About Me

I chose the Woman of Willendorf to relate to for a few different reasons. This piece of art resembles womens' figures and the beauty of women thousands and thousands of years ago. The artist made the Woman of Willendorf have curves and that was the way in which women were considered pretty was with the curves they had. The Woman of Willendorf is the strongest representation of femininity. Ever since I was little, I have always tried to portray the perfect female form and have always wanted to be very feminine. I have always thought that the most important thing for me is to have children. Being a mother is a very important part of being a woman and this statue shows that. This statue is a very good representation of women and what the perfect female would be.

The second piece of art I chose to relate to is the Lascaux cave paintings. These painting are very popular and were a big attraction during World War II. The artists painted many animals; cows, horses, bulls, bears, felines, and deer. Everything they painted was full of energy and was very lively. They used a painting technique called "twisted perspective", which is where the head and bodies are in profile and may be exaggerated. I can relate to these paintings because in my free time I like to express my feelings and thoughts by drawing. Most of my drawings do not make sense, but they represent my life and the way I feel. It is as though my drawings tell a story about my life.
