Art 21 Reflection

Jeff Koons 
His art work is about connecting with others. He likes that he does not know what is going to happen and what the reactions of people will be to his art. He tends to work on his computer to vary the color in photos before they are made into larger paintings. He also works with many different materials. He even creates floral arrangements. I could relate to Jeff Koons because he seems to be someone who likes to try new things using new materials which is something that I also enjoy.

Mary Heilmann 
Wants her art work to cause trouble and to make people think about it. As she grew as an artist she began to love collaborative work. Her art work is about putting emotion that can read to other into the art work using many different techniques. Her simple ideas become obsessions and she spends hours working and thinking about them. I can relate to Mary Heilmann because when I get really caught up in a piece of work I want to make it the best that it possibly can be like Marry.

  1. What do you think is Jeff Koons' goal in his work? To connect with others in what way? Why does he make the work he does?

    How does Mary Heilman put emotion into work with so few colors and shapes?
