The artist I chose is Laura Owens. I chose her because her artwork looks very peaceful and calm. With all the chaos that goes on in the world, her work makes me smile and think of being in another world where things are happy and lovely. This artwork of hers makes it seem like the viewer is looking out a window and seeing the land. The beautiful mountains are in the far distance and the water and the sun rise or sun set gives it a nice pretty glow. Laura Owens was born in Euclid, Ohio, in 1970. She is still living today.

This is Edward Cullen and he is a vampire. Everyone thinks that all vampires eat humans and are dangerous and viscious. However, Edward Cullen does not eat humans, he lives off the blood of animals. So that is a stereotype because people automatically assume that he would eat humans but he does not.

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.

I find this handmade book fascinating and well crafted first of all because the book has spirals and its still an accordion. I see all of someone's memories on the book and I love when people do this because I do it too. So the creator of this book has used pictures instead of drawings or cutting shapes and pasting them on. I find it intersesting because when someone puts memories into something, you can tell what kind of person they were/ are and what they've gone through in life. It could be things you've never known about the person when you've known them your whole life. So it's definately an interesting book.

First of all I LOVE this drawing! I think it is very cool and amazing. Anyway this drawing clearly has color to it. It also has a varity of lines. I see the texture in multiple places and i see many different shapes. I love how it is completely abstract, it wasn't made to really be anything. But even though that is true it is something because it is a form of art.

 This picture shows color and pattern. The repeated flowers show the pattern and the different colors shows the element of color.
