`` We Rose Up Slowly `` Done By Roy Lichtenstein

When we eat a slice of pizza we tend to wash it down with a bottle of Coke when we 're feeling sick we tend to have some Campbell 's chicken noodle soup when we think of rock 'n ' roll the name Elvis Presley comes to mind and for America 's sweetheart and movie actress there is none other than Marilyn Monroe. These for iconic objects and figures all have one thing in common they have stood the test of time and continue to be a part of American culture. Today I 'm going to talk about one man who took these ideas and started a new movement in the early 1960s it movement coined pop art where everyday recognizable images that have stood the test of time and continue to influence and be a part of American culture. This man goes by the name of Andy Warhol.

I think what appeals to me about the artist Henri Matisse was the use of color in his work. To Matisse the color and shapes of objects were feelings rather than the object themselves. At the same time, he invested the canvas with a thrilling color radiance, that, like smell (as Matisse himself observed), subtly but intensely suffuses the senses (Fiero 366).

the emotions of the readers. He successfully gives a vivid image in which the audience can begin

The imagery shows that they had hope in their eyes, which helps create emotion that the reader feels about the character. An example of this in the short story is when the author said “By the time he got to senior year in high school, his GPA was hovering in the slam dunk position”. The imagery the unknown author uses makes the reader understand that even though he was hurt and his grades

I think the artist made the drawing to show the audience a piece of history. The artwork was made in (1950) I

The below artwork was done by Man Ray, a pioneer in the 20th century and a leading figure in both Dada and Surrealist art movements (Phillipscollection.org, 2017). Although Man Ray considered himself as a painter, starting from the late 1910s, he began his devotion to photography (The Art Institute of Chicago, 2017). Through his playful experimental approach to motion and visual puns, these elements defined the characters of his work of art. Long before film photography and today’s digital camera age, Man Ray used a range of media to portray his artwork - he empowered viewers to discover the meanings behind each work.

His artwork has a happy feeling towards it, which I think was also influenced by the places he went especially Shanghai. Roys artwork that I have seen, usually has a girl in it with tears under her eyes, or sometimes she’s smiling. I don’t know if his life affected his artwork. That is my interpretation, I don’t see where his life affected his art. I can see he definitely put his life into his artwork though, if that makes any sense. I think that I would recognize their artwork if displayed somewhere. But, Roy’s artwork is comic-like and might not be noticeable. But I still think I would be able to notice it somewhere because it unique compared to other comics you see. Most comics have like superheroes, or Garfield. But he originated comics, and his are original.

“The Away Team Beams Down to What Appears to be Unlimited Planet” is large in scale encompassing the whole space of one wall. This creates the illusion that the viewer can just step right into it. It is the largest piece in the collection and brings all of the other works together. Assu embraces a digital print of “Vanquished” by Emily Carr and imprints a large digital symbol on top of it. This process of embellishing another artist work is a common way of addressing a message, though, is surrounded by controversial opinions. The question is, does this way of making art have as deep of an effect on the audience compared to a piece that is fully the work of one artist? The symbol is a traditional Kwakwaka’waka element. The smooth paint strokes of “Vanquished” contrast with the hard bright neon orange abstract shape of Sonny Assus. The symbol resembles a face, with eyes and a mouth. Out of the ovoid shape Assus has added thin circles overlapping each other, in a spiral like pattern, leading towards the ground, The shape takes up around a third of the original painting and is very dramatic becoming the most dominant feature and capturing the audience 's attention first. All together the embellishment resembles an abstract UFO, placed looking down at the planet searching for something.

J.M.W Turner’s painting, Seascape with Storm Coming on (1840) utilizes warm and cool color tones along with a mysterious focal point to create a fascinating work of art. Similarly, Bjork’s “Atom Dance” uses contrasting vocal tones and oceanic imagery to express her frustration in her marriage.

This piece was created during a time of political and social change. Increased political awareness and a focus on celebrity demanded art that was more

The reason I this piece of artwork appealed to me was because of the vivid use of colors. The bright pastels of pinks, yellows, blues and purples caught my eye and drew me in. They created a bright, relaxed, elegant and uplifting feeling to the setting. What I thought was interesting was that at first glance you see a woman, but rather than looking joyful, she seems upset or confused. Due to the colors of the setting I imaged the women’s emotion would match the bright and uplifting colors. I thought the artist’s choice of color was unique because I would typically imagine the colors to be gray and black with the emotion of confusion and sadness. It really causes the viewer to have to examine the image as a whole as well as piece by piece.

A painterly quality with an otherworldly aesthetic is what set pictorialism apart from other photographic practices at the time. This notion of perfection is what really captures my attention. What I find quite interesting is that looking into this aesthetic every man
