Repetition

This piece of art uses repetition of black and white squares in a pattern to create a visual illusion.  changing the size and direction of the squares created in this pattern made the art visually appear to move. This shows the true value of repetition in art pieces.

Project of Little People

by Slinkacho

This is a installation of miniature people people with every day objects. The work is quirky and playful. The work is street art and interacts with the viewer as and seems curious making the viewer distracted from the monotony into the little story of the installation.

Art Deco Today

Art Deco is often confused with the term retro or modern to describe the art and architecture styles.  This piece of furniture is purely art deco due to the shape of the furniture and the hard angular and linear edges seen throughout this  entertainment center. Joel Liebman, fabricator and designer makes pieces that reflect the 1920-30s Art Deco craze. My interest in Art Deco will transcribe over into my work as I move into interior design and urban design.

 

Sunflower Seeds, 2010 by Ai Weiwei

This installation is composed of one-hundred million porcelain sunflower seeds. I find this interesting just for the sheer size of it all and intricacy of each seed. This piece was meant to comment on the stride and inequality pitched against farmers and land workers. The funny thing is that people were allowed to walk and play in the seeds until many began to die from exposure to the porcelain dust. Was this a part of Weiwei's plan? Who knows.
