Chambers Trip

This piece is on display at the Chambers in Minneapolis. The Chambers is an Art hotel that displays many varieties of art. They had watercolor pieces, drawings, photography, spray paint, etc. I picked the Leslie Holts "Hello Masterpiece" to write about because i like how she took a child's cartoon character, Hello Kitty, and had her doing thing that you wouldn't normally see her doing. Some of the pieces that she choose to put Hello Kitty in actually brought light to them. She took some dark and meaningful pieces and had Hello Kitty doing something in them. I think it brought a little comedy to some of the artwork.

Foshay Tower

 I used Photoshop on this picture to create the "vintage" look.

 I used Photoshop with this photo also and created a "falling snow" effect.

I used Illustrator with this photo and tried the "Andy Warhol" effect

Artist Statement
 "Art is a way of communicating. Design is an arrangement of the spontaneous and the ordered.This arrangement is a direct vision of inexpressible ideas, emotions, dreams, and desires. It stimulates our physical and imaginative curiosity. It is the subsequent blending of our own identity with the form, colors, and details of the arrangement which bring it into an expression of reality. It is this expression of reality that makes communicating a designed form of art." - William Miller

Poster with changes

I didn't do a whole lot of changes to my poster. The only things that i changed were that i added a bird and i made the picture of the family a different color to make them blend in more.
