A Little Bit About Me

Hey, my names Karina Le. I'm a senior at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Highschool. I've taken this class so that I can enhance my photoshop skills and computer skills. I would enjoy seeing what other artists see and hopefully will be able to create something of my own.

''The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist.''
- Eric Gil

The artwork done by Josh Sommers is truely unique. He sees the world in a different point of view. The way he portrays what he sees in his artwork is very eye-catching and different. An example of this would be his painting of ''Curtis Granderson Playboy Spread.'' Simple things such as roots growing out from the ground is enough to inspire Josh Sommers to create an amazing piece of artwork. After looking through a variety of artwork done by Josh Sommers I would have to say my favorite would be ''Blossoming.'' In this piece of artwork, I believe he tried to portray that everyone has a future, and everyone has a purpose in life.


I have read through the Studio Rules and agree to whatever is needed or required to keep this class
up and going!

"No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist."
- Oscar Wilde

The quote written by Oscar Wilde is a very powerfull quote. I agree to what this quote is saying because artists are able to see and find beauty in everything. If an artist was to create a piece of artwork from just what they see with the bare eye, it wouldn't make it any different. Though some artists go beyond that and create what they see, and that is what real art is about. Everyone sees the world in their own way, some express it in artwork and others express it in words.

  1. Karina, you've made a wonderful start. Your blog looks good and your response is very detailed. You seem to be a very analytical thinker which is fabulous.

    I am concerned that the image you added is not very clear. Did you pick a big enough file? Did you just grab the icon rather than the actual jpeg?


    A few grammar problems for you to fix are;
    1. paragraph 2 & 3 - see's should be sees as it is not possessive
    2. peice should be piece, should have been unlined in red to show you

    Make the edits please.
    MR
