This picture shows layering. It is very clear that the hand is not actually holding the sign. It was placed right on top of the hand. The picture is saying "I shop therefore I am," which, in my opinion, means I shop and that makes me who I am so be proud of me because I will not change myself for you. But that is just me. The artist of this is Barbara Kruger. This could also be appropriation.

In this class I think it was a great class. When I was younger I wanted to be an artist and in grade school we did have an art class but it was only half the year while the other half was music. So I didn't get much out of the classes especially because I was young and I didnt understand. In seventh grade I transffered to a different school that did not have an art class. So when I was old enough to understand, there wasnt a class for me. Going into high school knowing I was going to be taking an art class was a good feeling. I learned about the elements and principles of art and the history of where it came from and so far it has been a great experience for me.
