It is a test!


Do you already experience this test? You have no idea what you will do, maybe you experience this and you  overcome it. You will experience this when you  have no idea what is going on and somebody gave you a work and it must be impromptu or you don't care what will happen to you . It is so nervous at first right? But you will try to overcome or to finished it successfully. It can help us to improve and express what is in our mind, and can improve our self confidence as well. Impromptu  works is one of the test on your career if you have a fast knowledge or idea to have a better works and if will give you a best output, maybe if you like this you will be recognize as professional. 

I already experience this much, and I experience this last Thursday in LPU. We and my classmates have no idea what we will do. Because that morning theres a program, it is called as PRISSA or Private Schools Athletic Association, at that morning we have a game in our Filipino, it is called as Amazing Race, and we go around the schools to find the clues and theres a lots of people coming from different schools. We don't have an idea what is going on, and when my classmate texted us that our professor, Ms. Anna that we need to go in gym. When we got there, it is the opening of the PRISAA and it was held and hosted in LPU.


But, my classmate told us that we will draw in our sketch pad, and the is about whats happening in the event, and it must based in a action or moves. It is impromptu, you have no idea what you will draw because you will focused much in the event, it is little bit nervous because you have no idea, and the other students and maybe the officers wondering what we are doing that time. But when the event finished, I have a drawing and just need to polished. I successfully finished it and passed it before the deadline. Lesson learned, that you will finished it well as if you have a trust in yourself that you can do it.

It is the reality.



As we back to our discussion last week, I think that the most influential Art for us is the modern art. We all know what is art, even though we didn't have a talent in painting or drawing, if the art we know is in our heart we will have a good and a better result.I know and you know too that we grow in the art of modern and it is popular until now. Many of the artist now is basing on their experience or they based their work in what they saw or  what they imagine. If we noticed in the modern art, we see and recognize that it is in the reality or present happening now.

Realism was an artistic movement that began in France in the 1850s. Many paintings depicted people at work,  the changes  by the Industrial and Commercial Revolution.. The popularity of such 'realistic' works grew with the introduction of photography,  a new visual source that created a desire for people to produce representations which look “objectively real.”. In the visual arts, realists render everyday characters, situations, dilemmas, and objects, all in a "true-to-life" manner. The artists simply focused on what was happening in front of them.This exhibition brings together for the first time the work of 68 American painters, sculptors, and photographers who explored a new mode of modern realism in the years bounded by the aftermath of the Great War and the onset of the Great Depression.

Modern realism focused on showing everyday, activities and life. Modern realism "begins from the position that truth can be discovered by the individual through the senses" and as such "it has its origins. and received its first full formulation by Thomas Reid in the middle of the eighteenth century.Since the rise of modern art, realism, realist, or realistic, has come to be primarily a stylistic description, referring to painting or sculpture that continues to represent things in a way that more or less date Now we know now when the modern art discoveries, for me this is the most influential art until now and maybe in the future generation too.

Mysterious Girl.

File:Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci, from C2RMF retouched.jpg

 Do you know who is she? Why she create? and why she has no eyebraws and eyelashes? These are some questions that we like to answer. This girl is so mysterious to us, until now. When we see the picture at first, the first thing that comes to our mind is why she doesn't have eyebrows? Is it unfinished? As I research about Mona Lisa, I knew more about her, she is a oil painting on poplar wood, the portrait was started by Da Vinci in 1503 and took about four years to complete. As he finished the painting, there are a lot of controversies that he face, a lot of debates that he encounter. There are two biggest mysteries about Mona Lisa, these are her identity and her smile. There are lot of theories about the identity of Mona Lisa. The Italians call her La Gioconda, The French call her La Joconde,provoking many thoughts and theories about the Mona Lisa. Most experts now believe that she is Lisa del Giocondo, the third wife of a wealthy Florentine silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo.The title Mona Lisa simply means "Madam Lisa."

Still, the experts were confused about this kind of painting, there are a lot of theories that they discussed about her, they believe that she is the Duchess of Milan, Isabella of Aragon and they believe that this is a more recent thought that this is the feminine version of Da Vinci himself. Is she has no eyebraws? One of the scientist said that  it was not logical that Mona Lisa does not have any eyebrows or eyelashes but he discovered one hair of the eyebrow. Ohh! I was surprise when i saw this line, I cannot believe that this is true she has a eyebrows. Ofcourse, we know and we grow up that we believe that Mona Lisa doesn't have eyebrows this is her tagline, when we saw a person that have no such eyebrows we call them as like Mona Lisa. But now, I know now that that she has EYEBROWS. I cannot believe, but it's true! :)





 Another mysterious about this girl is her mysterious smile. The experts said that, the mystery behind the smile, art experts often refer to a painting technique called sfumato, which was developed by Da Vinci. In Italian, sfumato means "vanished" or "smoky," implying that the portrait is ambiguous and blurry, leaving its interpretation to the viewer's imagination. This technique uses a subtle blend of tones and colors to produce the illusion of form, depth and volume. When a person looks at the painting, the  focuses on her eyes, leaving the peripheral area on her mouth. Peripheral vision is less accurate and does not pick up details, so the shadows in her cheekbones augment the curvature of her smile.When the viewer looks directly at the woman's mouth, however, it does not pick up the shadows, and the portrait no longer appears to be smiling. Therefore, the appearance and disappearance of her smile really is an attribute of viewers' vision. This is one of the reasons why the painting has remained an enigma to art enthusiasts and perhaps the most famous painting in the world.
