Blog Entry #3

Artist: Mel Kadel
This artists appeals to me because the majority of their pieces are about things that are easy to relate to. I feel as if anyone can look at each work and take something truly unique from each and every one. In my opinion not every piece of art has to have some abstract meaning. As long as people can look at it and appreciate its meaning to them. The Big Idea in their artwork is over coming seemingly impossibly difficult obstacles.

what i find interesting about their artwork is the method in which she dipicts the obstacles. For example, in the picture below we have all felt butterflies in our stomach at some point, yet to have them almost bursting out of the characters body i think captures how we all have felt mentally. I am curious as to why every character is this artist's compilation is not only the same character, but a woman every time. Is it depicting her own challenges? Is it saying that women typically have more obstacles to overcome?

Mel Kadel gives me insight to show that sometimes we must put real emphasis on the message we are trying to get across in order to let the viewer truly relate to the artwork. in the words of Mel Kadel, her artwork is about  "getting through tough times, and conquering daily obstacles. It's a mental battle each of us has to endure."

The Artist: Andre Beato
This artist appeals to me because they seem to put an almost hip vibe on every piece that they make. Now, im not saying im some kind of smooth-talking, beatbox carrying "hipster" but i really enjoy seeing a more modern sort of fresh take on not so modern things. The Big Idea in this artist's work may be hard to discern from the many images that he has created but if i had to choose an adjective to do so I would call his big idea "New Age". 

What inspires me about this artist is that all of his pieces almost seem futuristic. Im curious as to what platform he uses to create his images, whether it be Photoshop or some other program. Im also curious as to what inspired him to start creating images like the ones he does.

Based on how this artist takes things in real life such as picture of a guy with a gold tooth, and turns them into an almost animated form, I now believe that every single image I would even be considering for manipulation has so much more potential behind it, which will truly challenge me in the future of my computer graphics.
