#20 Thanksgiving breaks

Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving break! I love it! 

Seattle!
It great to go home and see the family again after a long time of missing them, I left on Sunday morning and flew home to Montana, but I stop in Seattle first since I had a one stop ticket.

Above Seattle
high above Seattle
I was looking outside of my plane window when I was in the air and I notice towns...little little towns. It is beautiful of how the town is like from high above, but to me I wonder if it is arts. I could not use my phone to take a picture of it and I'm too sleepy to get my book and draw, but I found some picture that could help you looking at it. What you think? is it art or not?

#11 out of 20 Artist: Walt Disney

Okay let go to Disney World! I mean it, have you been to Disney before?

Walt Disney
I was watching a Disney movie last night and it was all time classic movie of mine Aladdin. It make me want to talk about the first Disney character Mickey Mouse creator by Walt Disney.

Walt Disney was born in 1901, as a Irish man living in Chicago (What up! Chicago people in the house), but sadly him and his family keep on moving everywhere. They move to Florida, Kansas City, Ontario and back to Kansas City. Walt fall in love with drawing at young age and started to make a life saving out of it. One of Walt's Neighbors even pay him to draw his horse.

After his childhood, he moved back to Chicago and went to High school at McKinley High, but also did night classes at the Chicago Art Institute. He joined the army of age 16, but he was kick out because of underage.

He later join the army again, but as Red Cross. He finish working with the Red Cross in 1919 when joined in 1918, but after he left the Red Cross, all he can think of his drawing and plan to found how to go to Hollywood. Walt and his brother saved a lot of money and got their own studio in Hollywood and Walt first job as a cartoon drawer, is working at Alice Comedies.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
After the series of Alice Comedies ended in 1927,  and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was Walt next big project, He believe that project will take him to a higher life and make him happy.  Walt did not get Oswald the Lucky Rabbit job, but looking at the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, it almost the same art that Walt will make next.

After losing the right of Oswald The lucky rabbit, Walt went back to Kansas City and took a break, but in 1937 Mickey Mouse was born.

Mickey Mouse was created by Walt by almost copy of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but Mickey Mouse was a big picture.  He created his first silnet movie of Mickey in the 1930s and became a hit to the world.

Mickey was born
Walt was the next American hero and have gone by from little to BIG STAR in 3 years. Through out the years. Mickey Mouse become a popular cartoon as Walt create a park called "Disney World" and "Disney Land" in the 1950s.

Walt dead in 1966 by a lung cancer, but his dream still live on and having people taking his place to create more Disney movies and cartoon.

#10 out of 20 Artist: Barnett Newman

Barnett Newman
Okay, this is a chessey artist, but yet so powerful in a way. Meet Barnett Newman he was born in 1905 and dead in 1970. He is one of the many American artist in the world. In the 1930 he started painting, but his painting had been said to be in an expressionist style. He created painting that people is scared of color trying to help the need and special people to over come in his work.

"What is the explanation of the seemingly insane drive of man to be painter and poet if it is not an act of defiance against man's fall and an assertion that he return to the Garden of Eden? For the artists are the first men." - Barnett Newman.

Barnett Newman painting "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?"
His art works does not really grab me in, but a simple painting make me feel like he was high on drug to create this art. I am not really a fan of Barnett Newman, but I could not think of anything 2-D artists right now in my head.

#19 The idea of my Project

Oh wonder laptop, how are you today?.....no reply?....okay? Anyway, I want to tell you how my project is going. It is going awesome! I have finally one the work I want to do and here is my drawing.

I know it not fancy, but I promise it will be awesome. I almost got into trouble today taking leafs from someone yard. Yea, who on earth want a dead leaf? I guess the person does. What is he gonna do with it? I have no idea, but who cares. I can goes to other people houses...hahahahahaha( evil laugh) No one will stop me with this project.

I am going to make a leaf suit with a tie, vest and maybe a hat. I am scared about the suit jacket because it a lot of work to put in. Anyway, I am off to steal more leafs hahaha. This should be a FUN NIGHT!

#18 5 Body Artists

The first dress
Look like the same dress from Unicorn
#1 Rebecca Horn. I have already wrote about her, but I can't help myself. She knows how to use the body in art. Tell me if I am crazy, she is hot as hell too or maybe it just me, but anyway that not the point. Rebecca body projects is one of the reason, why I pick her in the first place and with out her I could not think of another body artist. You remember the "Unicorn" work? I was watching one of my many favorite movies "The Fifth Element" and I notice something that is the same in my project I research. The character named " Leeloo Minai Lekarariba-Laminai-Tchai Ekbat De Sebat" played by Milla Jovovich, is wearing the same clothes like the Unicorn, but sadly it covering the boobs in this! DAMN IT! 

The grass clothes
#2. Gene Pool. You might not heard of them, but I heard of him since I was a kid looking at the world broken record or Ripley believe it or not. He created clothes out of grass, penny, watch and fork suits. I am shock that the teacher did not bring this up in class because his art is awesome and I don't mind wearing the grass suit if it is comfy.

gaga's Meat dress
#3 Jana Sterbak. Like most people I watch MTV and I remember I was watching the VMA and always want to see what Lady Gaga wears since she can be really creative with her work. It happen, She wear weird stuffs the whole night, but one dress was the meat dress. I talk about it a little in the last blog, but did not think I need to talk about it again(sorry, I just did) Jana Sterbak is the person who created the meat dress, but their is other clothes that she made. such as "Atlas" so who is weird now?

Nick Cave's soundsuit
#4 Nick Cave. Okay, this is the hardest blog I am doing since their is not a lot of body art, that I like. Nick Cave is an artist that copy from the Adam family. He did not just create that, but he create other things such as the Sound suit, which it fully sock suit and tops suit with tops from the first ones to now. I think this is Lady Gaga boyfriend...it have to be!

Meredith Ostrom
#5 Meredith Ostrom. This is a new artists but getting famous with her work. She is a model woman, but she a painter. When she paint, she go NUDE! yes, NUDE! now that is 100% BODY ARTS. She is from Swedish and the only people have heard of her is the ones who like nude arts...check out the picture. I enjoy works.

#17 Art project #3

Lady Gaga
Finally, it here Art project #3! WHOOT! my creative mind is back in busy and this project should be SWEET! After the teacher talk about the new project, she gave us some great ideas, such as "Wearing them", "wannabe" or "crazy thing, but wearing it". For this project I want to GO GREEN! I am not a hippie and I will be piss if I was but what it will looks like if clothes are go green? I mean what if we can have t-shirt made out of leafs? pants made out of tree? Oh yea I have full of idea going in my head, Thanks to the teacher she turn off my brain for a while but now it working like a machine! This project is gonna be something Lady Gaga's boyfriend will wear and Lady Gaga will marry that person.

Gaga's Clothes
Crazy? come on! have you seen Lady gaga clothes? She even have a meat dress that really made out of meat. That is crazy, but I bet it good on the grill after she wore it. okay, my head is in wonder land now. I could not write today since all I am thinking is  this project, but here some picture that give me ideas.
