This sunflower looks very authentic as people normally draw it when it is in full bloom. The bright colours in it shows the happy emotions of Vincent Van Gogh when he was painting this artwork.

Fashion can be art too and often times fashion is the artistic medium people use to express themselves to the world, for example these sweatpants are pretty cool

this artwork appealed to me as it derived from the artists’ childhood experience of witnessing a large hot-air balloon crash onto his rooftop, and two balloonists suddenly appearing before him in the stairwell of his house, dragging a deflated balloon down the stairs. This gave him a sensitivity to those things

which did not always behave as they were supposed to, giving him the inspiration to paint this piece of art. I feel that it is amazing how he is able to release his childhood trauma and memory by painting, and the large orange balloon as the person’s face also represents the trauma he went through. the man is wearing a suit, which is supposed to be for more formal purposes, hence the balloon becomes more outstanding and impactful in showing the contrast of his trauma.

Memes are not traditional mediums of art, however I would argue that it is a newer and more modern form of art, brought about by the internet getting more and more accessible. It blends language and pictures together to create an unique and almost incomprehensible collection of pixels. Much like contemporary art, it is basically indecipherable to those without prior information and some general knowledge. Memes are a form of the artist's / original poster's (OP) thoughts and feelings about the current world situation. Just like art, they reflect what the artist is experiencing, showing through a collage of texts images of their attitude towards current events. Memes are also a medium where the artists are able to exercise creativity to elicit a emotional response or provide a thought provoking statement. The use of language is also important, linguistics can show the development of society and how societal norms shift over time. This is especially true in the era of the Internet, where any catchy phrase or a new word can be created and accepted by  the general populace and even Oxford themselves. The choice of words used in a meme is essential in achieving its goal of getting a response from the viewer. Hence, memes are a type of modern art.

Why are memes so appealing to me? To be honest, its not just me, memes can be appealing to anyone that understands it or can appreciate the message it can convey. It provides a relatable experience and shows that one is not alone in facing the world. Memes about a current situation can provide appeal to those who understands it, experienced it, or even provide comfort in the knowledge that else where in the world there are people like you, who share your opinions and believes, and have a similar sense of humour. However, memes could be incomprehensible to those who do not have a prior knowledge, creating a barrier to some who just saw it. Due to the rapid rate of information transfer, some memes are built upon the foundations of other memes. If one is able to understand the context of the meme and the meme itself, it can become very appealing.

For this meme specifically, it is shows an image of Joe Biden against a black background standing in front of what looks to be a podium, with the words: "It's Joever" over him. As Biden is looking down, frowning, this conveys the message that he is disappointed and upset. The fact that he is standing before a podium suggests that he has to be the bearer of bad news. Biden is the current 46th president of the United States, one of the most powerful people on Earth, the fact that he has to deliver bad news means something disastrous has taken place, that even he cannot do anything to solve it. The words "It's Joever" is just a play on his name and "it's over" By combining the two into "Joever", it provides comic relief as it is pretty funny, which is ironic provided that it is placed above a grim looking situation. The combination of dread and comedy makes this meme funny and appealing to me, as it is exactly how I feel about getting my block test results back. As I know I definitely did not do well, it is without a doubt over for me, however, I do not know how badly I would fail compared to my friends, which would be pretty funny seeing the disparity in marks. This meme perfectly encapsulates my feelings, and is very relatable and applicable to my current situation. Hence I chose this work of art and why I found it so appealing. It certainly is Joever now.

art:1. the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
2.the various branches of creative activity, such as painting, music, literature, and dance.

This work of art challenges the norms of the industry, displays countless forms of artistic beauty, as communicating themes that speak to the one appreciating the art.

First, the art defies the rubrics for success in the industry of animated films. It is easy to derive success by keeping in line with convention. The movie took many design risks that were directly contradictorty to the the progress towards ever more realistic animation , spearheaded by studios like Pixar. The fact it was not just a protest but a real bet on its success is extremely inspiring.

Second, the choices of art forms are impeccable. The use of dynamic points of view, thoughtful character design and a blend of pop, hip hop and compositions spesifically taylered to the movie create
What stood out to me was the design of the character "the spot". The design of the character embraces construction lines, haphazard blotches of black and a plain white silhouette. These individual elements seem to be a recsipe for shit, but they somehow synergies to form a more than cohesive design. This also somehow communicated to me the idea of indifferent excellence ,effortless intention and the ability to get straight As without revision. The idea of a god trait of trancendent intuition.

Third, the themes covered possess piercing clarity, democratising its appreciation. It encompasses various dynamics between different types of people and questions individual ideologies to name a couple. These themes are conveyed subtly yet distinctly, speaking those who view the art. This makes the barrier of appreciating the full potential of the art low, breaking the convention of pretentious, meta, abstract art that you almost have to lie to yourself to appreciate.

this artwork appeals to me due to its unconventional depiction of subject matter. the man wearing a bowler hat is able to keep his identity hidden by the apple that hangs directly infront of his face. what speaks out to me is that this artwork, done in the 1970s, is able to display a phenomenon we see in the modern world today — the concealment of identity in social media.
in the 21st century, we are able to interact with complete strangers behind a screen, only knowing bits and pieces of their identity which builds a fragmented reality.

The painting was painted using a method called Surrealist automation in which the artist suppresses conscious control over the painting process, allowing the unconscious mind to take over. I find it interesting because of the stories behind it. This painting is known to be one of the most haunted paintings as it's previous buyers, even the artist felt that someone was in the room in the painting’s presence. It had been returned three times as the buyers reported to see the shadow of the woman following them even in their sleep, driving them mad in fear, as well as giving them nightmares and intense headaches.

it is possible to make art using different techniques (e.g. not using a crayon to draw/colour in the stalks, but melting the crayons to create the above effect), which shows creativity in usage of materials :D

abstract art can be appreciated even when people may not know the meaning of the artwork. However it means something to the artist. This goes to show how there will always be someone out there that appreciates YOUR value.
