This piece  of art was made by Marcel Duchamp. I think this artwork is very groundbreaking. This is because of the simple fact that it is a urinal. I think the artist was trying to say "what is art". Maybe in the artists eyes everything and anything can be art. This is revolutionary because there use to be a stereotypes of what art was.This artwork broke art boundaries.

The artist of this piece had alot on their mind while making this art piece. What I see here is confusion and chaos. The artist might of been at a point in their life where they we stuck. The contrasting colors show the randomness of the artist. In the artists' mond they could of been showing the mental pain they could of been encountering with the crack-like lines on the figures face.

Lines covering my face
I feel them holding me back
back from achieving my full potential
the colors around me are hypnotizing
I am confused by the objects surrounding me
what can it be?
is it my life flashing before me?
is it my future calling for me?
what can it be?

If I could think of any place that I would like to live in, it would be Guatemala. I have alot orf family there. It would be nice to be surrounded by so much family and relatives.They tell me the sights there are marvelous. There are places there that are breathtaking. Places such as the volcano, the river,and the pyramids. My roots trace back to Guatemala. I would love to be a part of my culture and customs. It is a beautiful place full of landmarks and culture.

I chose this landscape to write about because it is different from many of the other landscapes I have seen. In this picture there is a woman in the center of the image. Behind her you can see a city full of bright lights. You can also see the a full moon and starsin the sky. What she seems to be standing on is grass, so I think she might of escaped from the city into a field.

This Bratz picture brings nostalgia to me when I see it. When I was younger I played dolls, like many girls that age. Whenever I see a doll I remember dressing up my dolls and playing with them. One of my most memorable moments with my dolls was when i cut off my dolls hair. At the time I was pretending to be a hairstylist. Playing with dolls has a greater significance than just having fun. Playing with dolls meant innocence,imagination, and worry-free times.

James Rosenquist had a significant role in the pop-art movement. Starting off as a billboard painter gave Mr. Rosenquist an entrance into the art world. Much of his work exhibits juxtaposition between advertisements, pop culture and the media. With the use of vibrant colors he caught the eyes of popular culture. People in pop culture were searching for new art and when they found him they claimed him as a pop artist. James's art was often done on canvas or walls, and it consisted of works of  lithography, screen-printing, etching, and collage.
