The artist is using most of the art elements, he is using; line, shape, color, value and, space. I think this artworks is a modern representation of the chinese Ying-Yang symbol ment to signify good and bad in equal parts. However in this artwork the artist might be trying to show how good and bad come in unequal parts, more bad than good

Picasso used, color to create emphasis. It seems like Picasso used all the different hues and tones of blue to create emphasis in the beige color of his guitar. The beige, being surrounded by all of the blue pops out to the person looking on the painting. The color also creates a sense of unity since all of the colors, besides the guitar, are different types of blue. Picasso also implied value with is choice of blue.

I believe that race and gender have little to nothing to do with  an art work. Paintings don't say "Oh i was painted by a black female" or "Hey my creator isn't white". If paintings were judged by race and/or gender many painters would not contribute to todays art. Jacob Lawrence is a prime example of a famous african-american artist who published several books before his death in october of 2000. Do you think that the criticism  against african-american art can be traced back to the actual content of most african-american art?
Art obviously reflects the artists social standing in life, so therefore should the artworks be judged separately due to design and craftsmanship?

My first expirience in an art class was the second week of 6th grade when we did blow art. Basically we dropped some bplack paint on a piece of paper and blew it in all directions. By the end of the class half of my class mates were doubled with headaches and all of us were a little light headed. my own work looked a little like the nickelodean logo all splattered like. The art teacher was fired after that class for making us do a potentially dangerouse art project so from there the class was much simplier.
