Mimicking an Artist! - Art 2

While i started working on my art work i realized that this would be a tough project. I got the Artist James Rosenquist and while i worked on my artist essay i learned so much about him that i wouldn't have known before. James liked making collages and he loved bright vibrant colors and he also focused on the political and sexual theme in his paintings. So for my first  try with this project i made a political collage with cutout stripes of the white house with splattered paint in the back ground. i wanted to stick with the political theme so i added the donkey and elephant to represent each side. As i was working on this i realized that it sucked. I hated it so much , and i could tell that everyone around me was trying to be nice and tell me that it was good (when i know it wasn't). I soon gave up on that one and began to make a new painting. I threw away the idea of making a political painting and i thought of just doing something that's more like him. So i made a collage of all his art woks. I cut them up into little squares and clued them on my canvas. I thought it was somewhat creative because James Rosenquist was well known for his "Pop Culture" and collage Paintings. I then figured that i had to inquire paint so i just added on to some of his pictures to get the feeling that all the pictures came together and that they just over lapped each other. Over all i don't think that this project was hard i just think i have a hard time with being creative, so that's something i need to work on.
