Artist 2, who influenced my artwork in my art and design education.

1. JIM DINE
Brief Biographical Details:
Jim Dine is an American Pop Artist
Also, Jim Dine is sometimes considered to be part of the
Neo-Dade Movement.
Born: 16th June 1935 in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.
Known for painting, printmaking, drawing and sculpture
artwork.
In 1958, after moving to New York, Jim Dine's first
involvement with the art world was in his Happenings of
1959–60.
The method for his artwork is repeating his theme over
again and again sometimes ending repeated several times.
However the process of exploration and reinvention
stamps the common image and it exclusively with Jim
Dine’s signature. Which becomes his vehicle of
communicating a range of emotional and aesthetic
intentions.
In the late 1960s and the 1970s, Dine consciously refined
his draughtsmanship and painterly techniques by taking
greater care and control in his work that lead to in 1980s,
for him to be more confident with a greater emphasis in
his artwork.

Charcoal Drawing of a pair of tongs by
Jim Dine
Jim Dine was a big influence on my final piece for my AS
Level Exam, where I was inspired by the creativity and live-
ness, that Dine’s puts into his artwork to give the tool a life-
like meaning. Especially I looked at the bottom left image of
Dine’s charcoal drawing of the pair of tongs.
One of the reason, why has Jim Dine has influenced my
artwork and inspired me to drawn objects with black and
white instead of colour, as to give my own work a different
approach that’s not the same as my previous pieces and
experiment more with contrast.
Another reason is that Jim Dine influences me to draw more
observations of everyday things, is that he keeps his
artwork simple like the study of a pair of tongs. But he
appeals his our ‘signature’ and observation of that object by
simply appealing a lively background, as seen in the vast
quality of his art pieces. That in the end builds his confident
up and experimentation is gained, which influences me to be
more with my own art.
