Roy Lichtenstein

He is a comic artist.  He is well know for his drowning girl comic. It Displays a girl that won't call for help and she is drowning. We as humans will try and do everthing by ourselfs and we cant do it and thats where i feel his piece is leading me.

Reflect on quotes

"Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time." William Shakespeare

I don't really know what Wm was trying to say here it is kinda mind boggoleing and you really can't grasp its meaning, but one thing that comes to me when i think about it.  A hobbit hole, weird right? But thats what comes to mind.

Change in comics

Well Batman, Superman, and the Fantastic four have all changed in some way shape or form. May it be the artist that designed them or the very fabric of how the Character has stood for or how they had fought evil and such. Like Captain America and how he has changed with feathers on his uniform now and that is due to a new character designe.  But hes not the only one. Batman also has and well what he stands for in general.  But that change really happened to all comic book heros when they went into that so

What does the Lascaux Cave Painting, the Bayeux Tapestry and the Hokuasi Mange have in commun?

The pressence of horses in them is the first noticable thing. But the horse means something in each of these time periods that they where made. In the Lascaux cave painting the horses appear to be free and non tame, while in the others the horse is a means for transport and a mean for war, like today how the car is ours.

Comic Book Styles

So in Comic's there are in fact 3 different styles in writing them. Manga, Cartoon, and American Comic.

The Manga style although subtily different from the other allows the artist's to show case there art as well as there Timeline and such things.

The Cartoon doesn't really show case the art as much as the comidey present in it, and alows the artist to focus more on there unique puns and timelines in it.

The American Comic book style is in fact the oldest and the one that most people will try to master since it is easily assessable and such. Allows the artist to open up the art in more ways than just the timeline and backround it also allows the artist to use more action and have it just

Define Comic

Comic by dictionary.com is well... not really a good definition. Its defination goes into that a "comic" should be comical and humerous, but if you've read any kind of comic book / strip, that they do have a pun or two but for the most part they are in fact serious and have a plot pertaining to that serious or comical tone present in it.

Define Illustration

Illustration by dictionary.com –noun
1.
something that illustrates as a picture in a book ormagazine.
2.
a comparison or an example intended for explanation orcorroboration.
3.
the act or process of illuminating.
4.
the act of clarifying or explaining; elucidation.
5.
Archaic illustriousness; distinction.


An Illustration to me though, is anything that a person creates that illustrates something or portrays some kind of emmotion

Differences and Simulaites between Leonardo DaVinci and Jackson Pollock

They Both care about how lines are used. Everything i have seen of Pollock's is abstract but the lines show so much more that a curve, they show the simitry and the 4 squares of ballence going on through his piece's. Da Vinci use's lines for a simular reason and he creates ballance and simitry through out his art.

One difference could be that well Pollock is a more abstract artist, and Da Vinci is well more concreate, creative but concreate nun the least

Lines

What is a line? A line to me is a sequence of dots that happen to touch and help create the contures of a piece of art.  But not only this a line could also be simbolic of many many things that take place here and in other places and there is a line that happens to keep us from there
