If you have not been watching the art assignment, you should get on that. They're artist interviews in which the artists challenge viewers by giving them an assignment to complete. I haven't done any of the assignments, but the videos are so interesting and inspiring! Not too long ago I watch the episode about landscape and the figure/ground relationship. Feel free to watch it here (and all the videos!) I have long loved landscapes, Canaletto being one of my first loves, but watching this video renewed that love all over again.
These are some landscapes I am currently loving:

And these landscape silhouettes by Taylor Allen (love love love the relationship of figure and ground here.)
As much as they all look good, I have to strongly agree with you on the piece by Ekio Ojala. I think I am in love!!
ReplyDeletePlus now I know which piece I can remake for my art class ;)
Nice choices :)
