Second Work

Process of Artists

Even though some of the Art 21 videos didn't show as much of the artists processes as the others. They all at least hinted towards inspirations and some of how they work and their studios. I think that all artists, even if it isn't fully understood or noticed, have a unique process in which we work. Some of the artists we looked at are very organized and neat. The first artist we looked at even keep many little strips of color in envelopes and makes her choices very carefully. In through this process her work comes out to be very neat as well. While her process was very structured, other artists work in chaos, taking piles and piles of stuff with him everywhere. In paying close attention to artists processes I'm starting to take notice of my own process when I work.

First Work - Blue Violet Photos

Keith Negley

Keith Negley's inspiration mostly comes from the news articles he is asked to illustrate for. His style for his work includes dulled down colors, adding textures, simplified people and graphics, and making his illustrations look weathered. He also takes inspiration from other artists and incorporates it into his work.

I've never really noticed my own color palette before recently. But I seem to gravitate towards pastel colors in my paintings, I don't notice a similar pattern in my photographs yet, but I think because I'm still just starting photography. In my paintings and drawings even if I have a specific color scheme I tend to add a lot of different colors in there, even if hardly noticeable.

Art City

What do you see are the shared struggles and inspirations of the artists in Art City?

I didn't see too many inspirations or struggles shared with all of the artists featured in this film. But I did notice some with a few of the artists. Nature, architecture, investigation, portraits, people, using what they have to their advantage, and location where inspirations shared with at least 2 of the artists. I didn't find as many struggles shared, but I did come across the need to exclude paintings, getting across their message, and being a part of a community as some of the struggles.
