Etruscan Temple
For this assignment I wanted to explore the Etruscan style of art, since I previously knew nothing about the Etruscans. The Etruscan equivalent of Poseidon is Nethuns. I decided to do a submerged ruin of a temple to Nethuns.
Expressionism Inspired by Music
My results from this exercise were very interesting. Despite the fact that I listen to a wide variety of music I am very particular about the music that I like. Due to my Hyperacusis some sounds that are normal for other people are physically painful for me. This was reflected in the third piece, which was based upon a Jazz song. The calm sounds of the music was cut across sharply by the painful sound of a trumpet, which is almost always a painful instrument for me to listen to. The first song is one of heavy drumbeats and brass that will be forever associated with 2001: A Space Odyssey The second was classical, with a strong main theme. This was the Jazz piece. The next song was a very soothing classical piece. This last was a Funeral March by Wagner. I did not not know it was called that at the time I painted it, but the sombre background was the first impression I got from the song.
