I hope that you are all enjoying your little homework assignment this weekend. I have been stalking around looking at artists as well trying to find judges for the Scholastic Art Awards this year. I came across this artist....Palmarin Merges. Yummy doesn't even begin to express how much I LOVE her work. It delicious. If you go and look at her work, pay attention to the media she uses. So great.

Sophia Nielson - These are so beautiful...I loved her descriptions about each piece especially because knowing some of the meaning behind each one to her gave me more meaning too. Her layering was amazing and my favorite part--especially in the series with the stag and the humingbirds. It makes me want to make prints!!
ReplyDeleteooooo this actually makes me so hungry! And it also makes me want to go swimming and the blackness of the background behind the yum yum colors is delightful. <3 this

All of these images are so cool! The one you posted reminds me of sushi rolls...when you said "yummy" I thought they were like color-altered sushi rolls! The medium used is soo cool too -Lizzie
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. These inspire me to make something with a black background.. I never usually do that! I am a big fan. Also just a side note, the word yummy.... Kinda grosses me out? Not sure why.

Other than the black one (which I like too), a lot of her pieces have interesting backgrounds that have lots of wild things going on. I enjoy it

i really like all the ones she did on the lightweight wool. i would never think to use that. i also like the one with the bird made out of the Vietnam map they are so cool!
ReplyDeleteSHe is amazing! the way she uses color makes the art so fun and I love the one where she uses crushed aluminum cans for stamps.
ReplyDeleteThere's one particular callograph called River Notes that really gave me thinking it looked like a zebra pattern but not so much that I could tell her inspiration was from water :)

I really like all of these images especially the one of the humming bird because your eyes follows the hummingbird's nose all the way to the flower and i think its just amazing

I love how she uses the patterns with the birds, especially the one with the red houses, they really make your eyes dance around the page <3
ReplyDeleteWhen you click on "collagraph" I really enjoy the picture that first pops-up. I would love to learn how to do this and use different types of media in a way to create a textured surface.
ReplyDeleteThis type of media is very interesting and I love her compositions. I would also love to learn how to do this!!
ReplyDeleteThis is actually sooooo cool! It really gave me a new way to look at things! I love her patterns and her media and I really wanna learn how to do this, even if I used it as a background for a bigger piece.
ReplyDeletei love the use of color and contrast with the bright colors and the black and/ or white! the media is awesome too :)
ReplyDeleteheheh YES!!! I'm using safari and it's finally working!!! So the first pieces of work I looked at this weekend were done by Jim Kazanjian, on the 23 Sandy Gallery website. They are amazing! They look like something out of the Twilight Zone....
