Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

A modern 60’s theme represents the hippie movement. Expresses a pretty rad idea really feeling the music ? and the movement of freedom. This shows a guitar ? because I love rock and roll. It even has the peace ✌️sign for “make peace, not war”. About this artwork:[...]

My name is Tracie Sperling. I am 27 years old and live in Falls Church, VA. I graduated from Marymount University with a B.A in Liberal Studies with concentrations in Fashion Design and Business Administration. I have a background in art as well. Through networking, I have been told I could incorporate my art as actual fabric designs.

As far as my background, I have been artistically inclined since seven years old. My Mom would hang up my drawings on the refrigerator with pride and call me her “ picassoette” because I started developing an abstract style at a young age and my art work was always different compared to others. In college, I started painting working with mixed media of acrylic paint, sharpie oil paint and even makeup. I have a couple of past exhibitions where I was selected by a panel of judges for the annual Marymount art show to have my own display twice in a row.

Creativity is key to success, even though it is often turned down. People are afraid to be different due to criticism, but we are born with a unique set of qualities. I personally believe everyone is born with natural, God-given talents, but not all have access. Natural talent is admired, but working hard to achieve a certain skill is more appreciated. As song writer, Lady Gaga indicates, each individual is “born a certain way with a purpose in life”. “There is nothing wrong with living who you are because god made you perfect”(Born This Way, 2011). This brings me to another concept. Imperfections are acceptable. Not everyone is perfect and you don’t necessarily have to look like someone off the cover of a magazine…even though that is seen as ideal. Women come in all shapes and sizes. In art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
