The well known musician, Paul McCartney, made some very nice visual art paintings. Color seems to be a big part of his work. The colors give you a feel as to the emotion attached to it.

I find it very interesting that such a talented singer is also such a talented artist. The way he uses colors to express the emotions shows a lot about his artistic style.

i like the different colors he used to make the design

Pianist Daria van den Bercken fell in love with the baroque keyboard music of George Frideric Handel. Now, she aims to ignite this passion in others. In this talk, she plays us through the emotional roller coaster of his music - while sailing with her piano through the air, driving it down the street, and of course playing on the stage.

Joni Mitchell is not only a famous musician but she also enjoys to paint.

John Mellencamp's visual art website. Mellencamp developed a style that fuses the aesthetic approaches of the German expressionists Max Beckmann and Otto Dix with that of American neo-expressionists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente. His oil paintings combine portraits of everyday Americans with a cast of universally recognized symbols-hearts, guitars, targets, and crowns-and words such as "dreams," "blues," and "freedom."

Will, are you the next art writer for City Newspaper or did you borrow some ideas (heavily ahem) from your source? Please cite your sources or give us your own observations. If this is your writing, you need to teach me what Neo-expressionism means. I have always wondered. Just kidding.

I was very impressed with the way the paintings made me think. They're very satisfying to look at and It was like the paintings were whispering those emotions until I really saw. Then it was like they were being told to me clearly.

Tyler the creator is a well known rapper in the music industry but is also a renowned artist to his peers. Designing his own album covers and even some pieces for The Kanye West

Its weird to think about how someone so vulgar and hardcore can calm dow and create peaceful and amazing art. His work is very creative too.

knowing him i wouldn't think he would be an artist. it's sort of mind blowing to know he makes something peaceful.

I chose this ted talk because this is a very unique type of "music". During his performance, the way he creates music makes you think of an image of exactly what type of music he plays

I liked this one and I can't find any other ways to describe it other than it's very unique and interesting. It did sort of put images into my head which still amazes me how music is able to do such strange things like make me picture the emotion in the songs.

John Lennon's visual art style is minimal and child-like. Both deceptively simple and ...

I really like "A Family Tree" very cute and simple, I also really like "Peace on Earth" very satisfying

One of the most beautiful poets ever. This poem is about bullied children. when i listen to his words and the music in the background i picture images of what his poetry is portraying.

I liked this video because it was funny but at the same time extremely serious. He had very interesting stories that kept my attention.

I saw this a few years ago, outstanding. I especially love the part about the homework revenge. I am not certain how this relates to the original question. Yes indeed, I picture many of the scenarios he describes, he is a good storyteller. Most kids I know who are bullies have been bullied. Does that mean we should excuse the way they treat other people? I don't know many people who weren't mercilessly picked on as children for some short-coming. It seems to me everyone should just be kind to each other, even if they don't know them-- or even if they are teachers. :-)

Nick- I have no idea what this TED talk says to you or how or why you selected it. In order to get credit for a post, you must put thought into why you chose it and how it relates to the original question or what we are doing in class.
