American Cholo
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by Grant Wood and his art piece American gothic. What i did was change the picture to kind of represent what are society is and how Grant Wood would see us. Society's teenagers are predominatly seen as hulagins that are always in the street and doing bad things, so i decided to create that throught my appropriated art work. I chose to make them into cholos because they are the stereotype if what a gangbanger is.
1. Moby dick revisited
ReplyDelete2. The artist who's artwork I appropriated is banksy. I was inspired by his work and a book and combined it. I also took images from gaming magazines. I also borrowed ideas from banksy's art style.
I was inspired by the way I did my background because when I strated doing it I didnt know it was going to come out the way it did. At the end my background made it staind out. What I used were images from google. What I searched for was pictures of fruits so I was able to work over them. What I was trying to express was that there are ladys out there that are crazy and can kill people just by doing little things.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see my art work is about a old lady that used to hate people, and she will try to kill them by putting things in fruit and making them eat it.
"The Sail"
ReplyDeleteThe artist whose images I took to help appropriate my artwork is named Odilon Redon. The main artwork that was used from his artwork "Flower Clouds" was the boat that sails through the painting. I took the boat and added two people onto it to mainly to create my story. My artwork is mainly about the story of a father and son named George that would always sail on their boat and go fishing; creating a special form of bond between the two. George is later separated from the father due to the divorce of the mother and father, though they still managed to go fishing every once in a while. Time passes by and the George is a lot older. He recieves a phone call with the news of his father's death due to a heart attack (possibly from a broken heart). George still takes time out of his life to go fishing and reminisce the times shared between him and his father. He misses him dearly, but it's almost as if he's still with him and never left in the first place. Hope you guys enjoyed the artwork and story behind it.
The Shopaholic?
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh "The Starry Night." My artwork is about a girl who is inlove with purses and has become very selfish. The girl overcame her selfishness by sewing (hint. why there are lines drawn connecting pictures). Her friends were pleased with her progress. How does "The Starry Night" fall into place? The girl and her friends take strolls in the park---reminiscing on her past issues with being selfish and over spending. The moral of the story is "no one wants to be alone without friends."
I found this piece at Bezazian. Because I am a librarian I didn't take it with me because I want lots of other people to see these and havve a chance to comment. I immediately recognized the "Starry Night" elements because I love Van Gogh. Then the title and the rest of the art piece intriqued me. Nice juxtaposition of ideas and images.
Delete"The Ex boyfriend"
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by Andy Warhol. I basically altered the famous Marilyn Monroe colorful painting and flipped it upside down, I also added a few details to alter her appearance as more modern. Now a days everyone wears crosses so I put one on her forehead to make her look like a teenager. I borrowed ideas from my peers pretty much. My surroundings. It's a message to youth and as a legend, that Marilyn Monroe will always be beautiful!
THE FLOWERS
ReplyDeleteI was inpired by hans bollongier's artwork "Still life with flowers"
I took images from that artwork and a magazine.
I borrowed ideas from hans bollongier and appropriated the style of "still life with flowers". Creating a story about a woman who gets these flowers and later gets proposed to unexpectedly.
Title: Devour
ReplyDeleteBy: Jesus Zepeda
I was inspired by Banksy's documentary, "Exit Through the Gift Shop." I used Banksy's image of a kneeling angel holding a skull. With this painting I intended to portray the different of a single person's persoality . The clear difference of thought within a person. I wanted to express the conflict and the colisions of a persons personality traits. Each person chooses at least one aspect of themselves to destroy, to devour, to hide from the world. We all devour our urges, our instincts, and our reactions at some point. You choose what to devour, you choose the reason to do so. Don't conform to expectations.
"The Storm"
ReplyDelete- I was inspired by Vincent van Goh's paintings.
- I took these images from him and its one of the paintings that i love from Van Goh, it is called Starry Night.
- I really didn't borrow ideas from any other artist except for Van Goh. And i incorporated my own ideas like the fireworks and waves.
I was trying to express the feeling of a storm and a surreal setting.
Basically my painting is about a town that everyone likes to visit because there are always storms that happen for no reason. A lot of people like to go and see it, the storm happens for a quick 5 minutes and my painting tells how the storm would look like when people in the town experience it. The town would get destroyed during the storm and at the end everything would go back to normal.
Sadness
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by Banksy's art it was cool. I like how his art looked. But, I decided to do my own kind of art.I took images from the internet. I found it in this webpage where you can view different art there is. I borrowed ideas from my own picture I picked. I tried looking at the background for ideas. I appropriated the style from the background of my picture. There was hieroglyphics on the back so I decided that was going to be the background/style.
My artwork is about expressing her culture with heiroglyphics. The heiroglyphics say things written in their language in which means that shes proud of her culture but her face expression doesn't and that the reason I called it Sadness.
Einstein The Great
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by an unknown artist that has made his art into a popular t-shirt sold to the public. I decided to appropriate the image of Einstein as the center of the artwork with words, and themes that are related with Einstein. I made in into a collage of images and words because I felt that there were many things to describe his brilliance as an individual. As society, we connote Einstein as a figure of intelligence and a symbol of science, and that is what I tried to express in my artwork.
"War"
ReplyDeleteThe name of the artist whom I appropriated from is unknown. The original painting invovled one of the greek gods, Zeus, in war with a 6 headed dragon. I'm a type of person that's into war video games as well as greek mythology. I combined some ideas from my video game experience, and the painting of Zeus. I focused on technology and determination. In my painting, a human is trying to defeat a dragon with a stick. Based on my knowledge, the stick, spear and fire were one of the first weapons our ancestors used to survive. However, the setting of my painting is a few years into the future. I don't make that clear in my painting but I'm trying to potray how potential nuclear warfare can affect our society.
"The Three Men"
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by Ibrahim el-Salani. I took images from the same artist I was inspired by. I really didn't borrow ideas from anyone I just went with the flow. I am trying to make everything fit. I really didn't know it was going to come out the way it did. The meaning my art was something that just popped in my head. It wasn't anything special. I really wanted everything coordinated. I really wanted to make everything pop especially the middle big picture. I wanted all my pictures to stick out. But I wanted my background to fit the pictures.
"A Day in Paris"
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by Gustave Caillebotte and took pictures from his painting "Paris Street; Rainy Day." I liked the way he drew the buildings and background, it makes the people in the painting look fascinated. When I was making my background before I included the appropriated art I used from his painting, I thought of the idea of the background myself. I knew Paris was famous for the Eiffel Tower and the area around it so I wanted to show more of the city in my drawing and put people/tourists in it to emphasize it's popularity.
"Color Meets Nature"
ReplyDeleteI appropriated from Kanari Shakuyaku. When I was working on my art piece I first started to envision it having a lot of colors within it, but I've noticed that I use that same technique with every project I have done so far. So as I looked around the class I began to get an image in my head of what I wanted to do. So I decided to mix color and darkness to make it into something unique. Doing this made me think if a time in which I feel that the world will experience, darkness. This project for me was a challenge because I don't feel as though I have any artistic ability or skills, but with the help and idea of those at my station I was able to bring out something different within my self that I thought I never could
"toast"
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by an artist who made a piece of art of one of my favorite musicians. I used a sort of wall type background, trying to give it an urban kind of feel. I always like dripped paint stains so i wanted to incorporate that in my art piece. Its kind of a tribute to a dead musician.
It feels like this is a random beautiful piece seen on a subway wall. Maybe my imagination but it's almost like in the paint dripping in the middle there's a figure in the middle arms spread like a Crucifixion...musicians are in danger of being crucified either due to lifestyle or society's pressures.
Delete"Synchronicity"
ReplyDeleteI appropriated art from Blek le Rat of a man and a woman dancing. When doing my piece I was thinking of something to counter the love and emotion between these two characters. What I did was put them in a scenario where love and that type of emotion generally would not be seen, war. I placed the dancing couple in the middle of a nuclear bomb falling showing the love and war and how two separate things can come to getter in complete randomness. This is where the title comes from because synchronicity is when two things that generally don't go together some how come together with a meaningful manner.
