Post # 13

I am nostalgic for this pillow because it was very special to me.This pillow is also very comfortable to sleep on.One good example of this is that this pillow brings me.It brings me good luck in everything .hat I am trying to accomplish,every goal,and achievements.This fact tells me that this pillow is what will take me to the next level in what ever I do.Another good example is that this pillow is very good to sleep on,and makes me have very good dreams.This fact tells the reader that the pillow benefits in good ways.As a result of this the pillow to me is like a friend it is their when I need it.Just like a friend always is.

Fr3d Tomaselli post # 12

Fred tomaselli would considered to be a postmodern artist because  he wants people to figure out what his artworks art about.According to Tom"I want people to get lost in the work. I want to seduce people into it and I want people to escape inside the world of the work. In that way the work is pre-Modernist. I throw all of my obsessions and loves into the work, and I try not to be too embarrassed about any of it. I love nature, I love gardening, I love watching birds, and all of that gets into the work. I just try to be true to who I am and make the work I want to see. I don’t have a radical agenda." This tells me that he doesn't want a person to know what his artwork is right of the back.This maybe be why he uses cliches in his artworks,and also stereotypes.Another good example is tom uses an explosion of color and combines it with a basis in art history. His style usually involves collage, painting, and/or glazing.This fact tells the reader that it uses one of the postmodern visual strategies.As a result this all tells why this artist is a postmodern artist and why he use them in his artworks.

On the website moca.org I found a very interesting name Fred Tomaselli.Fred Tomaselli is an American artist who was born in Santa Monica, California, in 1956.Fred is known for his detailed paintings on wood panels.I chose this artist because he has a very creative name which I like.I also chose this artist because he has almost the same name as the weather man on wgn news at 9 o'clock.One example that proves this is that I like artist that do paintings because it was the first objective in art that I ever learned how to do.In conclusion,Fred tomaselli must be a very famous American artist because all of his paintings are very unique and creative.All of his artworks have a glitery touch to each of them.

Post #10 "last one in is a nigger"

File:1890sc Artwork 02.jpg
This artwork is aimed toward the blacks because as you can see the title is" the last one in is a nigger and also a white did the artwork .One piece of evidence that proves this because in the reading constructive meaning it mentions racial stereotyping which tends to exaggerate negative generalizations towards someone.As one can see this artwork has a serious type of negative affect on the blacks because it looks to me that all of the blacks were hopping into a swimming pool or something like that.A second piece of evidence according to the reading is that rather than learning about an individual person,the artist was making judgments based on the preconceptions about the blacks.The viewer responded automatically to the artwork and just assumed it was aimed to be racist and about black people. artwork by:Quadell
