An art works from one of Olive-Harvey student artists.

This is a review of the work of Olive-Harvey student artist. I had an interview with this student artist on April 16th, 2009. During my interview with him, he showed me a lot of his art works. All the works he did look real to me when I tried to compare them with the original piece. Infact, there is no different at all. I guess he is doing a great job. He told me that he picked interest on this career at age five. He left it for a while and later came back to it. Now he is taking it as his major because he loves doing it. Here are some of his jobs.

Some of my Artwork

This is an art piece i did some time last year for an art class. I never did give it a title because I could never think of one. If you're having a hard time figuring out what it is its a picture of the american flag bleeding over a number of different flags. Clockwise the flags are those of Mexico , the Dominican Republic(missin emblem), Columbia, Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico & the Bahamas. The idea came from a documentary I saw called I Know Me where students who were born and partially raised in different countries were followed around to see which ones maintained their home values and beliefs. Needless to say many of the students no longer participated in cultural beliefs they once held before coming to the United States.

The idea of my piece was that there are people who were born in foreign countries who while there were very strongly involved in cultural beliefs but came to the States and no longer participated in those values. Just the same for children born in the United States to foreign parents, many dont take the time to learn about their natural culture. For instance people who dont speak their parents language, don't particiapate in age ceremonies, dont know the history of their flags or things of that nature. They basically become Americanized.
