Awareness Unleashed

 


Quote found on the Internet


The name calling is uncalled for. For those that are unaware, I was 4 - 13 from 1980 - 1989. In order for someone to become aware of something they have to be introduced to the subject at hand. 


“Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, served from 1981 to 1989 and is often remembered for his charismatic leadership and significant impact on American politics. Before his presidency, Reagan was a prominent actor in Hollywood, which helped him develop a strong public persona. His transition from the entertainment industry to politics began in the 1960s when he became involved with the Republican Party, eventually leading to his election as the Governor of California in 1966. Reagan's governance in California laid the groundwork for his national political career, showcasing his ability to connect with the public and articulate conservative values.


During his presidency, Reagan implemented a series of economic policies known as "Reaganomics," which emphasized tax cuts, deregulation, and a reduction in government spending. These policies aimed to stimulate economic growth and reduce inflation, and they were characterized by a belief in the power of free markets. Reagan's administration also focused on strengthening the military and taking a hard stance against the Soviet Union, which he famously referred to as the "Evil Empire." His foreign policy initiatives, including the Strategic Defense Initiative, were pivotal in shaping the geopolitical landscape of the late 20th century.”

Yellow Harmony Tambourine

  Yellow Harmony Tambourine. Digital art created on August 13, 2024. Afrika Abney  Throughout my life, I have explored a diverse range of musical instruments, each offering its own unique sound and character. Among these, the tambourine holds a special place in my heart, with its vibrant jingles and rhythmic potential. Inspired by this beloved instrument, I embarked on a creative journey to translate its essence into the realm of visual art, resulting in an abstract digital painting that captures the spirit of the tambourine. The artwork, titled "Yellow Harmony Tambourine," is a vivid representation that intertwines the lively energy of the tambourine with a striking color palette of yellow and purple. These colors were deliberately chosen to evoke feelings of joy and creativity, reflecting the upbeat nature of the music produced by the tambourine. The abstract forms and dynamic composition within the painting aim to convey the rhythm and movement associated with playing this...

The exploration of human experiences within the context of abstract art

  Quote found on the Internet “The exploration of human experiences within the context of abstract art reveals a profound interplay between emotion and perception. Abstract art, characterized by its departure from representational forms, invites viewers to engage with their own feelings and interpretations. This genre transcends traditional boundaries, allowing individuals to connect with the artwork on a personal level, often evoking a range of responses that are deeply rooted in their own life experiences. The absence of recognizable subjects encourages a more introspective approach, prompting viewers to reflect on their emotions and thoughts as they navigate the vibrant colors, shapes, and textures presented before them.”
