Module 12

1. First I selected the video "Andy Warhol: Images of an Image". I chose this video because I have seen his artwork, and learned a few things about him in many different classes. I find it enjoyable to look at his artwork and learn about it, as well as learning about him. The second video I chose was "The Art of Henry Moore". I decided to watch this video because while reading the description I found it to be interesting and I wanted to learn more about him.
2. In the Andy Warhol video the key concepts discussed were silk screening. Silk screening was a huge part of Warhol's artwork and allowed him to create much of the artwork he did. Another concept talked about was repetition. Warhol repeated the silk screen printing many times in many different pieces, and in each one it creates a different effect. 
In the video about Tony Moore they talked a lot of how he used the mother and child in his artwork and how it was in all the different pieces he made. Also the video talked about how Tony was not willing to give a reason for some of his artwork because artists do experimenting to find new things.
3. The videos relate to the readings in the text in many ways. The text talks about the transition between modern and postmodern art. Both of the videos discussed how each of these artists played a role they played to lead art to where it is.
4. I liked both of the videos I had chosen and was very happy that I read the description so closely on the Tony Moore video because he had some very interesting points about the artwork and artist.

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...
