Hi, my name is Maryam. I’m a 24 year old, American born artist from Palestine.
Art has a very special place in my life as I am both a teacher and a student in Turkey.
Some challenges I have been facing would be a knowledge of Islamic art and the capturing of Turkish culture and it’s Islamic influence (all technique + originality).
Hello there, I’m Sue, and I am currently a college student studying art.
To me, art is a careful cooperation of acquired skill and personal expression. Throughout my life, I’ve always felt a strong need to create artwork, both for the sheer fun of it, but also because I wanted my ability to improve. It wasn’t until college that I realized and ultimately decided that I should strive to make a career of my passion.
I’ve come to learn about many types and styles of art, but above all I admire the beautiful, classical artwork of the old masters. Unfortunately, I’ve found that as I study art in my classes, I don’t have the opportunity to improve my skills in the way I want. Other types of art like abstract, cartoons and stylized illustrations are very popular right now, and it seems like classical fine art is not getting the attention it very well deserves. For this reason, I am interested in the Drawing Academy.
From the collection of Van Gogh’s earlier works, the drawing Worn Out, completed in 1882, resonates the earnestness of the beloved artist Vincent Van Gogh.
We are confronted with a sketch of a Dutch farmer peasant. Drawn with pencil on paper, Van Gogh employed light strokes of graphite as well as bold lines to define the edges of the chair and the farmer’s pants. Crosshatching is also visible throughout the piece, giving a sense of texture, especially as seen on the dirt floor surface and the clothes. The entire composition is structured vertically with the main element being the man centered in the foreground in a rectangular fashion.
Hosein Mohamadi – M.F.A student of University of Tehran, 2016 B.F.A Shahid Chamran university of Ahvaz, 2011 diploma Korramabad Fine high school Fine Arts.
I took on to painting around 2010 as serious profession. Due I to the hardships that I have experience in my personal life subjects having to do with society and its main building block the human being captured my attention and interest in the concept of reality.
Reading the life Paul Cezanne, Rembrandt and Michelangelo has also being very inspirational to me, so I found my own way of painting to be in depicting the reality of the human condition from psychological view…
I’m Mahsa Najvan from Tehran, Iran. My education and qualifications include Bachelor of Arts, Interior Design, University of Shahid Beheshti, Tehran, and Avini Graduate Conservatory of Graphic Design.
I started painting professionally since 1998 under the supervision of prominent names like: Nafiseh Moeini , Mani Gholami and Mr. Malekshahi. Also, I’ve studied Miniature (Persian Painting) and I had an art exhibition last year.
Completed in 1865, the painting, Dan Les Bois, by the celebrated Swiss artist, Albert Anker, is a striking example of the serene naturalness found within the realism art movement.
I always wanted to be a portrait painter.
I learned mostly on my own to paint, but never learned to draw well.
It takes me a long time to get the likeness down.
I work day and night to improve my skills.
