Inkblot

This inkblot print can be various images but it can be different to other people. This inkblot looks like a couple of things to me. The first thing my subconscious sees is the two heads coming out of the sides. It looks two people are poking their heads out to look around around a corner. Next, it looks like two people on both sides looking at their hands or phones. The bottom of the inkblot can be their arms and the lower half of their bodies. To reemphasize, inkblots look different to everyone because of their subconscious.

Dada

This sculpture by Marcel Duchamp is unlike anything people used to be used to. It disrupted what people normally thought to be a sculpture was. This is why it fits into the Dada movement. It blatantly does the opposite of what art was supposed to be. It is basically the opposite of art, which came to be realized as its own aspect of art. To finish, Marcel Duchamp, a Dadaist, created this artwork to contradict the normal idea of art.

In class, we created portraits of real nobodies that closely resembled our names and the process was easy overall. To begin, I had to find a portrait of a man with my name. I could not find one, so I picked the closest picture I saw. Moreover, we drew the pictures on a larger poster on a gridded scale, then we painted it with one color and different shades and tints of it, which is called a monochromatic painting. To end my thoughts, the portrait making process was overall easy and successful.

Cope2 Art

This is a piece of street art by graffiti artist Cope2. He used various colors to create multiple moods. He created retro and futuristic designs. To begin, he creted retro designs to create a nostalgic mood. He used old school background designs with the house and the bubbles. Moreover, he used futuristic designs to create a futuristic mood. He used stars and "wildstyle" graffiti to make his art catch a viewer's eye. To end my thoughts, Cope2 used different colors and shapes to create several moods.

Carrie Mae Weems

I can relate to Carrie Mae Weems's art in many ways. Initially, I can relate to this artwork mainly because the subject of it is black. I am a black male and this reminds me of my ancestry from many years back. Also, I can relate to this because it reminds me of slavery. My ancestors were slaves and I have always been against the way we were used in previous years. Lastly, I can relate to this because I have learned a lot about slavery in history classes. It makes me remember my past years in school in my previous history classes. To close, Carrie Mae Weems's art is very inspiring and I can relate to it.
