"Self-Portrait" Photographs that i took of my self throughout this semester of Spring 2010.

Nothing Gold Can Stay #10 (Friend Till' The End)

Nothing Gold Can Stay # 10 (Friend Till' The End) - This is my finished product of my last art piece for the "nothing gold can stay" series. I had a lot of fun doing my first art series, and learned a lot about different mediums/techniques/sculpting/ etc. Now it's time to move on and take my art expertise to a new extreme!

Artist #30- Duane Hanson

Duane Hanson (1925-1996) - was an American artist based in South Florida. Was most known for his sculpting; life cast realistic works of people. He used different types of metal such as polyester resin, fiberglass, bondo, and bronze. Most of his artwork was based off the movement known as "Pop Art," as well "hyperrealism." Not only was he well known for these movements but as well a little from Simulacrum.

Artist #29- Louise Bourgeois

Louise Bourgeois - an artist and sculptor born in 1911. Her most famous works were most possibly the spider structures she created, titled "Maman." Louise's works are some times very abstract, and she speaks of them in symbolic meaning as the main focus. Bourgeois tends to find her inspiration in her childhood. She loves to use and try different mediums for her sculptures; rubber, wood, stone, metal, and fabric. She has a great amount of training to back up her expertise in the art world, and holds a field in sculpture and a little of painting.

Artist# 28- John de Andrea

John de Andrea - is an American sculptor. He is also know for extremely realistic polyvinyl or polychromed bronze casts of the human figure. In the most fundamental sense of the term, DeAndreas art is also Classical. His sculptures are direct descendants of the rouged, gilded, and waxy idols we know (though we scarcely believe) the great stone sculptures of Classical antiquity to have been when new. The artist's sensibility is at the same time peculiarly Mediterranean-another paradox, for this is an anti-Classical tendency-and his figures likewise are related to the illusionistic madonnas and saints of Spain, Italy, and Mexico with their "real" clothes and hair, and crystal tears. However, DeAndreas figures are wholly secular, with none of the sentimental passion that typifies these religious images.

Artist #27- Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst - born in 1965, Damien is an English artist and the most known member of the group called "Young British Artists" (YBAs). As of right now Hirst is claimed as the richest living artist to date. Hirst loves to incorporate "death" into most of his artworks; dead animals was one of his most successful series as an artist that sky rocketed him to the top. His single movement is with the YBAs, with the fields in Conceptual art, installation art, and a little bit of painting. Damien success with his art awarded him the Turner Prize. His most famous art piece is "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, For the Love of God."
