About the blog
I choose do this topic, as I feel that not much emphasis is put into African art. I believe the blog will provide a database at which individuals can witness the authentic pieces of art within the African continent. Art pieces will be elaborated in order to not only grasp on how each individual artist uses their art to allude to issues such as racism, sexism , political inequalities but to share their perspectives of Africa through its diverse culture thus bringing individuals together.
Without Art the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable
- George Bernard Shaw
The White RoseWhite Rose So much depends upon a white rose, its large petals endlessly Gleaming, Behind a shattered glass its stem a Blossoming green, illuminating the rustic yet broken pot at which it lays its thorns plump demising the drastic scene behind it its bud, revealing the white flutter about to spring from its green Blanket absorbing the smallest light the room can offer and all together, the white rose waits... Through the portrayal of a white rose, my intentions of writing this poem were to allude to the importance of art in our sometimes dark, silencing and broken society. Reflecting on my previous perspective of art, I later came to learn that the smallest yet most impactful objects that are easily taken for granted can be the most important, especially in communicating. Individuals may refrain from expressing themselves as they feel that what they have to say will be seen as inferior compared to what is taking place around them. Although, Art enables one to present their ideologies freely and provide a wide platform for others to also present themselves. The conclusion of my poem was the most important to me seeing that it, an individual has to truly grasp on the meaning of an art piece for it to have an affect on them. I believe within the time someone tries to unravel its meaning that the piece of art will become the catalyst of a new and brighter perspective thus the juxtaposition of the rose bud. |
