Cara Ober
The War Goes On, 2009
Cara work exploits a range of opposites. It combine unrelated images and test to form layers of (mis)understanding, reinterpreting sentimental imagery through layers of drawings, paintings, and print making. Her materials include paint on canvas, collage on paper , gold leaf, and a variety of drawing media. This work is one that she has put together randomly, the different images on this peace of work seems to relate because the media she's used, e.g how she has printed them in black and white on a stained peachy colored back ground, to my point of view this has brought the art work together, but each image it self are really different from each other and it does not make scene to me, This about Cara work has interest me, The title of her work also makes me wonder if all the images can relate to each other some way through war history. But over all I think that her work is interesting the way she put the random images together but still creates the thought in the viewer mind that the art work relates through a story.

Post Cards drawings
unknown artists
I find these post cards really cool. I think its interesting how they came to be. Its interesting and creative for the artist to use the post cards in such way. I like how they sketch statues on the post cards every where they've traveled its like each post card has capture the moment or a sight, and the artist having putting all the post cards together, to my perspective creates a good travel story, its shows the viewers what the artist fascinates about which are statues and this I found interesting.
