Postmodern

1. Postmodern - Art that goes against the traditional art of earlier eras and rejects the rules that say why art is art. It is a focus by the artist to create art that they like as opposed to what the experts and media like. It is a way for the artist to say whatever they want in a piece of artwork.

2. Feminist art is rather similar to Postmodern art because it addresses many different issues. Feminist art also is an expression of the emotions that the artist is feeling as well as a representation of the events that has happened in the artist's life. Postmodern art is a similar expression and representation.

3. Cindy Sherman's artwork consists of female figures in various poses and outfits. I think that her artwork fits into the Post Modern era because she puts whatever she wants to into the photo and the subject matter is more than likely an expression of how she feels about events or issues that are fairly recent in her life.

4. The artist I chose from the drawing center is Jaanika Peerna. The reason I chose Jaanika is because the marks she makes are very detailed and purposeful.  The concept of her work is similar to mine in the sense that every mark is complete by itself but relies on all the other marks to be individually complete. Each drawing is a part and a complete whole at the same time. I am aware of every single mark that I make and can retrace the ways that I made the mark because of how familiar I grew of it.
