ART IN THE PARK. Boulder City, NV. 1st Place Painting. Juried by Boulder City Hospital Foundation. 2012 Erin Hanson is an Oregon-based artist, considered to be the originator of painting style called "Open Impressionism." [1] Her landscape paintings have been shown internationally and at solo and group exhibitions and museums worldwide.Throughout this piece, the poet makes use of several literary devices. These include but are not limited to:

Hanson has spent twenty years developing the unique techniques of Open Impressionism, which involve minimal brush strokes and the impasto application of paint. Unlike traditional oil painters, Hanson does not build up the painting layer by layer; instead, she lays her paint strokes side by side without overlapping and works to get each stroke "right the first time." The clean brush strokes give her paintings a mosaic or stained-glass appearance, while also conveying a sense of movement and spontaneity. She uses a limited palette of only five pigments to create vivid, un-muddied colors that ignite the imagination.

Discover what happened on this day. Erin Hanson: Reassurance in Flaws The name Erin Hanson is one many have not heard. The young poets ideas spread confidence, self love, and acceptance. Her young age allows her to connect with her audience in ways many her fellow poets can not. For example in her poem non-officially titled “People are not poetry” Hanson covers the many struggles of being human. However; instead of focusing on the negative, she turns the spotlight on accepting what makes each one of us different. This interesting turn makes for some fascinating works of literature and life lessons. Style and tone, symbolism, and metaphorical language communicate embracing individualism in Erin Hanson's poetry. To begin, Hanson expresses embracing individualism in her poems …show more content… Some of my favorite poems from this book are Monsters, Empty Spaces, and Welcome to Society. While these are some of the more depressing poems in the collection, I found that they spoke to me the most. Likely because of the classic rhyme scheme that reminded me of the children's poetry books that I used to read. But I also found that the way Hanson talks about mental heath and some of the "Monsters" that are in here head were a perfect way to describe the way that many kids in my generation are feeling.

None of us are perfect. None of us look perfect either. The truth is that perfection is just an illusion. We are perfect just the way we are. Perfectionism is all your imperfections. Perfectionism is you. I've read once two of her poems to an elderly friend of mine. She had tears in her eyes after reading them. Now, of course there are poems in here that are better than the others - but that's to be expected. You're not going to love every single one equally. Though I will say, they are all beautiful and I didn't dislike any of them. Open Impressionism is best described as abstracted, contemporary impressionism. The brush strokes are loose and expressive, conveying a sense of movement and transient light. Because the brush strokes are applied alla-prima, without layering, the paintings have a mosaic or stained-glass quality. The underpainting is allowed to appear through the brush strokes, giving the painting a sense of underlying light.PASOSCAPES: OILS BY ERIN HANSON. Studios on the Park, Paso Robles, CA. Curated by Sasha Irving. 2013 The poem starts with the speaker telling whoever is reading the poem to remember that mirrors are untrustworthy. They show someone looking into them what’s on the surface. But, they have no access to what’s inside one’s mind or heart. Nor can they see “you” when you’re living in the happiest moments of life or sleeping peacefully. One should be wary of basing their self-worth off of what they see in the mirror. When I paint, I want to capture the joy I feel whenever I surround myself with nature, and I use composition, textured brush strokes, and contrasting colors to communicate pure aesthetics. When I paint, I lay down my brush strokes confidently and boldly, trying to recreate the freedom and spontaneity I feel out of doors. I try not to overlap my brush strokes, getting each stroke right the first time. This keeps my colors pure and alive. To me, the beauty of the outdoors is all about color." Imagery: occurs when the poet uses particularly interesting descriptions. These should evoke an image in the reader’s mind and inspire them to use their senses. For example, “You can’t see how your eyelids flutter, / When you’re drifting off to sleep.”
