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.

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...
