Welcome to Art Love!

Hello anyone who happens to read this blog entry!

First, a little bit about myself:

I'm a student in a highschool of the south suburbs of Chicago. I have a passion for art, and hope one day to be successful in graphic design. I've taken a number of art classes at my high school including art fundamentals, 2D Studio One, and 2D Studio Two. I've also taken classes in landscape drawing, studio art, and graphic design as part of the art institute's early college program. I've been in several shows around my town, and other places, and I recently participated in a national competition in which I painted a lifesize cow (very fun!). This summer, I plan on traveling to Europe, specifically Florence, Venice, Nice, and Paris, with around twenty people in the art department from my school. I also plan on attending a three week session at the Cranbrook Summer Institute of Art for the portfolio development class. Should be a fun summer!

And Now About the Blog:

This past year I took an art history class at my school and found it to be a very interesting subject. In this blog I want to critique and discuss a different art piece every day (in no specific order timewise, just pieces I feel strongly about). I may also feature artists rather than a specific work. I'm doing this to learn more about art overall, to retain the information I learned this past year, and to develop my own art skills. I will also put some of my own work on this blog in order to compare with the work of established artists. I'm nowhere near as good as they are, but hopefully I'll one day create work which will be (I know, I know, dream big!). I would love if others would read and comment on this blog, but I know it's doubtful that anyone will :)

Artwork on this site is for educational purposes. If you want me to remove any images featured here please comment here and I will remove the work.

Thank you anyone who has read this, I hope that I've captivated somebody's attention!
