Modern Day Peck & King

Modern Day Dama (Original Title & Artist Unknown)
Craft

Both pieces of art in these images are more modern works of art. One of my favorites from the art museum trip is "Modern Day Dama". This piece has been created with many mediums to create the art. There are lit matches, bobby pins, paint, sketch, and buttons etc. to create this woman. It looks like the paint and drawing are create first and the 3-D objects are placed on top.

Concept

I believe this piece is showing how one can use random and everyday object (maybe even not so modern objects) to create art. In addition, this piece could simply express the look of the modern day woman.

Composition

There are various contrast areas of darks and lights between the back ground blues and whites, to the lit matches and buttons and bobby pins. The most unique thing about this piece is the composition because many different types of mediums are being used. Although it is probably obvious that the 3-D objects would go on top of the one dimensional mediums, there is still a fun play between using everything in this work.
