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.

Module 2

Key Concepts: After watching the videos and doing the reading I learned that art is constantly evolving. The ideas of influential change and they tend to change the ideas in which people view art and understand it. Though this is not talked about in the videos or reading, music interest changes over time as does other forms of art such as, painting, poetry, and plays. The change on art aesthetics changed and continues to change over time. Another topic discussed is how our brains are able to distinguish things in art even though they are 2 dimensional. Our brains allows us to read into what we are seeing and develop an understanding of it. Lastly a key concept also talked about is the use of color to please the eye and allow it to look like it is 3 dimensional when we look at it. This allows us to look deeper into it, as talked about in the video, symmetry is also used to do this.  Morris Weitz "what I am arguing then, is that the very expansive, adventurous character of ar...

Module 9

Module 9. Question 1. Using my hand as the subject, I hand to look at it in deeper detail. Also keeping it steady and not moving it to much in order to keep the same view was difficult. Question 2. For this project I chose pencil. This was because I knew I was going to struggle while using my left hand and it would be easier to erase multiple times. Question 3. It felt awkward using my left hand. I felt like finding even the most comfortable way to hold it was very challenging during it. I did like how I drew lighter because i wasnt able to push down as much. Question 4. I think they are successful, each in their own ways. Using my left hand was difficult but I was still able to work towards the detail I was able to add with my right hand. Question 5. Yes, Though a struggle for me, I see where I could gain while making art if I give something a go with my left hand. Something unintentional could happen but lead me in a new direction and bring success.

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...
