Richard Prince

one artist we looked at was richard prince. one of art worlds most controversial artist. He took a naked model and cropped a ten year old brook shields on the models shoulder which created a bad buzz for him. It was a controversial piece that nobody would have dared to create ad he did,but i guess thats art. To sometimes go outside the box and take your artwork into another direction, and turn heads.

glen brown

in one of the classes i learned about glen brown. I'm not really into his work because it looks creepy and tad bizarre. he's an artist who copied masterpieces but added a little twist to it.

Cory Arcangel

Learning about Cory Arcangel in class was the first artist that caught my attention. His works stood out to me the most because I've been a video gamer my whole life, and some of his most famous artworks are created from some of my childhood favorite games. Old Nintendo games always bring back memories for me and some of Arcangel best known pieces are his Nintendo game cartidge hacks and reworking of obsolete computer systems of the 1970s & 1980s.

vanessa beecroft

today I also learned about vanessa beecroft makes her models stand in free spaces which she has at exhibits and has the observers watch them. another reason this caught my eye was large part in me loving women's bodies. She picked great models to do the exhibit for her.

spencer tunick

i learned about spencer tunick which is a famous artist who uses nude bodies for his art, and has a variety of these works all over the world. It was weird to see how many people would gather around to lay naked next to each other and be comfortable with it. His form of art is definitely different but there is a lot of people that enjoy his work. And I can tell by the enormous following tunick has that his art what's selling right now.

against interpretation

i thought the peice by susan sontag was good. i didnt know that art played a significant part in philosophers lives back in the past. I in a way felt I knew where Socrates was coming from when he said art had no meaning and it was meaning in a little but i strongly agreed with aristotle that art was a form of relaxation because some form of art like listening to music such as mozart relaxes my mind.
