Introduction

 

Hi my name is Marisa Quintana. I am a first year but I graduated high school with my associates so I am technically a third year. I am majoring in Art Education, that's not originally what I wanted to do but CSU doesn't offer any culinary programs. I plan on using my degree to teach middle school or high school art and later on go back to school for culinary arts. My hobbies and interests are sports, art, poetry, dancing, and honestly trying anything new, I'd like to say that I'm adventurous. In high school I played volleyball, basketball, and soccer. Another fun fact about me is that I am very intrigued by skeletons, they are one of my favorite things to draw or paint  as well as the style grunge.
    The art work that I chose a piece called the Artifice by Courtney Leonard. This piece was made by coiled clay then fired and glazed to give it its final look. This piece was inspired by a man made reef system that we use to encourage the growth of reef ecosystems. This piece attracted me because of the shape and the texture of the coils, in the beginning I though it looked more like a cocoa bean. I really liked this piece because it was the first piece I saw that broke the stereo type of a flat workspace.

    Hi, Marisa. I was going to start out by asking if you would bake me something chocolaty, but that's probably not the way to make friends. I hope you eventually find the time to follow your dream of culinary school, though. The artwork you chose is not only interesting sculpturally, but also culturally and environmentally. This piece has an important story to tell from the artist's hands to the final destination of the sea. I love when art collides with function.

    Hi, Marisa!

    I really liked the art piece you chose. It really does break the stereotype of needing a flat workspace to create something amazing. I am so sorry to hear that you had to change your career plans because of the lack of culinary program here at CSU-P, hopefully one day you can go to Culinary school! It's very neat that you're interested in skeletons, too.

    Nice to meet you!

Capital of a Column

Capital of a Column       I chose this piece from Persia called the Capital of a Column. This piece really caught my eye because I thought that the idea of two front halves of the same animal would have a meaning, story, or had to be some kind of symbol for something. This piece's importance was to show power or the depiction of power, this piece was said to sit on top of a beam to support a wooden roof 30 to 40 feet in the air, as you can see in the picture that is what the divot is for. In the video that I watched for this piece it was said that pieces of work like this were used to intimidate the enemy or outsiders including Egypt and Greece. This particular piece was most likely to be placed in  or somewhere near the king's temple or throne to show that he was of higher riches and of higher power, basically it was used to make others feel small and powerless around the king. this piece was made of stone which is not normal for the location it was discov...

Black figure lekythos

  Black figure lekythos While researching Greek art this vase automatically caught my eye out of all the pieces. I chose this piece because I think it is so interesting that in such an early time era pieces of art were created like this. This piece is so interesting to me because of the detail in the painting as well as the shape of the vase, the detail in the horse's body and the proportion of the body parts and the face on the man are what really caught my eye because it is not accurate but you know exactly what is going on. This vase was most likely made of clay or stone and finished and painted with pigmented glazes and colors. The purpose of this piece is for show, this piece also shows something called inscription which was a way of writing, this piece most likely is telling a story. There are many other pieces similar to this one that are used for different things like storing water and other essentials but are nowhere near as fancy. The art of inscription is a form of writi...
