LoveableLD

My name is La Donna Parker. im 20 years old and still live at home with my wonderful family. I love art and all its different forms. i like to bead and learn alot from my mother since she likes to sew and makes pretty much everything from pillows to pow wow outfits,beadwork, longhouse shirts and so on. We use our second living room as a craft room in our house lol.

Me dancing at Keshena pow when i was 16 years old.

1.(BEADWORK) A medallion my mom Michelle Hill and I finished this summer. It was beaded with lots of love for my little brother kellen. We are bear clan. (by Michelle Hill and La Donna Parker) this is a form of Native American Art. 2. (Cutting hair and making designs) with a razor or trimmers is another unique form of art. i picked this art form because hair is interesting and you can do many things to your hair. [] 3. (Kabuki and Janpenese Dacne ) its a popular dramatic art form from Japan since the 17th Ceni tury. i would like to watch the dance in person and up close! []

4. (Ancient Egyptian Art ) Every Piece of Art in this culutre has a meaning and tells a story. This is very Interesting to me since each culture has their own different ways of showing art.

5.(The Elephant Festival) is one of the most popular festivals in Jaipur and takes place at the famous Chaugan Stadium in March. They also use camels, horses, and folk dancers. I think thats very different to decorate an elephant with meaning! []

6. (Photography) is another art form. I found this picture on the National Geographic Website. It was the "Photo of the Day: 2010." I love photography since you can capture moments on film and its nice too take a look at all different pictures. []

7.(Peyote Fan Making) These fans are made of Macaw feathers and you can see leather is used and also beading on the handle. It really takes time and effort to cutting the feathers in different shapes and then you have to glue them together. I have seen many of these fans at pow wows but i have never owned one, they are beautiful to me.

8. (Iroquois Water Drum) These are carved and worked on for days. Some of the materials needed: Wood, leather, cloth. You can add designs ,carve and paint if you really wish to. I really like dancing to these drums at ceremonies and i have one myself. [] 9. (Applique) is the designs sewn together on this jingle dress. You just need a sewing machine, thread, different color materials, sissors and just be CREATIVE. I love how creative people can be with making their own designs and sewing them on their outfit, its very difficult since i tried it couple times myself. [] 8. (game graphics) You need to apply your self to school to learn the techniques of developing different game graphics. =[]= 9. (Oragami) Oragmi means "folding paper" and is a traditional art that comes from the Japanese. It started to get popular outside Japan in the mid 1990's. [] 10. (Sticky note art) Putting together art using sticky notes seems very difficult to me but its very unique. =[]= = = = =
