William Kentridge




                                                          Zeno 4am (9prints on sheet)

Out of the artist watched in the Art 21 series I related more to William Kentridge because of the fact that he likes to do more loose style drawings for his animation. None of his work seems to be really perfect which I think makes it look more raw. He gives his animation a feeling that  makes it seem more human than if he were to use a more cleaner approach. Not to mention I like the effect that charcoal leaves! Even before in his non-animated work the way he uses charcoal makes his drawings look like their moving by the way he smears it around. Even though I still don't understand the meanings of some of his films you still want to watch them. It might be because their more on the political side or maybe that's what was intended but either way the no need to use color and the loose style makes his work much more appealing to me than any of the artists learned about last week.
