During this year staying home, our sanity, mindset, and independence all changed and shifted towards a way in which we could adapt to home. This environment adjusted me in particular. Sports, school, and myself have all slowed down. This collage that I made describes my life in quarantine. When it first hit, toilet paper was fought for, so I added a picture of toilet paper. In my life of quarantine I also worked with a bunch of technology. I built computers and coded so I added motherboard and arduino boards in my collage. I have also added a graduation cap for my graduation of middle school. This year has been a tremendous challenge but it has also improved the way I thought, worked, and lived.

The piece that I drew represented my life throughout quarantine. The nine boxes all represent different stages of my life, and what I did basically every day due to the restrictions that were set during quarantine. This piece has no title because having no title represents that there was a sense of the unknown.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece has two parts, the first is the underwater setting with the man and the kraken-like creature. This part represents the isolation that the quarantine brought and the other part, freedom tower in chains represents the quarantine itself and how we couldn’t enter any buildings.

So, this piece is basically just a collage of all the different applications that was important in quarantine. Some are recreational, and some are for school. I don’t know exactly what inspired me to make this. I randomly decided that this was a good idea, so I did it.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason I chose to draw this piece was that I was inspired by the creativity and how it represented multiple perspectives of different things and activities people did during LockDown. Many of images in the picture were relatable and some aspect which made the idea more related to what I did.

Lost in The Stars is a product of my pandemic experience. During the Pandemic, I experienced a Mental Renaissance, so to speak; I started contemplating life, I started thinking about the issues happening in the world, and I started to strengthen my Imaginative abilities. I started creating fictional worlds out of my past memories and experiences, I started seeing myself in different careers. I now realize that I do this because I want to get away from the world for a couple hours. Sometimes, after watching an episode of anime, I would just start thinking of other ways the episode could have ended. I got lost in my thoughts and I made my own path. In my piece, the stars represent my thoughts. In my piece, you will see some colored and uncolored stars, I did this because some of my thoughts are better than others.

# data[].attributes.body
I am August Porter, I made this art piece to recognize the sadness and losses experienced over the pandemic. In order to be truly happy, you have to recognize (fully) the sadness you have overcome. When I made this piece I kept this in mind. I thought about my bike being stolen, the riots going on in America about BLM but also the riots across the street from my house in the Czech Republic. I usually need to be in the “mood” for art and I was when making this. It is not the best but definitely shows what I was going for and that is what art is.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason that I chose to do my pc and the rest of my setup, was because during most of the pandemic, that was where I sat and did most of the things in my day. The reason that I chose to do it “picasso style” was because everything felt so crazy, and this was a style and a way that I could show that and my setup at the same time.

I chose Takashi Murakami because h is Japanese. He also seemed like a very good artist and kind person.

Ari Gibson was the artist behind Hollow Knight, released in 2017. The indie platformer only rose to popularity in 2019. Since it's rise to popularity Ari has given many interviews and has been followed up by Hollow Knight: Silksong, a continuation of the game's story based on one of the bosses. Hollow knight has also had comics made about it that explore the backstory of the NPC named Quarrel.

When I was watching the Initial D series each and every race had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I loved the artwork in the series because it felt retro and like a work of art. I liked each race because the main characters did not win every single race, like most animes turn out to be. The little details like the filters when a car is passed, make the whole show a blast to watch.

# data[].attributes.body
Shigeno is most well known for his art style and drawings. One of my favorite times in the show Initial D is when someone is passed in a race.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to use gradients to represent shadow on a 3d object. My respect for Ari increased tremendously while doing the project. If I were to do another project like this I would have spent more time on it and given it a background that relates to hollow knight.

Shuichi Shigeno is most well known for the Initial D series released in April of 1998. He won the Kodansha Manga Award in shōnen for Bari Bari Densetsu in 1985.

# data[].attributes.body
I selected this artist because I admire their art work and the manga/anime that has led me to the rest of the anime world which I could not have connected with multiple people without it. Now that I have learned about Kohei Horikoshi’s work and lifestyle, my opinion is unchanged and I still admire all of the artwork that has been made. I have learned that art is a struggling process of trying and trying again until you reach what you want and then you can snowball all of your work from there.

I chose Ari because Hollow Knight was a beautiful game that he drew, I learned where he is from and his motivations to get into the game development industry.

# data[].attributes.body
Their work does not necessarily connect to history since they are an illustrator of an anime/manga that takes place in a fictional world. Kohei Horikoshi’s audience is all around the world with the manga being such a big hit it hits all the way from Japan to USA and everywhere else. The art mainly is distributed through books, streaming services, and social media.

# data[].attributes.body
Ari hand-drew the entire hollow knight game, a platformer released in 2017. Though it only rose to popularity about two years after its initial release it was a fast rise.  He is now working on the sequel to Hollow knight, Silksong, that will be released soon, I hope.

Shuichi Shigeno, as the owner of a panda Trueno and a steel blue Mica (just like Takumi and his father Bunta), was clearly influenced by real-life street racing at the time. Part of the drifting aspect was introduced because of "exploits of Keiichi Tsuchiya, Japan's 'Drift King,' who favors a Toyota AE86 Trueno."

Kohei Horikoshi's twitter is typically only filled with sketches about the characters in Boku no Hero Academia. They are usually uncolored and in black and white but are fairly detailed.

1.What new skills did you learn to create this project?
I learned how to use pixelmatr better and was able to create a well sketch with it.
2.How did it effect the way you thought about your Homage artist?
It effected me to think that he is an amazing man and that he has worked on many many projects and movies.
3.If you made another project like this again how would you do it?
I would take more time and make a backround.

# data[].attributes.body
(Kohei Horikoshi) Some new skills that I learned to create this project are that I learned how to better improve my drawing process, but also improve at drawing anatomical poses. This effected the way I thought of my homage artist because it made me think deeper into the effort that is put into the drawing. If I made another project like this, I would probably make a better approach at where to start drawing. I would also probably choose a different form of art rather than just drawing with pencil on paper.

I think drawing cartoons and anime figures are very difficult. But now that I am used to it and find it quite fun, I will actively continue drawing anime. This style of art adds more of an enjoyment towards art for me. I tried many times to draw Naruto, and each turned out to be better than the last. This experience truly toned my skills within art.

When it comes to art in a cartoon and anime style. I think Masashi Kishimoto demonstrates it almost perfectly. When I had the chance to look at his art and the Naruto manga. The drawings were easy to understand, the colors were easy on the eyes, and it looked absolutely stunning

These are key techniques that I have learned and have been able to get better at adjusting and bringing into regular drawing and art pieces. I realize that Mister Cartoon is takes a lot of time drawing the little details we may not see at first but what really brings the piece together.

Andy Warhol influenced the way we view art, fame and the commercial culture that we inhabit.
The influences that turned Warhol from a sickly boy in Pittsburgh, into one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, began at birth.
1. Julia Warhola

Born in Czechoslovakia in 1982, Julia emigrated to the United States with her husband, Ondrej Warhola in 1921. The Warholas had three sons, Paul, Andy and John. Ondrej often worked on construction sites away from their home in Pittsburg, so Julia stayed home and cared for their sons.

Julia was an artist. She drew, embroidered and made flowers from Campbell's soup cans, which she sold to supplement the family's income.

She was also Warhol's constant companion when, as a child, he became ill with Syndenham's chorea, a neurological disorder that can cause uncoordinated jerking movements of the face, hands and feet.

Julia provided Warhol with art materials and encouraged him to draw. He often sat at the kitchen table, across from a print of da Vinci's Last Supper, eating a bowl of Campbell's soup.

Warhol moved to New York in 1949 and began work as a commercial artist. Julia joined him in 1952, sharing his apartment and studio on Lexington Avenue. The apartment was also filled with cats...about twenty five of them.

In 1954, mother and son each published a book of cat drawings. Julia's book, Holy Cats was signed, Andy Warhol's Mother, in the distinctive script that Warhol himself emulated in much of his work.

Warhol's book was titled 20 Cats Name Sam and one Blue Pussy. The grammatical error of "name" in the title was done by Julia. Warhol asked her to script his work and he let her misspellings stand.

The influence of Julia's playful line drawing style, and whimsical page layout, can be seen in much of Warhol's work. Julia moved back to Pittsburgh in 1970 and died in 1972, at the age of 80.

2. Marcel Duchamp

Warhol collected works by Marcel Duchamp long before the two ever met. Decades before Warhol, Duchamp challenged the definition of art and the place of artists in society.

Duchamp moved from Paris to New York in 1915 and helped to establish the Society of Independent Artists. He submitted his piece, Fountain, for inclusion in one of the Society's group shows. Fountain was a urinal, signed R. Mutt, 1917. The piece was rejected and Duchamp resigned. Warhol traded three of his portraits for a copy of the Fountain.

Duchamp did a series of what he called, readymades, which were ordinary objects that he designated works of art, long before Warhol did the same with everyday household items.

Warhol and Duchamp were both talented, theatrical, unpredictable. They both attracted admirers who wanted to be part of their celebrity life styles.

I really like Warhol's spirit. He's not some painter. He's a filmeur, and I like that very much." - Marcel Duchamp

3. Nathan Gluck

Nathan Gluck was an artist and graphic designer and consummate New Yorker. He studied at Cooper Union, Pratt Institute and the Art Students League. In the early 1950s, Gluck and a few other artists, invited Warhol to be part of a show at the studio loft of graphic designer, Jack Wolfgang Beck. Gluck encouraged and supported the work that Warhol did and even worked as his assistant from 1955 through 1965 (at minimum wage).

He encouraged and helped Warhol with illustration and design in his commercial work, and left when Warhol began to use the Factory as his studio. Gluck was a little too conservative for the Factory crowd, although he did maintain his friendship with Warhol. Gluck went on to have a successful career as an art director and graphic designer.

Of course, no amount of influence could have produced such a great artist, without Warhol's innate talent and genius. But, sometimes, we all need a little encouragement, guidance and inspiration and Warhol seems to have gotten that from Julia, Gluck and Duchamp, three great influences in his life.
The end results, some of which hang in our gallery, are the product of the great mind of a great artist.

Andy Warhol was a great artist and a pioneer when it comes to art. he almost singlehandedly brought about what some people may refer jokingly too as modern art.

# data[].attributes.body
to a person who is not accustomed to Andy's work, they may seem random or out of place. For example, one of his better known paintings is of a soup can, but in four different shades of color. He wasn't afraid of what other people thought of his art, and that is what motivated him to make pieces that were outlandish at the time.

Andy Warhol's art has added and contributed to society in many different ways. lots of his art is about things modern things and current events. for example, he did a very cool painting of Marylynn Monroe.
