Assignemnt 5 Scribble Line: Artist Research, Planning, Finished work

Three Scribble Artists Research: 

1. Bill Adams : 
Adams is an American Postwar and Contemporary artist. He was born in 1957. Adams works consisted of ballpoint pen drawings, with black and blue pens and sometimes with colour. He has also worked with etching, paint, and sculpture. In many of his works, especially the ballpoint pen drawings, Adams, seems to depict living things from animals to people. With his ballpoint pen drawings, he seems to use scribbles to help create the drawings. The scribbles he uses are very visible and he uses those scribbles to not only create a unique detail, though a unique gradation to the drawings. 

2. Sol LeWitt (1928-2007): 
LeWitt was an American artist and he was linked to various art movements, such as conceptualism and minimalism. His drawings begin with shapes, marks and scribbles, which seems to create a sense of depth and integrity to the wall and to the drawings. LeWitt's scribble wall drawings is a representation of what LeWitt calls "Potentially Performance." Which to me means that LeWitt expressed an effect of physical and mental interaction with the drawings, as he stands and scribbles. Many of his scribble drawings are shapes that are consisted of different scribbles and scribble gradations. With each drawing, LeWitt is very precise with the scribbles and marks, which is very noticeable in his drawings. 

3. Marlene McCarty: 
McCary is a New York-based visual artist, who has a multidisciplinary practice. She was a member of the AIDs activist collective Gran Fury and she co-founded the trans-disciplinary design studio Bureau. Since the 1980s, McCarty has worked with various media, such as graphite, ballpoint pen, and highlighter. McCarty is also a Feminist artist because in many of her works, she portrays issues of sexual and social parricide and infanticide.
