My three favorite artworks are the "Imagining America" landscape,  my stencil, and my inkblot. To begin with, I think my landscape was awesome because I was able to fully complete each layer. Similarly to the stencil, I liked the fact that I had an original message to portray. My landscape was colorful and unique. Moreover, my stencil was well done because it had cute animals that went together with the text. When I printed my drawing, the figures were well defined. Lastly, my inkblot was attractive due to the abstract designs and form it had. The colors I used to trace the inkblot  were bright and contrasted with the pastels and hues of blues of the inkblot. In short, these three art pieces are great.

"In Piece: The Women at Pinewood Gardens"
                                   Becca Bernstein

    This is a painting by American artist, Becca Bernstein. Her work is groundbreaking because it depicts the reality of humans. To me, it means that it is part of life to grow old. It's only natural that we will lose our agility, strength, and appearance up to a certain point. Rather than just a portrait, this artwork shows the personality of an elderly lady. She looks happy and peaceful. I'm glad that she doesn't paint youthful personalities. This is  because even though in the painting the subject will never get old, in reality it's a different story. She portrays how fragile we all are despite what we say. Overall, she is a great artist that has changed how we view others and ourselves.

           A website I always go to is Yahoo! I enjoy visiting this website because I can check my email, get informed about the current news, the weather, and search just about anything. This website allows me to do different things at the click of a button. Due to this, I have it as my homepage when I start my internet browser. The first thing I do is scroll through the various news pieces. I like the variation of political, celebrity gossip, health, world news, and even bizarre stories. I click on a headline I want to read or watch the news video. After that, I check my email with the "Open Quickview" option. Additionally, I check my other emails through this website and have access to Facebook. Finally, I search for a subject that migh t be in my mind. Yahoo! is part of my identity because it feeds me with cultural currency of daily events. It's better than waiting for the news to come on. In short, Yahoo! makes me feel safe and comfortable.
