eduardo paolozzi

The best sculpture so far that I have seen is the giant robot thing. It is freaking amazing and I want to go see it. I love how everything he creates is GIANT. I mean GIANT!!!! He is awesome, I never had even heard of him until I was browsing through google for random sculptors. He is amazing. I can not even begin to explain how awesome he is. I really love the giant head that is all broken up, but yet put back together.

Cesar Baldeccini

Cesar Baldeccini is a very interesting sculptor.  The bottom picture looks like a person or ghost just melting. It kinda reminds me of like Ghostbusters, with the slimer thing, or the giant marshmallow man. The Giant Thumb has to be one of my favorite pieces by him. It is just so ridiculous and random, and I love it. The top picture I dont really understand, I dont know what it is but it looked pretty damn cool.

Antony Gormley

I really love this piece Building VI outside the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Montreal, Canada. Gormley really seems to bring this figure to life by celebrating his own form. I am happy to introduce Antony because his  work really illustrates an artist putting himself into his sculpture.

Ben Sanchez

Ben Sanchez is a tattoo artist that used to work for Spit Shade with Jay O'leary. Now he works at Sideshow on Emerald. The bottom picture is of my boyfriend's chest piece that took over 40 hours and still has more work to do on it. The reason I am writing about Ben is because I love his art work and how bright of colors he uses. I love it. 

Art 108

I actually really enjoyed this class even though I had trouble in the beginning. But this class has helped me break out of my shell of just drawing to actually exploring the different types of sculpture art. I am glad i took this class. I still think I am going to stick to drawing.

Brian Froud

As everyone knows, I love fairies, love them and Brian Froud is my absolute favorite fairy artist. I love the colors and the way he draws them, I will soon have a sleeve of fairies tattooed on my arm and I am going to use his art work. I own 3 of his books and plan on getting the rest of them. I love this man.

Matt Barney

Matt Barney is awesome. The second picture reminds me of Mr. Tumnus from The Chronicles of Narnia, except he is not as cute as Mr. Tumnus. The bottom picture is just odd. ODD. What the hell is that? It looks like a mix of a chicken and vampire type thing...I don't get it. The first picture is really cool actually, it looks like a were-cheetah or something. He is great.

Ann Hamilton

Ann hamilton's work is very interesting, I really do not know how to feel about it. Its like, I like it but then again it kind of freaks me out. The bottom picture is the creepiest I think. Reminds of something that would be in Silent Hill or some horror movie. I do like the mouth pictures, the one with hair in it is disgusting, but awesome at the same time. And the one with the rocks is just weird.

I really liked this body transformation project, it made me think out side of the box and brought me out of my comfort zone.

Compare Contrast of Yinka Shonibare and Tim Hawkinson

Tim Hawkinson and Yinka Shonibare have a few things in common but are very different types of artists. They both concentrate on the human body. But they use the human body n different ways. Tim Hawkinson is inspired by the ideas of the human body, when Yinka Shonibare uses the human body to make a statement about certain issues, like racial, Hierarchy, nature, culture and really loves to use costumes from the French Revolution. Tim Hawkinson uses photography and tv when Yinka does sculpture. They are two very different but very similar artists and I respect both of them dearly.

Museum Research

I went to the Old Pen and took the tour. While going through the tour, there were many exhibits on artifacts from when the Pen was active. Tattoo paraphernalia and weapons. Both of the exhibits were very interesting and informative. I really liked how they categorized them in reference to when they were created and how dangerous they were. I enjoyed the exhibits and my time that I spent there, it was very interesting.
