Groups Post

 I chose this abstract artwork because it represents real-world imagery of the battle of gettysburg. When learning about the battle this image is a typical image which is shown to depict the battle.
This painting goes with what we were discussing about the realistic paintings. What we see through the painting looks exactly like what we would see through our own eyes. Its what my professor calls a "super" real painting.

Human Head Post

 I saw this painting and it automatically stood out for me. Its like a cross from Andy Warhol to Vasily i believe. Its so dynamic and unbelievable. Its representational because you can clearly see two dogs in the painting. This can also be seen as a painterly piece of Art.
This is an image of many images. I saw this because when one looks at this they automatically just see the titanic. But in this tragic image its not only the titanic but its also an image of those who attempted to escape the titanic. Also an image of the iceberg which took the ship to the bottom of the ocean. This painting can also be seen as a linear painting.

Content and Iconic Art

This i see as content art because there is so much going on, even though it can be seen as iconic as well because of the saint in the artwork. The mother assisting her children in the forest, the father attempting to help her because night fall is coming soon, there is so much content in this painting that you can take it as you please.

I choose this photo because its iconic to our generation. This artwork has become a symbol for change and its icon is now our president, which just so happens to be the first african american president.

Week 2

This photo of a sidewalk with a big chunk sitting on the side can be seen as two dimensional. Im not sure if I am correct or not but this can probably be seen as the chunk to the right being positive space and the chunk missing as negative space.

This photo is a very large scaled woman who is apparently flexible =). What I liked about this sculpture is that it was proportionate to the rest of the body though it was made in a very large scale. The texture of this is fine and smooth
