PART 2

1. Explain what it is you like about these 5 artworks (elements/common threads)
I like the usage of shapes in these 5 artworks. All the artists somehow put shapes in there drawing that repeated and created images. Also, the repetition of similar/ same images and created a pattern in their works.

2. What is it that these elements are expressing?
These elements are expressing because the repetition of each certain image catches the people's eyes. The pattern images attract the viewers' eyes. It has somehow mysterious attraction to the artworks.

3. How could you take some of these strategies and apply them to your own work -- either in terms of media, formal qualities, and/or theme?
My artworks already took some of their strategies. I would like to apply the oil work on canvas as well as the illusion feeling in their artworks. Also, the neatness of the artwork, how each artworks are accurately clear at the every edge of the works.

PART 3

1. Choose one artist and research what has influenced his or her work. If the artist is alive and has a website you should look at what they've written about their work. If the artist is not contemporary, then research what others have written about this artist.
I chose Patrick Caulfield. His painting are figurative, portray of a few simple objects in an interior. He used flat areas of simple color surrounded by black outlines. I really like the art I put of his because it gives somewhat illusion feeling when you look at the work. It doesn't have many colors to attract the viewers but the combination of black and white, lines and flowers itself attracted me.
