Welcome

     Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca Martinez and I would like to welcome you to my blogging spot. I am a psychology major and I am attending University of Alaska Fairbanks for my second semester. I decided to take this path, because I am a recovering drug addict and I believe I have a great chance of helping people. I have not decided exactly where I would like to go with my major, I just know people need someone who shares empathy with them. On my free time I enjoy playing horror-based video games, or any game really, but those are the best.

   


    I have what feels like a more indirect relationship to art. I have taken art classes before; such as, drawing and sculpting, and I got more attached to ink pen drawings and street art. I do own some artwork done by Thomas Kinkade, thanks to my mother (she owns lots of his work). They are a set of “teacup kittens” with his artwork painted onto the cups, they are really quite beautiful. I have never been to an art museum before, but I still look forward to the day when I do get to go.

    My closest friend whom I have known since high school has been sober for over 40 years. Yes! You can help others. The second floor of the Museum of the North is a "art museum". You should go.

    Thank you for sharing your story. I find it admirable that you conquered your addiction and are now majoring in an occupation that allows you to help others with situations they may be going through.

    The picture that you chose to incorporate in your blog is very enchanting. Do you enjoy watching Disney movies?

Banksy Art Analysis

 The piece of artwork I chose to analyze is Banksy's 'Keep your coins, I want change'. I chose this piece, because I have loved it ever since I have first seen it (2017). Banksy is an unidentified street artist from the UK who creates works of art relating to the world's problems. I have connected with many pieces of his work and find his messages to be incredible. According to research I have done; another artist, Meek, has said to have done the same painting. The difference being Meek's work was not done on a red brick building, it instead had red letters on the 'sign'. Comparison: Banksy VS. Meek The stenciled image itself is in black and white, with (what looks like) blue letters, and it is painted on a bright red brick building, these colors alone are enough to draw someone in. From what I can tell, the painting is of a male figure, in dark clothing with a white cup, "begging" for change like a homeless person would. Except, the type of change
