The image I have chosen is a Coca-Cola bottle that is drawn on the side walk but shaded to look three dimensional. The color contrasts seem to fit well with the side walk color since every detail around the drawer has to be taken into effect. Julian Beever has made pavement drawings for over ten years. He has worked in the United Kingdom., Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, the United States of America and Australia. The artist is known as the sidewalk chalk guy who goes to random cities, mostly New York and draws on the side walk to make a life like creation. The bottle is done to make it look as real as possible and I think that was achieved . The pavement drawings have included both renderings of old masters plus a wealth of original inventive pieces of work. Anamorphic illusions drawn in a special distortion in order to create an impression of 3 dimensions when seen from one particular viewpoint. Over all, I thought this was a good drawing it takes some time and a lot of techniques to make this look as life like as it does. The way it seems to come to life makes someone wonder how it was done.

The painting I have chosen is a multiple array of paintings that all seem to relate to each other in some ways. One way that they are all related are the colors, they all seem to follow the same color balances, it is also kept darker which makes the painting more mysterious. They all seem to follow the same texture patterns. They all compliment each others by facial expressions or a depth of sadness. There is not any negative space in the painting and if there is it is used with some relevance to the other pictures in the painting. It is drawn with wider definite lines that catch ones attention when looking directly at the piece. In this piece of art there is a definite texture in painting stimulates two different senses. This makes it a unique element of art. Over all, I like this work of art it has a look as if it is windy or a breeze is going through the painting, it gives it a tropical feel. Maybe the artist was not trying to make them all match but in my opinion I like they way the compliment each other. It is a unique style the artist has to create this type of work.

The painting I have chosen is just a piece of work that was created in an hour, using multiple colors and textures. I like this because it wasn’t something that was planned out or drawn out it was something that just happened. It is a free painting, I like the color choices they are warm colors that give the painting a sense of variety. There is a ton of negative space but it some how makes this painting work. It is dark and has a sense that just fades as one looks down. It is a simple but technical design; that artist seems satisfied with it even though it was simple most artists would just be disappointed with what they created and go over it again and again so the colors would blend through. These are raw colors which capture the eye. Over all, I think this is a good painting, it is just unique and does not have meaning so that makes it exciting. The textures in this are many brush strokes on top of each other to create the look of multiple layers and a lot of hard work. Which also makes it something to look at and makes it creative.

The painting I has chosen is a tree struggling to break free. I like this piece of art because of how it has the appearance that it is going to just come right off the canvas. It reminds me of someone struggling to break free as they are growing since the tree is smaller. In this piece of art there is a definite texture in painting stimulates two different senses. This makes it a unique element of art. It makes one think of how this could separate into two different varieties. The pigment of the background color slightly contrasts with the color of the tree which makes it seem to come more alive since they are almost the same color but it is slightly darkened to show an effect in contrast. This is a landscape painting to an extent with the fact of a surreal tree, but with there isn’t a continuation of the on the scene. Everything in the painting seems to blend very well and compliment each other. Overall I think it is a good painting in my eyes it represents a something that needs to be free and branch off of itself and create some other work of art.

The image I have chosen is a digital eye. This piece shows a square texture with a futuristic effect. It gives the person looking at a multi-dimensional feel. It makes it seem that you are looking at it in many senses, you could look at it eight different ways or not more to make it look different. The depth of this photograph is amazing it captures some one looking at it; like a trap. With showing the human eye its gives the person looking at it a sense of confusion which becomes the area of focus in this piece. It eye is one of the first things I see when I look at it really explodes. The proportion of colors in this seem to rotate in a pattern that somehow balance the eye itself. Digital compositing is the process of digitally assembling multiple images to make a final image, typically for print, motion pictures or screen display; this work of art displays the colors. The image is multiple images in itself to compose one piece. It incorporates many color levels and contrasts to makes it something to look at. Overall, I believe it is something that would catches ones eye per say, into like this piece of art.

The image I have chosen is a silhouette of couple dancing in a projected background . This piece shows human relationship through a sense of color choices with balance of light and dark colors. This work has a selective focus through the camera angles. They do not show any facial expression. Silhouettes are most often made by a skilled silhouette artist by looking at a subject's profile, whether in person or from a photograph, and simply cutting out their likeness freehand. With the silhouettes blended into the background it catches ones eye with how intense the background is, but still gives you a sense of a passion between the couple. A (digital) color image is a digital image that includes color information for each pixel.For visually acceptable results, it is necessary (and almost sufficient) to provide three samples (color channels) for each pixel, which are interpreted as coordinates in some color space. The RGB color space is commonly used in computer displays, but other spaces such as YCbCr, HSV, and are often used in other contexts. Overall, I like this picture because of how it is displayed, I also like how everything is eye catching and makes one think about how the artist captured this moment.

I believe that we as people can define a place, but a place can also define us. It depends on how the person looks at it. We make our opinions of places depending how we see them, but the place is what makes us have opinions. Many of the artists in the Art: 21 series relate certain places into their artwork. They are usually places they have lived at or have had an important meaning to them. The Artist that I thought represented this well was Pepon Osorio. He contributed a barbershop scene and house into his work that represented his life growing up. It was interesting because a lot of family pictures were shown. There were many different places that had an affect on me when I was younger. Some of those places were my room, my grandparents house, closets, basements, and my grandparents barn. My room: Comfort, Grandparents house: Fun, Closets: Exploring, Basements: Playing, Grandparents barn: scared. One of those places I could describe is Closets. My grandparents upstairs closet was a pretty big room that had many random objects. Besides years of old clothes that had been passed from kid to kid, there was a countless amount of board games and stuffed animals. I remember feeling like i could get lost if I went back in too far because of all the covering clothes and stuff.
I think stories that are passed down from family are important because it actually affects you as a person. It gives you guidance on how to live life. I would make it an important story that people in my family could learn from and would give the idea of respect to value.
Some stories are told because they are something positive and reassuring to some. Stories that are passed down from generation to generation usually have some sort of morals that someone is trying to get across. If the story lacks meaning it will not be passed on or shared because it will hold no interest.
I believe that sketchbooks aren't really a work of art, but insteasd, they are used to form and build art. Journals and sketchbooks are used for brainstorming a final project. Journals are used to put thoughts into a final writing. Sketchbooks are used to visually put an idea on paper that could be used for a final project.
When I was 5 I didn't have a care in the world. My life was all about imagination and playing with the neighborhood kids. I remember the daily outside time was a must and the cartoons were always on. I remember starting out drawing and realizing that I had more talent that what I had noticed. Now, I feel like I have lost the innocence of everything that a 5 year old has. You understand reality and accept it. You wish that you could still not have a care in the world, but know that it will never happen again until you retire.
