Now..

That I have this figured out there will be a flood of posts! Yes, I am putting my homework off, but I am doing this for YOU. ;o) I'm loving this semester. Great apartment, awesome roomies, and the weather is great. The snow is starting to melt, and it's warm enough to go outside without a coat! (in the upper 30s, lower 40s) Classes, well I am taking a drawing class, art history 2, sacred art (studying the 7 major world religions and their art) Book of Mormon 2, and Children's Lit.
Right now, I'd like to share with you some of my favorite art works we have studied in Art History, and some I have just found. If you aren't comfortable with nudity, please close the window now. Haha.
There are just some things that when you see them hits you like a ton of bricks.


Titian, Venus of Urbino. This is just beautiful. She's real woman, not a skinny mini.

Dali, Woman with a Flower Head

Caravaggio, Entombment. Notice how the man hold Christ's legs is looking at you, inviting you into the scene.

Bosch, Garden of Earthly Delights

Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Slaying Holofernes. My favorite artist. She really had an interesting life.
