Banksy

This is a picture that can mean different things to different people. The man in this picture is simple, only depicted in black and white. To me he seems just like an ordinary citizen. I think this because of the baseball cap. If he had planned the attack, i would have assumed that he would have covered his whole face. He has covered part of his facnd his with what looks like a bandana, and his eyes are squinted. He is holding flowers and it looks like he is trying to through them. The flowers are brightly colored, unlike him, and they are depicted in great detail. I think that this man wanted got angry at something someone, who in my opinion was most likely making a speech, and wanted to through something that sent a message. To me, it's as if he's saying, "You want peace? Well you can forget about that!".

Sry I'm Late...

This stop motion animation is very clever and inspiring. A fantasy way of telling a story about someone being late. This was very creative. I have a lot of respect for anyone who does something like this, especially with such detail. This is a very time consuming project to take on. At the end, I liked the way they showed how they created the horse back scene. To move things, come back, take a picture, move things, come back take a picture ect. doing the same thing over and over again must be tiring. The way that the whole story moved along was really unique. I thought it was cool how he would go to the guy riding on a horse, to driving a car, and then he and the car landing in a tree where someone was swinging. This video was so unique, I loved it.

Personality Art


Simple and innocent. That's what this picture is. I chose this picture because it looks very life like. It only uses three colors, but yet that's enough for it to look amazing. This is a beautiful picture. I think that this picture is beautiful because of the simplicity. By using as few colors as possible, it makes it look more real. If more colors were added, I think that it would look more abstract. It is amazing how something so simple, could take a lot of imagination, thinking, and skill.
