Kehinde Wiley

This is a picture of the French Rococo, it is a image of a girl swinging over a peaceful garden. It is a very moving and calming image. The lady in the painting looks very relaxed, and chill. All of Wiley's work is calming to me, it all has a message. For example the piece with the man in the Terrel Davis jersey says volumes. The jersey of Davis represents confidence, and perseverance. As the life of TD was a tough one. The mans arms in the painting are in the air, as he is relieved or how happy he is. This picture really speaks loudly with the blaze orange in the background which really adds to the picture.

1. I do agree with his pictures. They are interesting and very thoughtful. I especially enjoyed his piece with the little girl floating away with the balloons. It kinda of reminds that everyone can "float" away if you don't keep your feet on the ground.

2. Yes I believe that graffiti is art, it is alternative newer art but still art in the least. Artist use tag names so that if they are caught they don't get charged for having a different way to express their emotions. I think that anyway of express a emotions is art, it might be graffiti or music or anything.

3. I think it is very important because without expressing your emotions or your thoughts. People need to express emotions and if they feel like they need to do it publicly then that is just their choice. If all people just kept their feelings all locked up the world would never be enept to change. It would be a boring change-less world.
