Our midterm project was a challenge for me. How the heck was I supposed to connect three completely different artists? Then MAKE art that represented all of them while still looking like something... not awful?
The power point and paper were easy enough. The art part was what really got to me. I spent so much time trying to figure out what to do I almost ended up with nothing. Finally I did come up with the Panda painting. I feel it was the best way I could have possibly combined all three of the artists while still putting in a bit of myself and my own artistic style.

The Panda represents Takashi Murakami, and his love for pop art and childlike things that aren't really childlike in the real world. The colors of the background reflect the Ukiyo-e color choices and the vibrancy of the old woodblock paintings.
Lastly, the background's harsh brushstrokes are reminiscent of the impressionist style of painting. However, instead of using the strokes of paint and color to represent how light forms images, mine merely uses the brush strokes to blend colors and make them stand out.
