Joseph Cornell

 Joseph Cornell was an American artist and also a film maker. He worked with assemblage. He mainly worked using boxes for assemblage pieces and I realized he seems to go for a vintage look and also uses birds a lot. I really like the birds and in a few of his pieces he uses maps as a background. I really like his work and it reminds me of my family's house in main because there a lot of old things in the house and it just gives a calm feeling. When it comes to principles and elements of art, I definitely see texture, color, form, variety, and space. Again, I really enjoy the colors he mainly uses which seem to be gold, a dark blue, white, and brown. There are a variety of things he uses in these sculptures like the key, birds are a repeating thing I noticed, maps, and wood or having a texture that looks like wood.

Below are 5 of his works:

Chimeras!!

A chimera is a female, fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail (in Greek Mythology). However, the chimera we're talking about now is simply a hybrid. It is a mixture of two embryos mostly animals but human embryos are also a thing.  "Second,  chimeras  can arise when developing fraternal twins share a blood supply. This  happens  when the twins (who have different DNA) share a placenta and cells from their blood mix." The ways it's been depicted are the Greek Mythology monster. Below are photos of what a Chimera can be:

Bert Simmons

Bert Simmons is a Dutch artist who makes lifelike sculptures out of paper. He uses technology (Bender) in order to map out the positions on the person's face using black dots to then print out a mask like paper, that he then uses many to create these life like sculptures. Example below: He uses the pieces created with Bender that are 2D in order to create these 3D sculptures. It can require countless hours of time to cut and put together these pieces, but they're really awesome. It's cool to know that there are other ways to help in making 3D art like this.  Below are some other pieces from his collection: This next photo shows a shortened version of what happens in the program:
