A)
Rene Magritte
La Voix des airs (The Voice of Space)

Jim Isermann
#0488

To start, Rene's artwork left an impression on me because after reading the description next to it, it really made me think more about the unknowable and mystery in many different ways.
Jim Isermann's artwork "#0488" also impacted me because it opened my eyes to see how the canvas can be used in so many different ways.


B)
William Glackens
Jetties at Bellport

Andre Derain
Les arbres (The Trees)

I truly feel the same connection when looking at both William Glackens and Andre Derains artworks. This is because both of the artworks are of nature and the world around us and for me that was a huge part of my childhood. So when I saw them I felt the same connection and had the same memories come to mind.



C)
When viewing Edward Ruscha's "Dynamics of the Brain" I wanted to know more because I started to ask and think to myself "what about the dynamics of the brain" and for that reason I would be interested in finding out more.

In Jackson Pollock's  "Convergence" I first looked at it and thought it looks really cool but Im not understanding, but then once I took a step back and revisited it. I began to think of some many questions that I could ask. Many of them would be short but I wonder when he knew it was time to stop, or what his next move was while working on it exactly.

    I found it interesting that the majority of your pieces that you chose to write about are non-objective, apart from the two nature scenes. I don't often take the time to read the caption that accompanies a work of art. Your mention of reading the caption to understand more about a piece and learn from it makes me more interested in taking the time to read the writing accompanied with a work of art.

Project 1

Line: Hockey Sticks Value: Black and White Image Shape: Box with circles Form: Jar in Snow Space: Street Light Color: Bright Orange Shoes Texture: Cinnamon Buns Balance: The River Contrast: Kid in Color on Black and White background Movement: Hockey Slapshot Emphasis: Face Shot Pattern: Suite case Proportion: Toddler in proportion to everyday living Unity: The Puzzle During the early stages of doing this project I found it challenging to find and create pictures that were able to represent the words and definitions above. Once I began taking just a couple pictures, I couldn't put my phone down and looking at things in different ways. When doing this project I allowed myself to look at the things around me with an open and free mind and photograph a lot of the everyday things around me that represent the definitions. This project was one that truly allowed me to free my mind and look at everyday things I see in a more creative and expressing way. During this project m...

Self Potrait "Blue Smiles"

Title: Elizabeth Artist: SN Media: Oil Painting on canvas with mounted butterflies Size: 47 X 51 X 3 IN 1. I chose this artwork because I really liked the use of black and white against the colored background and blue butterflies. Title: "A little bit louder now..." Artist: Ivan Durrant Date: 1999 Size: 91.5 X 122 cm Media: Painting 1. I chose this for inspiration because I really liked the high saturation in the picture, and thought that I would be able to replicate that effect in my own portrait. Title: Portrait of Tam Purves Artist: John Brack Date: 1958 Size: 91.5 x 122 cm Media: paint 1. This artwork was the one that influenced me the most. When I saw this one I liked the simplicity in it, along with the small detail that brings the whole thing together. I was inspired to try and create something with simple shapes while also capturing the picture as a whole. Title: "Blue Smiles" Artist: Alex Militello Media: Digital/Comput...

Logo Project

1. I thought that creating a logo that was about me was actually a lot of fun. The first thing I did was list out a few things about myself so I could find somewhere to start. After looking and thinking for a bit an Owl seemed very fitting for what I was thinking of. 2. While creating the logo I thought of different ways that not only I describe myself but how other people would describe me as well. A few traits were, quiet, aware, bright, and calm. From here I took into account things I liked as well such as bright colors and animals. So, from there I came up with the idea to use an owl because they have big bright eyes and are quiet animals. I thought that those traits were similar to the ones I came up with for myself. Then I did thinking and started drawing until I found what I liked. Each sketch I made had a different element that I liked that I pulled together to make the final Logo 3. The most important thing I learned while creating the logo was that, each sketch may not lo...
