Multiple perspectives and views in art can be used to create a sort of surreal atmosphere, as shown in the art below. It can replicate a realistic atmosphere, or the artist can use it to create their own setting, one that wouldn't be able to exist in reality. Composition in art is the way a piece of planned out, and where elements of the picture are spaced out. Whether it's in 2D or 3D, a well balanced composition is needed to create a captivating piece. 

Someone I admire is Moxie Saturday, an artist that brings inspiration to me. I follow them on Instagram, and regularly view their work. They are very empowering and artistic and gives me hope for possibly working as a freelance artist in the future. As a fellow artist, I admire them greatly and hope to achieve the same level of craftsmanship they do one day. Someone else I admire is my mom. She is a strong woman and has always been there for me. She works to help me improve, and gives me hope. I don't know what I'd do without her love and guidance. She has always been patient with me when it comes to my mental health, which is a prominent part of my life. We work together to improve and get me better. She is such a beacon in my life. This technically isn't a single person, but my friends are extremely admirable. Most of my friends are artists as well, which is wonderful. I love being able to connect with them over shared interests and collaborating on artwork toget...

         Rob Cantor has always been a special musician to me. I've been a fan of his band, Tally Hall, since I was in middle school, and his upbeat tunes always helped me through hard times. He has very experimental music, with the use of lots of different instruments and style. Not one of his songs sounds similar to another one. His use of rhythm is very unique, relating to the principals of art. He also uses a mixture of instruments, creating unity in his music which I wish to express through my piece of him.

  I personally take inspiration from many forms. Whether it's the world around me, a certain song, or another person's artwork, there's always something I can look back on that drives me to create. Visiting other artist's online portfolios and being inspired by their work is something I clearly remember and still do to this day. I also collect images of statues and nature that inspire me and give me ideas for painting.      I'm motivated to express myself from experiences in my life. Feelings I experience can often be translated through art. I also am motivated to express myself from other sources, such as other artists and music. I'd like to share my experiences with mental health with the rest of the world and how I communicate it through my artwork. Here are some artists I'm inspired by- Moxie Saturday Angelina Ortiz (ofangie on instagram) Charlie Federico (foongish on instagram)

Marcel Duchamp was a French-American artist, most known for his paintings and sculpture.  Other passions Duchamp had included filmography, playing chess, and writing.  His paintings are very loose and shape-oriented, most of his pieces being made up of shapes. He often uses warm colors such as yellows, reds, and oranges in them. He was known for creating pieces dubbed "readymades", which were sculptures that Duchamp would make from an ordinary object and add to it until he considered said object art. One of the most noticeable examples of a readymade is the Bicycle Wheel, which consists of a front wheel of a bicycle being mounted upon a wooden stool. He called this style "retinal art", his intent being to please the eye.

Fauvism is a painting style that started in the 20th century and focused on using vivid colors and expressive brush strokes. Leaders of the fauvism movement included Albert Marquet, Henry Matisse, and Georges Rouault. They were inspired by artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Georges Seurat. They emphasized their emotional state through their art, putting lots of feeling and color into their pieces.

Francisco Goya was a Spanish painter and printmaker. He lived from 1746-1828. His artistic career started out with joyful and lighthearted paintings to pessimistic and upsetting ones. His portraits are shown to be lighthearted and pretty, however, as his career continued, he branched off towards more grotesque and scary paintings.
