Arts :

Hello! My name is Kayla and I am from Massachusetts. I am very interested in all forms of art, but I do not take part in them myself. I write occasionally and take nature photographs. I also collect crystals and plants. My grandfather was an architect so he has inspired me to appreciate the beauty of the way things are built. I also love animals and try to do anything I can to help them. I am currently attending Umass Lowell in Liberal Arts with concentrations in Gender and Environment.

Animals in Art

<p>This three part collection is a curation of examples of the relationship between animals and art. Animals were around before the human race appeared and they will probably still be around when we are long gone. Animals have been involved in every civilization whether they are pets or predators. Some see animals as sacred beings- whether it be for religious purposes, or because they are a beloved pet. In modern society, actual animal bodies could be considered art as well. Mounting deer heads, making bear skin rugs, or taxidermy, These forms can also be seen as a way of representing an animal is sacred to them. </p> <p>I will be exploring animals in art from Egyptian to modern day in different forms including paintings and sculptures. </p><p>#AHMCFall2019<br /></p>
