Three Minute Fiction

Of all the stories I read on the NPR, website, the one I enjoyed most was called "Why I'm Here." I thought it was a really cool way for the girl to portray her emotions. She talked about her Ma's life and everything that her Ma did, and at the end, it all tied in to how she felt throughout the whole time. She had cool references to her feelings about her husband who was a locksmith, and how she had 20 keys because she always wanted to be able to get back in.

Kehinde Wiley

Kehinde Wiley is clearly a talented artist with an awesome idea for his work. It speaks to me in the way that he flawlessly combines culture with fashion and power. I like that he was given the opportunity to paint famous people.

Banksy

1. Banksy's art is very interesting and thought provoking. They are unusual, which makes them even more cool. They might be making fun of society, and Banksy takes a different approach to art than most artists.
2. I think graffiti is art, because it is an expression of the artists' emotion, and it takes artistic skill. I don't necessarily think it is right or should be allowed, but it's art in my mind.
3. I think it's pretty important to let the public see your art. It's a way for others to see what you were thinking, and it definitely portrays talent.
