==== My artist’s name is Jim Dine and he was born June 16, 1935- still living. He was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and he is an artist of Pop Art it started in 1960’s. He painted, drew, and sculpted. He used watercolors, charcoal, enamel, pastels, pencil, and chalk. He did lots of his art with hearts and bright colors and his style is Pop Art. Pop Art is a type of art that is a part of everyday images. Examples are advertisement, packaging store items, photographs, and comic strips. Pop Art is a part of modern culture. His style points out craftsmanship while highlighting the ultimate importance of emotional content. His images were mostly of robes, hearts, and tools. ==== ==== Other artists include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Dowd, and Joe Goode. They helped influence Jim’s artistic ability and they all started a movement. Which changed modern art forever. He was a supporter of the Neo-Dada and Pop Art and he was finally known in 1959.During the 1960’s he created a lot of artwork using items and images of pop-culture. He was best knowing for his art piece “The Study For This Sovereign Life”. “The Study For This Sovereign Life,” has a blue background and a rope divides it into two pieces. On the left is a skull, and on the right is a heart. ==== ==== Interesting information about Jim is he went to London England to show his work and twenty pieces of his art was seized because it was found to be offensive. One of his art pieces, which he named “Hair”, gave the name to the rock musical “Hair”. ====

I used pencil and colored in with oil pastels. I first drew it in my sketchbook and colored it in before I drew it on the big piece of paper. ==== ==== I got my ideas from Jim Dine because I like his artwork. I liked his art piece “Hearts” and I redid it in my own ways. The message I was trying to get across is love is all kinds of colors. I hope people will understand the same message as I do. The mood would be happy or in love. I enjoyed drawing this because I like drawing hearts and looking at them in different colors. I think it’s a successful piece of art because it makes me feel happy by looking at it and I hope it make other people happy too. ====
