quick help

i need quicky help.

i have to write a small piece on colour for college tomorrow.
he said we have to do a historic and contemporary piece.
so historic is easy, he said that so long as the artist was dead, it would be ok but for contemporary, the piece has to be from the last 10 years and i cant find anything!
with art and stuff, we never really did modern stuff...i dunno if i should pick something, like i know my art teacher has some images online but dunno if it has to be someone well known.
everyone i think of, isnt from the last 10 years or is but they dont do paintings. i dunno if i should just do someone kind of contemporary like warhol or o'keefe even tho they are dead and just be like...look, noone has any decent DEAD FAMOUS paintings since 1997 and now.

anyone got any ideas?

from the MOMA

i searched for material made either in 1997-present. hopefully that helps.

thank you cookie.
ill have a look.

its kinda hard to do because i need something with colour. i just did van goghs sunflowers (bit of a cheat as i already did them in my higher paper ) so i need something colourful but a bit different.


this is the piece by my teacher which i really like actually and her site has a bio and stuff...ill write it up as its only like 200 words...

uhmm...


can;t think of anyone else right now.

David Hosking (i think that's his name) is a local artist here and uses brightcolours, and hje's definalty still alive because i met him ha ha

thanks tho it was for today.

i discovered elizabeth blackadder is still alive and did it on her

yeahh sorry it was late!
but oh cool, i'm glad you got it done. I never get work done for deadlines...

well i barely did it...had like a week with no college and was doing it this morning! eep!

and just cos this is art...YEY I GET TO GO TO AN ANDY WAHROL EXHIBITION TOMORROW!

Ohh coolies! Have fun =)
I'm not a massive fan on la warhol.
but i'd still like to go see his work!

if its the Warhol exhibit at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, then i went there last week
and popped one of the big silver balloons.
ooooops

oooh yey for being in my city!

and yeh it was.
omg i loved that room! it was so fun but relaxing. altho baaad girly popping one i could have sat in there for ages.

ive asked my dad to take me back on saturday, as it finishes on sunday. i adore warhol...its just very...me!
and im gonna take my camera for that room. some photos might look cool in my logbook or something

i wanna go see the warhol museum now...altho i dunno if pittsburgh has any other attractions! hehe

hahaha yeah i hit the balloon thing with my sketchbook...didnt really think about that one haha
yeah when i was there,this guy kept following me round with his camera quite scary.
i thought it was amazing seeing some of Warhol's work, because its something you hear a lot about and then to be able to actually see it is great.
you're so lucky to live in edinburgh its a lovely city.

yey i think so too!
my dad and i are going together on saturday! yey!

did you go to the bit upstairs? i loved that bit because i'd seen obviously his super famous stuff like monroe and all that and i'd seen some of the stitched photographs but i hadnt seen the drawings and stuff before...like this one:

so i thought that was really cool.

altho that one makes me giggle because it looks like boobies!

i got a massive book on him out of the library today because im starting my logbook :s eep

I'm not much of a fan of Warhol's popular stuff, but I do love the stuff I find in the depths of webpages, such as that ice-cream looking thingy.

Yea, I love Andy Warhol but some of the really famous stuff (like the soup cans) is annoying. Though I sort of love him for the soup cans too, because it's funny.

yeaaah some of the little sketches and things were more interesting then the more famous things, i think.
the lift there was so cool haha but i fell out backwards cos i didnt realise it opened at both sides :\ oops
my god the gift shop there was so expensive, iwas going to get the book but it was like...super expensive

yeh we were disappointed by the shop because we're doing our art logbooks, like keeping a diary of artists and stuff and galleries we visit and they were like "oh yeh buy some postcards to put in" and there were no postcards! (except a few with photos of andy on them...i might get one of those today ) and there's no decent leaflets either.
but yeh the stuff was crap/expensive. i remember there was a smaller show at one of the other galleries and my dad and i went and in the gift shop i bought a sheet of Marilyn print wrapping paper because it was like £1 whereas a print of it was like £10 for just one of her faces. I forgot to check if they had wrapping paper...will have to look tomorrow.

there was a ruler for 7 quid i was like whaaaaat.
i went to the national gallery as well, amazing stuff in there.
the william blake exhibit is really lovely.
