In Pursuit of Personal Preferences
Where to draw the line
Date: 2011–12
Medium: Typewriting on nine sheets of paper
Dimensions: 40 1/4 x 74 3/4" (102.2 x 189.9 cm)
What is incredibly fascinating about this work of art is not merely the interesting layout but the interesting use of real essays written by the author, in this piece. "The typist was instructed to omit spaces, overtype any errors, and repeat words as necessary to fill nine long, scroll-like sheets." Thus the artist is really living up to the expression of reading between the lines. I feel like this art is highly metaphorical and I'm more interested in it's meaning then the mere layout.

Let's just be real this could be done by anyone make this piece of "art." Why did I put it down? Probably to focus on the fact that what we think of art is very subjective. Also because it feels like the cool start to another great idea.

Aleksandr Archipenko (American, 1887–1964)
Medium: Cut-and-pasted painted paper, conté crayon, and colored pencil on colored paper
Dimensions: 18 7/8 x 12 3/8" (47.9 x 31.4 cm)
What's cool about this drawing is it's simplistic method of representing a moving person. He uses geometric shapes as a way of saying this is the part is this size. Even with this method it still feels very representative of a person moving. Also the fact that the artist was able use different mediums and integrate it all into one piece is certainly fascinating.

What is interesting about this artist is his ability to look at shapes, particularly puzzle pieces, and see "the humanizing aspects" of the image. The author uses both line drawing and solid colored shapes to be able to demonstrate what he sees. The noticeable lines, while not practiced by certain artist styles, demonstrates an almost equilibrium in the shapes.

Study for New Moon, New York
Date: 1944
Medium: Pencil on paper
Dimensions: 14 x 10" (35.3 x 25.3 cm)
This type of drawing aesthetically appeals to me both from it's use of liner perspective and its detailed but not too detailed approach. It is something I consider of more worth and at the same time Something I'd like to gain a better understanding of how to do it. The way light is represented is not with lamp posts but rather little erase marks. It is almost symbolically represented by theses lights of little beams.
