Olympia
Made by Édouard Manet

The title of this painting is “Olympia” and the artist that produced this magnificent piece of art is Édouard Manet.

The artist was born in Paris, France. He died in 1883 at age 51 in Paris, France. I’m assuming he started producing his art in the 1860s because that is when some of his early piece were dated. Some of his other popular artwork are “The Luncheon on the Grass” and “A Bar at the Folies-Bergère”.

The painting is installed at Musée d’Orsay, Paris. I believe people still can go to Paris to see the painting. It has not been displayed in more than one place. It is a piece of visual art. The painting is an oil on canvas piece.

The theme of this artwork would be sexual independence. In this painting, I see a white naked woman and a black woman, I believe she’s a slave, handing her a bouquet of flowers. The painting does convey the theme well because the white woman in the painting is naked and has a certain look on her face like she’s carefree about her disposition. The theme was perfectly conveyed, didn’t need any extra to convey it.

I can make many connections between the theme of this painting and my personal life. Something I’ve experienced in connection to the theme was simply trying to find myself out and finally accepting my body for what it was. The painting accurately represents my experience. There are no other connections I would like to talk about to my personal life on this painting.

Welcome back Briana the Barbie's weekly blog, I know it's been a long while since I've posted about one of my beautiful creations but now I am back at it and no more waiting. This week I've started a piece of a garden of flowers. I chose flowers simply because I love flowers and when I'm mad they calm me down. First, I picked out of wooden canvas and used a brand new saw that Room 13 got. Once I got the perfect size, I picked up a pencil and started to sketch all sizes and types of flowers.  Something about this project that went really well was using the new saw. I definitely liked the new saw better instead of the old saw because it was way more easier to use. And I didn't need my teacher's, Amy, help that much. One part of the project that was a struggle was drawing different types of flowers. I only know how to sketch tulips and the little white garnish flowers that they be putting on the corsage for girls for prom. Also, I would say making the

Giving Birth to my World (Finished)

Hey it's me, your favorite blogger, Briana Carter. Welcome back to my first FINISHED piece, this week in Room 13 I was able to complete this piece. So, this week my exact plans for this didn't go exactly as planned, instead of spray painting the cotton balls I ended up using black pom poms. I cut the pom poms in half, then hot glued them on my canvas, then I added purple glitter to her hair just to add some "spice". Gluing on the pom poms as her hair went surprising well, I wish she had the 4c hair texture but the pom poms make it look like she got 4c hair blow dried out lol. I also just the overall look of my finished piece and I'm content with it. The only struggle was putting the glitter in her hair. I used black paint over the black pom poms to act as adhesive for the glitter, and I hated it. Then, I got a suggestion from my advisor and she had me brush out the paint over the pom poms, and it came out great. This week in class I just focused on her hair a
