| Roy Lichtenstein's Artwork: |
For this project we were focusing on non-traditional materials and when I had thought of using sprinkles for my project I was greatly inspired by Roy Lichtenstein and all of his dotwork in his pop art. When looking at his artwork I noticed that each color had its own direction in the pattern of where the dots were going. I took this into account when doing my piece because I really liked how in his art, instead of it looking like one print with a simple design of dots going in the same direction and spaced out the same, the way he choose to do it adds character and a unique value to his pieces.

When I did this project my work was greatly inspired by modern day contemporary artist Clet Abraham. He is known for “hacking” road signs all over europe and adding his own twist to them. When doing his project and taking an approach at appropriation, I was greatly inspired by the fact that Clet doesn't completely deface the sign and cause a disturbance. The art is subtle in its own way and when I did my art I also wanted to take an everyday object and change it slightly.I chose to take the “Fire lane” text on the street and change it to “Louis Lane”.
Looking back on both pieces I feel that I learned to make art more of my own. With my sprinkle art, the art being made is an exact picture of Roy Lichtenstein and I was inspired by the look of artwork. Whereas later when I did my appropriation project I was inspired by the idea of an artist and was able to build on top of that.
