A Hunger Artist

In Art 21, Katharina Grosse shares her belief that all artists are “tricksters”. Her art fluently expresses this. Grosse’s sculptures distort one’s point of view; one minute they feel like a giant and the next like an ant. This distortion helps people realize that perspective can be easily influenced, and that art has the ability to mold and transform them. Art distorts our perception of what things truly are, causing us to reflect on and learn from it. Through her novel Girl with a Pearl…

In the early 1500s, Pope Julius II ordered an artist by the name of Raphael to create one of the world’s most advanced artistic pieces of its time. Raphael’s “School of Athens” (among many others) establishes a new tone for Renaissance artists. As new color pallets arose and depth perception began to develop, Renaissance art began to parallel with its historical context through its complex societal concepts and profound artistic representations. In this painting, Raphael portrays historical…

artwork back to the factory that it was made in but the urinal also has the general shape that resembled a fat cartoon character that was in the familiar comic book strip. Prager goes on to say that he agrees with some of his other colleagues that an artist cannot repeat this type of “art” forever or it would lose its affect that it makes on the audience. He even goes as far as to say that it would become a cliché, but when it is done periodically the style of ready made art can comment on the…

Art speaks to us in ways that words alone cannot. Everyone conveys a different story from a single piece of artwork and its crazy how different people see things. Not only does art express many emotions that the artist is feeling, but it helps them connect with their viewers through the piece.

A piece…

There are many different types of art. Some forms of art include a painting, sculpture, photograph, architecture, music, and dance.

Comparing artists and their music has gone on since music first began. Each person thinks their favorite artist’s album is the best, while the other argues that his is the best. Just like any other entertainment category, it is very hard to convince the other person that you are right, even though the evidence is shouting out at them. Which is truly better? Two popular artists on each end of the spectrum of popularity with one artist’s album being on the Billboard 200 chart at number one and the…

Artist's music in advertising is a hotly debated subject in today's society. This topic should definitely be opposed. Artist music advertising is a way for music artists to help a company sell their products with a catchy tune or song. Sometimes it's a trick for you so they can make money even though the product is really useless. In the world today everything's a trick. First of all, "Endorsement deals can keep a musician afloat, but it can also take the focus away from what really…

exposed to many new, distinct artists and art forms over the course of a semester, all of whom introduced me to ways of creating that I would never have considered or examined on my own, I have chosen to discuss the three whose work intrigues me the most: Kara Walker, William Kentridge, and Louise Despont. Each of their styles is unique, focusing on different messages and/or themes in different mediums, but all are artistic standouts. Kara Walker is an American artist holding a BFA from the…

He explains his painting techniques while he is working on his current project- new painting with an…
