1.Life ain’t always beautiful by: Gary Allen

Life ain’t always beautiful
Sometimes it’s just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life ain’t always beautiful
You think you’re on your way
And it’s just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggle makes you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it’s own way of takin’ it sweet time

[chorus]
No,life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it’s a beautiful ride

Life aint always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin’ all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life dont work that way

But the struggles makes me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has it’s own way of takin’ its sweet time

No, life aint always beautiful
But I know I’ll be fine
Hey, life aint always beautiful
But its a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

1. No life ain’t always beautiful this line describes the struggles and lifes challenges that everyone faces. Though people have their good experiences they also have their bad ones, there will always be struggles in life and this line helps show that life isn’t always the way we want it to be but that doesn’t make it inevitable there will always be struggles but thats not what life is all about.

2. And happiness has it’s own way of taking its sweet time, in this line he is saying that good things take time, there’s always happiness for someone and if things don’t seem very good at the moment keep waiting, happiness is out there it’s just taking its time.

3. But the struggle makes you stronger And the changes make you wise, this line is also emphasizing about life not always being beautiful, it comes with many challenges but we learn from them and both the good and bad experiences can only make us stronger.

1. He tries to use different styles in his paintings. The message I think he is trying to give is that anyone can accomplish anything. By putting athletes into this paintings he is showing their accomplishments and showing their greatness.  It also shows how working hard can allow someone to accomplish many things.  By putting them in a “Baroque” style of painting it gives them an sense of importance.

2. Mixing the old with the new, mixing reality and fantasy.  By putting the two together he tries to portray a strong message and he brings a new perspective to art. By using a “Baroque” style for his back round and then more of a “recent” painting, he brings old with the new.  By bringing reality and fantasy he is taking real people and putting them in a painting where the back round is full of detail and design, it allows you to think of what the painter was trying to portray in his painting.

1. In many of his pieces it looks as though he tries to mix the happy and peaceful aspects of life with controversy.  I do like the way he tries to bring both parts together. Art is about expression and he is taking two different controversial subjects and putting them together.  This usually causes people to think about it much more.

2. I do think most grafitti is art and i think that in some ways that is a bigger part of expression. I do consider his grafitti to be art and the messages he is trying to portray is art. I think they use pen names because it shouldn’t matter who created it they want their work to be appreciated for what it is.

3. If someone is trying to send a message through their art then they should put it towards the public. Like I’ve said before, art is part of expression and most artists try to send a message through that.
