Artist 21 videos

Jeff Koons: Is an artist who uses many different materials and objects in his work. His work is different from other artist I have scene because he uses many different bold objects in his work that send a message and work with his style. He is a very exact artist, so many of the things that he does happen for a reason. I can relate to his work because I think that using different materials in one piece of art work can make a great piece for the artist. Jeff Koons is trying to get different messages out with each piece of at work. One time what he did was put a big blown up lobster in a room and said that if you looked at it for a long period of time you would begin to picture something being burned by the stake. 

Marry Heilmann: Is an artist who started to create art in hopes of getting some sort of response from the people who look at it. She was someone who wanted the artist to think about what they where looking at and ask themselves questions. She wanted some responses that would make her look at her work and make her think about what she was doing. She became an abstract painter. One thing she tends to think about with her work is scale, titles, and possible music that may be playing in the background. One thing I liked is that with some of her paintings she wants to tell a story. As apposed to Jeff Koons, who uses lots of different mediums in his work, she mainly uses paint. Marry Heilmann tries to get emotions across in her work. I can relate to some of aspects of her work, like choosing a title that fits, but other parts I can relate to because when I am making a picture or taking a photo I just do it and don't think about what other people may thing about it.

  1. Nice work Ysabel.

    When describing Koons' work you say that using different materials in one work can make it great. Why do you think this is so?

    How does Heilman manage to tell a story or communicate an emotion in her work work with so few colors and shapes?

  2. I think that when you use more then one material in a work of art you make the piece more interesting. Using watercolors and paints and objects that pop out really make me think more about the piece and enjoy it more then say a black and white pencil drawing with no color whats so ever.

    Mary Heilmann manages to tell a story through her work or an emotion just with the colors and shapes by giving her pieces interesting titles and well as getting inspiration from many different pictures and scenes that giver her an idea to use color to communicate in her work. I like that she isn't trying to paint a scene or anything, but using the colors from the scene to make the painting stand out.
