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.
