Robin Poteet

     Watercolorist Robin Poteet was a freelance advertising designer for the home furnishing industry before turning her focus to full-time painting and art instruction. She teaches watercolor classes in Roanoke, as well as workshops and annual trips abroad. Poteet was one of the ten artists chosen as "Ones to Watch" by WATERCOLOR ARTIST in their December 2010 issue. 


"I can open any page from my travel books and instantly recall the mood, temperature and flavor of the scene --- something I'm just not able to do with photos."

     In my opinion , Poteet's sketchbooks are very nice and interesting to look at as they are all colorful and they show the mood in the places. It definitely took a lot of time and efforts to train herself to have such amazing watercolor techniques. But as she said, she thinks of sketching as an "anything goes" process. It's sometimes her way if expressing a thought in a visual way. There is no finished product to fret over, and that provides her a lot of freedom in her sketchbooks.

Just like Dimitra Milan, Ozabu's passion for arts was big influence by her parents. However, as a self-taught artist, Ozabu did not use any reference books nor does any research on what the other artists use to draw and such. Instead, Ozabu would see a piece in person and analyze it, teaching herself the technique and trying out different tools until she understands how the piece was created.      I have realized that Ozabu often draws gory drawings, some of them even reminded me of "death" even though her drawings are very beautiful. According to the interview, Ozabu's inspirations often come from her feelings and experiences, and she experienced death of someone important in her life. Therefore, her drawings included some funeral elements as they are gre...

Your Name (君の名は / Kimi no Na wa): trailer

Assignment 1      Our assignment 1 is to watch a movie, do research on it and write about it, then based on the art movements and the story of the movie, create another story thus produce the final video on YouTube. I chose to write Kimi No Na Wa as it was a fantastic Japanese movie that managed to be a hit. Kimi No Na Wa, is a mix of emotions, a fantasy romance film with interesting contents that keep the movie to be refreshing all the way to the end. This movie also contained plot twist that keeps the audience wondering to get the right answer.      Kimi No Na Wa has included few art movements such as post-modernism and dadaism, Post-modernism is a broad movement that involves 20th century like philosophy, architecture, art, and the rest, which is very obvious in this movie. Besides, dadaism is an art movement that shows avant-garde. It could mean plot twist, disagreement between the characters like the heroine(Mistsuha) and her father. Dadaism ...
