I chose Vincent Van Gogh's piece; Sunflowers. Vincent Van Gogh was the son of a pastor in Holland in 1893. He was brought up in a religeous and cultered atmosphere and he wasn't very happy. He didn't have a good love life and he wasn't very successful with his careers. He decided to become an artist so he could "give happiness by creating beauty". Then while visiting his brother in Paris, he started going mad and he went to an asylum for treatment. There he died in 1890 because he shot himself. During his career, he sold one painting. A lot of artists try to copy his art, but they don't have the same enlightment that Van Gogh put into his pieces.
The painting Sunflowers shows the difference between life and death in sunflowers. He makes the colors flow into eachother. I think it should be on the library wall because it looks pretty and shows the natural looks of sunflowers and it's a living and non-living treat for the eyes.

My artist was Wayne Thiebauld. The picture was Cakes. He was in the Pop movement. He did allot of cafeteria foods like pies, cakes, ice-cream.... He was born in Mesa Arizona 1920. He won an art prize in 1961. I did the cakes because the paint is original and not like copying something or recreating something.
I think we should do this piece because it has shading and lines and color. Which would be a cool? Then when we could design one to two cakes it would be really cool I think it would look nice in our library.

I chose Dance Class at the Opera by Edgar Degas. Degas basically introduced impressionism, but he had wanted to be a realist and rejected the term impressionism. He was most interested in painting dance, dancers, and female nudes. He was also a draughtsman meaning he liked to draw/sketch, and paint with oil pastels. I think that this painting should be chosen to recreate in the high school library because Degas' paintings were meant to find the beauty in the hideousness of the war and to let the people of France see what they were supposed to be proud of.
Edgar Degas was born July 19, 1834.When growing up Degas was supposed to be go to a law school, because his father expected him to. Degas went to that law school, but didn't really take any interest in his studies. So he applied to another school and was excepted to Ecole odes Beaux-Arts (school of beautiful arts). I think that this part of his life was very important to his career because it took a lot of determination to make that choice of disobeying his family for what he had wanted, instead of what his family thought best. But if he didn't take that chance he would have never been a famous artist. After Degas had gotten out of College he started traveling more often, mostly trying to get away from the war. But when he did come back to Paris he would find the beautiful things that were still alive in the war. And that was Ballet. He would make paintings, sketches, and even sculptures or ballerinas. He soon after started liking the form of the human body and started drawing female nudes. Later on in the 1860's he became an anti-Semite, meaning he was against the Jewish faith. He cut off any communication with friends that were Jewish and wouldn't use a model that he thought was Jewish either, and he stayed that way until death in 1917.

I chose the son of man by Rene Magritte. I think we should hang the picture in our library because it is very well drawn and it is different then most paintings. It is different because there is an apple in front of his face instead of being a face but you can see his left eye behind the apple so he kind if draws the face a little bit. That is why i thin it is different. Surrealist period, movement, or age.
The paining is a man in a suit with a cloudy sky and the ocean behind him he has a face but an apple is covering it and you can barely see his left eye. I think it is a unique, cool, and different that is why i think it should be hung up in our library All the above and i think it is neat and i really like the painting it is on of my favorite paintings.

I chose Monkeys in the Jungle because it really stood out with the monkeys and the colors. The colors are really realistic and so is the proportion. The monkeys are so cute and they really do look real. I like how the monkeys aren’t just sitting there, but actually doing what monkeys do. EAT. The monkeys are eating some fruit that looks like oranges.
Henri Rousseau is a post impressionist. That means that it was after the impressionist movement. He creates really great paintings and pieces of art. They all look so real and they are really well drawn.

I chose Little Girl in a Blue Armchair because; I really liked the way the artist (Mary Cassatt) captured the young girl’s expression; she seems restless and bored, and looks like she’s waiting for something. Mary Cassatt was on May 22, 1844. Her art movement is Impressionism, and she is known for many paintings, especially The Bath, painted in 1893.
I think this painting should be chosen for the mural, because I think it captures the innocence of children, and shows an expression that a lot of kids have; which is boredom. I also think it would fit in nicely in our school, especially in the library, because it is very relaxing. It makes you feel calm and content.
