Charlotte stabbed Marat and he died. She did not flee and was executed.  Movement: Jacques used neoclassicism for his art work. Neoclassicism is the name given to western movements in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theatre, music and architecture that draw inspiration from the "classical" art and culture of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome.  Jacques second most popular art is called "Oath of the Horati" (1784).

I have had a lot of time to work on my struggle project. It has been a struggle for me to do this because what I wanted to do is something that I know I didn't have enough time! I planned on sculpting some ribs and adding the extra 2 that I have, but I wasn't able to! I then decided to do a painting of ribs! I had a few different ideas of how to paint the ribs! I tried a few different things and everything I tried did not turn out the way I wanted them too! Since we have a new assignment I decide I would do my best even better because I did not finish it the way I would have liked too! I tried my best and I hope with what I have done! 

I had way to much trouble on our first assignment in art! It was about struggle. When I thought of struggle, my physical rib pain was my first thought! I decided to do something that involved ribs! I had an idea to sculpt ribs but then I give it a lot I thought and I knew that I wouldn't be able to do that! My second choice was to do a drawing of ribs and paint it but have the paint drip down the picture like it was sad! I tried doing that and it did not work the way I wanted to I decided to just paint it! I am gonna hand in hat I've got because I have spent most of my time doing different ideas an none of them turned out the way I wanted! 

I am in a group with Victoria and Chelsey. We have decided to do a picture frame, inside a picture frame etc...) We started out with a very easy design but decided to do something a little bit more difficult. The most challenging part that I think will be is cooperating with the weather. It has been snowing a lot and there is more to come! The place we chose to do this was the arena baseball field but there is too many snow machine tracks, so we now are planning to do it down at the marina! 

What is art?  I believe that art is anything that somebody draws, paints, sculpts or makes! Some people think certain drawing or painting are not art but others do. It's up to you as a person to decide what you think art is. Everybody has their own opinion on what is art.  What is in between?  I believe that imagination is in between. Each and every person can imagine beautiful places or objects that nobody else can see but themself. You can see it but nobody else can. Therefore it is in between being art and not being art.  What isn't art?  I believe that what you think is not art is personally just your opinion. People all have different opinions on what they think is art and what isn't. You choose what you think isn't art!
