artists that have influenced me

Photographer Cindy Sherman
Cindy Sherman is an American photographer and film director, best known for her personal portraits.
i used this artist in one of my most recent projects that i am doing which is all about my little brother, ryan, i liked the positioning of the photos and i used her because i am going to take some photos of ryan like she does some in black and white and some in colour.

Andy Warhol
Andrew Warhol, was an American painterprint maker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art.
i used this artist in my mickey mouse project because i like the bright bold colours he uses as they are eye catching.

Picasso, showed his talent in early years, his style changed from when he was in his childhood as when he grew older he experimented with all sorts of different techniques etc. A lot of people know his name and many are very inspired by his work, including me.

This artist inspires me because he keeps his work simple but creative at the same time. in future i would like to use him in some of my work.

EVALUATION

This project has been a good way of presenting your work to others, it took me a while to work out how to get round the blogger site but managed to put a few projects on for people to see. i chose my zebra background because i thought it looked smart and its personal because i like animal print. For my posts, i picked out two of my favorite projects and used them to show up on my blog. which are my hippie project and my disney i think they are the two main ones on my blog i have done a repeating pattern example on photoshop and posted that too. i enjoyed this project because it was different to what we usually do in a sketchbook and it has introduced me too a new web site that i had nether heard of before. the only thing i disliked about this project is that you could not rotate your pictures easily, so some of mine are on there side. i chose my font of writing because its simple but effective and easy to read. if i could re do this project i would of put more effort in and done more posts (shown more projects). over all i think i have done alright but not the best.
