Museum

Andy Warhol

Art is not just a hobby or an extra skill to have. Art is a passion, a state of mind. Throughout all of the people in this world, only a few can paint art. They think not of what makes sense, but what they feel and make what they think of a certain thing or object. Sometimes art may be showing anger or joy. Sometimes art can show power, control over something. Art can be anything anyone wants. It just has to make sense in the way they want it to. This is art, this is true emotion and feeling.
Andy Warhola, more commonly known as Andy Warhol, was born on August 6th, 1928. He was a great artist and person. After is successful career as a commercial illustrator, he became known as an artist all around the world. He created a self portrait of himself in 1986. So many things can be said about him and his hobbies with this. He was a inspired artist starting small like all people in this world. A true artist by painting what he loves. He paints the things that he thinks about and what he doesn’t think about, outside of the box. He paints mostly of the old days, things that he is comfortable with. He does not care what people say about his paintings and in his mind, everything is different. His self portrait is pointing out different meaning in his life and points out who he is.
Andy Warhol, one of the greatest American artists that lived. Almost nobody can compare to his greatness. Art speaks, or at least it is suppose to. Andy Warhol is one of those people c=who can make it do exactly that. He inspired others and created a new way to think. As well as making other people famous. He photographed Marilyn Monroe and made her famous. Overall, he is one of the most caring and well mannered people in the history of art.

Writing Goals

My writing goals for the year is the use more advanced and efficient words. I want to make the setting seem more able to be pictured. I want the reader ot actually feel what they are reading and not be bored to death. Hopefully I will be able to write better so I can get 100% on all assignments and be able to do that throughout the years.
