Pierre Bonnard: The Colour of memory
Pierre Bonnard was a French painter, illustrator, and printmaker, known especially for the stylized decorative qualities of his paintings and his bold use of color. He was a founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis, and his early work was strongly influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin, and the prints of Hokusai and other Japanese artists. He was a leading figure in the transition from impressionism to modernism. He painted landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes, where the backgrounds, colors and painting style usually took precedence over the subject.

Artist Research: Annette Messager My Vows
My Vows brings together hundreds of photographs that each present a small part of a human body: mouth, ear, foot, nose, genitals, hand, breast, and so on. Each hangs from a string, joining and partly obscuring others. Together they make a dense circle whose diameter is barely greater than the height or arm span of a tall person. The individual elements—male and female, old and young, seductive and repellent—form a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Physical, psychological, and sexual identities commingle in an inexhaustible variety of unpredictable relationships, which together threaten to overwhelm the stable patterns of our familiar arrangements.

Artist Research: Freddie Robins
Freddie Robins (b.1965) lives and works in Essex and London. Currently Senior Tutor and Reader in Textiles at the Royal College of Art she works to commission and exhibits nationally and internationally.
Freddie Robins’s practice crosses definable categories of art, craft and design. She combines these elements elegantly, and with playful wit subverts meaning and making, fusing a melting-pot of approaches to ‘craft’.
She uses knitting to explore pertinent contemporary issues of the domestic, gender and the human condition, as well as the cultural preconceptions surrounding knitting as craft. Her work aims to disrupt the notion of the medium as passive and benign. Her pieces often incorporate both humour and fear. There is also a display of almost obsessive perfectionism in the quality of each piece’s hand-made finish.

Poetic Objects
The first idea:
We wanted to use blade in lipstick, which is trying to say that nowadays women can do anything in order to become beautiful, though the process might be painful.
The second idea:
We tried to put a corset and a tie together. We chose the theme of feminine beauty. Nowadays, actually the standard of weather a woman is beautiful is actually defined by men. In order to present this idea, we used corset, which is a classic symbol of women trying to be beautiful, whatever the cost is. Then the tie, which is a symbol of men. We tied the corset by using the tie, trying to say that women’s scent is actually manipulated by men.

Artist Research:Leanne Shapton
A Canadian artist and graphic novelist, now living in New York City. Her second work, Important Artifacts and Personal Property From the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion and Jewelry, has been optioned for a film slated to star Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman. The novel, which takes the form of an auction catalog, uses photographs and accompanying captions to chronicle the romance and subsequent breakup of a couple via the relationship's significant possessions or "artifacts".
Swimming Studies is a wonderful, unique book from the writer and artist Leanne Shapton, author of Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry, with her artwork.As a teenager, Leanne Shapton trained for the Olympic swimming trials; now an artist, she is still drawn inexorably to swimming, in pools and on beaches across the world.
I really like the series drawing of different swimming pools. It is a perfect example of using typology. Very simple but very normal things in everyday life, but shapton has record those pools specially in a way that people hardly use.

Typology, Chronology and Continuity
Typology: Arrange photographs by their type. (Eg. hue, composition, same objects)
Chronology: Arrange photographs by time. (Eg. same place but different time)
Continuity: Arrange photographs by narrative. (Eg. process, journal, often used through “montage”,)
Ways of editing sequence:
-cropping
-re shooting
-scale
-format
-quality of print
-spacing
-location

Artist Research: Elizabeth Price
youtube
Elizabeth Price is a British artist who won the Turner Prize in 2012. She is a former member of indie pop bands Talulah Gosh and The Carousel.
Elizabeth Price describes her films as moving ‘from something that looks like a PowerPoint lecture, to something that looks like an infomercial to something that feels like a cinematic melodrama’. For the Turner Prize exhibition, Price is presenting her video installation THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979 2012. Comprising three parts, the video brings together distinct bodies of material into a dissonant assembly; photographs of church architecture, internet clips of pop performances and news footage of a notorious fire in a Woolworths furniture department in 1979. The film weaves together existing archives of text, image and sound to create video installations that drift between social history and fantasy.
In THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979, Price used a lot of irrelevant objects. To me it looks very abstract and depressing, with very deep meaning and thoughts. However, the idea is very unique and outstanding.

Artist Research: Eleni Kalorkoti
An illustrator from Edinburgh, Scotland now living and working in London. Kalorkoti graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2007, before training in screenprinting at Edinburgh Printmakers.
There are some pictures of Kalorkoti’s work for the New York’s and New York time.
To me, kalorkoti’s works got really deep meaning behind it. Also, it is very sensitive, emotional and exquisite. Also, I really like the way how kalorkotis uses colour and the way how the character has been drawn.

Scientific Artist: Albrecht Dürer
Albrecht Dürer, a painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Dürer established his reputation and influence across Europe when he was still in his twenties due to his high-quality woodcut prints. He was in communication with the major Italian artists of his time, including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini and Leonardo da Vinci, and from 1512 he was patronized by Emperor Maximilian I. Dürer is commemorated by both the Lutheran and Episcopal Churches.
The first picture, which is a drawing of a Rhinoceros, is definitely one of the most amazing drawing of Dürer ‘s in my opinion because he just did this piece of drawing by listening to other people’s description. However, it is almost very close to the real look of a Rhinoceros.
I also like the accuracy and the colour in the picture of a wing. Dürer presented the wing in a very real and accurate way. I can almost feel the texture of the wing.
