Caroline Morin
The illustrations that Caroline Morin creates inspire me so much. I think it is beautiful how all of her drawings are in black and white with just a hint of color and I would really like to use that technique in my final project. Her style is so unique because she uses a lot of implied line to keep her drawings very simple. In this case less is definitely more, which I would also like to use in the final project. I think her Big Idea may be women's fashion or women's beauty and fashion. Mandrak
Mandrak is an artists that focuses on body image and eating disorders in their artwork, especially anorexia, which is the theme I want to use in my final project. I think it is beautiful yet disturbing how this artist has used old renaissance paintings as a theme in their work. When looking at the paintings the viewer is caught off guard because they would expect to see a beautiful, voluptuous woman, like you would in the time period it represents, but rather they see a very thin, sick looking girl. I also think this shows how our perception of a "beautiful" woman has changed over time. I think this message is extremely powerful and makes the viewer think. I would like to impact people in my final project like this artist has.
