the different ways to express art.

    I love art fairs. I did my grad school in the Twin Cities and loved the huge summer art fair held there. I am also a reader. I love fantasy novels and even belong to an online book community run by a book tuber.

    Hi Janae,
    I'm not familiar with this artist or his paintings. However, the monochrome watercolor scene caught my attention. It seems to be influenced by oriental art and has an exquisite technique. The blue landscape invites daydreaming and relaxation. Captivating choice!

    Hello Janae,
    I also really enjoy the outdoors. I have grown up hunting, fishing and camping here in rural Alaska. I like the image you have chosen, I'd like to ask what you like to paint?

    Hi Janae,
    I love the art you picked. I’ve never seen it before. I also love being outdoors. I grew up mostly in Tennessee and we were always camping or out on the lake.

Classical Era blog The Growing Economic Power of the Middle Class

                      Background  During The Growing Economic Power of the Middle Class in the 1700s artists started transitioning to making paintings of everyday life, landscapes, and portraits of middle-class people. The rise of wealth made it so that more individuals could afford commissions. The artworks below will show examples of everyday life, portraits and landscapes. The growing economic power of the middle class helped artists be able to profit and sell their paintings for more. Since the industry was offering  more jobs, more people worked and were able to spend large amounts of money either responsibly or irresponsibly.                                             Artworks    Marriage A-la-Mode: 1, The Marriage Settlement William Hogarth made a series of six p...

Art Analysis

About this art      Claude Monet's work has always been simple but also complicated, it uses a lot of color, space, and texture. The image below is one of his famous paintings Waterlilies and Japanese Bridge. In this piece this artist used his space very uniquely, This gives off a lot of dimensions the bridge takes up the most space but you can see it in the setting, and the pond gives off the most depth with the lilys The color palette is demonstrated is very limited mostly greens but it brings out the contrast in the flowers and the bridge, with a darker background and lighter front. Without a good color palette it's hard to achieve what you want in a painting it sets the mood. Texture is another vital part of this, without the textures given mostly in the background it gives off a certain tone to the setting, without texture you would not be able to tell those were trees and branches in the background even though they are not very detailed it still sets the mood for th...

Preferences and Perspectives - The Romantic Era

      The Romanticism Era lasted from around the late 18th century through the mid-19th century. It originated in Europe before spreading to other parts of the world, some styles that came out of this were Realism, Impressionism, and Post Impressionism. They wanted to express emotions being able to feel what you see in the paintings when looking at them. I will be presenting four paintings comparing Impressionism and Realism.                                                                                 Impressionism  Impressionism in simple terms is practicing painting our doors at random or spontaneously rather than being in a studio or making out your own sketches. This style is my favorite, It feels natural and more personal t...
