Barbara Kruger Assignmet

1)   What do you see in this piece of art (describe it)?

    In this piece of art I see that people are trying to be too much alike and not showing their individuality.  People should be happy with themselves and not need to be like others to feel included.  I also see a need for people to be like others, to fit in, to hide their individuality.


2)   What kind of message did you try to give in this piece of art?

      In this piece of art I tried to give the message that originality is a could thing, and that people should show their individualality.  I wanted to people to see that looking like everyone else is not always good, considering the people we try to model ourselelves after are not always healthy.  I also wanted people to see that sometimes when you make yourself look like someone else, you look very fake and often unhealthy, which makes people unhappy.


3)   Do you like or dislike this piece of art?  Why?


     I like this piece of art because I think that it is very much like one of Kruger's pieces, and I think that the message is effectively portrayed.  I think that the contrast between the picture and the canvas really makes it stand out how similar the girls are.  I also like that the paint brush makes it look and feel that you have the choice to make the decision for your life, if you want to live like everyone else or if you create someone original.
