Irene Castle's work struck me as an artist because she was the first overall major dancer in the world. She created many new styles, and performed them all in her very unique way that represented itself as likeable.

The most surprising person that I have come across has definately been Margaret Sanger. She was a scientist who helped discover about birth control. She also created the organization called Planned Parenthood, which is still in fact around today. I feel as though Margaret Sanger really did alot to educate our people. She taught everyone about the importance of safe sex and how to control becoming pregnant when you are not really ready. I had never realized that a scientist discovered all of this stuff about birth control. Margaret Sanger really had a huge impact on our society.

Irene Castle struck me the most because she was a beautiful dancer and she was commited to what she loved doing the most. She also created a trend hair style known as a ''bob''. The pictures that I've seen of her were very pretty. She reminds me of myself. We both love dance and we both are pretty. LOL! She's a role model even though she lived a long time ago I admire her.
ReplyDeleteTHATS MINE UP THERE!!!

Jean Geroge Noverre's work struck me as extraordinary. As a dancer, she has to display her work through her movements and as a writer, I have to display my work through writing stories. I think she strikes me as so amazing because we are similar in a such a strange way. She is very inspiring and her work is phenomenal. I think she is a brilliant artist and does her work well.

Coleman Hawkins was the artist that stuck in my mind the most. As i read his biography I was enamored by his musical talent. I also noticed his determination as an African American artist in that time period. Many people had trouble accepting his talent based only on his racial background. I admire his determination and talent. The musical pieces that he posted on his blog were also fantastic.

Lloyd Loar struck me the most! Creating an instrument is really COOL and has inspired many others I'm sure to create there on music and instruments. Lloyd Loar and Bessie Smith have allot of things in common they both are interested in music and were able to be successful during the same era. I think it was harder for me, but we both were able to follow our dreams which really struck me that during this time no one gave up although it was hard. Without the technology we have today and the nature Loar used to create a instrument is really interesting.

ReplyDeleteThe artist that struck me the most was Anna Pavlova, she struck me because she was an amazing dancer and today in the dancing world you hear many a refrences back to her, and I think thats pretty sweet and she was like my character they were both independent dancers in the world war I era who had alot set in their lives and achieved their goals. I really liked this one:)

Even though she was not in my era I thought she did a beautiful job with her blog. Irene Castle made her blog look like it was from her time and matched her pictures and content to the layout and colors of the blog. She had a lot of information and followed all the steps correctly. Also, she made it fun for us to go on her blog by adding gadgets like polls and more. I thought it was creative how she added a video bar so we could watch her dance. I actually enjoyed going to her blog; it didn't make me feel like I was doing a project or homework, but instead like I was doing something enjoyable. I hope that after this project she keeps working on this blog or makes another one. I would love to keep looking at her work and I learned a lot in the process.

I really enjoyed looking at the blogs of Edgar Allen Poe and Edvard Munch. I really love all of Edgar's books that have read. Last year I read The Tell Tale Heart and Cask of Amontillado. They are two of my favorite short stories we read in english. When I saw Edvard's Paintings i was blown away. I thought that every single painting of his were breath taking. I loved all of the women he painted and I really thought he captured the emotions beautifully. I really do want all of his art hanging in my house. I wish i could see more work of theirs!

I think Margaret Sanger's work struck me the most. Margaret Sanger to me is a lady that I feel stood strong through it all. As I read her interview I seen how she kept going even though she went though some horrible things such as her mom passing away, and going to jail, TWICE! She was a very great scientist that study on birth control, and also made up a group foundation called planned parenthood. I feel Margaret struck me the most because I really seen eye to ye with her.
ReplyDeletePhyllis Wheatley. She faced a lot in her lifetime, especially because she was a slave during the Revolutionary era in America. She was one of the very few slaves who was taught to read and write. By reading her poetry you get a sense of her feelings and her observations in the society she lived in. She wrote this one poem about the deaths of two of her children, and you can actually feel her emotions when reading it. I think she was a very giftted and talented poet, and that it is miraculus to live in a society like the one she lived in, being a person of color, or a woman, or anyone who was seen as inferior by another race or group of people and still be able to succeed in your artistic work. It isn't easy because thier is always going to be someone who thinks they are superior to you because they are of a certain group, and many people have and will face discrimination during their lifetime. It's like something that some people would think: "Wow, they stepped above that and they are so successful." I think Phyllis Wheatley was an amazing poet. S.P.W. bell 1
ReplyDeleteDaniel Hale Williams (Scientist) was a very interesting person for me. He was raised on the streets, and lived off his neighbors. He worked in barber's shops when he was old enough, and eventually raised enough money to go to med school and receive and M.D. He performed the first successful heart surgery. What made it unique was that he was African-American, a race that was often discriminated against at the time. He, like my artist, was probably subject to various forms of antipathy. My artist was from South America, and spent much time in Europe. It shows that race has nothing to do with talent.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart struck me in a way because he was a genius. I enjoyed listening and looking at the music on the blog site he made. It was very intricate and I can only wonder how someone made music so beautiful. I am not an musician, but I have always found instruments interesting. And the fact that Mozart was a genius at such a young age is very impressive and cool.

Of course I feel I struck myself the most , but since I'm not an option I would probably have to say Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia . Just like me and father Elena and her father were very close. He pushed her to get what he felt and believed she needed. With the help of her father she accomplished a very great thing , getting her doctorate from Padua . She was the first woman in the world to be rewarded a doctorate degree. How can you not respect that? It's just so amazing how fine women like Elena and myself can accomplish great things as we did . For her great accomplishment I feel this showed the enlightenment era that women do mean a lot in the world of society , politics and anything else, she basically told the world women can do anything just as well as a man can...maybe even better. That is who I feel struck me the most. PBL 9
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed Bach as long as Ive listened to his music. He has a perfection to his work that no one else has really come close to, almost like his melodic lines were improvised (which some of them were). He was also a master of counterpoint, with the magical ability to make one violin sound like two playing in unison. His work continues to inspire me as an artist and musician, and will continue to for as long as I play it.

I have adored Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart since I knew of his compostions. His concerto's have the sweetest melodies and his operas are beautiful! As an artist, his works inspire me to continue playing as a musician. He composed hundreds of symphonies, operas, piano concertos, and orchestral works in his lifetime. Several of Mozart's cadenza's were composed and performed by Joseph Joachim, a violinist in my artist's (Wilma Neruda) era.
ReplyDeleteSo, it was no question whose work struck me the most. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is undeniably one of the most influential musicians we will ever see!

ReplyDeleteI love Ludwig von Beethoven's work! As a pianist, I have been exposed to him and I have studied him, and I really enjoyed reading his blog on here! His compositions mean so much, they're so deep. He had so many emotions warring inside of himself, especially near the end of his life, once he had lost his hearing. It is so amazing that he was able to continue composing without his hearing. Simply amazing. I really enjoy his music, both to play and to listen to.

Phillys Wheatly got my attetioned when I saw that she was a slave. For someone who has accomplished so much for a slave and woman is breath taking. She is a very brave and bold woman. She seems very strong minded. Her poems are so beautiful and well worded with every detail. Wheatly is a very talented and was born with a pen in her hand.

ReplyDeleteI must say that Thomas Jefferson's work struck me. It's not so much his work, although it was nice, its more that I never knew he was an artist before a President. I never would have expected someone like him to have planned to been an artist, and then ending up in the Oval Office. And since I too am an artist, it helps me to appreciate his work. Maybe he designed the White House blueprints?! Who knows?
ReplyDeleteTL 7
Oh, only one. Well okay. I guess one of the artists that struck me in some way is mozart. The way that man took things around and inside him at age 10 to 12, he was great. Also as a fellow pianist, I would one day truly love to play one of many of his great pieces he composed. He was great, and well known for what he did.

I like the musicians work a lot, Mozart is on the top, and then followed by Beethoven. Musicians are very talented and moved the world into the future of music and showed a new light of art.
ReplyDeleteDJ bell 7
The work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was very appealing to me and to my artist. They both lived in the same era and in the same country at one point. Their styles of music are very similar and also very different. His music made me think of the ways similar artists can be different at the same time, using different styles and types of music. Also, i just enjoy listening to his music, it is very intricate compared to other artists.

The work of Adelaide Labille-Guiard reminded me of how my artist, when composing and performing a piece, imagined that he was painting a picture.
ReplyDeleteIf the music was gloomy and frigid then an idea would appear of a painting which displays the same thing. Many pieces of music have stories behind them and it takes skill to be able to move people through the beginning, middle and end.

one artist who's work really stuck out to me would be bessie smith because she had alot of barriers and hardships in her life time and some how seemed to manage and conquer it all.vb-a1
ReplyDeleteOne artist that really stuck out in my head was Kiki de Montparnasse. Kiki seemed to be a fun-loving, easy-going kind of person and she was great at what she did. She was a beautiful woman and she never let anything get her down. She lived a life of hardships, yet she was constantly using her wit to make us chuckle, turning all the bad stories about herself into "Oopsy-daisy" moments. I really loved how she was able to live her life to the fullest and never regret her actions. I thought that her wonderful personality showed clearly in all the works she modeled for.

My favorite artist is Edgar Allan Poe, he is a PHENOMENAL writer. I personally read his book, "Tell-Tale Heart" and LOVED IT! He builds A LOT of suspense in his stories and makes them interesting. I also read his book "The Cask of Amontillado" which was another AMAZING story. I guess I like suspense books and scary books. That is exactly how Edgar Allan Poe makes his books and thats what I like.
ReplyDeleteNG 7
I have ALWAYS been a fan of Edgar Allan Poe's work. His poems and short stories are so delightfully dreadful. Of course, considering his circumstances, I'm not very surprised he acted/wrote that way. Hah!

Henry Thomas Alken.His work struck me because well to be honest i don't know.When i see certain types of art pieces something sticks out to me.Whether its the way its painted or the way its organized.Sometimes i don't know what sticks out to me in paintings I just have this weird sense,I cant really explain it that;s why no one understands the way i make my drawing they may look angry and death like but I'm a very happy child and any one who meets me can tell i don't put on a facade.My art and the way i live my life is very different.I guess you can say that i chose this painter because i really like his paintings to be honest and trust me i don't like everyone's art.

ReplyDeleteWell I think Coleman Hawkins because we both share something in common like beening wind instruments, also I'm the King of Swing and he is the Father of Tenor Saxophone.
ReplyDeleteSamuel Hannaford strikes me as interesting, really because I see his buildings everyday, such as the Westwood methodist church. I'm not even christian, and I see it all the time. It's beautiful, along with music hall. I wish more buildings were that beautiful. I'm just glad my dad's neighborhood is full of the beautiful, detailed buildings. There are so many boring buildings, seeing beautiful buildings is lovely.

An artist that struck me with their work was Jose Cuneo. His art drawings of night and day skies are amazing to me. The reason why I feel it stood out more to me was because they were realistic but very creative also.He used so much detail to bring out the emotion and feeling. To make it seem more real. So i give him two thumbs up!

I think Coleman Hawkin's work struck me the most. I find him interesting because of the influence he left in the world of jazz music.I find it interesting how young he was when he got into the professional world. Being a fan of jazz myself, I enjoy reading about the history and key influential players in the genre. I feel that knowing their work and history can help an aspiring musician like myself do better in their playing.

The artist that really struck me was Ludwig Von Beethoven. His work was truly amazing. To think that one man could create such amazing music is mind blowing.

Out of all of the work that was posted up on this blog, I thought that Nicolo Paganni(forgive me if im spelling the name wrong) was one of the most creative artists I have seen. He was depicted as a demond which really intrigued me.
ReplyDeleteRH7
The artwork of Jose Cuneo struck me in the way he illustrates his artwork. He really puts his own twist on his view of the world surrounding him. This is visible on his "night sky " painting, he takes the realism out and uts his own views of it. A true artist indeed he is.

I was very interested in Bessie Smith and her work. She seems like a truly remarkable person and made very beautiful music through her lifetime. She had to overcome many hardships, like poverty and being an alcoholic, at a very young age. On top of that, it was very hard to be a successful entertainer as a black woman at that time, yet she made it to the very top! I was very impressed that not only did Bessie sell 2 million copies of her album in just one year, but she was also the highest payed black entertainer at that time. Most of all, Bessie's music is just great!

A scientist that really struck me was Albert Einstein. His work was so advanced for the time, and still is today. Rob told me that nobody to this day has been able to really understand what Einstein did. They know what some of his stuff is, but they don't know how to apply it.

One special artist that struck me in an inspiring way was George M Cohan. Cohan was extremely talented. Cohan was an actor, songwriter, playwright and producer. He was in charge of the productiosn that he worked on. As an actor and songwriter myself, I would like to be a playwright and producer also. I would love to be in charge of my own productions.

One artist that really struck me was Kiki de Montparnasse. My artist Mary Pickford has striking similarities to Kiki. They were both from poor families and started working as a kid. Both of them were such great people with such great talent that on their first attempt in their business they instantly got hired. Also Kiki is obviously an excellent artist and painter

I think that Mata Hari struck me because of what she was. She was a spy and a dancer. You don't see that very often, a famous dancer/ spy. My artist faught in the war while she was runing around dancing and spying. The only similaritie we really have is that our deaths were odd, she was executed and mine was stabed in the neck with a pen... WEIRD... D.B. 1
