Homage to Jim Dine... F block beginning drawing

Drawing of household object: inspired by artist Jim Dine

Jim Dine is considered one of the figureheads of the pop-art movement (exhibited along with Andy Warhol who is probably the most famous contemporary). Much of his work is the simple re-creation of "mundane" everyday objects in interesting and dynamic ways.




I want you to look at artist Shelley Davies blog about artist Jim Dine...
Notice how some of his drawings are "unfinished"
