What Is Bob Marley Image

Improved Essays
My favorite image in the museum of bad arts is the one on the left, which is Bob Marley. He was a well-known Rastafarian movement activist and also a world-renowned Reggae Music legend. In light of his strict vegetarian lifestyle, the artist decided to embed the tail of a small mammal on his dreadlocks to project irony to the music legend vegan lifestyle. This seemed somewhat bizarre to me because looking closely at the image; it had me thinking to myself whether that was a piece of fur that was hanging on the picture by mistake or it just happened to be captured in the photo. I believe this artist could have done a better job by displaying his/her intent more realistically by drawing an abstract painting reflecting Bob Marley and a piece of

    Upon arriving at the art museum, a giant, electric blue rope greets me at the entrance. The artwork surprises me since I did not expect to see such thing in a small museum. The rope comes out of from between a woman’s tattooed that stick out from a hole in the wall. It continuously extends from there and intertwines through bright white pillars on the ground level.

    Everyday we pass by a work of art and don't even acknowledge its existence. Art is everywhere we go, for example, a statue in a park is a work of art, it’s not only there for decorations. It has a purpose for being at that particular location, with hope that someone may notice it. Having the opportunity to learn about previous artworks, one of them really stood out to me from ancient Egypt. When an individual hears Egyptian art they mostly think about mummies, pyramids, or Pharaohs.…

Marilyn Monroe passed away not long before the prints were made. The silverspot was also an endangered species. I think that Warhol wanted people to have something to remember them both by. He put them in a whole new perspective that attracts people to them that may otherwise have not thought twice about them.…
