Art F200X - Sydney Robertson

Hello everyone! 

Happy spring semester! My name is Sydney Robertson, and I am a senior, I am majoring in Homeland Security and plan to commission into the Air Force once I have graduated.  My husband and I just moved up here from Boise, ID and we live on Eielson, AFB. We are expecting our first baby here any day now as I am 39 weeks! 

My relationship to art is through my mom, grandmother and great grandmother. Both of them are watercolor artists and have created some amazing artwork. I however cannot paint or draw to save my life; we have many paintings that have been passed down in our family.

    My nephew is stationed at Eielson. I taught there in 1983 - 89. Great community. So wonderful to have artists in your family.

During this time period the Tokugawa Shogun ruled Japan from the urban style capital. Wide forms of art came from the Edo time period such as, screen paintings, scrolls, ceramics, textiles and woodblock prints.  The Great Wave off Kanagawa - 1831 The Great Wave off Kanagawa is a famous Japanese woodblock painting created by Katsushika Hokusai in the early 19th century. The wave print is apart of a series of other paintings called "Thirty-Six views of Mount Fuji" which shows the mountain from various different angles and views. The painting depicts a towering wave that is about to crash onto three small boats. I have always loved this painting and I have many different styles of it. The color and how sharp the waves, are some of my favorite features. I also love this painting for it shows y

Italian and Northern Renaissance Blog - The Garden of Earthly Delights

His painting style is more of a surrealistic, cartoon like style. Bosch learned how to paint from his grandfather and father. The painting is now hung in the Mueso Nacional Del Prado in Madrid Spain.  This painting caught my eye because it is a painting that I believe is very different from the rest of the Norther Renaissance painting that I was looking at. The three different wood pieces to this painting are the most intriguing to me. Each one is connected to the next but they all tell a very different story. The left piece seems to be more calm and relaxing. There are fewer people and more animals in their natural element. The middle piece seems to have the most going on, there are lots of people that are clothed and naked. Large group of animals that are
