The piece was named the Fire Dance and was sculpted by a man named David Black. He said that the sculpture is used to inspire others. David Black created this sculpture with lots of spirals, circles, and counterbalances. The subject black puts his sculpture in is called "proto-architect". This means it contains shapes such as arches, pillars, and canopies. The Fire Dance sculpture sits about 25 feet, taller than the surrounding palm trees, and is a fire red aluminum color. Its purpose is to inspire people to become engineers, architects, and visual artists. all of the cuts outs of the sculptor allow spectators to walk underneath and through the sculptor completely. The way the Florida sunlight hits this sculptor is amazing bec...

The texture in the green makes me think this painting was meant to be some sort of outside landscape keyhole perspective. In this painting...

  Head First Or Toes First?  Painting: Tome Browning Emily Perrin This painting was painted by a man named Tom Browning. There is no title for this painting which I thought what better painting to describe me. My name is Emily Perrin and I am 19 years old.  My style, values, and taste are represented in this painting all too well. My style would be considered very laid back and beachy. Like this little girl, I also have bleach blonde hair, I have always had bleached blonde hair so I considered part of my style. I was raised in North Georgia just dreaming of the day I could move down to Florida and become this beach girl I had planned out in my head. My taste is described in this painting by the way she is showing attitude toward the water.
