Module 10


The first mask I used for inspiration was chosen because I
liked how the use artist used repetition with the color of the circles.
I also like how the eyebrows contrast the base color of the mask and the curve
of them brought your eyes down the middle of the mask.

The second mask I chose was chosen because when looking at it I liked
the use of line in the beard. The maker of this mask also puts emphasis on the eyebrows and the nose. I looked to take emphasis and bring it to my mask while creating it as well.

The third mask I chose was the one that my inspiration grew the most while looking at. The mask has a lot of variety and the use of cool and warm colors contrasted which was very appealing to look at. The animal on top of the mask
really stood out to me to me as well. Also the lines down the middle of the mask brought my
eyes up and down the mask in an easy way. 



















In my mask I tried the use the contrast of warm and cold colors to make it appealing to look at. Also I used the purple shapes in order to bring your eyes from the sides of the mask from the bottom to the top and into the middle. The warm colors were based off of the sun I was inspired to use from the one mask I chose for inspiration. I also tried to incorporate line and pattern by repeating the stripes used on the horns of my mask.

Creating a mask was very fun, but also difficult. I was trying to incorporate different elements and principles which was kind of difficult. I enjoyed looking through the masks that were in the links of the module in order to find inspiration. I drew a couple things from each mask but the sun in the third mask i chose was where a lot of it had come from.

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...
