The Wonderful World of Charley Harper

Hey guys! My name is Katy Hampton and I would love to share my favorite artist with you! You may have seen some of his work all around the city, he is very famous in Cincinnati because from his career in college to the day he passed, he lived right here in the city! His name is Charley Harper. He studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. He is one of my favorites due to the fact that his art is very symmetrical and straight forward, which may be boring to some. One of his most known art works is his red cardinal.

my favorite piece


My dad along with his fiancé Anna love harpers work! so much that my dad gave me a project one day to paint one of Harpers works on our garage doors! Here is what we based our project on...




It took us a day and a half to get this design on our small garage doors. Here are a few photos of the doors being put together ...

Charley is a very inspiring artist! I hope to one day be as inspiring as him! here is a website about him if you want to know more : https://charleyharperartstudio.com/

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Hello everyone! today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite Instagram artists, Trevor Henderson! The reason why I like Trevor Henderson's art is that I really like how disturbing and creepy is art is. Here are a few examples of some of his art.
