s e g n e l l a h c k r o ” ’ “His w t r a ‘ f o n o i t p m u one’s ass
Many people of our generation are familiar with – if not actually fans of – the bizarre and entertaining films of TimBurton. They know of him as the creator of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, and a film adaptation of the Broadway musical Sweeney Todd, among other films. However, there is another side to Burton’s illustrious and successful career. This year, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City held a retrospective
exhibit which shed new light on his career. Although the exhibit does feature artifacts from Burton’s movies, it was intended more to be an exploration of all of Burton’s work. Tim Burton’s world is characterized by weird, macabre, colorful characters;
the variety and sheer volume of his work truly speaks to his innovation and dedication as an artist. The entire exhibit is comprised of several large galleries, featuring everything from movie props and sculptures to quick sketches and large paintings. All of Burton’s work seems to be extensively and carefully planned; for example, alongside each prop from one his movies was a group of detailed sketches and small clay models of the movie’s characters. Each piece that was on display was a radical departure from the one next to it; one would think that multiple artists had contributed to the exhibit, not just one.
The wide range of media that Burton employs to express his weird, whimsical artistic vision is truly impressive; within just a few feet one could see a quirky, motorized sculpture of a robot; animated short films, accompanied by eerie music; and small, colorful paintings on black velvet that resembled stained glass when illuminated with UV lamps. Before I viewed the exhibit, I didn’t understand or particularly like Tim Burton’s artwork: I thought of him only as a bizarre filmmaker whose work didn’t match my taste. After viewing the MoMA exhibit, though, I gained a newfound appreciation for Burton’s creativity, and with this new understanding, I was able to truly enjoy his work. His work, which can be humorous, dark, or both, challenges one’s assumption of “art” and what belongs in a museum. Burton’s works are not traditional still-life paintings or marble sculptures, but they are nevertheless important contributions to the art world. The diversity of Burton’s body of work proves that he is a uniquely innovative artist with a seemingly infinite flow of ideas. His distinctive creations may be outside the confines of traditional art, but Tim Burton has certainly proved that he is an innovative artist who deserves our admiration.

Musical Masterpiece
The question we find ourselves asking when we first view a piece of album artwork created by our favorite band is: what exactly is the allure? In other words, what makes album artwork so appealing and draws us into it? Maybe, it’s because the album artwork helps us to grasp the intangible feel of music that is abstract to us. The truth of the matter is that album artwork has become a personable form of art to us. Although the famous fine art pieces by Monet and Degas are breath taking to look at, can everyone relate to their artwork? Living in this generation, we can attach our emotions to album artwork. Music is a language understood by the world; it is our getaway to places of happiness and tranquility. Furthermore, album artwork plays the role of connecting our emotions to music. We all can relate to the feeling experienced Peter Blake when we ponder and engage in the album artwork while listening to the music.
Album artwork triggers our connection and our feel to music. The powerful impact of the album cover image grasps the viewer’s attention because in a sense, the artwork sets a feeling for the music. Furthermore, art and music express who we are as individuals and what our culture as a whole is interested in. We can see how our culture has evolved over the years by examining the vast art work on album covers. From the hippie fads of the 60s heavily influenced by the Beatles, to the “groovy” disco 70’s, to the rocking 80’s influenced by Journey, to the rocking 90’s dominated by pop groups like The Backstreet Boys , to the music today; pop, rock, hip-hop, jazz… Album artwork has set the mood for the era. Album artwork captures our history in its attempt to be commercially successful. The art form began in an effort to sell more records. Unfortunately, our generation takes it for granted. When we turn on iTunes, a little image of the album artwork pops up in the corner of the screen. Sadly, the powerful album artwork is ignored. Maybe it is because our generation feels the music instead of interpreting it through the image we see. by Jennah Shahid

G N T V AA ARdE N O I FASHI
t is not uncommon for people Article by to think of clothes as simple pieces Haley Coopersmith of fabric that are used to cover their bodies. But what these people do not realize is that fashion is an art form. Someone who considers fashion as art thinks of his or her body as a blank canvas and the clothes as the paint. These artists also realize that clothing does not only refer to something that is made out of fabric.They understand that almost anything can be used to construct an outfit and if they are brave enough, they may even venture outside in such masterpieces. To some, wearing a certain outfit can be comparable to walking around with a painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in their arms and these are the true Fashionistas of the world. Avant-garde loosely translates to “ahead of the movement� and not being associated with the mainstream world is crucial if one plans to use unconventional materials in fashion. From papers to plants to feathers to furs, avant-garde designers have broken all boundaries of the fashion world and have re-written the rules of what is acceptable to wear in society in the process. However the designer isn’t the only one who has to be a non-conformist; the buyers and the people who wear the avant-garde garments have to be unique as well. Only a very confident person who is not afraid of what anyone else thinks can pull off wearing a piece of art and that is how certain supermodels and actresses get away with wearing such amazing creations and others do not. The same can be said for designers: only a designer with the right attitude can pull off making clothes out of unconventional materials and not be criticized for it.
One performer who has done a magnificent job of making a name for herself as a courageous, avant-garde style icon is Lady Gaga. Although Lady Gaga has only been considered a celebrity for about two years she has already gained world fame for her music and her fashion choices. Lady Gaga continuously goes out in outfits made out of human hair, see-though lace, plastic, LED lights, tape and everything else in between. And rather than being splattered across Page Six as a fashion disaster she is all over the pages of the most reputable high fashion magazines and is regarded as the world’s newest Fashion Icon.

Coffee Creations By Alyssa Miller
C
offee art has become increasingly popular in little coffee shops. People take the time to draw out little designs or pictures with cream to make a latte even more special. Karen Eland has decided to take coffee art to a new level. Karen has taken coffee and made it her he medium of choice instead of watercolors or acrylic paint. Karen started taking art lessons when she was fourteen years old. Her love for coffee developed from her daily trips to Kaldi’s coffeehouse, where she would draw the people around her. One day, Karen made a connection between her art and coffee and decided to paint with it. To further understand the art of coffee, Karen became a barista, but art is her full time job. Karen normally works with oils, water colors and pencils, for job related projects. Coffee art is a fun hobby that Karen uses as a “refreshing break” from the more traditional art. The Girl with a Pear Earring
The Mona Latte
The Creation of Coffee
Besides painting in coffee, Karen adds a new layer of complication to her hobby; she remakes classic paintings in coffee. Karen adds a twist and sometimes tries to incorporate a cup of coffee to physically be in the painting. Karen describes the process as a “slow and sophisticated process” that requires many layers of espresso. Some of Karen’s more known creations are “The Mona Latte,” “The Girl with a Pear Earring” and “The Creation of Coffee. To see more of Karen Eland’s work you can visit her website: coffee-art.com
