I chose this photo for my self portrait mainly because I could not get any other pictures of mine to upload to my computer. I always try to keep a smile on my face the best I can no matter what is going on in my life, but I really do like this photo because it was taken during my sisters wedding which was a very exciting time for our family. I am a very big family oriented guy so it is always nice to see a picture of me with a big smile when I am with the family.

This Video is a True Work of Art
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GXa2jOa7JE
T-Pain ft. Chris Brown- Freeze
This video really is a unique and creative piece of art. Not only does this video incorporate many different colors, it also uses creative shapes and transitions to keep your eyes moving in many different ways. The effects that they have created with all the lines, shapes, and objects are extremely crazy and keep you interested and hooked to the video the entire time. I chose this video because it is just out of the ordinary and something new catches my eye every time I watch it that just amazes me.

Film That is a Work of Art
"SEVEN POUNDS"
This was a very inspirational film to watch and I learned a lot from it. The role that Will Smith plays in this film was absolutely amazing and I believe that just by having him in it truly made it a work of art. After killing 7 people, 1 being his wife, in a freak car accident caused by his cell phone he looks to redeem his self by drastically changing the lives of 7 people that he does not even know. When he has his plan in order to help everyone out he is not going to let anything get in his way. But he did not realize that he was going to meet someone that would transform him along the way and cause him to fall in love with her. This film is really eye opening because when he makes a mistake that he will never be able to forget he does not just sit around and feel sorry for himself, instead he designs a plan that will help himself get a little closure as well as help out many other people that are in dire need of help in their lives. I loved watching this film and it shows that helping out others truly is fulfilling.

This is a video of Hinder-Without You
This is a song that I really enjoyed listening to when it first came out. It came out when I was having some ups and downs in my relationship and it always helps me to just remember not to dwell on the past and to just enjoy life. This song does fit with me very well because just like the lyrics "I never thought that I would say Im fine without you." When a relationship is over you really do get a chance to see yourself differently and sometimes in the end you can realize that it is truly what is best for you.
Meet this Artist I Know
"El Capricho"
"Casa Mila"
All three of these extraordinary pieces of architecture were created by the famous modernist architect Antonio Gaudi. Antonio was born in Reus, Spain in 1852 and he attended school there and in Tarragona. His exposure to nature at an early age is what influenced him to use natural shapes in his later works. Gaudi was not exactly outstanding as a student but he did do exceptionally well on his "trial drawings and projects". Antonio received the title of an architect in 1878. He was very fortunate to have many loyal clients to support him since he had a very unique and individualized form of art. Gaudi had a very unfortunate death. Since he was working on the Segrada Familia so hard and so long he didn't have time to talk to reporters or have his picture taken. On June 7, 1926 Gaudi ended up getting hit by a car and because of his rugged look cab drivers were reluctant to pick him up in fear that he would not be able to pay the fee. He was eventually taken to a hospital for the poor since know new who he was. Antonio Gaudi died 3 days later on June 10th.
"Segrada Familia"

Art can be displayed and viewed in many different ways and by many different people. Dancing is a very creative style of art that can bring many different personalities together. The emotions and movement of the dancers can bring out many different emotions in the viewer, just as a painting or body sculpture would do. Dancers have to spend a lot of time coming up with their routine and perfecting it exactly like an artist would. Dancing has been a way for people to express themselves for a very long time and over the years we have developed many different dancing techniques. This was a very funny but interesting video that goes through almost the entire history of dance. It is amazing to look at and realize how many of these dance moves we have actually seen growing and tried to duplicate.
