Link on a Wall

http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2006/12/26/image-of-the-day-link-on-a-wall/

I found how the artist uses the natural lines and blocks on the wall to create this image very cool.  They merely added color to already existing shapes and created something entirely new a different on the wall.

Ron Mueck piece

I found this Ron Mueck piece on someone's blog.  I find his work fascinating; to be able to create such perfect detail and realism on such a large scale shows a great degree of skill.




Cast Circle Dancers

Since we had a lesson on group art I found this piece very interesting and also different from the ones we saw in our lecture.  All the group art we looked at was somewhat to very realistic, this however is a very abstract group art piece.  While you can make out that there are five people holding hands in a circle anything else about the piece is impossible to determine definitively.

Big Horse

Also found this one by typing in sculptures in google images.  This is a very good sculpture of a horse especially considering how big it is.  The artist makes use of negative space to make the horse look like it is in mid motion and about to take off and run or possibly attack.  Different textures are used to define the horse's muscles, mane, tail and hooves. 

Bubble Gum Sculpture

After reading the unit on sculptures I googled sculptures to see different types of modern sculptures people have created.  This one was made entirely with gum.  I find it amazing the different types of things artists use to make sculptures.  The texture the artists uses to make distinctions between the hair, face, lips, etc. is amazing.  While the artists may have only used gum and only one color of gum at that they were still able to use different textures to create a very good sculpture of a face. 

Crazy Colors

I really liked the use of colors in this picture.  The artists uses a variety of colors as well as colors within colors the really make his work stand out.  While this picture may not have a lot of fine detail the artist makes great use of lines to clearly create the image of a man with sunglasses.
