James Rosenquist was born November 29 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. In junior high James won a scholarship that allowed him to attend Minneapolis School of Art at the Minneapolis Art Institute. James studied at the University of Minnesota alongside artist, Cameron Booth and at the Art Institute of Chicago. He left for New York after receiving a scholarship to the Art Students League, where he studied with artists including Morris Kantor, George Grosz, and Edwin Dickinson. The education gained from the Art Students League gained him a job in designing billboards, some including billboards in Time Square. In the 1960’s, “Rosenquist transformed the visual language of commercial painting onto his canvases, filling his large-scale pictures with fragmented advertising imagery in bright Day-Glo colors.” (Artists) In 1961, James was granted …show more content…
Paper Clip can be found at the Dallas Museum of Art in the Contemporary department on the first floor. In this piece you see a red flying horse, downtown Dallas, Texas, Mobil Oil Company logo, a wallet, cash register tape, a receipt, gesturing hands, and a paper clip. In this work you see how he used his background of creating billboards, to create a piece that takes up the visual language of advertisement and entertainment. Rosenquist was trying to convey the idea that money is power. We see this because of the stuffed wallet and cash register tape. The tape could also refer to life and the time we have here. “In this provocative jumble of advertising and feature-story pictures, Rosenquist creates possible meanings where none before existed in the simple act of selling.” (Dallas Museum of Art) We also see that the paper clip seems to pull everything together. He does this because it creates so much imagery. The sizes, the symbolism, the colors, and the comparison between the objects, creates such a pleasant piece for our
Gerald Graff expresses his concern in “Hidden Intellectualism” about how the education system does not accurately measure true intelligence. If the education system used each individual’s interests, Graff argues, the individual would be much more intrigued in the subject matter; therefore, increasing his or her knowledge. Throughout the article, Graff also draws on his love of sports to support his argument, saying that it includes elements of grammar, methodologies, and debate. He believes this proves that interests can replace traditional teaching. Graff contends one’s interest will create a community with others throughout the nation who share the same interests. While it is important to pursue your interests, there
During the time of the painting the Vietnam War which had heighten and also the anti-war activism. His piece was a mix of “Vietnam death machine” and advertising for the war and what was taken place during that time. His work implicates the political message on the economic consequences of the war that was occurring. Just like pop art his work demonstrated and told a story of what was happening in society. It acted as a storyboard and news prompter for others that were not able to exhibit the effects that were being made. This piece has become an iconic pop art piece. The body of Rosenquist painting had a span to the work’s 23 panels, interspersed with spliced-in images of commercial products and references to war fragments which was known as the flak of consumer society meant to meet the needs of society., F-111 Through the of impact visual motifs, points to what the artist has described as the collaboration between the Vietnam death machine, capitalism, the media, and of course advertising.

Raymond Johnson, most famous for his collages in the days of early Pop art was simply never a household name. Instead, the movie How to Draw a Bunny proclaims he was "New York's most famous unknown artist.” The movie explains this and so much more as the people “closet” to Raymond reflect how disconnected and different he was from society in his lifetime. The movie captures this and so much more as the director thouroughly investigates the enigma of what Raymond was and his mysterious death that baffled both friends and the public by interviewing people th...
Carle had a happy childhood in America. However, he moved to Germany with his parents when he was six years old and attended the prestigious art school Akademie der Bildenden Künste. In 1952 he moved back to New York to return to the happy place where he grew up. He was then recruited as a graphic designer by The New York Times before he was enrolled as a mail clerk in the Korean War. Once he returned, he worked as the art director for an advertising agency (“Eric Carle”).
James Abbott McNeil Whistler was born in Lowell, Massachusetts on July 17, 1834. Although American born, Whistler spent most of his childhood in St. Petersburg, Russia as his father was a civil engineer. “The young Whistler was prone to moody spells and fits of temper, and his mother noticed the only thing that would calm him was drawing” (Visualartscork.com). Because he showed great interest, at age 11 his mother enrolled him into the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. According to Denys Sutton, author of James McNeil Whistler, American Artist, by 1849, “his family was back in the States where he attended the United States Military Academy at West Point.” His father insisted he join, but he was not good at following commands. So he was tasked with making maps. His interest frayed and he ended up drawing mermaids and waves of the water. His passion for art simply could not hold him and he soon abandoned the army.

I know my subject by his first name only, Maynard, by listening to his frequent conversations with his close friend Rolando I have discovered they enjoy talking about alcoholic beverages, movies, and video games among other things.

Jackson Pollock was an American abstract artist born in Cody, Wyoming in 1912. He was the youngest of his five brothers. Even though he was born on a farm, he never milked a cow and he was terrified of horses because he grew up in California. He dropped out of high school at the age of seventeen and proceeded to move to New York City with his older brother, Charles, and studied with Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League. Thomas Benton was already a great artist at the time in which Pollock studied with him. Benton acted like the father figure in Pollock’s life to replace the original that wasn’t there. Benton was known for his large murals that appear on ceilings or walls. “Jack was a rebellious sort at all times,” recalls his classmate and friend, artist Harold Lehman. He grew his hair long and helped pen a manifesto denouncing athletics, even though “he had a muscular build and the school wanted to put him on the football team,” says former teacher Doug Lemon. Pollock always was upset with himself in his studies because he had troubles drawing things like they were supposed to look. From 1938 to 1942, Jackson joined a Mexican workshop of people with a painter named David Siqueiros. This workshop painted the murals for the WPA Federal Art Projects. This new group of people started experimenting with new types of paint and new ways of applying it to large canvas. People say that this time period was when Jackson was stimulated with ideas from looking at the Mexican or WPA murals. Looking at paintings from Picasso and the surrealists also inspired Jackson at this time. The type of paint they used was mixing oil colors with paint used for painting cars. Jackson noticed that the shapes and colors they created were just as beautiful as anything else was. Jackson realized that you didn’t have to be able to draw perfect to make beautiful paintings. Jackson started developing a whole new way of painting that he had never tried before and his paintings were starting to look totally different from before.

This artifact probably originated during Houdini’s prime, which occurred around the early 1900s. Since Houdini was so famous during the early 1900s, he presumably had a manager that would schedule shows and send out advertisements. However, it could have been the company that Houdini’s been performing for, they could also send out advertisements to attract viewers that are curious of his true talent. This advertisement appeals to

Guns have been around for many centuries. Why should gun control advocates make stricter laws for people to own a gun now? Quote by Luke Scott reads: “Crime is actually less in places where people own guns. Washington, D.C., is a case in point. It has the strictest gun laws, but who has the highest crime rate in the country? Washington, D.C.”. Many people say that creating stricter gun laws would help in reducing crime and robberies. But people use guns for self-defense against those types of crimes. If gun control laws were enforced, the Second Amendment would be violated. In addition, guns will be less accessible for law-abiding citizens to purchase. Crime rate will not diminish if stricter gun laws are enacted.
Paperclip Investigation Plan = == = I want to find out how affecting the amount of paper clips (weight) will affect how fast it takes a spinner to fall to the ground. To make the investigation a fair test I am keeping these things the same: · The spinner size · The height at which it is dropped from · The size of the paperclips The only thing I will change is the amount of paperclips added each time.
