Romare Bearden- Kimberly Durso

 

This is an art piece by Romare Bearden called "Black Manhattan." I noticed that most of his collages are filled with vibrant colors and most depict jazz performances. This piece stood out to me because he uses a color scheme with colors that are more dull. I like how Bearden arranged the scaffolding on the building to make it seem that you are looking down the block.

Banksy Rat

  I really like this stencil that Banksy did. He includes humor in some of his street art and this is one of them. He also does a lot of art with rats in them, but I like this one in particular. I like that the rat looks like he was caught in the middle of something. And it's not a "pretty" stencil he made, the rat is dirty looking and disoriented. Thats goes with the words next to it, showing he's not really trying to look good.

Girl With Balloon Banksy is an anonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director, active since the 1900s.  A little girl who lets a heart-shaped balloon go:  Girl with Balloon  represents one of Banksy’s most popular works. Next to it, there was the famous inscription  “There is always hope” . I love everything about this piece of artwork. I love the deep red in the balloon and the shadowing & shading of the little girl. I choice this piece of work because I feel like there are multiple interruptions of the story behind this work.
