If I were to change one thing about my piece, I would make my eyelashes more eyelash-y. This is because they are not very good and curvy like normal eyelashes should be.
There is definitely a difference between being inspired by someone's work, and stealing someone's work. When an artist steals another's idea, and doesn't not implement his own ideas, the thieving artist is in no way being original. The ladder, being inspired, is when an artist technically steals another artists idea, but implements his own ideas to make it his own. It is okay to use part of an idea or part of another picture in your piece if you change something or give credit to the original source. This is only acceptable if your whole piece is not just someone else's work. For my final piece I combined a compass and an eye. I chose these two items to combine because when I look at an eye it reminds me of a compass so it was easy to combine the two. I picked the medium I did, watercolor, not because I like working with it, but because it matched my idea because eyes have tons of blending colors and swirls in the iris and it is easy to blend watercolor. The most successful part about my piece, in my opinion, is the iris. This is because I picked a very nice purple and made two different shades of it which gave the iris dimension.
The part I enjoyed about this assignment was the fact that we were allowed to roam the school and take pictures. The thing I didn't like was that it was very cold out that day and we didn't get very good pictures.
John Thomas Daniels's work inspires me because he is recreating famous events in history. The amount of work and time put in to create these scenes is unreal. He manages to almost perfectly capture the exact image he is attempting to recreate. My favorite recreated picture is the one with the footprint on the moon because all of the rocks and shadows are perfectly identical. In conclusion, the artist, John Thomas Daniels, inspires me through his sculptures and pictures recreating famous events.
