Norman Rockwell

Artist Name: Norman Rockwell
I found this artist in http://www.nrm.org/about-2/about-norman-rockwell/
Subject Matter: He used vivid color and detail to depict usually comical situations within everyday life.
Elements emphasized: color, detail, and texture.
Principles of Design: Symmetry, ratio, and color.
Mood/Feeling: His illustrations are usually silly and sometimes depict a somewhat serious message.
About?: The humor in his art work is used to shed humor on everyday situations that might usually be seen as boring.
I choose to share his artwork because the audience can very closely relate to what he depicts in his paintings. It also gives the audience a glance at the past and what the norm was back then.
