This artist would be considered postmodern because his artwork involves things that is in today. Another reason why Tom Friedman would be considered a postmodern artist is because his sculptures are made up of everyday objects. Tom has artwork that is made out of pencils and only pencils. He also have an artwork made of cigarette butts. This guy is awsome with his artwork. By far one of the best.

This wonderful piece of art was created by an artist who's name is Tom Friedman. He created this in 1996 and it is untitled, but in parentheses it reads (Polystyrene Tower. This guy was born1965 in St. Louis, Missouri. Friedman is still alive today. I chose this artwork because it looked interesting. This piece of art looks as if something was pouring out of another something, but no one knows where its coming from. Its pretty interesting

This stereotype is about emo/gothic people. It says that this guy likes to dress as an emo boy & make fun of emo's by acting out the stereotype. In my perspective, this artwork is saying that all emo's/ goth's  are depressed. Notice how they have the word depressed in parentheses. I think they put it like that to say like emo's don't even know what depress means because some of them are cold blooded. This would be a stereotype because it seem as if all emo's are depressed, but little did we know they aren't.

Ms. Coffee, I couldn't find a postmodern piece of artwork. I really didn't understand the concepts of the postmodern visual strategies that were discussed in class because I wasn't there. With the websites that you gave us on the back of the blog assignments, I still couldn't seem to find what was instructed to find because I don't know how to use those websites. I couldn't even find nothing on Google..I know that its go to be something out there about postmodern strategies, but I just couldn't find anything.

This past quater I really learned more about art. I learned about and now understand the elements of art and principles of design. The seven elements are line, color, texture, space, form, and shape. The principles of design balance, rhythm, empahsis, unity, movement, pattern, and variety. The best part of being in art class is the class projects. The best project was the accordin book. Art class at Westinghouse is much harder than the art class in grammer school. I didn't really like the reading assignments that were given, but I guess it's going to "better" us.

In the process of the Elements and Principles Accordion book project, I have learned and understood the elements and principles better. I also now know how to create an accordion book. The most enjoyable and interesting part of this project was when we was able to be creative and imaginative. Even though the books came out very nice, there still were some difficulties. The most challegeing part was making the poem and trying to get all of the elements & principles in the book. Most of them came naturally. If I was to make another book, I would make the emphasis really pop out. Also, I would use more brighter colors. Other than that I feel that my book was well done.

This handmade book is made by a Chinese person. In my opinion, Chinese people are very sophisticated. I chose this book because it is very unique and so different from what we are doing. More challeging. In this book, from what i can see, it looks as if this person likes polka dots and lines. Also, I chose this handmade book because look at the top, it's eye catching. On this book, it has numerous famous pictures from back in the day it look like. This person did well with their book and was being creative. Just like how we are in Art class
