Art and feminism https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/tate/women-in-art/womens-issues-in-art/v/lily-van-der-stokker "Lily van der Stokker’s exhibition No Big Deal Thing at Tate St Ives. The Dutch artist, based in Amsterdam and New York, produces elaborate and decorative wall drawings that deal with seemingly banal events like paying bills, cleaning, cooking: the stuff of everyday life. Executing her drawings in a childlike and almost naïve manner, van der Stokker also makes use of pattern, decoration, furniture, and the tools of domestic space." This was very interesting, as he works a very different and interesting. As to see her works go from a child-like drawing and interpretation of the everyday domestic lifestyle to life-size installation is very intriguing as I would see that as feminist work but since it's about the domestic life and being a domestic woman I would see how people would consider it to be feminist.  Guerilla girls https://www...

The specialty of Meegeren was Vermeer. With his fakes after Vermeer he amassed a fortune worth more than half a billion dollars in today’s currency.

Final background marble testing.  After watching multiple videos and reading blog entries from other artists. I have found that there are multiple ways of doing the marble effect it just depends on which medium you want to use with the paint and using water isn't one of the options as it doesn't make it the right consistency you need to make the paint move around the canvas. I also realized the way that I was putting and layer the paint onto the canvas was also one of the factors on why It wasn't moving around the way I wanted it to or having the right effect of the paint.  Though I did notice that because of using Elmer's glue at as liquefier to make it a runnier consistency so it could move around the canvas better. Which worked very well and a lot better than I thought it would though it made a few bubbles, and after a bit of research all I need to do to get rid of them by spraying over it with rubbing alcohol. The ratio with glue is about 1:1 depending o...

As part of my painting project, I wanted to reference Aphrodite in my paintings to symbolize women's beauty and sexuality. Though I knew it would be hard for others to see and know that it is a reference to Aphrodite, so I knew I had to choose a painting that was relevant and easy to recognized by people who weren't aware to what it was. I needed to find an Iconic painting that would help everyone be able to understand the reference to Aphrodite. The most common Aphrodite painting that everyone knows is the birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli 1480s There is also Birth of Venu which is by Alexandre Cabanel 1863 And another Birth of Venus by William-Adolphe Bouguereau done in 1979 This is one of my personal favorites and I did an experimental painting based on this version of the birth of venus. Though instead of there being people and cherub I replaced them with Cats and Dogs to make it more relevant to myself as a self-portrait but also more modern and expres...
