Congrats to Yvonne Kettner!

Kettner's piece revealing her next creative
project: 365 more zentangles-
 this time, with color!

I was assigned to write a piece about a current event in the world of visual art. :)

This is for my Art Appreciation class.

I decided to write about my friend Yvonne Kettner, who recently finished her 365 project! Such huge congratulations, Ms. Yvonne!! :)

Here is what I wrote:


I found this article on the blog 365 Freestyle Zentangles. This is a blog hosted by the website Blogspot.com. The article URL is as follows: 365freestylezentangles.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-will-it-be.html

• WRITE A MINIMUM OF ONE PARAGRAPH SUMMARIZING (IN YOUR OWN WORDS) THE ARTICLE

My friend Yvonne Kettner embarked upon a journey to create a zentangle every day for one year. A zentangle is a free-hand drawing, usually containing unpremeditated patterns. Kettner was inspired to attempt such a project by Noah Scalin, and artists who tackled his own year-long creative process to make one skull every day. Kettner finished her venture on  August 30^th, 2012. On that day, she revealed her decision to tackle yet another 365-day-long project, continuing to draw zentangles, but this time adding colors to her beautiful designs.

• WRITE A STATEMENT OF “RELEVANCE”
  
  This statement of relevance should also be a minimum of one paragraph in length and discuss HOW you see this news item as relating to the study of “ART APPRECIATION.”

            In a world constantly creating new types of art, Yvonne Kettner embraced a style not commonly known. Because of her fervor for zentangles, Kettner was able to create a unique piece of art every day for one year. Her appreciation for this distinctive art style shows her most beloved qualities to all those who are graced with seeing her collection. Truly challenging herself and letting her creativity flow every day, this artist from the Netherlands captured the meaning of art: having perseverance and taking joy and pride in her work.
