Beam me up Ed! • Ed Ruscha was inspired by the early Religious paintings that had a beam of light showing in the background • Ruscha worked as a commercial artist early in his career • He combined the idea of light, using his own pigments for paints, and graphic arts as the inspiration for his work • His work often involved using one word as the focus • Children created a picture focusing on one word and using graphic markers to create it
Printing from the Past • Artist Kathe Kollwitz was inspired by tragedies she witnessed from both World Wars I and II • First hand she saw mothers protecting children from the dangers of war • She used printing mostly in black and white as her medium • Children created a print of mother animals protecting their young from danger
