Post 16: Carrie Mae Weems

I'm not a fan of Carrie Mae Weems, there's just things about her artwork that is disturbing to me.  So when I had to find an image it wasn't easy at all because none of them related to me whatsoever. But since I need a grade I picked the first one I saw really. One way it relates to me is the mother and daughter relationship. In this artwork the relationship seems distant and not all that strong. That's how my relationship with my own mother is, kinda distant and not so strong. Another thing would be how formal the picture is. Whenever I take family portraits they are always in the same way, but with a sense of happiness behind it. Lastly is that they're black and I'm black : ). Yes, it's a weak comparison, but hey I needed three; so there goes my third one.

Post 15: Stencil Mix By Dru711

I really like this artwork, it's so creative and intriguing. I must say her shading had me in awe. It was incredible how her other two drawings were incorporated so cohesively with the stencil itself. Gosh, I love this! I don't see this everyday so it's a lot to take in. From looking at the artwork it's hard to tell if it's three different girls or just one in many forms, however, I think it's just one girl. What I really like that you could barely see is the girl's tattoo. I find that really original and something nobody else could think of. The more I look at it the more she reminds me of my best friend Isabel. This artwork is so her.  Isabel always wear headphones, has this cool tattoo on her arm, and loves layering her shirts. If she saw this she would think somebody drew her. All in all great work and nice going.
