I make a lot of changes. I don’t know where I’m going; I don’t have a final image in my head, but rather a broad idea, and a feeling I’m after, a kind of intensity - Anne Harris 

i found anne harris's work to be the most appealing out of the artists selected. i think of a very eery dark place when i see her self portrait as well as her other works all very similar. 

i tend to gravitate towards dark (in content and style) paintings or drawings. anything that has no real atmosphere but at the same time allows the viewer to create it themselves and isnt always the brightest of places. her very limited use of line if you could even call it that really help to add an all around atmospheric feel of ethereal to all of her portraits and paintings which for me pushes the eeriness.

i chose the quote "drawing interconnects us with our ancestors in a larger sense: it is there in all traces of human activity and presence..." this really struck me because it got me thinking and connecting to the lessons in art history. throughout every time period humans have always made art work or drawings. in the neolithic era it was simply either a way of communicating or worshiping and as humans evolved so did their art and so on and so forth. each older generation  having a great influence on the next generation and each new generation discovering and advancing past the previous. this cycle interests me greatly. 

i feel that these specific pieces from my favorite artist (easo andrews) represent good drawing. and just like our previous generation (easo) i hope to learn from them and discover a style of my own to pass on as well.
