The New Fine Art – Part 3 of 3
Sweets! Candy! what do you think of cake sprinkles and marshmallows? For most of us we think of something edible like candy, or pastries but for Michelle Wibowo, she used it in a different way. She used half a billion sprinkles, 10000 marshmallows to recreate “The Creation of Adam” by an Italian artist Michelangelo and she called it the “The Baking of Adam.” The art work was 5.7 meters wide by 2.8 meters tall and took 168 hours to complete. She created this for the 450th anniversary of Michelangelo’s death.

The New Fine Art – Part 2 of 3
Color pencils! How do we use color pencils? It is mostly used as a coloring or drawing tool but in this case it is a whole different story!
This drawing or… um… a collage i should say, is made with the use of color pencils. LITERALLY! The whole pencil, with the wood and everything! This collage was created for the Faber-Castell campaign by Ogilvy & Mather Singapore, the color pencils were use to recreate the painting “The Scream” by Edvard Munch and “Terrace Cafe at Night” by Vincent Van Gogh.

Damien Hirst: Modern Art’s Jack the Ripper (Guest Post)
Photo by: Anton Corbijn
Hello everyone, my name is Marlon Palmer from Cartoon Art and I’m here to talk about an art visionary named Damien Hirst. How do you create art? Do you slap some paint on a canvas, and name it “Early Morning Sunlight” or chip away at a boulder until a figure appears? For a lot of people that is what art is, they only recognize the classic mediums for creating art, but not Hirst. For Hirst anything can become art, and he shows this many times over through his work. Throughout his career Hirst has taken many unusual objects and made it into art, like butterflies and half smoked cigarettes, but what he is best known for is his Natural History Series where Hirst took animals and suspended them in formaldehyde.
Natural History , Damien Hirst
With this series Hirst took something that people never thought could become art and made it so, showing us that art doesn’t have to stay stagnant. You don’t have butcher a goat but to can find new and interesting ways to create art.

MoMA Review
The Museum of Modern Art is located in midtown Manhattan, New York City, at 11 West Fifty-third Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. Since it is a modern art museum it ranges from many different styles. For example expressionism, dada, surrealism, photography, cubism, minimalism, and many other types of works. I liked how this museum has a vast variety of art works made by different artists that had worked on the same style. Although it is the same style, they are all created different differently. I also liked that it is free for most college students and free on Friday evenings. I recommend this place to any one that is interested in art in general because not every art piece is created on a canvases and some sculptures are created with every day objects that we see.
