Rock - Dave Mckean This artwork is McKean who is known for his multimedia talents. This happens to be a photo edit. The realistic effect of this piece makes it extraordinary and makes you believe you are looking at a superhero of some sorts. I personally am impressed by this piece because it has such detail not only in the original portrait but the skill of editing is remarkable. |

untitled - Peter Blake
Peter Blake is another pop artist like Andy Warhol. He is known for his collages. I find most of his collages very interesting due to the iconic images and bright color schemes. I enjoy how his images look like they all have a high grain on them because it adds a vintage effect on them. This collage I like especially because I feel like its the stereotypical embodiment of the 50s in America.

Tiny Person Huge Sofa - Jean Jullien
Jean Jullien is an Instagram artist I found while looking for art to blog about. I noticed he uses very basic lines and shapes and most of his work is based on one color. I really like this work because although it is basic it appears really clean and interesting. For instance, the painting on the left seems like a red couch but once you look closer there is a tiny person which keeps this painting interesting.

Jumps - Philippe Halsman
Philippe Halsman is a famous portrait photographer who was born in Russia and later moved to the U.S. I enjoy his photography because all of his portraits capture a more humorous side of all it's subjects. To make the portraits even more interesting than they already are the subjects are usually celebrities. The black and white coloring of every portrait also makes them very simple yet clean photos.

The Broken Column - Frida Kahlo
Kahlo being one of Mexico’s most famous artists even surpassing her husband Diego Rivera in popularity, was known for her self portraits. Many of these portraits were very dark and strange due to Kahlo painting about her feelings after her traumatic bus accident when she was young. This painting shows Kahlo with a mechanical spine and portrays the pain she went through after her accident.

Gingerbread baby - Jan Brett Jan Brett is known for her embedding of text into her images, of course this image depicts this perfectly. The use of warm colors to contrast the blue in the background makes a stunning image. The detail to the shading on the baked gingerbread man is also to note. |

Gunshot Wedding - Danny Galieote
Danny Galieote has an collection of paintings called 'femme fetal' which this painting came from. I like the twisted take on stereotypical women. I think Galieote's style is also very traditional with a modern take but he still makes it unique. I personally like this painting because the main focus is on the woman's back side and then you are surprised when you realize she is holding a shot gun.

I admire Mitchell's work because he manages to make very boring settings into very interesting photos. This photo is just in an office space that seems to be outdates, as seen by the subjects clothes, and yet it seems to be a very fresh take on it. I enjoy this due to the monotone colors of the top portion of the photograph but the colorful background: the floor tiles, seat, and plant.

“SWEAT” - Spencer Mcmullen
Another artist I found while I was scrolling through tumblr. Looking at McMullen’s art I notice very bright colors mixed with ordinary situations. The backgrounds are always very fun and playful throughout all of the work as you can see by the bright colors and drawing of a clown in the background of this piece. I like this work because it looks like it was colored by marked and has the look that a 4th grader colored it. I actually think this makes the work that much more interesting due to the subjects of the drawing being drawn very carefully and I think the contrast between the precision of the drawing and the messy ness of the coloring makes the art that much cooler.

Bomb Hugger - Banksy
Banksy is an anonymous street artist known for his very political pieces. I personally have always admired Banksy's work and his messages. In the mural to the left a girl is painted to be holding a bomb. This hints at the strong war influences children have to go through starting at a young age. I personally agree with the message and think the is very powerful.

My Friends at a Show - Sophia Dueñas
I like how in every part of this painting (the foreground, middle, and background) there’s something to be seen. Although it’s all people everyone is very different from the one next to it. I like how the bright colors go against the dark background and how detail is important to pay attention to.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa - Hokusai
This is one of the most famous paintings to ever grow popularity. I of course only know this painting by Hokusai which gives him a sort of Grant Wood vibe to his work as an artist. The very basic color palette makes for a very aesthetically pleasing painting with very intricate details.

This art is from one of my favorite albums and I find it very fascinating because of how good it was created. The detail on the marble and it's distortion to the lines makes the whole photo very psychedelic. I also think the photo captures the whole essence of the album very well. I also enjoy that this is computer art because I don't really get to talk about computer art that I enjoy.

All of his photos seem to capture everyday moments in a larger than life way. I love this photo because I have never seen a skating shot as cool as this one. The photo has many interesting coloring from the red of the board and socks to the bright blue of the sky in the background.

White Ferrari concept art - Tyler Simien
I found this while scrolling in twitter and the picture itself is supposed to be a fan made cover art to the song “White Ferrari” by Frank Ocean. I personally love how this looks like an ad from the 80s and the simplicity of it. This happens to be one of my favorite songs so to see such a cool cover art for it is amazing and I think this artist captured it perfectly. I also notice how the border to the photo makes it more professional looking and make the piece as a whole go together.

Who Knew the Devil Had Nice Eye Lashes - Wyatt
Wyatt is one of my favorite artists. His style is twisted and unique and I have never seen anything like it. He takes a devilish style on art and the normality's of life. I like the simplicity of the coloring and the fact it seems like it was gone on the go in the middle of the day. It's a realistic style and I enjoy it.

The Irony Of A Negro Policmen - Jean-Michel Basquiat
Basquiat is a unique artist in my eyes. The use of abstract art mixed with normal makes such a strange yet captivating style. The paintings almost look as if a child drew them and was aware of social issues. This drawing looks like something out of a nightmare and looks scary almost.

False Ending - Me This is something I did and I really like it due to its coloring. Although the T.V. and background are both white I think the different shades make a very good contrast. I also like the inverted version of the reflections that were on the original picture. I think the coloring of the text alone makes a very good contrast. |

With the black and white coloring to the intense shading this drawing is very well thought out. The creativity of the piece itself is also notable. The detail of the background to look like a table is also important to pulling this whole piece together.

Picasso is known for his surrealist style but this painting is anything but that. This painting seems very sad whether it being the image it portrays or it's color palette. The old man seems to be very sick and poor which makes the painting even more sad. This is probably very different than most of Picasso's other works because it has a very sad message.

The coloring of this piece is very strong but makes a very good piece with its variations in colors.

This painting is very nice in the fact it almost looks like a low quality picture. The subjects seem to be getting ready for a recital and the boy language and facial expressions make the painting even more realistic. The best part of this painting is that all of the subjects seem to be doing something different which leads to the chaos feeling of this painting.

Don Quixote - Pablo Picasso
Picasso is known for his simplistic style but abstract elements. In this paitning you can see what appears to be scribbles but if you look closer you can see two men: one on a horse and another on a donkey. If one knows the story of Don Quixote they can infer that this is what this story is. The lines of this makes it seem as if a child drew it, something rare for Picasso.

Looking Foward to Yesterday- Margaret Keane
This piece is very unique for several reasons. Obviously the big eyes standout as they are an Keane specialty but the contrasting colors between the subjects is very notable. As the only person Turing around is darker than the ones looking foward and the girl turning around is looking into the sunset while the other look foward. This could be the objective of Keane’s composition and might even convey a metaphorical meaning as well.
Looking Foward to Yesterday- Margaret Keane
This piece is very unique for several reasons. Obviously the big eyes standout as they are an Keane specialty but the contrasting colors between the subjects is very notable. As the only person Turing around is darker than the ones looking foward and the girl turning around is looking into the sunset while the other look foward.

the mild mile west - banksy
In this mural bansky makes a play on the wild wild west by changing the w to an m and making it mild. The irony is that the only mild thing about this painting is the bear but even at that the bear is holding a torch. I like this painting because it depicts a riot with something as non harmful as a teddy bear, which was obviously banksy's intention.

Raphael - Little Angels
This painting has always been beautiful to me because its my grandmothers favorite painting which adds a lot of sentimental value to it. The aged affect to the painting gives it a much more sophisticated look. I also admire how the angels have a youthful body but their faces look very aged. The very uniform color palate also adds for the aesthetic of the painting.

These are the submissions for youth art month that got accepted. I personally didn't like any of our contenders for this competition but out of the ones that were chosen believed that the photo of the canyon deserved to be accepted. The location makes the photo unique but I have seen better pictures of the same type of canyons so I was not too impressed at the lack of uniqueness for the angle. The second contender I believed didn't deserve to be accepted or even an contender in our classes. I think the clear use of a png from google to make the birds is ammeter and the cloud not being a realistic coloring to go with the lake makes it messy. I believe we could've chosen better contenders. |

The Son of Man - Rene Magritte
The Son of Man is one of the most famously recognizable paintings in history. The countless number of homages that have been completed based off of this work are endless. I personally enjoy this painting because the mystery of the man makes the painting have so much more character.

The Creation of Adam - Michelangelo
This is one of the most famous biblical paintings in history. I personally like it because of its historical importance rather than its religious purpose. Michelangelo is one of the most renowned artists and it is obvious why due to his extreme detail and precision with his paintings.

HK and Kevin Doan - Ashlan Grey
Ashlan Grey is the photographer for one of my favorite bands, Brockhampton. I admire his work very much because most pictures have very simple backgrounds and the photos are emphasized on the subjects rather than the background. All the photos are in very normal day to day context which makes them that much more admirable.

Champion - Colin blu
Colin Blu draws on photos other people have taken and changes them into something completely different. I love this photo because the T.V. alien face drawn onto one of the 3 subjects has the same coloring as the people. From the small details to that, to the interesting drawings themselves, Blu makes photos that will leave you mesmerized by the detail and creativity.

Triple Vison Love Division - fnngn
Finn manages to make very strange drawings that still keep a very cool vibe about them. This drawing for example is almost so ugly that it's pretty. The sharp lines and bright colors leave a very interesting picture. Finn seems to make a nightmare look like a cool 80s cartoon all in one drawing. His style is unique and for this I admire him.

Marble Champion - Norman Rockwell
Norman Rockwell us known for capturing the stereotypical American life through realistic paintings. I like Rockewell's work because it looks like something straight out of a 50s advertisement. I enjoy this era and style of drawing because it captures the zeitgeist of the era perfectly. I also like all the attention to details Rockwell puts into his paintings.

Peak and Lake - Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams is known for his landscape photos and there is a strong reason for that. In the photo to the left the still lake, gloomy clouds, and high peak mountain make for a beautiful photo. The black and white also allows the viewer to imagine the beauty of the colors which I enjoy. I love this photo because it captures the beauty so well it looks fake.

Evan Tan - Wyatt
Evan Tan is a photographer I admire due to his composition. I enjoy that every photo is purposefully arranged like the one to the left. The subject is centered and the background is arranged so that the Ferris wheel is right above his head. I admire Tan as a photographer because although he uses film, which is starting to become a cliché, he makes his work unique and rare.

Homberg - Thomas Lamadieu
Thomas Lamadieu is an artist that has been recently circling around the internet for his interesting perspective on modern architecture and sky pictures. I think it is very creative that Lamadieu draws characters based off of everyday places that one wouldn't think to be places where creativity could thrive. I personally like this painting because of the tree being the man's hair and the sky turning into space.

Chur Bum - Tyler The Creator
This happens to be another cover art to another one of my favorite albums. The thing that makes this one more special is the fact that the musician made this art themselves. Just like much of Tyler's other art there is a very amateur feel to the art but it adds more character to the piece itself. Due to the misspelling of cherry bomb it makes the piece seem as if it were drawn by a child. Once again I think this cover captures the aura of the album and accurately portrays the music.

America Gothic Parody Beavis and Butthead - unknown
I enjoy this version of American gothic more because both characters are not angry and upset. Its very admirable that the image stays true tot the original although it is animated. I also enjoy beavis and butthead as a show so that probably influences my bias when it comes to this painting.

American Gothic - 10/23/17
Grant Wood was a one hit wonder when it came to paintings. American Gothic has been spoofed countless times since its rise in popularity began. I personally don't really like this image because the woman's face creeps me out and she looks very unhappy which makes the painting depressing. I do think it is very interesting how the painting was based on real people.

Andy Warhol is known for his pop art but many people disregard his photography. Much of his photography is portraits of celebrities he was friends with. Some how Warhol is able to capture each celebrities personality with the one shot polaroid. I personally enjoy his photography because of its simplicity,

I enjoy this piece due to it’s positive message and the simplicity of the drawing. The way the the face has details but they still manage to be simple is very note worthy in the artists style same with the fact it’s only black and white which keeps the overall piece very simple.

These Times Will Never Change - Nick Rattigan
I would consider this piece typography and drawing due to the doodles in the right side of the picture. I chose this because I like the simplicity of the black and white and it was also made by one of my favorite musicians. The piece itself is tittled after a song and I think the painting accurately catches the vibe of the song.

The Flower Carrier - Diego Rivera
Diego Rivera is one of the most famous artists to ever come out of Mexico. He was one of the first artists to ever depict the true nature of the lower class of Mexico and for this I admire him. In this painting you can see the man on his knees holding a giant basket of flowers. This is something you might actually see on the streets of Mexico because that is something that the lower class does for money. I think it’s really important to share the truth about poverty in other countries and since it’s done through art I think it makes it special.

Reel Around The Fountain - @badartbymeghan
I found this piece on instagram by an artists named Meghan. I think the ugly style of the face and the illustrating of it makes it a very instetesting piece. I also like how the hand is cut off and holding the balloons in this drawing because it’s a detail I didn’t notice at first and it’s a very cool detail to have in a piece.

I personally really admire Zach Villere’s uniqueness and boldness of colors in his work. In this drawing as well there is always strange faces and overlapping that makes a very strange yet impelling image. Villere is a bedroom artist and visual artist as well which I admire for the fact both types of art he makes correlate in style.

Portrait of @bbyafrika - Brianna Arce (@ecrart)
This is work my friend Brianna did and I personally think it’s amazing. The fact she only uses pencil and is able to shade and make all the details she does is amazing. The accuracy of this drawing is amazing and I think the fact the hair is left uncolored puts a stress on the face and the detail of it which leaves for a better drawing. Most of Brianna’s work is pencil drawn and is very realistic to say none the least.

Daily Sketchbook Page 54 - Emma Marr
I found this artist by her cover art on a soundcloud cover and I personally think it’s very cool. Her art goes in many directions, from which she does very weird creepily drawn faces, to pieces more “normal” like this. I think her art doesn’t really go into a category as a whole besides maybe sketches but even at that she breaks those boundaries. I personally like her art and her styler and I very much like this drawing due to the overall usage of black and white but having the accented parts be baby blue.

Rosie the Riviter - J. Howard Miller
One of the most iconic propaganda poster that was made in the 1940s was made my artist J. Howard Miller. I am personally unfamiliar with his work besides this piece but by the painting itself I can tell his style is very realistic and almost like pop art or commercial/ads you’d seen in the 50s which means Miller was ahead of his time for what he was making. I pseronally love this image like most other people do and think that it’s sad to see that Miller goes unnoticed for his work in this iconic image.

Pay up or Shut up - Shepard Fairey
Shepard Fairey is a street artist known for his propaganda work. He is known for very quiet color schemes and muted photos. most known for Obama's 'HOPE' poster Fairey has a popular clothing brand called Obey. In the piece to the left you can see the words "All the free speech money can buy." Fairey put this to show that the media and public are often times silenced due to fear of repercussions. I personally love Fairey's work.

Marcus Oakley is an artist I found on instagram. I have mixed emotions on his art due to the basic-ness of it. Although I do like basic art in some cases I think the lack of color in Oakley's work makes it lack substance. Although I do appreciate the simple lines I don't appreciate the emptiness of his work as a whole.

Ignorance = Fear- Keith Haring
Keith Haring is personally one fo my favorite artists that I enjoyed even before we learned about him. I personally love his style and the bright colors together which makes his art so appealing to me. I choose this painting because it was one of the only pieces of Haring's that conveyed a message that wasn't inappropriate. I think the message in this is still relevant today even if AIDs isn't that big of a problem anymore. I think it was tragic that he died so young and hope people understood the seriousness of AIDs.

I also admire his way of capturing the face in a very realistic way but has a very surrealistic background.

Paul Maxwell is a abstract artist who makes very simple intriguing art. Most of his pieces have simple color pallets and very strong lines. Although I like some abstract art, I personally don't like Maxwell's work that much because it's too simple. Abstract is supposed to be simple but it is supposed to evoke emotions and the only emotion this makes me feel is angry due to the fact this sells for $1,000s of dollars. I personally think this looks like a picture of the sidewalk and doesn't have much effort into it.

Untitled - Tyler The Creator
Although Tyler The Creator is a singer he also paints in his free time. Usually its water colors with very vibrant shades. He usually has a celebrity or a portrait in each one, here he painted himself in green pants and painted a Donald Glover from the 'Atlanta' poster. Another thing his journal is famous for is hinting at his future projects, like in this one the blue shoe in the bottom right corner is his project with Converse that came out a couple weeks ago. I really like Tyler the Creator as an artist overall whether its musically or visually.

Her style has caught the attention of many people, including me.
