I FELL IN LOVE WITH BARBARA SCHREIBER'S (SPELLING?) ARTWORK! it was so simple, yet her colors worked so well. I loved the simplicity of her artwork. As much as this sounds like an insult, her drawings do not look like you need to be that talented to draw, but i think they're better than any Piccasso work. I found it stupid that a past teacher told her "nobody is going to take you seriously if you are funny". I love funny people. She shows that art doesn't have to be depressing or about a serious matter. Art can be comical and that is what I want to do with my art. I found "pregnant again" funny and i really liked her colors choices/how she drew. She draws as if she is drawing for a children's book. It would be hilarious if she made a mock children's book with her drawings. Especially the pregnant 5 year old. I'm very fond of the environment/an activist and when she talked about her piece with the two girls running after squirrels and then the squirrels running after them, she said "people control nature and then nature fights back". Right now in the world (global warming a big example) is going on-nature is fighting back! Overall, I love her humor and I love her art! But right now I am out of creative ideas and having the hardest time with project #3. It sucks.
