Evan Holloway
The low tech approach Evan takes is an interesting art strategy. The sharp barbed wire along with bizarre baby dolls entwined moves humor in his work. With this casual aesthetic vibe shows skepticism and an ironic, irrelevant attitude proving not to take himself too seriously.

Dyak Suspension Bridge, Sarawak
This work is considered Representational due to its a specific portrayal of a recognizable setting. Its easy to capture this painting as a beautiful and serene setting of water, lush foliage sharing the world with man. A bridge is visible in the distance along with a man crossing as well as a few canoe boats floating along the water. This is a perfect example of representational art.
ABSTRACTION
Water Lilies Claude Monet
The classic beauty of Monet's lily paintings are an example of abstraction. This peaceful setting with bright lively brush strokes are able to capture the outdoors and light reflections perfectly. What makes this painting in the category of abstraction is due to the painting does not look realistic at a distance; however, in close quarters you can understand what the painting is about and Monet's execution.

NON-REPRESENTATIONAL
Artichoke, Halved
Edward Henry Weston
The black and white, up close representation of the artichoke halved distorts the image in a way that it would be difficult to point out what the image in the photograph is. An artichoke is recognizable; however, due to the authors view without direction its not likely to depict.

ICON
The Last Supper
Leonardo da Vinci
Possibly one of the most recognizable Christian paintings in religious history, Leonardo depict his version of Christ's last supper with his disciples. This painting represents icon art because its a image that is repeated and well known by many cultures that represents historical events, or concepts.

Rubens, Peter, Paul,Sir,
Constantine Destroying the Idols det. Constantine
Iconoclasm is purposefully defacing religious icons or monuments for political or religious motives. This painting is an example because it shows Constantine destroying a temple that Hadrian built for Venus in hopes of removing any inkling of pagan beliefs throughout Palestine. In doing so he also declared Christianism as the only official religion of the Roman Empire. This painting is the perfect representation of iconoclasm including a man holding a large cross that marks Christianity.
