RENAISSANCE PERIOD

1.       For me the most striking characteristics of renaissance is the way how they built some architectural parts on that era. Because they revived most of the part of architecture in that generations like elements of classical roman building that includes columns, arches, domes, basilicas and more.

2.       Because this period contains of lots of meaning and historical stories to become relevant in this present art. And likewise now we are more expressionist for our art from our own realism method.

3.       I think renaissance period influence me to become more intellectual and more on religious kind of art work that I am interested to make. And I’m more confident to make a design by occupying the different place in the society.

Way back then...

   1.    I think the most striking for me is what they’re doing in their Art like Sculpting, Draw paintings in the wall, a painting that last forever. In the classical art the part that strikes me the most are the life size sculpture that are very detailed like tey are real men walking on the streets J

   2 .    Yes, because I’m inspired as an artist to imitate their styles and versatilities in what they are doing in the past era’s.

   3.    The Sculpture of the life size man in the Classical art interest me the most thinking how’d they do that.

   4.    I think it could not be that easy because you can’t just imitate them in their artwork they are just an inspiration to mold your creativeness in whatever art you must do. Why not it’s a free talent that god had given to us.  

Week 1: Mona Lisa's Smiles 

An abstruse portrait of a lady behind the artwork of Leonardo Da Vinci has caught everybody’s attention for generations, more commonly known as Mona Lisa. Looking at the painting, all I can see with my bare eyes was a portrait of a lady wearing those enigmatic smiles and those remarkable look in its viewer. I have heard about this painting a lot of times before, but, in spite of being familiarize with it and know the idea behind of Mona Lisa, it turns as an ordinary painting for me. With my curiosity, I look at it and try to figure out what’s so special about it that makes it a well-known piece of artwork.  Who is Mona Lisa? Is she a love interest of Da Vinci? Or just someone that comes from his imagination? Why Da Vinci painted her? These are some of the questions lingering in my mind which I tried to search for answers. With my passionate interest in revealing the mythology surrounding this world’s famous painting, I’ve searched and read a lot of articles about this painting.

Mona Lisa was painted in Florence between 1503 and 1506 and this was a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Florentine cloth merchant named Francesco de Gioncondo. I also found in these article secrets of Mona Lisa. As stated in it, this image that reveals the painter’s preparatory drawings that shows that Renaissance man was also human. Taking a closer look at the painting, everyone can notice that Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. Is it for real, that Mona Lisa has no eyebrows?  Was there a reason why did she doesn’t have eyebrows in the portrait? Furthermore, I have discovered that when a certain engineer and scientist zoomed in the image of Mona Liza’s left eye, they found out that it has a single brush stroke in the eyebrow region, which shows that Mona Lisa has real eyebrows in the portrait, it was painted finely and makes it unable to be seen with our naked eye. What about those enigmatic smiles? The famous Mona Lisa’s smile represents the idea of happiness suggested by the word “giocanda” in Italian. Leonardo created this smile as the focal point of this portrait, therefore the alternative title for it was La Giocanda. One more thing, someone told me that Da Vinci has many secrets hiding behind Mona Lisa’s portrait, that has been lately discovered by some scientist using microscope to observe Mona Lisa then they found out numbers written in her eyes. Interesting huh ? Yah ! I know, let me continue the story. After finding those numbers in her eyes they scan it more define and again they see numbers scattered in her face, which leads them to conclude that it might be something like a code that Da Vinci wanted to convey.

Like many artist, Leonardo made his masterpieces conspicuously, through his passion and exceptional style It took him four years to finish this painting, which shows his patience and perseverance that I belived that our generations should also posses. Mona Lisa, achieve its fame because of the mysteries it makes its viewers curious about. Every art has its own meaning and message to the viewer, if you don’t analyze the message of an art you cannot know what is the essence of that art.

Week 10: Augment feral minds

After a few weeks I’m here again to visit my blog and make a new blog. Boost your creativity, my first impression in this topic are freely wild minds in the industry. For me the most important way to enhance your creativity is make believe to yourself nothing can believe in yourself but only you. You must need to fight your fear in failure do not hesitate what you are going to do or want to do always feel the independence to become an artist. Creativity is a Journey. Don’t trust in your own ideas and suggestions you must need to know somebody’s ideas to inspire and knew what they know that you do not know. Do not think things that can block your ingenuity always think positive or always have a vibes that is good. According to a 2006 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, positive moods can increase your ability to think creatively. Focus on eliminating your negative thoughts that can spoil your creative mind. Always have a faith full time on your labour you can’t develop an enhanced work that are made by a short time, you must need to finish some masterpiece by a right time.

You must devote yourself to developing your creative abilities put some hearts in what you are doing for you to have a superior conclusion on your toil. Pick some idea and be an expert on that. One of the best way to gain creativity is become an expert in one field you must have at least one area of product that you can provide genuine work on that product because you are an expert on that. Always give yourself an opportunity to explore new topics don’t stuck on what you are expertise. Sometimes your product must not give attention to somebody or not literally a good work but don’t stop while you meet that situation because you can still develop it  in future you can still boost your creativity, in short learn from your mistakes. Insecurity can suppress your abilities don’t lack of confidence be confident but not cocky. Daydreaming can help build some ideas on your creative mind. Always think or dream one product that can mainstreamed the world. Always remember curiosity is an element of a journey that can help you boost your creativity, ask why? How? How come? Don’t accept ideas that don’t make sense to you. It is still in you how would you build your creative mind but always think that everybody have great minds don’t challenge them but at least be one of them.

Week 9: New habit to express

At first I’m not interested when our professor told us to make a blog but when each week comes my self is straining the sense of blogging that’s why each and every week I’m starting to love blogging even though I’m not good in English and in grammar. In past era some people use notebooks and pens to say what’s on their mind. They write their everyday routine on a notebook to express their selves or to make a diary. There are no blogging sites or whatever in past generations. But now there are a lots of them that are free to use and express you selves infinitely. I’m different in real life and in blogging because here in blogging I can say that I’m a bit good in English but when it comes n real life I’m not that good in expressing myself unlike in this blog. When it comes in blogging I usually read some of my classmate’s blog before I do my blog. I honestly do that often for me to have an idea and knowledge about that blog but not exactly copying their thoughts. I’m confused that when somebody read my blog there are circumstances that they can laugh at my grammars and English but it’s ok because I’m at the age of learning. But I thoroughly appreciate those who appreciate me.

Blogging is other term for expressing you I think 70% of your blog doesn’t show you who you are in person that is my perspective. There is freedom in blogging you can say whatever you want to say or to express, doesn’t matter how long it is. But it doesn’t mean you can say some naughty or censored words in your blog. Off course you must have a responsibility to choose a word that is good to hear for you not the words that can make your image bad. You must know how to blog properly, blogging is not easy as you think and type you need also to think twice before you type or post it. You must also know your limitations once you make a blog. J In positive aspects of blogging you must know how to think a better topic to make sense.  Always have a citations in every RE- blog or copying in different people’s blog. Better to put some good ideas that readers can feed by just reading it. Make use of smiley’s to have an good vibes about reading. Blogging is the most comfortable way to learn, teach, express and feed some person’s mind. 

Week 8: Effect of new media in generation of hipsters!

Hello blog! Finally I can do my blog now after few weeks of recovering in my injury. Our teacher told us to make a blog about new media technologies. There are so many new media technology inside on our computer but off course this new media have some positive and negative effects in our daily lives. But nowadays new media is one of the way’s that changed our lives in so many ways, for me this can be a habit in everyday lives. Internet or new media’s are helpful to our new generation in this society it can connect to our friends, relatives, enemies etc. By using new media we can easily bond in outside world by using social networking sites. You may know what are the topic on different places of the world that trends on the internet. Internet is addictive like vice but you can have your own responsibility to make use of the internet wise and productive. I must admit I’m a hipster addict in computer surfing almost 24/7 of my life I’m online. This kind of daily lives had been using by billions of people around the world that’s why internet is the most influential an expensive element that everyone can have.

New media is the easiest way to search some things fast. You can search things that TV has not valuing to watch, sites that can harm our mental sickness and some sites that won’t able to open. For me my daily routine is not complete without  viewing my facebook, twitter, youtube accounts. I think new media made me realize that I can do something more and new media made me happy in some ways. In past years only internet can have an access into social networking sites and different sites, but now even Cellular phones or other devices. You can download and send videos, pictures, songs by using different app on different kind of cellular phones. New media helps us to know more about the world in fact I think most people don’t use television to view some news and updates but they use internet to know what is happening in outside world. At young age some child know how to operate internet and use them but they didn’t know what is the effect on what they are doing at young age, so better not to obey some child that uses internet by their own.

Week 7: Seek for the rain!

When it rains my whole day routine was eat, sleep, surf! But it's not constant because sometimes I  do my chores outside our house because we take advantage in the water that god gave us. :) We all know that when is raining its hard to get up in your sleep most specially in the early morning. That's why if it's raining in the evening most of student's I think all was praying to have no classes in the next morning. But I just realize if the classes suspend because of the weather we can have more duties to do because one class means a lot. OK let's get back to my personal daily habit during rainy season. Sometime I dance in our lobby and act a fool with some loud music! I ate so much I think ate every 15 min., yah 15 min! I always eat my Stepchild's stock of food. :) I make also soup but it's instant because I'm not expert in cooking that's why I used to buy some packed of instant noodles and cooked and eat it on my own.

One normal morning I just randomly said that "shit! it's raining again" and my Mom shout to me that I wasn't able to speak those words because rain is a gift from god that most of us need's it. Every Creatures here on earth need water and rain. Like animals, peoples, and even plants. We must appreciate all the gift's from god because it's a blessing. Let's get back again in my habit. In rainy season I also want to play mellow music or love song music just to relax my mental and physical awareness. Sometimes I watched movie different types of movies like horror, comedy, adventure, and most specially love story :) I just want to take God for the blessing that he given to us to make ourselves get warm when the rain is empowering the world and get love with every season that the world has.
