Banksy
Banksy
I love Banksy's work. His images are often have strong political content. I like this because he is not a pop artist, creating works for beauty rather than deeper meaning. Another interesting thing about Banksy is that his identity as of yet is unkown. His style is very recognizable with its stencil-like qualities. I love how his works are on the internet because as many of them are street art, it is impossible to transport them and also, a lot of them are in London, so one would have to travel to see them.

Love and Marriage
<3
This is the most original wedding invitation I have ever seen. I love the fact that it tells the story of the relationship between these two people in an extremely visually pleasing manner. Also, being a hopeless romantic, I think the story is absolutely adorable! But back to the design, the variation in the text makes it interesting but as it is all one color does not seem too busy or detract from the beauty of the text.

BOOK
www.lookatbook.com/
This is one of the most interesting ideas for a collaboration project slash one of the best end results of a collaboration project that I think I have ever seen. The book randomly went between four different artists, and they each had 5 days to complete their spread before sending it off to another artist. Two of the artists resided in Brooklyn, and two in Belfast. This went on for 36 weeks, and each artists work was a response to the preceding piece. The result is an incredible variety of styles that all are visually stimulating and beautiful.

Senior Show 2
Although I didn’t thoroughly investigate the first senior art show, the second
senior art show was filled with mind-blowingly creative and well-crafted art pieces.
There were a variety of pieces in the Foreman Gallery, but I will just highlight my
favorites of the grouping.
Harriet Grace’s final project was two bronzes of a male and female from the waist
up. In talking to Grace, I learned that they were supposed to be her parents at the age of
19. She constructed them in three pieces, but they appeared seamless. It was amazing
how she was able to make the collar bones protrude on her mother’s figure as if they
were pressing against skin.
Crystal Postighone’s art piece was a tree structure which had lights hanging off of
it. The lights were inside hand-blown glass creations, and it is absolutely beautiful. The
varied colors and swirls that Postighone used in each unique glass piece created an array
of different yet similar pieces. I absolutely loved her idea to present her piece on a tree.
Megan Petruney’s piece is an installation, which is inside a sort of house
structure. Once inside, on the right, there are mirrors that reflect one’s face in a rather
blurry manner, and in the center there is a blinking traffic light. In the corner there are
boxes of grass, one just filled with dirt and seed, one filled with baby grass, one filled
with over grown grass, and one filled with mown grass. I feel as though it was to
symbolize the processes of life.

Peter Callesen
Paper Art
This reminds me of the art of chinese paper cutting, but more modern and three-dimensional. I love the originality of Callesen's idea of paper sculpture. I particularly love how he doesn't use anything except for paper and paint/pencil and glue, but the creations are so much more than the sum of their parts. My favorites of his works are tied between "Alive But Dead" and "Dead Angels". I guess he's also a bit morbid, but then again I am too, and I really love how he creates such beautiful and delicate works.
