interview with an artist

FINE ARTIST



Interview with artist;
When I first spoke with the artist, I asked him a series of questions that related to his artwork and how art tied into his life. Bartavious Weaver, a former classmate of mine, got into art when he entered high school. It was easy to tell the artwork throughout the school was his because he was simply the best in the school. Bart was a very artistic and creative person. He would express his ideas in school pep rallies, talent shows, and even the school prom. Here are some of the questions that I asked him and some of the responses I got.
Q: What inspired you to become an artist?
A: When I was young, I had a desire to make everything standout a little bit more than it already was. I started out drawing simple things and it progressed to more creative and difficult artworks.

Q: Why do you do what you do?
A: I enjoy doing what I do because it helps brighten up society and allows me to express myself in a way I couldn’t with other actions or words. Art is important to me because every piece of art I create, I feel that it brightens up the world in hard times.


APPLIED ARTIST

My parent's friend named Thomas Voronina is someone i know that practices applied art. He works on automobiles and fixes them up in his own way. He expresses himself through this process because it is what he likes to do the most. Not only does he modify the body and performance of cars, but he also paints graphics on them.

Q: What inspired you to become an artist?
A: I have had an obsession with cars ever since I could remember. My dad told me everything about cars and led me to art. It helps me express and define myself.

Q: Why do you do what you do?
A: It is fun and enjoyable, but also helps me earn a living.

Public Architecture

Turner Field- Atlanta, GA
One of the most important and popular architectual pieces of art in the state of Georgia, Turner Field was built shortly after the destruction of Fulton County Stadium. It has been the home of the Atlanta Braves since 1997 and its unique and design makes it the home of other events as well. The megatron in this picture happens to be the biggest in the world and is really amazing how the archetect that constructed this field fit this screen in without taking away from anything else in the stadium.


Friend's house- Covington, GA


We believe it is unique because of the way it was built, with the second story porch and large size. We find it amazing how someone can construct a house of this size and still make it look nice. The backside of this house actually has 2 porches that give it a much taller looking feature.


Stone Mountain- Stone Mountain, GA


This picture of the sculpture on the side Stone Mountain symbolizes the extreme difficulty of sculpting art. Due to its large size and the presidents that are represented on it is known all over the world. As you can see, its height makes it one of the most difficult and interesting artworks in Georgia.























































Self Portrait-Christopher Chong

I drew a picture of myself. This represents me because I believe it to look like me.

Self Portrait

As you can see, my self portrait is very sports oriented. I have been around sports all of my life and feel that it was appropriate that when describing myself sports should play a huge role.
