Expansion: Christopher Columbus.
Last week I posted work from what I did in my Exploration class. Where I was exploring a topic. I felt like Christopher Columbus, I was pushing forward and conquering new territory for me. This is the second part. I'm now digging into my previous work more and experimenting with layout/design within a photographic image.

Expansion: the beginning
Exploring, refining and expanding is all what an artist does. It's what makes us better. It's a learning process and it never stops. I did a study on raw food a few months back and now I am revisiting it but in a different way. I just wanted to show some images from the first time through.

fine art: a definition
I feel the term "Fine Art" gets thrown around a lot. I also think that a lot of people don't really know what it means.
Personally I felt that fine art was a genre that held all the left overs. Let me explain further, in photography you have several different genres; culinary, architecture, advertising, wedding, still life, landscapes and so on. Basically any work that didn't fit into those categories I felt was "fine art." This statement could have some truth to it. But let's take a look at some definitions.
Wikipedia: Fine art or the fine arts, from the 17th century on, denote art forms developed primarily for aesthetics and/or concept, distinguishing them from applied arts that also have to serve some practical function. It serves as intellectual stimulation to the viewer.
Google: Creative art, esp. visual art, whose products are to be appreciated primarily or solely for their imaginative, aesthetic, or intellectual content.
University of Oxford: Fine Art is the making and study of visual art. It educates and prepares students to become artists and to follow other practices that are aligned to the making of art. The curriculum is centred on the individual student’s potential and imagination.
It seems like my original thoughts were heading in the right direction as well as my work.
Now I leave you with some of my intellectual stimulating, imaginative fine art.
