Ryan McGinness

Ryan McGinness is an American artist working in Manhattan. "Known for his original extensive vocabulary of graphic drawings which use the visual language of public signage, corporate logos, and contemporary iconography, McGinness creates paintings, sculptures, and environments."

Here is an artist worksheet I created based off his works. He uses very bright colors that I find eye catching!


How many shapes/ objects can you find here? What are they?

What is negative space? How does the artist create negative space?

What symbols are used here?                    What do you think they represent?        

If you were to represent yourself through symbols, what would you choose?


What makes this an engaging installation?



What is repetition?                                        How does repetition enhance this installation?
