I decided to search my art books for what inspires me and to give you an idea of what I like.
Save Our City by Michael Bieruthttp://designarchives.aiga.org/img/media/14593_m.jpg
What I like about “Save our City” is the proportion of elements. I find the image to be a balance between the white and black elements. I also love how words are placed vertical to suggest a city skyline. I love the simplicity and boldness of this image to create a message.
Seduction by Michael Bierut and Marian Bantjeshttp://blog.pentagram.com/Yale_Seduction_Sm.jpg
This Image is mesmerizing. I love the use of lines to make a design. The repetition of curvy lines creates a contrast to the rows of text that follow. The title on the image, “Seduction”, grabs your attention and is the main focus of the image.

I have an interest in installation work. I think pieces that are installed are brought to life. This work made of various materials, like photographs and net, becomes symbolic. I love how she grouped these materials in the shape of a heart. I love how she captures what make up love and what is in our hearts.
Star of Bethlehem and Other Plants by Leonardo da Vincihttp://www.arcspace.com/exhibitions/da_vinci_ex/Photo-11.jpg
I love repetition and line. I love drawings. Therefore, I love this drawing. I like how the drawing shows movement. I like how the placement and form of a line can give the essence of motion.
Guitar and Wine Glass by Pablo Picassohttp://www.mcnaytrc.org/images/04_sm.jpg
I love collages. Collages are fun and can feature almost anything. The combination of patterns, pictures, text, fabrics, and other variables can form an amazing final product. I also like how there are so many possibilities with collages.
The Tyger by William Blakehttp://johnfenzel.typepad.com/john_fenzels_blog/images/2007/03/29/the_tyger.jpg
Writing is a form of expression. Art is a form of expression. I like how this piece of literature is complimented with an illustration. I also like to combine text and imagery.
…of course the list of images that inspire me do not stop here. But, I do hope that the images above give you an idea of what I like and love in art.
