Different Forms of Art in New Orleans

Any time post Art (Inner)
Art is something that takes time and skill to tune. I see art everyday in places I go. Every place I went in New Orleans had art. Every piece of art had unique taste. Some art work was perfect for the inner nerd in me. One of the few female artists on the street was selling her work and I wish I got her name because she was awesome. The art piece had the Smash Bros. characters at a table. I thought it was cute and would be perfect for one of my friends. I would say it would look great in my room, but it does not go with my current color scheme. I liked the picture because it was a piece that reminded me of friendship and being together. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The beauty of art is that it can be a visual representation of emotions and experiences.
There were tons of art galleries in the city. Many of them are unique just like their pieces. There were a few pieces by Esther Barend that I enjoyed. A lot of her pieces had females in them. The pictures all look like they consisted of mosaic texture, but they were painted. I feel that these pictures mean that women have so many things going on in their lives. Even though they have all these things in life, but they can hold themselves together. Women should be strong and not let people take advantage of them. I loved her work, I just wish I was able to afford it.



Anytime Post (Outer)

New Orleans has so much history and this history connects to art work. The art is in the architecture, parks, stores, and art galleries. The galleries over the buildings have trellises and fencing that have its own art them. The St. Louis Cathedral had a ton of vary beautiful pieces of art on the walls. They were the stained-glass windows about New Orleans and Jesus. The Convent had a piece art that was created by the whole following when it was first started. This piece of art was beautiful because everyone pitched in and gave sacred stones and metals to help create it. Another Piece that was nice was this acrylic painted tree that was in one of the galleries. I believe the texture was created from plaster put on the canvas and painting over or using thicker blobs of the thick paint to put on the piece. The tree leaves were orange like my hair and the trunk was a light brown. The background was blue like the sky. It was very beautiful. The piece of art I found everywhere in the city was that blue dog. They never had the name of artist posted where it was at. The city is full of so many animals and it is no surprise that here is a lot of art. I love it because I do not think there is enough appreciation for animals in our daily lives. I love some of the pieces that have the pieces of agate and other precious stones connected to them. The pieces were created by James Vilona, they were functional pieces. There was am agate lamp that was very pretty and would match my room, but I could not afford it. Art was a part of many of the things in my daily life here in New Orleans. It was a great experience seeing a lot of it.
