 I thought this piece of art was genius because it was able to combine nature and technology. The artist, Spencer said, "“I wanted to try to mimic the chaos found within nature."

Recycled Corrugated Art

The recycled Corrugated Art work is by an inspiring artist Mark Langan. I love the busy yet intriquate design. He uses cardboard and twine as his medium.

"Lick & Lather"

"Lick & Lather" by Janine Antoni is by far the most unique piece of artwork I've ever seen. The sculpture on the left is "Lick." It is made of chocolate. The sculpture on the right is "Lather" and it's made of soap. I've never heard of an artist using these mediums to sculpt with.

"Fat Benny" is one of my favorite pieces so far. I was able to create the background with acrylic paint. The picture came from a photo I took of my dog, Fat Benny. The photo was transfered into plastic for my design. This was overrall a very fun project!

"Sweet Home Alabama" is a piece that named after the song that I am learning to play on the guitar. I took notes from the song to create the background. This style of art is originally by Lewandowski. I tried to apply his technique by contrasting the dark and lights within the guitar.

Nostalgia

"Nostalgia" is a piece of art created to illustrate the remembrance of Summer. I used clocks to symbolize that the season feels timeless. The image transfers make the theme of summer a little more obvious. The word "Aloha" means welcome and farewell. The other images represent the season giving it a tropical feel.
