Beauty of Nature

Beauty of Nature is how we see nature at it's finest. However, we do not take the time to stay at the scene. These scenes is how a sunset is beautiful, cloud are mysterious, adding a three element in nature, and the flowing of lava. I think we all miss the wonders of nature and we can being it into our homes.

Measuring Success

You are the artist that is trying to make a statement to the viewer of your work.  There are many ways to come up with an idea; however, one good way will be the best statement. I always think the artwork is abstract or realistic, but seeing how artist use their understanding and knonledge to make the art in which they like influences me to be successful in a different way.  Now, I see why there are political cartoons about each candidate because different people has different values, and the artist will acknowledge those values.

Laylah Ali

One thing that shock me is the fact that she is showing social violence though Graphic Design. I guess that her inspiration is the life that she live in.  It kind of twisting my head because her is impacting me.  Although, I like her work because you need to impact someone or make a statement to that person.  I would like to do what she is doing today because I can get what she is saying to impact me in my lifetime.
