• Original Remake
  What is the content? Who created it and why? The content is basically from when Rockwell lived in Arlington, Vermont and the WWII years when there were a lot of people that wanted tattoos and it started trending. The sailor in this painting had pretty much been in ports and posed for Rockwell for this picture. I think the reason for this picture is that Rockwell thought tattoos give us a reminder of our feelings at that certain time in our lives and maybe the feelings that we had at one time, might change. But, the tattoo will be there forever to remind us. http://www.best-norman-rockwell-art.com/1944-tattoo-artist.html
• When was the work created? What is the context of the work? This work was created in March of 1944. In this picture, to certain people it could mean many different things but I think what it was trying to show was that Rockwell was a funny guy and that his friends wanted to pose for him in a different way. http://www.art.com/products/p9388040736-sa-i5446832/norman-rockwell-tattoo-artist-march-4-1944.htm?ac=true
• What are 2 types of analysis (other than formal) which can be used to view the work? You must explain (use) each of these types of analysis to explain your work in addition to merely listing them!  We could use a contextual analysis of the painting because there are many objects in this picture that help us better understand the time frame and the meaning of what is going on behind the painting. Such as, the the background wall in this picture shows us some tattoos that actually exist and that people have the option of getting those while going into a tattoo shop. The colors in this picture also seem to me like it was in older times. It also seems to me like the tattoos that the sailor has on his arm are getting marked out by the tattoo artist and it looks like maybe ex wives or ex girlfriends names. I could also use stylistic analysis because of what kind of style this picture is and how distinctive this picture is to other pictures. It is what makes this artists’ style so different compared to other artists’ styles.
• I found this assignment super hard because none of my family members wanted to help me out and be involved in this picture so I had to come up with a super quick and easy way to do this and I am a terrible artist so therefore,…. this will not be my best work. This was definitely embarrassing actually because I cannot draw and I could NOT for the life of me, think of another way to insert a picture that looked like the original one.

I took this picture thinking pretty quickly so I did not get to grab some items that I would grab in a house fire.

Not pictured: Old photo albums of family and friends, old jewelry passed down from generation to generation, and money that I have been saving up for a long long time.

I chose my dog, because of course…. he’s my dog and I do not know what I would do if I did not have him. He is what makes me laugh on my sad days and cuddles with me when my boyfriend doesn’t. I love him and he would probably be one of the first things I would grab if a house fire were to happen. My dog’s name is Trigger and he means the world to me!

I chose my macbook because it has a lot of pictures and things that are very memorable to me that I would really be hurt if I did not have it. I love my computer and all of the pictures, videos and memories that it holds.

I chose my shoes, because first of all, I am a shoe fanatic. I am obsessed with shoes in the first place and all of the money that I make, usually goes to shoes. I would actually probably grab more if I could. But I would hate to be without a new pair of shoes so I feel as if that is something that I can NOT do without.

I grabbed my purse because it has my money and cards and lip glosses and all of the other materialistic type things that make me happy so I wouldn’t want to leave all of that behind. I feel like my purse is my best friend. I take it EVERYWHERE. I cannot do without it.

I chose some pieces of jewelry because very special people gave me these pieces and I would be devastated if something happened to them. I hold them very close to my heart so having this jewelry reminds me of the people who gave it to me.

I chose my camera because I love taking pictures and pictures make memories. I am just beginning to get into photography more and I really love how pictures can make me so happy. They hold so many things and you can see it all in a picture.

I chose my phone, because who wouldn’t? I would need my contact list… because I can’t remember everyone’s phone numbers so I think having my phone would help me with that.

I hope that when someone looks at my picture, they think the same thing as me. I am super sentimental but the things that aren’t pictured would let you know that I really am. I hold on to my memories because even if the people aren’t physically here, I have memories of them that will stay with me forever and thats something I can always cherish. I love everything in this picture and all of it means so much to me. It doesn’t look like a lot, but if I didn’t have time to grab more, this is all I would grab. I love life and I live it to the fullest so hopefully, all of my items would let you know that about me.
