Faith Ringgold - Tumblr Posts
I swear this is going to just turn into a blog about my ap art history class lmfao, but we went from unit one (global pre-history) to unit 10 (global contemporary) and its really intresting how much of a persons life and experiences translate into their art prices when talking about contemporary art, which is a big jump from unit one where everything but the art piece itself was a big unknown
Anyway I used to not like contemporary art until I took art history and got to understand a lot about it and about famous artists within it, like basquiat and faith ringgold, who I never heard of before this class, and how their life experiences shape their artworks to the point that after learning about them you can see their very soul within their work
Anyway I love art history and my art history class
