Drawing Class so Far

Planar Artists

Few Facts
(born November 15, 1920) is an American painter whose most famous works are of cakes, pastries, boots, toilets, toys and lipsticks. He is associated with the Pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture, although his works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists.

Wayne Thiebaud's work was what caught me eye the most and as I did some looking found that I really like all of his work. Most of it is sweets and other items that bring back memories. I am also fond of all the colors that he uses they tend to be warmer and give a happy feeling to the viewer.He dose a lot of cakes and though it is simple and just a few plane's he uses paint to give the look of texture to his pieces.

Perspective Artist

Julian Beever

Julian Beever is an English chalk artist who has been creating trompe-l'œil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. He uses a projection technique called anamorphosis to create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle. It is often possible to position a person within the image as if they were interacting with the scene.

Beever works internationally as a freelance artist and creates murals for companies and big institutions.Beever first designs his work on paper. Once finalised, a camera is placed at a distance from the art on the pavement which he returns to in order to observe the image through the lens a number of times, as the camera's wide angled lens can create an optical illusion which distorts the actual size of objects, which aids in maintaining perspective.

Besides this pavement art, Beever also paints murals with acrylic paints and replicas of the works of masters and oil paintings, and creates collages. Among his other work are drawings, usually themed around music.

He is a favorite of mine because his works are interactive and really make everyone happy. He uses chalk like I have never seen before.He uses chalk to put the viewer in a situations that are hard to come by in everyday life.
