Different Color/Same Color

Faith Ringgold

Color is used in this quilt to emphasize the mood of the jazz music. Powerful strokes blue swirls on a background of red creates an exciting feeling. Blue is also used to outline the musicians in the piece. This choice of color demonstrates the vivacity of the people.

Money as Art

I like this picture of Orchids made with money because the artist transformed ordinary money into beautiful, realistic flowers. Orchids also happen to be my favorite flower.

Sound as Art

Synesthesia

 

"Synesthesia for the Times ", 67x47 ", 2010, acrylic, tempora, water-based pigments on canvas 

Money as Art

The currency below is used in the Republic of Nepal. I like Nepal's use of animals and natural settings to decorate their currency. Each bill is a different shade or color which makes it easy to determine which bill is which.
