Norman Rockwell   6.Emily Winfield Martin As I continue this journey through art school, my appreciation for certain types of art has become more prominent. I'm an illustrator at heart. I love the flatness of Mary Blair's style, and the beautful colors on the cheeks of children at play of Eleanor Campbell and Norman Rockwell's illustrations. My favorite modern take it Kelly Murray and Emily Winfield Martin's vintage styles.

Daniel and I are going to London in March! I am going with an Art Appreciation class, and he will be going with a World Literature class, but we will be traveling as one large group. We are so very excited! To add to our excitement, Miranda made this comic for me. And, I think it is simply hilarious! Ha!
