Hamilton, Weems, and Walker

To start off Ann Hamilton had some different pieces. Her artwork was creations of random objects using different materials. It all seemed really weird to me. She made some extensive devices such as the human carriage which doesn't have any real purpose but to catch the human eye for a few minutes. Isn't that what art is supposed to do? Intrigue someone to want to see what the artist had created.
The next artist I reviewed was Carrie Weems. She was a photographer mainly who liked to focus on the issue of racism and an attempt with her to aid in the progression of eliminating racism. Her first work that she created was called family pictures and stories. This work told stories about her own family and she had also mentioned that it was about black families moving up north. Most of her later works also included the common theme of racism.
The final artist that I reviewed was Kara Walker. She had wanted to be an artist ever since she was a little girl followed her dream to where she is now. She is most famous for her room sized black paper silhouettes. Each one of her silhouettes tells a different story from many different topics; things like racism or history. She also tended to attacked the topics directly with very grotesque pictures and not being afraid to put it how it really is.
After viewing all of these three artist's work I must admit that my opinion has not changed at all about how I feel about art. It can be nice to look at or decorate your home but I fail to see the importance of it and why it must be analyzed. This could very well just be the engineer in me, but I am not a fan of this type of art.
