About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Taylor Hartwig and this is my blog for Art141abcd at El Camino College. First a little background information; I'm 20 years old, I live with family in Manhattan Beach, and I like long walks on the beach, lol. Some goals for the class would mostly be to gain some understanding of the Photoshop program. I'm currently a Photography major at Elco and this, I feel, is a necessary part of what photography is today. However as of right now I have very little knowledge of the program. After I'm finished with school at Elco I plan on transferring up north to either San Fran State or San Jose State. After school I'm not quite sure where I'll go with my photography, but where ever I decide I'm sure I will be content with it as long as their is a camera in hand. Thanks for Reading, expect more soon.

Artist A Day

So for class we are to choose an artist, that we liked, from the Artistaday.com website. So I browsed for a bit and found sculptor Edouard Martinet. Searching the Artistaday.com website I wasn't sure what I would find, but when I saw the thumbnail of his mechanical looking fish I was instantly hooked. There's just an amazing amounft of detail put into his work that I wouldn't expect becuase of the materials that he uses which consists mostly of scrap metal. Looking at his sculptures I can only wonder where the parts came from. Enjoy the photo below, and a link to his Artistaday.com page.
