Art Inspirations

Balloon Dog, Jeff Koon 2011

I chose this piece because I like that he took something that is small like a balloon animal and sculpted it much bigger than it actually is. Also, I like that he uses stainless steel for his sculptures.

Starry Night, Vincent Van Gogh, 1889

I like this piece because of the different textures and brush strokes that Vincent Van Gogh uses.


Gold Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, 1962

I chose this piece because I thought that it was interesting with what he did with the colors. He didn't make this piece very realistic but it still looks like the person he was painting.

Woman With a Parasol, Claude Monet, 1875

I think this piece is interesting because of the way the brush strokes are shown. Also, what makes this piece interesting to me is that it was painted to show the woman from a worms eye view.

The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali i Domenech , 1931

This piece is interesting to me because it is a surrealistic piece. I see clocks being melted in this and I really like the concept of this piece.
