Evaluation

I wasn't that clear about what i had to do when i received the assignment brief. When I read all the assignment brief my first though was "Oh My God! I have to work really hard on this,ugh i don't think i can do it"; but i know i have to do it.I started work on my assignment straight after i got my assignment brief. I though it was going to really hard but it wasn't that hard like i though because i always work hard not to get behind of everyone. 

First i wasn't that clear what to do for my final design,after i done everything. I felt really happy because i done everything before the deadline. I am really happy to work on this first assignment brief and i can't wait to work on next project assignment brief. 

I had difficulties sometime like i don't understand what i should do,no ideas what to do for my projects,stressed out and confused about what color i should choose to look good for my projects. I had trip to go in the first week while i was start doing my project. That trip was to see the street art in Liverpool street for part of our projects. I took so many pictures from the trip on the trip. 
I choose 2 street artist for my projects. After i choose them to do it,i started research their biography and everything on the internet then i copied some and print out. 
I copied same pictures and drew simile like them. I done 7 artist on this first projects i think i had done really well because i worked really hard on everything. I drew a lot of Kara Walker's work,Stik,Si Scott and more artist. When i found some information about the artist i don't really get what it is all about and stuff so i read so many times to understand, that is the only difficulty i had.
On my final deisng I used 2 of Stik's art and panda from my mindmap on my sketch book,i drew picture of my necklace *M*,dog that i found it on the trip. I love drawing and painting even though i am not really good at,i am still improving my drawing skills every time. I was so worried about to draw it on the big board enlarged from the A3 sheet, but i made it and I'm happy. Then i believed that everything is possible, but it was really hard to draw it the first time when i enlarge it to the board. 
I always spend more time with my work,assignment. Whenever i have free time, i think about how to improve everything i done it already. I always looked at my sketch book,every time when i looked at it i put more things to make it look better and better than now. I had to rush when i was writing this evaluation i thought i won't finish it on time but i did.
I completed everything on time, and i think i done it really well. I really enjoyed working on my assignment.
I can't wait for another assignment to work on.

Kara Walker

 Kara Walker was born in November 26 <1969> in south Africa. She is contemporary African American who explores race, gender, sexuality and identity in her work. She use black cut paper silhouettes. She was born in Sockton California, her mother worked as an administrative assistant. Her retired father is formally educated artist and an administrator. 


(Career)
   Her works have been shown at Johannesburg, Chicago, New York, Minneapolis, she has also been internationally and featured on PBS (Broadcast Television Network). Her work graces the cover of musician Arto Lindsay's recording, Salt (2004).
Walker's artwork is reminiscent of Andy Warhol's pop art during the 1960s. Walker adored Warhol growing up as a child. Walker uses images from historical text books to show how African American slaves were depicted during Antebellum South.

In 1997 walker was 28 at that time, there was a lot of criticism because of her fame at such a young age and the fact that her art was most popular within the white community.

In 2007 she was listed among time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world,  Artists and Entertainers, in citation written by Barbara Kruger Artist.
Walker was included in the inaugural exhibition of Sacra Mounche Gallery "The practice of Joy before death, It just wouldn't be a party without You" - February 2009   

Kara Walker works are challenge to the traditional concepts of race based on thinking and to narratives of enslavement and oppression. Her art forces us to questions our understanding of power and how it manifests itself with time space between people. 


I have done 5 of her works in my sketchbook they are in page 11,13,15,16 and 21. I just used the simple technique to all the pictures. I really like his art so i have done a lot of her works. I also have this short video of her talking about uneasy relationship with her imagination.

Martin does drawing and painting, all his works are colorful and his art is different with any other artist. Craig Martin's style of detached conceptual. Craig Martin's personal life is he had wife Jan Hashey and had one daughter name Jessica Craig Martin. All his pictures are colorful and clean even though many different things in the one picture.               
This is one of the picture of he drawn. I like this picture so i choose this picture to draw because it looks clear and this picture is talking about the world news. When i saw the picture for the first time, it looks colorful with letters. In the middle of the letter it has the world map ball. I looked at this picture about 3 times i can see its talking about news. Also the world is in the middle of it,so i can see that it is talking about world news. He used ten color in the picture. 
The technique he used are very simple, constructed and then painted the color inside the letters.
(Michael Craig Martin's life, Career)
 In 1945 his family moved to Washington D.C, when he was in US he was given a religious education, initially for eight years in a Roman Catholic School run by  nuns, and then in the English benedictine Priory School. After that he gained an interest in art through one of the priests, who was an artist, and was also strongly impressed by a display in Phillips Collection of work by Mark Rothko.
Craig Martin studied in the Colombia where his father had employment for a while. He attended drawing classes given there by artists, then in 1959 attended Fordham University in New York for English Literature and History, while also starting to paint. His parents had no experience about art. 
In 1961, he studied art at the Academies in Paris and in the fall began a painting course at Yale college, where the teaching was strongly influenced by the multidisciplinary experimentation and minimalist theories on color and form.
 In the 1980s, Craig Martin was a tutor at Goldsmiths College Department of Art in 1980s.. He was a significant influence on the emerging 'Young British Artist'  generation including Damien Hirst.
They both are doing conceptual art which int eh concepts or ideas involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetics 'a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty art and taste with the creation' and marterial concern. Philosophy is the study of general problems such as those connected with knowledge, values, reasons mind and language. Damien Hirst. was also helpful in promoting the freeze show to established art world figures. He was a subject for an article in the regarding the mentors of British art, it was entitled schools of thought and described his influence in greater detail.

Stik

 Stik is my second favorite street artist. I have seen two,three of his drawing in east London (Liverpool street) when i went to the trip to take pictures of street art. He is a different artist with any other artist. He doesn't draw a letter, just draws the feelings,emotions of human. They all look very simple and can tell what they are talking about in the picture,what it is trying to say. His art is all about emotions and relationship between one person and other.
This first picture is showing that one and one person have some problem, so they are arguing and shouting each other to get win. Stik used spray paint and paint on this picture. I think this picture is really nice they way he drew is really simple clear and he has shown clearly what this picture is about.
I have so many pictures that i like it and want to show and tell what i think of them.

This is the second picture that i like from one of his work. There are 4 girls standing inside of the building and one seem like a baby but they all of them has their own feelings look shy,feel weird,no idea where she is,happy and the baby face is look like wants something or need something.
Stik just used color paints and spray paint on this picture,this picture is crowded and small but it looks clear and see what is saying.

This is the third picture that i like because this picture is about love. It could be friends,could be boyfriend and girlfriend. It looks very peaceful and warm when i look at this picture, because this is showing how they love each other and they will protect each other whatever things come to them.


He used spray paints and paints on every of his art,he used the paint roller. Stik is a really good artist. His art works are really amazing and different with any other street artist. He has the reason why he draws those kind of human emotional art. He was homeless for a while so he shows lots of about emotions of human.

He is from Hackney wick. He has moved west through shoreditch across London. He has been working in London for 10 years now.


This is the video of he is drawing on the wall.

Malarky

 Malarky is spanish. He is a street artist,illustrator and skateboarder.He draws since a child, after when he started skateboarding as a teenager that is when he became a graffiti artist. He Divides his time between Barcelona and London. This picture is in east london near liverpool street.

He draws on shop, trucks, walls and the shutters most.

He said he wants his graffiti to make people smile, It really does too. Because they look enjoyable,look fun and cute.

Malarky is the great  graffiti artist and i like it that's why I choose him for my street art research. I like Marlarky’s street graffiti most in east London street art. I have seen he painted on trucks and walls shutters.

His graffiti are really interesting. It can tell how colorful it is just by one look. He draws lots of game cartoon characters. He divides human legs and the heads of foxes. He makes things up it doesn’t even have it in outside real life.

He uses lots of different colors and also draws foxes a lot. He has shape of characters influenced by letters.
I think his arts are really really great, they all look fun and cute some pictures. The kids also like his art works, adults are like it too because he draw extraordinary characters.
