assignment #3

Murakami

Today we mentioned Japanese pop art in class. It seems that to discuss digital painting, it is essential to mention Murakami. He is heavily influenced by Japanese animation and culture. He mainly does large scale painting, but has done a few videos and sculpture too.

Roy Lichtenstein is one of my favorite artists, and one who I feel is appropriate to this class. Some of his best work goes beyond taking comics and turning them into paintings, by turning comics into paintings of comics, into sculptures. I got to see some of his sculptures in person in DC.

Assignment #2

images week #1

Banksy art is focused on combining images (often well known images) in a surprising, shocking, and usually political context. I feel that his choice of image combination, along with the context of where he may display his work is applicable to this class. After all, his work to assemble separate pictures with stencils are not that much different then photoshoping a few images together.
