ReplyDeleteIm most inspired probably by imagination. I love dreams because i can be whatever i want in them and i controll them. I love dreams and everythign they are about i honestly don't believe in "nightmares" because its a waste of emotion to get upset over "nightmares" and i just love drawing dreams. I tried to find an artist i looked at all of their artwork and i dont like them at all. they are nothing like what i picture when i think of dreams and fantasy. So yep thats my inspiration.
Bah-bye
I am mostly inspired by words.Words help paint a picture.You can paint words just like you can paint a picture.The words of poetry help with a sense of emotion.Poetry can show depression,love,happiness,and anger.All of those emotions make for a great artwork.
ReplyDeleteI think Van Gogh shows expression in
ReplyDeletethe painting The Starry Night. Maybe he
shows feels sad.... The paintings also can
show happiness.... I also like the Artist...
Like how he shows emotions on his Painting...
He shows if he is happy or sad... Its the
way he uses color and lines....
i am inspired by my imagination and dreams you can picture something in your mind and use your imagination to bring your insperation to life some times i draw certain things and need a artistic spark to bring my creations to life on paper all i am saying is that your imagination could be used as a powerful art tool .
ReplyDeleteCarley sez:
ReplyDeleteI really can't explain how i am inspired. Inspiration for me comes from EVERYWHERE, quite literally. I am inspired by colors, and people, especially people, and sounds and words, language, poetry, nature, animals, places. Many things inspire me, and random things inspire me.
I chose to talk about Barbara Kruger:
CLICK HERE TO LOOK AT HER PICTURE
[Title: You Are Not Yourself
Medium: Photo collage
Size: 182.9 x 121.9 cm Image from World's Women On-line ]
She is inspired by feminism. Words are used in her artwork to portray a feeling. it gets the messege across without being literally direct. Feminism is evident in her work because even the images she alters have something to do with it, and the words add to it.
I am mostly inspired by images, like Andy Warhol.
ReplyDeleteI like to look at things and then draw or paint them. I'm not really good at picturing things in my head and then putting them on paper.

I love the Marilyn Monroe painting by Andy Warhol. I think that his inspiration is evident in what he does because he models most of his artwork after famous things like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and the Campbells Soup Can. I really, really love Andy Warhol and I like all of his artwork.

I chose Vignettes of nature - observation Georgia O'Keeffe. The picture I chose was of red snapdragons. She had so much detail in that picture. I believe that showed her love of nature. I found her picture really lifelike. Also in nature there is more than one scene.
ReplyDeleteImagination - dreams - fantasy H. Rousseau, R. Magritte, Selkie Whitebear. I like these kind of paintings they are fun to really look at. they are very interesting to see whats going on in thier painting.

Kelci: I'm inspired by a lot of different things, but recently, it's been more based on war and history-type stuff (mostly war). I choose Picasso's 'The Tragedy' because the colors go together, and it's not abstract. (http://www.nga.gov/cgi-bin/pimage?46388+0+0)
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that most of his work doesn't have to do with the inspiration (but it's not like I know what he was thinking). But my opinion of Picasso is that he's good at his type of art.
