To fill the research aspect of these units we had to pick 5 artists of our choice and write up a case study for each artist. The aim was to pick some artists which I could relate to and explain why I like their work or their style.

The first artist I looked at was Andy Warhol. I chose him because I was already familiar with his work and his work was also a large part of the 1960 – 1970s. I thought this research could help me to add some information to my timeline. One thing I appreciate about his work is how unique it was for the time and how influential it was for at during this decade.

The next artist I looked at was Saul Bass. The thing that drew me to his work was the pieces for famous movies such as The Shining. He also uses a very similar colour style to my employers at Totally Wicked. I could relate to his work and also draw inspiration from it for my pieces at work.

The third artist I looked at was Georgia O’Keeffe. I looked at her work because we had already discussed and looked at some of her work in class. I appreciate her style and the detail in some of her pieces. I have always been attracted to realistic pieces because of the difficulty to create them.

The fourth artist I looked at was Virgil Abloh. I picked this artist because I was already familiar with his work because of my interests in music and the NBA. He has created some album covers for some of my favourite artists. He has also created some shoes which are very popular around the NBA culture and I like the style of his shoes and brand.

The last artist I looked at was L.S. Lowry. I chose Lowry because he was the first artist I looked at when I was in high school and I always liked his style. This is because there is so much detail in his work and there is always things happening in the background of his work. His work always inspired me and I tried to create pieces in a similar style when I was younger.

To finalise this I create a bibliography and used Harvard referencing to give some sources of where I found some of my research. For example: books and website.
