Michelle Anderson

I chose this piece because I liked the uniformity of the body and the way it was made up of dozens of smaller squares to make the larger picture. This piece had all the elemental aspects of art including an impressive use of value and shading using a charcoal medium. Like I said earlier, it was aesthetically pleasing to me because of the way it was laid out with the smaller pictures made into a larger one. Michelle said she was slightly obsessed with the human body and its form. She does dance which has contributed to her fascination. She also said she likes to work with larger pieces because you become a part of the art.




Vedrana Misanovic

I chose this piece mainly because of the strong aesthetic values it holds with the bright colors and the palm tree silhouette. It reminded me of the beach which is always good memories. This piece had all the elemental aspects including really cool texture with the sky and the palm trees. Vedrana said the piece had a heavy California influence to it. She said a lot of her work uses non-objective colors. Her theory for design is to make things as simple as possible.

The pieces were different in the fact that Vedrana's used non-objective colors whereas Michelle's was black and white. They were similar in the fact that they both used stark contrast in colors to create defined lines.
