"Narrative Digital Collage"

This collage represents the nightmare of a teenager who used to disobey her mother and one night while she was sleeping she had an awful dream. It was sunny outside, and Martha decided to do excersice. Then she started to walk around her neighborhood and  she ended up at the other side of the town by the river. While she was looking her reflection on the water, she fell into the river but fortunately she could reach a branch and stay there until somebody could rescue her. Minutes later, she noticed that there was a gigantic snake underneath her trying to bait her. At that moment Martha was so desperate and nervous that she imagined her dog who was poisoned three years ago trying to kill the snake so that she could safe, but it did not work. Then she begun to hallucinate, and she saw cupid since valentine's day was coming also trying to kill the snake with his arrow, but his attempt to rescue her was unsuccessful. In the other hand, somebody was walking around the river and call the rescue guy to safe Martha from the malevolent snake. When the rescue guy arrived to the scene, he was more than pleased to help her but when he saw the snake he got sock because he was afraid of snakes. So, Martha's opportunities to be rescued from the snake where somehow disappearing. At that point Martha thought that she would be eaten by the snake, but a man just appeared on his canoe. When the man noticed what was going on, he was on his way to rescue Martha but suddenly from nowhere the canoe got on fire, and he had to jump into the water. Finally, after a couple of hours, it was getting dark and Martha truly felt that was her end but when she was about to fall from the branch, her mother woke her up because she was late for school.

Bad Art

Bad art is obviously something that may not look so pretty. I think that those messy drawings where there is not an specific point to look at it is bad art. Even though it could have another significance to the artist, the public may not think the same. Also when people try to steal an  artistic idea from from the others I will definitely say that person is not a good artist although he/she creates the most amazing drawing I will grade it as a bad art because an artist must be original. 
For me, this picture is meaningless because in the way that I see it, it's just shapes with colors.

Good Art



As it names says it, good art is something that must be or look good. I personally believe that no everybody have the ability to create good art for the public but also for themselves. Art is everywhere, even in the kitchen field because  chefs create good art when they decorate their dishes. Furthermore, we notice that a piece of art is good when we first look at it, and it causes an impact on us, and we just want to keep looking at it. For me that's what I consider good art. Also a good piece of art as long as it does not look ridiculous is when the artist creates his/her painting, sculpture, etc. with inner passion because they just want to express their sentiments through art. However, since we live in an opinionated world, we as individuals have different opinions about good art because when something looks good to me it does not necessarily means that it looks good to the others.

This picture may represent that the artist likes animals, but as I just said about the different taste of art, somebody that do not like animals especially dogs will disagree with my point of view of what good art is.
