What weird artists there are out there! Melena showed the class some crazy contemporary artwork! The piece I found most interesting and disturbing is the piece by Patricia Piccinini, The Young People. The half human half dog thing is disgusting; however sadly, it reminds me of my basset hound Lily, who I think is adorable and cute. I find it so odd that I can look at this piece and find it cute, even though it is so disturbing!!!
Lastly, VENUS. Every painting in art history is compared to Venus, usually Venus of Urbino by Titian (is the artwork that everything in the class is compared to). It is so crazy how people, even in contemporary art, look at old pieces of artwork, like the birth of venus by bonticelli to get inspiration from!
