Money as Art

    

I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVVVEEEE this design!! It is inovative, and plays on the concept of peace and serenity that is usually associated with the far east. Also the cherry blossoms are nice lol.

Synesthesia

 

This image represents the scratchy noise that is made when u stroke against a chalk board with your nails for example. 

Money Design

100 gulden from Suriname. This is by far the prettiest form of money I have ever seen in my life. Unlike most forms of money, there is not a picture of an important figure on the bill but rather it is full of flowers and animals; things that may be found in Suriname. The composition of the colors and shapes is unique and catching to the eye. 

Grid

Chuck Close

This painting is freaky! The composition of the face is not a direct or flat one like his other paintings but rather it it painted in a circular pattern. It is almost as if the portrait is zoning into my thoughts.

Repetition of Form

Jennifer Van Buskirk

Andy Goldsworthy

This piece of work by Andy is extremely amazing to me! I am baffled at how he was able to make the icicles to join in such a way as to form a whole other shape. 

Unity - Gestalt

CLOSURE

Louise Nevelson

I love the different shapes that Nevelson uses for her boxes: a hexagon, square and a rectangle. The arrangement of the boxes is unique as well. The objects she uses to to put inside her boxes are very abstract, not as concrete as Samara or Cornell; she utilizes shapes to make an image more than using pictures.

Lucas Samara

Compared to a Joseph Cornell box, Samara's boxes have an added element of functionality to them. This is seen by the drawers in the front and side of the box. Also I like how Samara also decorates the outside of the box.

Cornell Box

Joseph Cornell: Navigating the Imagination

I like the ethereal aspect that the image conveys through the materials used and the title of the work. I especially like the angelic figure on the left :) 

Form and Content

This picture uses print form to convey to the viewers that they should go out to vote. Scare tactic approach to voting.
