My concentration is going to be the abstracted body contrasted with the human face using dramatic lighting and exaggerated color.

Look at his man.

This painting is stunning.

2. This artist is very focussed on portraits. I think the idea is to portray people in a certain way using bold color and big brush strokes. 

3. The artist uses fantastic colors and brush strokes to make the artwork very visually pleasing. This artist really reminds me of things I have a ton of fun painting. 

4. The elements and principles of art I see in this art is color, composition, contrast, and space. I think they use color over and over and I think it makes a great impact.

2. The underlying idea of this artist's work is the painted dialogue of human form.
3. The artist uses fantastic color! I am obsessed with the compositions and the story each of the painting tell. Each of the artist's works have a really unique perspective that I think makes them really interesting to look at.
4. This artist uses color, composition, and contrast fantastically! They use color over and over it has a striking effect! I can for sure see myself doing something like this for my concentration. 

Summer Photos

This summer I was working at a Young Life camp in Canada without a camera so I had to wait until the last minute to take most my photos! I had a lot of fun going to Portland with Katie taking pictures of weird meth head homeless people! When we asked to take photos of people they were really friendly and got pretty into it! I had a lot more fun taking photos this year than last year because I got up the guts to ask some weirdos! It was a good time.
