Abstract Art

Abstract art fits into God’s creative order because it allows people to express themselves and let out what they are feeling. Abstract art creates a distinct form of expression that shows individuality and originality. Abstract art may seem random, but it has a specific design and set up that enhances the feelings that the artist is trying to get across. Many works of art that are considered abstract are carefully planned out before the artist actually begins working on the final product so that everything that the artist is trying to show is shown clearly to the viewer. Abstract are is an important part of the art world and God’s world. It creates a creative form of expressing oneself while still maintaining order and a specific design.

SKETCHES!!!

3 drawings

Image Drawn 3 Times

Three different emotional sketches

The reason why I picked drawing different values is that this work is my favorite subject.

I was excited myself that I could draw differently with stippling, blending, and cross-hatching on one same scene. What I most concerned on this project is the stippling one. It took the longest

time; however it became the most unique picture. I enjoyed this project , especially this topic!

Kwon,Sina is my favorite Korean illustrator, and she has been woked on lots of cover designs of famous Korean writers' books.
Most of her drawings seem to be based on fairy tales or fantasy stories, and there are lots of imaginations from her artworks. I like her drawing style and her way to use colors on the pictures. You will experience her fantasic world of art if you go to this site!!

I think james rosenquist is great. the first time i saw a painting of his, it was really big and i thought it was a print, but when i looked closely, i saw that it was paint. i think he's one of the best pop artist and the most gifted in technique.

Interesting Site

My favorite artist is Marc Chagall, and this site is for his all works at Weinstein Gallery. The reason why I selected this site is that I can see all the images at one time first and I can see all the titles and dates so easily. You should go also and enjoy Chagall's wonderful works here.

Thomas Hart Benton

Title: Covered Wagon

Date: 1944

I like this piece of art work because it emphasizes the aspects of traveling on a long journey. Fatigue can be seen in the animals and as well as in the people's expressions and figures, as they walk slighty hunched over next to the wagon. The light sky contrasts the darkened cloud towering above them perhaps symbolizing that the worst part of this expedition is over.

Artist Blog

The artist drawing is called The Boy from the sun. I thought this drawing was particularly interesting because the artist created a more realistic scene above the trees but as you work down the drawing he begins to get more creative and imaginative. Also the drawing was very colorful and interesting, it caught my eye.
