Art 21

     Nick Caves artwork is unlike any others and it is the one that stands out to me the most. It gives me the most creative ideas and ways I could go with this project. His design skills and wonderful costumes are amazing. I just wish that I could do something just like that. And the fact that his costumes make a ruffling noise to set an edge to everything he does is just amazing in my mind. I have a couple ideas that I could use relating to his work. It made me think of the clanking of chains together and how that would attract my audience. The only problem with this though, is that would be really heavy. Another idea was to become a homeless person with a buggy and rolling it around the classroom with a bunch of junk inside it. I have no idea how I could get a buggy though, so maybe a lot of trash bags with cans inside them would work also. Maybe even making a suit out of cans would also work. Once our instructor explained how we have to make it about ourselves, I got really confused because I don't really remember much about my childhood and what I used to like or do. I just really hope I can use something that is like Caves work to express my project, even if it has no relation to me. His work does remind me a lot of the characters of children's shows like tellitubbies.

   Jeff Koons is a very interesting artist. His balloon projects are out of this world, but at first I was kind of confused because I really thought they were just huge baloons, when in reality they are hard steel or metal of some sort.  He is very different when it comes to artist because most artist stick to one kind of art and stay with that until they die, but Koons is experimenting with so many different types of media and I believe that this is why he is so known around the world. He is literally speaking to every kind of viewer their is. He has wood, metal, painting, and many many more. Some of his work is just so random. Imsure his viewers are always interested because you would never know what he would come up with next. One thing that is hard for me to contain would be the fact that he works in this huge factory with so many people. He even states in the video that he "likes paying attention to detail", but he never touches his work. He basacally desighns it all on the computor and his workers do it for him. I think that this is going to be something normal from now on. I never would have known that artist did this so much as they do. I guess that if your business is so big though, there is not anything you can do about it or you would never get anything finished. I dont really get any ideas from his work because they are so out there. I could always cover my whole body with baloons, but that would be very difficult to pull off.
