You have two choices.. this is due by beginning of class Friday March 27.
Option 1:
Choose an artist from the book or the lectures. Do a little research. Create a work of art that reacts to it in some way. Here on the blog I'd like you to write a little about your project. What did you do? Describe it. What was your inspiration? Give a little background information. You may include links to images.
Option 2:
Choose two works from either your text book or from topics covered in class to write an essay. Research well... you must use a minimum of two sources outside of the text. Compare and Contrast the two works discussing similarities and differences. Be sure to include a detailed description of each work, background information like when and where it was made. What was the political and religious context? How did the climate and geography influence the work?

I chose to design a portrait in the style of roy lichtenstein. I felt like his style relates to my style the most. His approach is more of a graphic style, almost like a comic book. I designed a portrait of my girlfriend with the same color pallette as lichtenstein, and the exact same comic like style. He always had females in his art, so I decided to keep it that way.

I chose to react to a painting done by Francisco Goya. It is my favorite painting that we have discussed in this entire class. In the spirit of Dada, I decided to add my own little twist to it. People always talk about how scary and frightening the painting is and how he must have been in a dark place in his mind at the time. I took the painting and made it fun so that the scariness is overlooked. In my eyes, the picture isn't chilling at all, but I understand we are in different times and maybe I don't comprehend the whole story of Saturn and his son. I used Adobe Photoshop and an image I found on the web.
My inspiration for this project was Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water. I love the horizontality of his design, how close it is to the ground. The design was built all of local materials and reinforced concrete. This made the house friendly to its environment around it. My Drawing is just a texture study of one of the interior views of the house. I used blank in to create texture, perspective and depth after tracing over the original image. I tried to focus on the reflection of light and shadows, taking care of all the small details in the texture of materials.

The piece of art I chose to do a reflection of was one of Francisco De Goyas “Saturn Devouring His Son”. This has always been my favorite romanticism painting. I love the darkness of this painting, it has a feel of straight evil immersing out of it. What I decided to do with my project is to recreate this painting, but from a different perspective. I decided to have it looking through the eyes of the son as he is about to be eaten alive. I created this image using Photoshop.

The artist that struck me most was Hector Guimard. I chose to try to something with his style by incorporating his sort of fluid art, that almost seems like fountains of water or water streams frozen in time, into a title for a site that me and my girlfriend are trying to get done, and if it works then i would even like to animate the title.
I chose to do a reaction piece to some of the 1930's photography of farmers.
I searched around town and found interesting pictures from Florida in antique shops. I did this specifically because I would have no knowledge of where the images came from and would only have my own interpretations of what the picture is supposed to be of. I felt this was how we often view pictures in magazine or online, with no back story a lot of the time the viewer is left to interpret what they see from their own knowledge.
For the final project I decided to do a piece inspired by two of my favorite artist, Andy Warhol, and Jackson Pollock. Every time I see their work I am amazed at it. From the complexity of Pollock’s different layers of paint to Warhol’s simple screen-printing effect. So for this piece I decided to take a little from each artist and put it into one. I took Warhol’s famous soup can and constructed it from Pollock splatter cards that I had. I then completed the piece with a little bit of drip paint overlay. I didn’t want to do too much drip paint because I didn’t want it to take away from the soup can. Overall I feel this piece gets my point across and pays tribute to two artists that I admire.
i chose to do a a piece like one of jackson pollock's paintings. His style is hectic yet creative. I really actually enjoy jackson pollock's work, even though some people don't. Some may say its not art, its just crazyness through a paintbrush. But i think thats art. Mine is more simple than his..but i think it relates to his style definitly.

With the artistic freedom given, I have taken a part of our history and merged it it nicely with our modern culture to create a piece for my educational collection.

The artist I choose is Andy Warhol because I loved his use of color. I love the way he uses color to jump out and grab you and pull you into the image you are presented . I am a big fan of the Marilyn portrait painting he did and many other s. So I decided to do a portrait of myself kind of the same way as Marilyn.
