Rachel and I did our midterm project on Psychedelic Poster Art. We focused on three of the most popular artists of the 1960's—Rick Griffin, Victor Moscoso, and Wes Wilson—and created a poster for each, representing the style and characteristics that were generally seen in their work. We also provided information on the psychedelic art movement as a whole, including its origins and the characteristics that defined the art.
