Final Project

I am very unsure of what I want to paint for my final project. But I want it to be related to this painting of Namaste. Which has different meanings to it the way a painting is drawn, the type of jewelry as well has a significant meaning. I have not found a specific painter but my final project will be related to this.

100 Cans of Campbell's Soup


This is synthetic polymer paint on canvas. It was painted in 1962 by Andy Warhol. At first I thought this was very uninteresting but to my surprise it is made of 32 individual canvases! The soups are in order of the year they were created. This painting helped start a major art movement in the US: Pop art.

Final project

Andy Warhol is my inspiration for my final. Simply because the simplicity of his artwork and that is how I am as an artist myself. Pop art is style of artwork that has interest me since high school. This will be incorporated with four canvases that I'll be using. Each canvas will have a different design but when put together you'll see the full picture.

Final Project

Tom Wesselmann uses a cartoon-like pop art style with a detail that is an exact picture, usually the view of a window, to portray the subject in a real world moment. I want to find an aspect other than a window view that will convey the same idea as this.


Final Project

I chose Albert Bierdstadt for my artist of inspiration for my final project. I love his landscape paintings, they are all very detailed and strategically done. He makes everything come to life, from clouds to grass. I'm going to be doing the view of the mountains from my house's balcony. This scenery reminds me of one of his landscape paintings. I will be looking up his techniques and how he mastered his paintings to make my final project on his level.

Bob Ross the Legend


    If we are gonna talk about inspiration, we have to bring the one and only legendary Bob Ross. This man while not known for being an an incredible artist influenced thousands of peopling teaching them "The Joys of Painting". Bob's show called "The Joys of Painting" on PBS taught people of all ages that painting isn't as impossible as it may seem, with his impossible to hate personality he is still loved to this day after his death in 1995 at the age of  51. In recent years he has gained much traction due to his show being being uploaded to various media sources on the internet such as twitch.tv and youtube.com. I took this class hoping to do something related to him and will gladly be doing so for my final project as much as Jacketti may hate it.

Final Project

For my final project I would like to paint something that is related to fashion, I still don't know exactly what I want to paint, but the artist who has helped to inspire me is Salvador Dali. It is known that he has helped play a significant role in the history of fashion. Some of his paintings have even been the cover pages to fashion magazines, for example, the painting's above were the cover pages to Vogue. I might even want to do a vintage dress form mannequin with an outfit over it.
