Art Project

I have decided to do my art investigation project on Chris Ofili. I really liked the message he was sending through his painting "The Holy Virgin Mary". Also I like his life story, which makes me appreciate his art work and the message he sends through his art work more. I will also be giving my own review over that piece of work and try to find a second piece of work from him that the class has not seen. I liked how much controversy this particular piece of art caused. You have to really understand him and his back ground to truly understand the messages he is trying to convey in his art work. This is the Artist and piece of work I have chosen to do my ART PROJECT on.

Final Art Presentation

I plan to complete my final presentation on John T. Biggers. I am going to discuss how he began as an artist, the types of works (related to what we have learned) he has completed, and the legacy he has left behind right here in Houston, TX.

for my project I will try to explain why is Pablo Picasso's les demoiselles d'avignon so famous and so important in the creation of cubism. I will also discuss some of the other forms of arts that influenced the outcome of this painting as well as the origins and the preliminary sketches.

Albert Bierstadt

Michael Angelo

He was not only one of the best painters, but also a magnificent sculptor, he created such great pieces of work such as the interior of a famous Chappell, and the worldly known David. He is one of my all time favorite artist as he focuses greatly on reality and truth in a way.

My Art Project : Jackson Pollock

 

My Question?

What Makes Jackson Pollock's style Unique?

Research Paper and Presentation is on Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera is a Mexican artist which I have chosen due to his art style that demonstrates the struggles of mexican during revolution against the spanish. He shows the harsh times that mexicans had to endure and that is something that I have become interested in. He paints his political beliefs against the Mexican government and shows the cold truth that people were afraid of speaking against the Mexican government.
