Abstract Art

Abstract Art is art that does not look like what its meant to be. If your not the best at making art with great detail then abstract art is for you. I use to see abstract art as being just scribbles of paint that people got paid a lot for. Abstract art is a great way of expressing yourself. You make art that sometimes people automatically can tell what it was made to be and sometimes people do not see your vision. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of what art is.

Harlem Renaissance


During the Harlem renaissance African Americans began to migrate to Harlem, New York making it prodominatly black neighborhood. Many African americans moved from their rural living to urban cities. They made their own style of art, and music and redefined expressions of African-Americans and their heritage. everyone called this "The New Negro Movement".


I chose the harlem renaissance as my topic because it has alot to do with art. Many artist was able to express this movement through art dance, music, theatre, literature and poetry rather than just stating the facts. The art that was made looks very urban with alot of bright colors and its very descriptive without doing so much detailing. It was a historic moment that showed the middle class African Americans making a mark in history.

OUR FRIEND WALTER

Walter, your time here with us was very dear and special, with your unusual artistic abilities. Your art work is very different and make people take a second look. Abstract art wasn't a big eye opener to me because I looked at it like it was just scribbles but after making abstract art myself I look at it with a different view. Its sad that you will no longer be here but hopefully you can take time out of your busy schedule to come to our Art gallery.I learned alot within the time you was here. your art is very inspirational. The collages we made was very relaxing and new to me. I would like to say thank you for your time here.
