Art mission

I am a single mother raised daughters. While watching them being attracted to inferior art forms, I have no choice but study art myself. It puzzles me why my children after being educated in school made their preference. Chinese parents normally put all the hopes and wishes to their decedent, wish them achieve what they themselves can not achieve during their life time and carry on humanity. I want achieve as much as I can to show them the beauty of art. Studying and practicing art make me feel life is meaningful. I am taking classes in local art school and community art center.

I am a very happy person when I’m focused on drawing, painting or learning how to improve my artwork. I receive great satisfaction sharing my work and teaching what knowledge I’ve gained through books, online tutorials and artist friends. I wasn’t fortunate to have formal training so I’m always searching for instructional videos and books that could help me and open my eyes to another way.

A Tale of Two Towers is a journey between Jumma Masjid Tower and Raiyanaka Parabazar Tower at Rajkot my home towm, my place of birth and where my home and office are stationed respectively. It is as well the journey of a common face in the crowd passing in the shadows of the busy market lanes and travelling between these two destinations to etch a place of my own. A fact that mesmerizes me as a seventh generation in the same place is that this same stretch of the road between the two towers has been a witness to my fathers and forefathers settling down here, traversing the same path, dwelling between these two towers, and growing in their occupation and family.

Delacroix, ever the Romantic

Article by Jimena Escoto

The nineteenth century was a period of constant change, revolutions, wars, endings and new beginnings. These turbulent times affected artists who began to express themselves in more than one way. Indeed, when we study the 1800s art, we have at least four movements that really transcended and made an impact in the History of Art: Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and the origins of Cubism. In this article I want to talk about one of the greatest Romantic painters and possibly one of the last Old Masters, Eugène Delacroix.

Hello Friends,

“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short;
but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”- Michelangelo

I love sketching. But since I had to go find myself a job in order to earn a living I gave up my dream to be an artist. Later I spent my years balancing my job, kid and family.

Arts have a unique place in my life, it is helping me to think over, to contemplate, to understand the world’s around me, our nature. It is giving me intellectual satisfaction too cause of a constant learning.

I am working with one wish, putting enough money aside to make A Florence Fine Arts School, I trust that it would be a true help in my development.

When Venus tells the Story of Art

Articke by Jimena Escoto

No matter which era of the western history of art you study, mythological scenes are present. That is why a great way to navigate through the evolution of art is by studying the same subject as it has been depicted across time and space. One of the most popular deities of the Greco-Roman pantheon is Venus or Aphrodite, the goddess of love, sexuality, fertility, etc. She is the protagonist of a vast number of stories regarding the gods and the mortals. For example, the love triangle between her, Mars and Vulcan, her interference within the Homeric epics, and her manipulation of Dido and Aeneas.

All I want is to draw

Hi, My name is Ivan and I draw whenever I have free time.

My parents are very supportive and they pay for my art education. My friends say I’m good at drawing, but I feel my skills lack anatomy and proportions of a human figure, so I mostly draw still life and very few portraits.

I found the Drawing Academy course and immediately understood that this is what I want – a good all-round drawing course where I can learn how to draw figures and portraits.

My Journey as a fine art painter

Hello to you all. My name is Judith Robinson. I’ve been teaching myself art for a number of years now. Trying all sorts of mediums. Now I have settled on oil portraiture and still life. Portraiture being my first passion. And I mean real passion I love it. I want to get very good at it.

Queen of the Dawn

I was drawn back into art when I was unable to work with M.E. Art became my only voice when I was unable to do anything else. It became my lifeline.

My name is Anna and I am a wife to a wonderful husband and mother to a lovely but often infuriating darling daughter.

Art is my place that is for me. I want to take my art to the next level and make more accomplished work. It is my dream that when my daughter goes to school next year that I will be able to be a “proper artist” and make works that sell.
