Eileen Cooper - Barefoot Duet, 2011

As the title indicates "Barefoot Duet" it seems that he shadow is taking on their own human form. Just like Degas' Three Ballet Dancers I feel like movement and energy runs through this print as if it's been caught in the moment as her hair and limbs are placed in odds angles. I feel as though her shadow possibly represents the opposite side of her as a shadow is only a former shell of your actions, not emotions. 

Jasper Johns - 0 through 9, 1960

Lithograph

This print my Jasper Johns' is quite interesting. For me the more simple an art piece is, the more I feel I should be looking for a deeper meaning within. The title indicates that it is numbers 0-9 layered on top of each other but I wonder why he placed one on top of the other. Maybe he wanted to blend all the numbers together to show that some of the hours go to waste as we don't usually appreciate every hour of the day, we often loose track of time as hours can blend together if we don't keep track. I do quite like this print but I still feel as though I haven''t found a proper meaning within.

Degas - Three Ballet Dancers

While studying this piece I have came to love this print by Degas. I am amazed by the detail and techniques he has used to achieve the final outcome. I feel that because it's only got the two tones of black and white, it shows more emotion within which connects to the subject of the piece as ballet dancers are delicate and try and convey emotion from dancing freely. As it has a dark background I feel that it makes the ballet dancers glow and light up with energy as I can imagine them dancing as I look at the print. That's one of the reasons why I like looking at new art I have never seen because you can get an immediate reaction at first glance and with Degas' Three Ballet Dancers I have found liveliness and a source of power.
