Post #9 post modern art

 This artwork is an example of postmodern art. This artwork was created by Barbara Kruger.  In this piece of art I think she is trying to say that in this modern age, women like to shop and spend a lot of money. so she's saying that if a woman shops, it means that she exists. Barbara included a lot of visual strategies such as imagery and text, and appropriation. It includes appropriation because Barbara basically took the phrase " I think, therefore I am",changed it around and put it in her own words and style. It includes imagery and text because its an image with a text in it,and im describing it.

I really liked all the things we did and created in art. My favorite one was when we did the accordion book, even though i didn't really have fun creatingt the poem. I also really like the free sketches we get to draw in our sketchbook. Another really terrific thing is when we get to put up posts on our art blog. It's really cool and fun. I really learned a lot about art this first unit. I learned about the elements of art and priciples of design which was really awesome. I would have to say this first unit was a new experience for me and I really liked and I can't wait to find out what we do in the next unit.
