Julian Beever

This artist goes along with some of the most recent work we have viewed in class with consideration that he is a street artist. Julian Beever's main art form is working with chalk drawings on sidewalks and roads in cities. Even though this is a fine art, Julian also has to consider several forms of photography first. Point of view, perspective, and the camera lens he uses all plays a role in how his drawings are photographed. If the point of view and perspective aren't correct, his drawings would look out of proportion and warped. Photography is very important to his style of art because it preserves his work. If it wasn't for photography his art would be smothered by people walking over it in the cities or the rain would wash it away. Personally, this type of art is very amazing to me.

These next two images show how much he stretches his artwork to make the perspective to match up when he photographs his work. Quite amazing!
