Milton Glaser was a Significant Contributor to the Graphic Art World

I chose the art piece entitled An American Ship in Distress because it looks pretty amazing. Another reason I chose to analyze this piece as opposed to the others is because it was the piece I liked the most, therefore making me analyze it more closely and discover other aspects of the work would make me appreciate it more. I also chose this because I enjoy

Everyone wants to understand art.... In the case of a painting people have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works out of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things, things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them (Barnes).

Fine Artists create original artwork using a variety of media combined with their own techniques.

Art is a great way to show passion as well as emotion and thoughts. There have been many great visual artists and there still is today. Art has been around for a long, long time and will continue to be in our community for many more years to come. Art is created in many ways and is admired in different

I choose Elizabeth Catlett as my artist of choices because I really love her work and to me her art is like seeing her world back in the early 1900, which reminds me of my great grandmother’s stories of how she live and what she lived through. It has inspired my own work as I coutuon my journey in expanding my knowledge about the different forms, styles and people to help me shape my own artistic personality.

When I was assigned this project I had a hard time choosing an artist. I really do not know much about influential artists so I was pretty lost. I thought I would chose someone everyone knew about like Picasso. But they did not meet the criteria for the artist we were supposed to chose and I would not have a lot to say about them besides the obvious that everyone knew. I realized that I did not have too much to say about them. I needed to write five pages about a artist. The artist I chose would have to be someone more interest , someone I could relate to someone's work who inspired or influenced me. I did a lot of research and I stumbled upon Kara Walker.

I also selected the Vogels for my discussion for the same reasons you listed. It was quite inspirational to read about the amount of quality of art the couple were able to collect with a limited budget. Additionally, I also felt that by not worrying about the prestige of the artist, they were inadvertently able to expose those unknown artists to a wider

I chose Frida Kahlo because I believe her paintings are not just something that came to her mind with no real meaning behind them. Each painting that Frida Kahlo made was a representation of her own life, emotions, and her experiences. When looking at her portraits I can feel the pain and agony

The direction of my art-making has changed considerably since I started my BFA at NSCAD. My path until then had not exposed me to many of the possibilities within the arts and my practice was quite limited. Almost every single professor here has impacted how I think and see the world around me. I have been given tools for critical thinking and techniques to express my ideas. I have been repeatedly, and sometimes reluctantly, forced out of complacency and comfort and this has always led to growth.

New York based artist Michael Reeder is someone I believe will become a future inspiration in some of my work. When examining his work I viewed an artist that was able to create portraits that where highly flouscent with interest. This is a goal that I work toward achieving everytime I create an artwork.

The artists I chose to do my final project over is Cindy Sherman because I felt like I could relate to her the most. Cindy Sherman was born on January 19, 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. Sherman studied art in college at the State University of New York in Buffalo. One thing I found to be interesting about Cindy was that she began her career as a painter and then switched to photography in the late 1970s. She changed her passion because she did not believe there was anything more to say through paintings. She actually failed her first photography class and later had to retake the class.

Out of the three artists I chose Cindy Sherman. Cindy Sherman was born on January 19, 1954 in glen ridge, New Jersey. Sherman wasn’t always deeply interested in the arts growing up, but finally decided there was a way of art that could show a message about the world, and hold meaning. Sherman’s first works of art were of her taking self portraits, and having them displayed. Sherman’s work conveyed many different meanings of different parts of media, and culture. Her pieces were sometimes viewed as strange, and many people had a hard time picking up what she had behind them. The art work of hers generally displayed some sort of stereotype or idea in the society. Cindy Sherman had many powerful displays of art, but one I really found interesting

If I were a graphic designer, which graphic designer from the history of art would I be like? I would be most like Michael Bierut. Bierut was born sometime during 1957 in Cleveland, Ohio. During his early years living in Ohio, graphic design was not widely taught to young people but this didn’t stop Michael. With his love of his love of art, music, and drawing Bierut’s first began designing album covers. Wanted to learn more Michael took to the library a poured over the only two design books the library had at the time. At this point he was hooked on graphic design he then went on to study graphic design at the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning. During his time at University of Cincinnati Bierut

In conclusion, if a have the opportunity to meet artists I would choose them considering they are friendly, exceptional artist and they are my favourite. Also, they are artist that the world know and love
