Module 10 Video review

1. The reason I chose to watch "The Impact of Cubism" and "Dada and Surrealism" is because both the titles had caught my attention and I wanted to learn more as to what they were describing with the titles.
2. In the video "Dada and Surrealism" I learned that Dada was a form of artwork that was very free. One of the first "dada" artists was Schwitters. Schwitters did make art before he started making this new type of artwork, but it wasn't until then that he really became known.
In the video "The Impact of Cubism" I learned that Picasso was one of the famous artists that really took to this new style and helped it spread amongst society. I also learned how the use of shapes can portray different ideas in our minds.

3. The video "Dada and Surrealism" connects to the book because the book describes "dada" as a "yes" to life, creativity and silliness and spontaneousness. The video talks about the meaning of the word in similar contexts and uses artworks by people such as Juan Miro to show the creativity in this style.
The video "The impact of cubism" relates to the reading because they both mention Picasso's artwork and the role he had in the growing use of cubism in art.

4. I liked both of the videos I watched, even though in some spots they were harder to follow. Both of the videos made connections that were related to the reading with significant artists names which really helped show how much the did in their time.

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...
