Bernd Ribbeck is from Germany. I find the artworks of Bernd Ribbeck unique because of the different directions of lines. I think that the lines in Bernd Ribbeck’s artworks form patterns. The majority of Bernd Ribbeck’s artworks that I found on the MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art Website primarily portray subjects using paper and ink. I think that the colors in most of Bernd Ribbeck’s artworks are green, blue, yellow, and purple. 

In Untitled by Bernd Ribbeck, which is on the page’s left side, I think that the shapes look like a doorway. In Bernd Ribbeck’s Untitled, I think that the doorway appears to increase in size and the shapes and colors overlap. In Bernd Ribbeck’s Untitled, which is on the right side of the page, I think it is amazing how the lines create forms that seem to have a certain size and proportion. In Untitled by Bernd Ribbeck, I think that the lines create a form that reminds me of a star. In my artworks, I try to recognize how lines create the main shapes.

Tom Levine is from America. Many of the artworks of Tom Levine that I found on the MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art’s Website show shapes that look like large windows. I think that Tom Levine’s artworks mainly uses squares and rectangles. In the artworks by Tom Levine, especially 12.XII. 03 and 22.IX.03, the large rectangles seem to provide a border for the smaller squares. I think it is interesting how Tom Levine uses many materials to create his artworks.

In Tom Levine’s 12.XII.03, which is on the left side of the page, I think that the colors that are in 12.XII.03, including gray, light blue, and white, are unique. I think that the colors Tom Levin uses in 12.XII.03  makes it appear that the window looks out onto an ocean and sky. In 22.IX.03 by Tom Levine, which is located on the page’s right side, I think that there appears to be a reflection in the smaller squares. I think that the way in which Tom Levine portrays the artwork 22.IX.03 makes it appear that the main shape is made of glass. I think it is great how Tom Levine seems to use one color that stands out from the rest of the colors in 12.XII.03 and 22.IX.03. While creating my artworks, I enjoy showing the reflections on objects.

The year that Judy Pfaff was born in was 1946. Judy Pfaff is from England. Judy Pfaff creates installations and sculptures that are influenced from nature. I think the artwork of Judy Pfaff is interesting to study because of the variety of lines and colors that create complex designs. The artworks of Judy Pfaff remind me of patterns that are abstract, which I think demonstrates the beauty that can be found in everyday objects.

In “Black Swan” by Judy Pfaff, which is located on the page’s left side, the lines appear to take the form of different types of leaves. In Judy Pfaff’s “Black Swan” I find it unique how the leaves fill the entire artwork, which I think gives the leaves a decorative feature. I also think that the color mixture used in “Black Swan” by Judy Pfaff is unique because even though there is only a  small amount of orange in the artwork, I think it contrasts with the light blue and black colors. In “Buckets of Rain”, which is placed on the right side of the page by Judy Pfaff, I think that it is amazing how the numerous, dynamic lines create the main forms of the artwork. In Judy Pfaff’s “Buckets of Rain” the lines appear to be in the shape of trees and branches of a tree. I think it is interesting how the images have a variety of compositions and use colors that are bright purple and black to depict the forms in “Buckets of Rain” by Judy Pfaff. I think the artworks of Judy Pfaff are interesting because of the different materials. I enjoy learning about new materials that can be used in artworks.

Robert Ryman is from the city of Nashville in Tennessee. Many of Robert Ryman’s artworks on the PBS, art21 Website seem to have a limited range of colors. I think that the artworks of Robert Ryman are interesting to view because of the multiple layers of paint on the page. Also, I think it is unique the way Robert Ryman mixes colors. In Robert Ryman’s artworks, I can notice the brushstrokes that seem to go in multiple directions on the canvas.

In “Untitled” by Robert Ryman on the left side of the page, I find it unique how only some of the colors are visible from the white background. I think Robert Ryman’s “Untitled” also seems to have lines in the paint, which I find interesting. “Series #23 (White)” by Robert Ryman, which is on the page’s right side, seems to use two colors, white and blue. Robert Ryman’s “Series #23 (White)” appears to have a shape of a cloud in the sky, and I find it interesting how the white paint that is located in the center of the composition appears to combine with dark blue background. In “Series # 23 (White)” by Robert Ryman, it seems that the artwork uses two shapes, including rectangles and circles. In my artwork, I enjoy using multiple layers of paint and colors to create different textures.

The artworks of Delia R. Gonzalez show different shapes and lines against dark backgrounds. Delia R. Gonzalez was born in 1972 and is from the United States. Many of the shapes in the artworks by Delia R. Gonzalez have natural forms and thick and thin lines that seem to move across the canvas. I think Delia R. Gonzalez’s artworks are unique because the backgrounds make the other brighter colors look like neon colors. 

In Untitled, the artwork on the left side of the page by Delia R. Gonzalez, I think that the multiple lines on the canvas make it appear that the artwork has numerous layers. I think that the two, gray lines in the center of Delia R. Gonzalez’s Untitled separates the artwork into two sections. In Delia R. Gonzalez’s Untitled, which is located on the page’s right side, I think that the purple and pink forms look like the shape of a feather. I think that Delia R. Gonzalez’s Untitled is interesting to view because the diagonal lines give the appearance that the canvas has a glass surface. I think Delia R. Gonzalez’s artworks are unique because of the vivid colors. When I took a painting class, I enjoyed mixing multiple colors to create different shades of a color.

Hurvin Anderson, the creator of Postcard and Entrance II (Study), was born in 1965. Hurvin Anderson is British. The artworks of Hurvin Anderson primarily use different types of paint and paper. I think that many of Hurvin Anderson’s artworks look like ink paintings. I find it interesting how Hurvin Anderson appears to use different shades of white, gray, and black in his artworks. 

After studying Postcard, which is located on the page’s left side and is by Hurvin Anderson, the artwork reminds me of a pond surrounded by tall trees. In Hurvin Anderson’s Postcard, I think it is unique how the plants are reflected in the pond. I think it is interesting how the painted lines make up the general forms of the trees, pond, and plants in Postcard by Hurvin Anderson. The artwork Entrance II (Study) on the right side of the page by Hurvin Anderson looks like a beach scene. I think that the palm trees in Hurvin Anderson’s Entrance II (Study) have multiple textures because the trees seems to have numerous circles and lines. After living in Southern California, I find inspiration for my artwork from the beach and its many elements, especially the ocean and sand.

Josh Smith is a creator of artworks who is from America. A lot of Josh Smith’s artwork contain different circle shapes, a variety of line thicknesses, and designs. In Untitled by Josh Smith, on the right side of the page, wide lines appear to form throughout the artwork. I find Untitled by Josh Smith, which is placed on the page’s right side, interesting because it seems to have a surface that has a texture.

I think there are many different objects that compose the artworks by Josh Smith. In Untitled by Josh Smith, the artwork on the left section of the page, I find the colors, such as the black, pink, and blue, unique because they almost appear as one color. I think it is great how Josh Smith seems to mix the colors in Untitled on the left side of the page. After looking at Josh Smith’s Untitled, it took me a long time to determine the forms. In Untitled by Josh Smith, the long lines have the appearance of leaves on a tree. I find it interesting when artworks use multiple color designs to create the page.

I enjoy studying That Is It and Clockwork in the Sky by Alfred Jensen because of the variety of shapes that compose the surface of the artwork. In That Is It by Alfred Jensen, I think that the four small squares make up one larger shape. In Alfred Jensen’s That Is It, the artwork appears to use a mixture of dark colors, including different shades of black and lighter colors, such as red and yellow. Clock in the Sky, an artwork by Alfred Jensen, I think uses shapes that frame the design. In Clock in the Sky by Alfred Jensen, I think it is unique how every individual shape is composed of two opposite colors. 

In both Clockwork in the Sky and That Is It by Alfred Jensen, I realized that they these artworks uses many small, different shapes and lines. I enjoying looking at images that have a variety of designs because it takes me a large amount of time to really understand the form and the shapes. Alfred Jensen appears to use shapes in his artworks, which include squares, diamonds, and rectangles. In Alfred Jensen’s artworks, he also seems to incorporate a specific number of colors. Guatemala is the area were Alfred Jensen is from.

The artworks #4 and #5 by James Siena, who is from America, both remind me of a moving checker board. I think it is amazing the way James Siena combines both lines and shapes to fill the artwork’s entire page in #4 and #5. In the artwork called #4 by James Siena, I find the wide and narrow lines take the forms of flowing waves. In the work of art #5 by James Siena, it looks like many of the shapes are larger than the other shapes in the artwork. In James Siena’s artwork, #5, it appears that some of the lines appear to be circled by thin, black lines.

In #4 and #5 by James Siena, I think the use of the contrasting black and white colors make the artwork interesting to view. I think that these artworks of James Siena uses a mixture of curved lines and two main colors, which I believe makes #4 and #5 look like a maze. Many artworks by James Siena has different sizes, shapes, and colors of lines.

Marcel van Eeden completed the artworks, both called Untitled, using paper and pencil.  In Untitled, the picture on the left area of the page by Marcel van Eeden, I find it interesting how people looking at the artwork are able to view the city through the trees. In Untitled by Marcel van Eeden, I enjoy looking at the angled lines that compose the three mountains. I think that in Marcel van Eeden’s Untitled, the artwork shows a large difference in scale, which I think is seen in the large, tall mountains and small houses. In the artwork on the right section, Untitled by Marcel van Eeden, I think the different shades of color allow the light coming from the windows on the left side of the artwork have a realistic quality. I find it interesting to draw the interiors of rooms. 

Many of Marcel van Eeden’s artworks have a variety of subjects, including images of buildings, landscapes, and scenes from everyday life. I find the artworks of Marcel van Eeden’s great to study because of the variety of light and dark areas. In my artwork, I enjoy using pencil when I draw objects.
