2. JEFF KOONS
“Large Vase of Flowers” 1991
A lot of Koons’ artwork has a timeless creation to it.
This is a good example because a bouquet of
flowers is something that I feel always inspires
people. I do not feel like he has an exact style of
work because his work goes from painting to
photographs. He is an all around gifted artist.
3. I was inspired to blow up the flower that stood out to
most to me in the flowers from Koons’ art. That blue
flower was one of the smaller flowers in the vase but
its bright color stood out to me the most, making a
statement. I used oil pastels to create this.
4. UMBERTO BOCCIONI
“Unique Forms of Continuity and Space” 1913
I chose this piece because it is something that is
timeless and similar to work that Koons’ has
previously done. In a lot of his other work he
seemed to like using gold and this is a perfect
example of something I think he would have done.
5. JUDY PFAFF
“Moogie Cha” from “Apple and Oranges” 1986
She has a funny logic kind of style. Looking at her work
it is kind of confusing with all of the different things
going on. She likes to throw in a bunch of different
things to make a masterpiece. For example this one
has stripes and polka dots involved and everyone
always says they do not go together, but she proved
them wrong.
6. I was mainly inspired by the polka dots in her work so
I started off with them. I love the different color
bubbles. I then wanted to add that random funny
feel that Pfaff has to her work. I did this by starting a
checkerboard that doesn’t even match up, the
lines, and the pattern down at the bottom. I wanted
this piece to have that random funny feel about it
that she has with her work.
7. WASSILY KANDINSKY
“Sketch for Composition VII” 1913
I choose this picture because when I first looked at it
I had the same thought in my head, “What is that?” I
felt with this you had to look more into what the
picture is representing and not just see it for a bunch
of things put together.
8. WATON FORD
“Blue Matari” 1998
Ford uses his imagination with animals. The animals
are sometimes in non realistic setting or they some
times are. He looks into the mind of animals and
what they might be thinking.
9. I was inspired to get into the mind of my animals. My
dogs are clearly thinking about something.
Emerald, the one on the left looks like she has
something on her mind. While Lilly is licking her licks
because she is thinking about something yummy.
When I was taking this photo I was trying to get a
picture of Lilly when she sits up on her back legs and
begs, but I really liked how I caught her in the
moment of licking her lips. I felt this shows that
animals do have things on their minds, but you just
have to imagine what they are thinking.
10. GIACOMO BALLA
“Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash” 1912
I felt this represented Ford’s work because of the animal
involved. He used a lot of animals in his pieces. This
piece can relate because you can try imagine what
this dog is thinking why on his walk. He is moving fast so
possibly they could be running, or he just has a lot of
excitement. This gives me the opportunity to imagine
what an animal is thinking just like in Ford’s work.
