Color Study

Artist and Piece: Matisse’s The Dance Colors: Orange and Blue (tints & shades) It was difficult to make the green colors and shades without phthalo green, so I added a small amount along with black for the bottom row. Maybe I should have added more yellow to the greens instead of my orange mixture?

Artist Inspiration

I have been following the Instagram accounts of several visual and graphic artists who I am inspired by. I definitely love the loose, impressionistic style that these three artists share. I also love painting still lives, so I find that I am more passionate about paintings of objects with many shadows, highlights, and colors. I …

Artist Inspiration

Immediately, one of my favorite artists, Banksy, is definitely someone that inspires me. I wouldn’t say that his graffiti style is what inspires me and my personal artwork per say, I find that his creativity in his subject matter and his presentation is what I find most compelling about him. For example, the stunt from …

Weekly Artist #1: Kristoffer Zetterstrand

Kristoffer Zetterstrand (https://zetterstrand.com/) is a Swedish artist best known for his Minecraft paintings. His early works are an interesting mix of retro and classical, sometimes suspended in mid-air like models set out for display. His use of strong, clear shadows show how flat the pixelated “props” are even in his own fictional space. His process …

Carolyn

Artist Inspiration

I really like @whereissofi (https://www.instagram.com/whereissofi/?hl=en) on Instagram’s watercolor paintings. I end up doing portraiture a lot, and I admire her ability to capture expression and movement. I also like how they look realistic/proportionally accurate, but are still stylized in her own mystical way.

My artist inspiration is Sarah Bahbah. The moment I saw her work I was instantly connected to it. The ability she has to capture real moments regarding her thoughts through the dialogue of her subjects is truly fascinating. Through her work she conquers breaking down the barriers that women face daily with showing their true …

Sarah

Artist Inspiration

I take a lot of inspiration from one of Picasso’s paintings, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (seen below). I remember discussing this work in Prof. Sawicki’s ART-220 class a couple semesters ago, and I loved everything from the story behind it to the color palette used. It’s such a powerful piece and Picasso’s style of painting only …

Architect and Color

For my architect inspiration I chose Gert Wingårdh, a Swedish architect. His firm is Wingårdh Arkitektkontor, and they have designed some pretty amazing buildings utilizing bright, vibrant color. The Emporia shopping center from different angles can look like a completely different structure. Lighting is also used brilliantly. I really like the Kuggen Building because it …

Week 1: Favorite Artist

One of my new favorite artists is Yayoi Kusama. Last semester I was able to take Women in Art with professor Lucy Gans, and throughout the semester I learned about a lot of new artists, Yayoi being one of them. I really enjoyed getting to learn out her due to the fact that she doesn’t …

Osaze Akil is one of my fav contemporary artists. He is a visual artist from Georgia. One of the many reasons I love his works is they depict African people in a divine way and put an emphasis on Black Love and Black Solidarity. I inserted a picture of him and two of his works …
