In the back of a math class during junior year of high school was when one University of Central Florida student fully realized his artistic talent.
Harry Foreman, 22, junior graphic design major, was diagnosed with ADD and drawing was the only thing that could keep his attention in class.
Foreman’s math teacher would go around the class and check everyone off for doing their homework, and his teacher would just drop off a box of colored pencils for him to use.
“I would have masterpieces for him every class. My teacher would be like, 'That’s a cool drawing, hang it on the door.' I did that once and by the time I left that school the whole door was covered,” Foreman said.
Now Foreman is addicted to drawing and can’t put his pen to paper

He’s done almost all our art work for our band, Casaveda--the album cover, T-shirt and stickers,” Baskt said. “He is always willing to help, super passionate about every piece and every person he works with.”
Foreman is hosting a music and art show at Natura on Tuesday. Natura is like a second home to Foreman and he is frequently in there working on his own art, in addition to have painted a mural on the wall and the bathroom.
“January of last year I went through a moment in time when I didn’t talk to anyone, I cut everyone out of my life. I would go to class and go to Natura,” Foreman

“We started talking about art. I had done oil paintings, and he wanted to learn so I taught him. We spent like every day together for a month, it was great. We clicked right away. We did the mural together,” Brown said.
Daniel Tunaya, manager at Natura, has seen the impact that Foreman’s shows have on the shop. Foreman hosted his first show at Natura last year.
“Harry’s art shows are great because not many people know about us, and it’s a great word of mouth type of thing. He also brings in people who appreciate local artist and stuff like that,” Tunaya said.
Aside from the work Foreman has done at Natura, he is busy with the recent launch of his website of his brand Akyros.
Akyros is Greek for “to cancel.” Foreman is still in the process of figuring out exactly what Akyros will turn into, but it is currently 100 percent his art and products for sale.
“I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I want to use Akyros for, but what I want to do and the business plan for Akyros is going to be a visual collaborative in the sense of I’m able to work with other visual artists, musicians, businesses four times a year and releasing a drop. A one of a kind collection with limited edition releases of everything,” Foreman
He created his art mainly as paintings. Throughout his artwork he draws/paints outstanding images of wildlife, northern scenic landscapes and “legend
In the morning, I attend a daily foreman meeting. During this meeting, daily work is planned and coordinated. Next, I attend a morning craft meeting. Here, a plan is created and tasks are assigned to workers. After lunch, I attend a craft lunch meeting, where progress is evaluated and tasks are adjusted. Safety topics are discussed during every
The artist that I was chosen to write about name is Chris Ware. The materials used by the artist Chris Ware, has uniquely suited his artwork because they give him room and space to bring reality into his comic books. The colors that Chris uses allows him to depict what he wants his cartoon character actions and emotions to feel. Lastly, Chris’s media allows an emotional connection to his readers because he brings his characters to life.
He has performed works of design and has featured in many zines, contemporary art magazines and comics in Italy and other parts of the world. He has also featured online. The notable zines and magazines that featured his work include NY Arts Magazine, Turntable & Blue Light Magazine, Money Island Magazine, John Magazine, UpScene Magazine, Abuse Magazine, Drexter Magz, Stu Magazine, Lart Magazine,

On the East side hangs “In Your Own Words: Native Impressions” which is comprised of twenty-six prints done by three artists; Daniel Heyman, Lucy Ganje, and Kim Fink. The show on the opposing West side is called “Stalking the Snow Leopard” and is done by Justin Sorensen, who hired me as a performers.

Twelve years earlier, I had trouble drawing stick figures. The idea of transferring three-dimensional objects onto paper was wizardry. It was mystifying to watch people know exactly where to place their pencil and shade. I was too embarrassed to show my own art. In kindergarten, I remember drawing a girl's face on a whiteboard and immediately wiping it away.
He was instantly interested. I told him that since he was so talented, I needed for him to draw me a picture for my art class. It was very easy to convince him to help me with this assignment. I gave him the paper and offered him the option of using markers, crayons, paint, or even oil pastels, but he asked if he could just use markers. He went in his room where he has a desk that he regularly does his homework at and said that he would just do it in there. I then prompted him with the suggestions of drawing about him and his cat, him playing soccer, his family, school, or even about the time he had his birthday party at Fernbank. Once Rustin decided that he wanted to draw about playing fetch with his aunt’s dog, he spent close to fifteen minutes to complete it. Rustin is a relatively quiet eleven year old, therefore most of the time that he was drawing he was silent. I asked him a few times while coloring what he had drawn, and then he would explain it to me. However, I had to initiate any conversation that took place during this time. Once he was finished it was very clear that he drew exactly what he told me he was going to, and when I asked him for the title of the artwork he said it was, Playing fetch with
Through art a child can better understand the relationship between things they see and experience and their reactions to them. Art for students between the ages of eight and eleven offers early opportunity of self-expression. This is crucial because If we could not creatively express ourselves, we would not be able to make a good connection with who we really are and the rest of the world around us. Conant stated that expressing experiences through art is a way of expressing more complex ideas and reactions than can be expressed through words. This means a child can understand things more fully when put into two or three-dimensional art work. At this age I remember experimenting with different tools and materials to create art that was personal to me. My drawings usually represented the area I lived in and all my animals I observed. Through my drawings I was able to connect with nature and express the joy and love I had for living in the mountains. These are experiences I will never forget.
Shelby was bullied in middle school and experienced a lot of stress because of it. Art had been used as a stress reliever for her after a rough day. She would spend lots of time in the art room painting away her thoughts and emotions. “Whenever I’m feeling upset or angry I usually pick up a pen or paint brush and just fill my sketch book with some form of art.” Shelby has made a lot of friends with fellow artists and enjoys hanging out with them regularly. Artists have a special connection with each other that someone like you or I wouldn’t be able to understand. “It’s definitely a tight knit community. You can’t just take up drawing and expect to understand everything we’re doing.” No one can really learn to draw, it’s just kind of a naturally born

As a child, John was always being found drawing and known as an adult he is still drawing. This picture has gone from his friend taken the picture on his cell phone, to texting the picture to John’s phone, John putting that picture on a canvas, brought the picture home to show me, I kept it and asked John if he wanted me to do an art exhibit on all of his painting. As a true artist, he said “no”, but as a parent I had to come up with an idea that people in the world can see my son talent as an artist.
Last week I decided to visit one of the most well-known art exhibitions in Dallas. As I entered the Dallas Museum of Art I was immediately captivated by the striking and vivid acrylic mural on the walls created by Nicolas Party entitled Pathway. Party said to have worked on-site at the exhibit for three weeks to transform the Museum 's central pathway into a mesmerizing, lively colored forest; it was such a contrast to the rest of the exhibit’s entrance. Straight ahead was the Nancy and Tim Hanley Gallery filled with dull blank white walls matched with a few art pieces; versus the pathway on the right filled with colorful life that was yanking me in the direction of a brand new world. To me it seemed as if the walls were desperately waiting to be brought to life by other inspired artist like Party. The mural not only caught my attention but it made me thirst for more fascinating art as such.
