around us, such as war, pollution, and many other
current events of our time. Art defines our culture, and
preserves our history through the images, tools,
sculpture, and architecture which gave us a sense of
uniqueness that set us apart from one another. By
learning the history and how art define us as a society,
this too lead me to develop my art which is different
from the other artist.
This development of my style of art came about
while I was in high school; in fact, it was an
assignment from my art instructor that we have to
create an art work base on a style of the master’s as
such Cubism, Impressionism, and Surrealist. The
style I choose to use was cubism. When I did this
assignment, my painting did not turn out to be cubism
but it turn out to be more stained glass. I went with this
style in most of my art by using simple colors in each
separate design going from dark to lightest color. I
used this same technique in my art for a short while
until I learn to develop another technique which to take
my style to the next level. Instead of using simple
colors, I used a shading technique which make each
shape appears to be three- dimensional. Only thing I
had left to do is to figure out of what to call my style in
my artwork. So, one day a good friend of mine at
church took a look at my drawings and called the style
Fractionalism.

Now, my style of art is a fractionalism, where as I
fragment beautiful objects into multiple three-
dimensional- like shape. To some this style is “ugly”,
“too confined”, and “too harsh”, but to others, it is
Breathtaking. I use bright, vivid, contrasting colors to
define nature and humanity.

As an artist, I learned there’s a lot more to art than
just to draw and paint an image onto a canvas or a
piece of paper. The first lesson I learn about art is that
I do not have to be perfect, but to gain that perfection
takes time and practice. When I started to draw as a
child, I expected all of my drawings to come out photo
realistic, but they never did. As a result, I became
upset and very impatient with process of creating a
good work of art. As I got older, I learned not to try to
be perfect while creating my art, but to try to develop
my own style to which it doesn’t have to be photo real.
This realization came about to me when I studied art
history, other artist, their styles, and theories.
While I studied other artist, their styles and theories
which goes into creating art, I noticed that art is not
about perfection. What it is really about is mostly
styles, techniques, and how it can affect the viewer’s
conception of the world around them. Artist such as
Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, and many others, had
greatly influence the way I do art. Sense then, I grown
as an artist and along with that, my art matured over
time. These artists and their works continue to inspire
and to help me to see things differently, but especially
how I viewed and define art.
I define art as of having the ability to make or to create
things which is beautiful and is pleasing to the eye. It’
s a form of self expression though the use of colors,
light, and movement of lines within the picture plane to
create sense of emotion for us to feel the way an artist
feel. Not only art can create a sense of emotion, but it
can help bring about awareness of our world around
