Art can give us a better understanding of our emotions and the world we live in. Even though some art pieces can be difficult to comprehend, they might provoke one to think and find his or her own meaning. Art is often connected to human emotions. In the process of creating art, artists express what they are concerned or curious about. In this way, they explore their own thoughts and feelings and at the same time encourage the public to engage in the journey of meaning-making.
Painting or drawing onto a textured surface is as old as painting itself. Ancient people used the natural contours of cave walls to help them recreate the animals that were so vital to their survival. The decoration of tombs, temples and churches required artists to paint onto plaster and wood. Contemporary artists continue to use the texture of a surface to help them convey added depth to their work. Valery Koshlyakov Valery depicts grand formal architecture on a monumental scale. But his use of roughly torn cardboard boxes, dripping paint and fast vigorous mark making plants these structures firmly into the modern frenetic through-away world. Anselm Kiefer Born just after the Second World War, Anselm's work addresses the issues faced by the post-war generation of Germans . The highly textured mixed media surfaces of his paintings shows an emotional but uncompromising and brave response to a dark legacy. John Piper used found papers and prepared textured surfaces in his seascapes of the 1930's. Illustrators also use prepared surfaces and collage. Two notable examples are Mark Hearld and Eric Carle.

With the invent of GPS technology and map applications, paper maps are waning in use - but they are an essential material to English artist Ed Fairburn, who uses them as the canvas of his detailed portraits. Fairburn's work is an imaginative incorporation of the human form and topography. He's used maps of places from all over the world. The winding layouts of streets and rivers are enhanced to form wrinkles, veins, and other features of his subjects' faces.

Adrian Deckbar was born and raised in New Orleans. She earned a BA in Painting and Drawing at the University of Louisiana (now ULL) in 1973. She then earned an MA in Painting and Drawing at San Francisco State University under the renowned photorealist artist Robert Bechtle. Later, at Tulane University, she received an MFA, also in Painting and Drawing. She has taught Painting and Drawing classes at Tulane University, The New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, and at San Francisco State University. She has also taught workshops including The Bascom in Highlands, NC, The Mississippi Art Colony, The Arkansas Craft School, and The Princeβs Foundation for Rebuilding the Environment in New Orleans, and Sketching in Provence, Umbria, and Northern Italy. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections in the US and abroad. She has received grants from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, the Pollack Krasner Foundation, the Louisiana Division of the Arts, and the Gottlieb Foundation. In 2008, Deckbar published a book of her work with a grant from Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation, entitled, Continuum: Moving Through A Still Frame. Deckbar is currently working on a new series of paintings titled Movie Stills. These new paintings depict women who are aware that they are objectified, yet mysterious, weary and yet defiant. Her incredible mastery of photo realism, combined with an awareness of the times we live in, and all the emotional weight that carries, finds her in a unique place in the art world.
Dear all, I am so proud to share the work of my students which I graded A* for the June 2020 Art IGCSE. Here we go! First set is from Keesha and for the Coursework (Paper 1) she did 'Changing Times' topic, taking her grandmother (Chinese Peranakan), mother (Indian) and youngest sister (Cindian) as her main subject matters for the creative process through out the Coursework journey. Coursework (Paper 1) 'Changing Times' Final Piece Externally Set Assignment (Paper 2) : 'Rush Hour' Final Piece ************************************** Second set is from Natasha and for the Coursework (Paper 1) she did 'Captured' topic, combining her passion in photography and painting-related media art. She decided to captured things inside her house, considering the Composition and adding in her image and the camera for her subject matters. She doesn't want to do Photography because she wanted to challenge herself in doing Painting-related media for her Coursework. Natasha's Coursework (Paper 1) 'Captured' Final Piece Natasha's Externally Set Assignment (Paper 2) : Front Cover Magazine Design titled 'Construction' Final Piece **************************************** June Series has been crazy with a lot of conflict regarding grades and such. One thing for sure, the pandemic is no joke! I decided to grade both of them an A* because I think they deserved the grade despite pandemic (lockdown/Mco), they both really put an extra effort in all the work, especially for ESA (Paper 2)! We communicate a lot with WhatsApp, online meet and we keep in touch from time to time and I AM SO SO PROUD OF THEM and they did well in both papers. Grade submitted to Cambridge was A* for both. Then, Cambridge lower a grade down for Natasha even without seeing her work! Luckily Cambridge made a U-Turn and agreed with grades submitted by the teacher. I graded Keesha's work slightly higher A* by considering the consistency showed in both papers. Natasha, I graded an A* as well because her ESA paper showed good progress despite she chose to do Design for the paper. ******************************************* I'll share more on Coursework Grade A soon. If you have any question you can email me at [email protected] or [email protected] or you can DM me at my Instagram acc @artandfeeda Thank you! x
