POST # 9


The subject matter of this postmodern artwork is to address the fact that there is not any peace. It shows a man hand that had his two fingers up, forming a peace sign. The background of this artwork shows that this portrait indicates a war in Iraq. A strategy that is used in this artwork is represntin'. I feel this artwork represents the events that occurred. Another strategy portrayed in this artwork is re-contextualization because she took a subject and connected it and made it out of another concept. I found this artwork extremely interesting to me.

The processing of bookmaking was not very easy, but was very interesting. I have learned a couple of things while doing so; such as this book helped me understand the principles and elements of art more. Some things I enjoyed about the project were how the completed book came out, while using different steps. Creating the poem was extremely difficult for me because it was hard for me to connect the principles and elements to an actual poem. There are some things that I would consider changing if I were given another opportunity to create another book. For instance, I would try to be much more creative. As you can see, creating an Elements and Principles of Art book was sort of difficult, although the finished project was interesting.
