This object interests me because it is very unique. For instance, the tail of the unicorn is tied into a bow which is so cute. He also has a heart tattooed on him with what appears to be the name of the person he is in love with. The unicorn is supposed to be in love and a unicorn can not breathe different color fire. So i can conclude the the artists is trying to say that love can make you do crazy things. This is why I am interested in this finding.

I chose the candy Pop Rocks as my nostalgia object because it brings back a lot of good memories for me when I was younger. For instance, when i was younger every time I went to the store I wanted my mom to buy me this candy.  I would always want more than one pack too. Also, I can remember when I got in trouble for eating it during church. When it was very quiet all you could hear was the popping of the candy. Lastly, this is an nostalgia object for me because When I think back on how good the candy used to be and how much fun I used to have with it it makes me want to go out and buy some right now.

John Baldessari can be considered to be a postmodern artist due to the strategies he uses when constructing his art work. For example, he uses a lot of recontextualization. He forces people to think about that subject of his artwork as he uses bright colors to block out certain areas in his paintings. Also, his work is not considered a cliche because he does not use the same pictures over and over again. His work is some what of a surprise. He surprises people because you do not expect to see what could be key parts of the image blocked out. This is why John Baldessari can be considered a postmodern artist.
