I have nostagia for this image because its something I love doing and watching. Many people say basketball is a barbaric sport.  I say its what I was put on this world to do.  I always desired to play basketball, but if I can't play basketball I would be upset and would move on.

The artist that I chose was Jeffrey "Jeff" Koon.  He is known as a postmodern artist because of his abilities to make objects out of balloons and other types of material.  He usually makes all of his artwork have some type of texture to it.  His famous artwork was the one where he made the brown shaggy dogs.  His abilities to make different things are making people understand the true meaning of art.

The person I have chosen to research on is Jeffrey Jeff" Koons.   Jeffrey Koons was born January 21, 1955 in York Pennsylvania.  As a kid, Jeffery went to his neighbors house's to sell candy.  Jeffery is known for his amazing modeling and his abilities to make things out of balloons.  Jeffery makes a fortune off of his artworks and surprisingly able to live off that.  I chose this person because I was interested in his abilities to make things out of balloons and the artwork he made of the three dogs.

This Stereotuype is known as the Women and Men bathroom sign in public places.  The stereotype helps people identify the difference between Male and Female.  I chose this artwork because most of the peopel in the world don,t really know the true definition of stereotype.  Stereotypes are qualities assigned to groups of people related to their race, nationality and sexual orientation.

I feel that this poster contains Re-contextualization because of how it is used.  This can be a offensive poster towards Barack Obama.  I say this because when or if he see this he might get emotional because of how racial it looks.  It can be inferred that a white person did this drawing.  This can also be layering because it looks like the designer put the background on first and was followed by the picture

This past First quarter, I have learned a lot of different things that made me change the way i think of art.  I always thought and felt that art was only a drawing or a sculpture or something that is handmade.  Now I know that it isn't just a piece of drawing or sculpture, its the beauty and the creativity that artist put into their artwork to make it have their own voice.  Many artist set themselves apart from others by using their own technique and creativity in their artworks.  I really enjoyed the handmade book activity we did in the first quarter.  It helped me see how talented my classmates are and it really push me to do my best in having the best book.  The work we did on the Principles and elements also helped me figure out what art really is.  Now I am looking forward to doing more activities in art and doing more projects like the handmade book one.
