For November 8th select a drawing from the Renaissance. Your goal will be to recreate this drawing as accuaratlely as possible. Consider the materials and how the artist you select used them within the work. Learn as much as you can through your research about the artists work and their approach to their subject matter.

Cont. artist

I like the two following artist: Kara Walker and Julie Mehretu. Kara Walker art is not traditional and has a strong message even if she used other media. She plays with space and texture with her art as Julie does.

Contemporary Artist

Out of the contemporary artists I like Kara Walker the best.  I love how she uses the blacks and whites.  It makes it more emotional that way.

Contemporary Artists

From the contemporary drawers that were posted I liked Barry McGee and Julie Mehretu. In Barry McGee's work there's high contrast and little shading and I like that sort of style. I also liked Julie Mehretu's work simply because I think I could look at it several hundred times and still find something new.

Here are a few artists I like...

- Jeremy Fish -

Contemporary Artist

Out of the contemporary artists, Kara Walker is the one who stood out to me the most. Her design is so different and interesting. One thing I like about her art is the way she only uses blacks and whites mostly.<http://www.mart.tn.it/UploadImgs/2899_Walker___Jim_Crow__Homecoming___8920.jpg?w=414>

Aaron Montierth- Art class

The art i looked at and really interested me was that of  Matthew Ritchie. His art has alot of nature in it but also has an abstract design to it. And the reason i like his art is because i like designing modern landscape and see alot of things that catch my attention. http://www.matthewritchie.com/projects/04TheFastSet/src/images/image1.jpg
