FIRST CLASS RESPONSES

For this class, I want to be able to learn different techniques at showing my vision of what I see, and to see other people's perspectives; to learn more about them. I love to express myself using art and creating something visual that can make people think and imagine a world outside of their own, a world I see.

We viewed some artwork by Josh Sommers and I think he has a very interesting eye for art.I personally didn't like him drawing himself and the angry stomach; the sunset in the back did not make the picture work. It was interesting but not very visually appealing to me. I did like the tree legs because I thought it was weird and different. How many times will you see someone with stump legs? I enjoy pictures that they take different images and blend them together forming something entirely different and unique. It is more imaginative and gets my attention to visualize a world outside my own. He seems to do that.

"NO GREAT ARTIST EVER SEES THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE. IF HE DID, HE WOULD CEASE TO BE AN ARTIST." - Oscar Wilde.

I feel that every person sees things differently than they truly are. Everyone is an artist in their own way by how they see something to what they can imagine it to be. Though, this quote can be correct. If someone has no opinion, they are sort of boring, and they can't seem to imagine something that is not always what it seems to be.
