I've never before thought about using art to describe myself.My personality is as eclectic as a good fruit bowl. I would say that I am usually bright and sweet like an orange. But, I have my days when I am as tart and abrasive as a pineapple!
My favorite type of art is art created by children. Like this piece, "Fruit Bowl" by Marisbel5 (artsonia.com) It's not that I love kids, in fact unless they are related they usually drive me nuts. Perhaps, it's because my own artistic talents haven't evolved since about 5th grade!
This oil painting is by the famous Zhoukai, of Beijing. It is titled "Sisters going home catching rain". The only way that this painting could better represent my life would be by including a third sister. I love the image of the sisters weathering a storm together as they climb a steep staircase. It is very symbolic of my own life.I find it interesting that as I examine art to compare it to my own life I find myself looking closer at details, asking questions, and wondering about what the artist was thinking. For example, is the girl putting the umbrella up or down? Which sister is older? I would love to see the expressions on their faces- but viewing them from the back adds a much different feeling to the piece.
I chose this image of a Clochán because I am hardworking. Imagine how hardworking the Irish men that built these huts during the Bronze Age must have been. I surely haven't built myself a stone hut, but I work hard everyday at school, at work, and at home building a life for myself.
I had to include a map because some of my greatest ambitions and dreams include traveling around the world. Maybe I should have chosen a cruise ship or an all inclusive resort...
I'll leave my options open and generalize using the whole darn planet!
I hope that the images I have chosen "paint a picture" of my personality for you. I look forward to seeing what other students choose.

I really like how well you described yourself through the artwork.
I especially love the fruit painting.
I think you did a wonderful job.
Wow you did a fantastic job of not only finding aazing art, but in how you used the art to give such a detailed analysis of your personality! I really loved th stone hut and how you looked at it as not only an architectural piece, but also as a symbol of hard work and detailed effort. The fruit bowl was a very clever way to put into words how you can be one more than one flavor as a person. I can tell that you are definitely an individual in everything you do and most obviously a very intelligent person.
I like your eye view.
I highly understand that you want to travel around the world. What a fantastic dream you have!
I love materials too. I think I like texture surface.
I think you have special eye view for art.
