This was so hard to do because the first thing you wanna do is google them! I took out three books in the library on my artist who was.. Gerhard Richter
I didnt know anything about him only that he was this really rich artist who sold a painting for 25 million or something crazy like that .
So after reading about him I came up with a lot of information.
A lot of his work is abstract which kinda disappointed me as i don't really like that kinda art.
What did interest me about him however was his interest in photography and the photograph.
He loved to use a photograph for his subject rather than a real life subject this was strange because most artists are the oppoisite.
He did a seris of water colours which were again abstract they were also untitled so it was hard to identify with them.
One of his works i really liked was this....
I loved the effect of the paint and how it just looks like its supposed to be there?
Looks so effortless yet effective.
I tried this out myself for my mindmap I got some old photos and splashed paint on them i found watercolour to work best for this and i think that is what he also used.
OTHER PEOPLES PRESENTATIONS
I really enjoyed watching other peoples presentations it was very intresting to see others take on it.
Some artists stuck in my in my mind rather than others .
One that i liked was Luccii Reii I think thats what her name was,She was a cermaic artist and i liked her work as i like pottery and vases and stuff like that.
Another artist that stuck in my mind was an artist who carried out an experiment on spiders with lsd and found that there webs were not made correctly after this and they died I am definately going to look into these artists and make a blog post on there work :)
