Art by Hannah

1. In the West Coast Pop Art video, I learned that there are many conflicting views on lowbrow art. Also, many of the famous artists had to work alone and everything was individualized on how they got noticed. In Tate Modern I learned that modern art is very different now and makes the viewer think in a more deeper and detailed way. In the Philippe de Montebello video, I learned about the different cultural artwork within the museum. There was always a need for quality in the artwork as well. 2. Yes these videos relate to the project because it shows different types of artwork being shown. The various artwork being shown gives me a sense of what direction I would like to go in and how to properly make my slideshow. 3. I personally thought these videos weren't very informational. I did learn new things but a lot of it was just showing different works in museums and I didn't feel that helped me on my knowledge of art. The only one that helped me add depth in thinking about my...

I chose 'Art of the 50's and 60's' and 'Uncertainty: Modernity and Art' because I love everything about the 50 and 60's era and am hoping the modernity video is about how art has expanded. 2. In 'Art of the 50's and 60's' I learned that many comic book characters are put together in the same way and viewed the same way. Also, I learned how to dissect a photo to better understand how a portrait was put together in the way that it was. In 'Modernity and Art' I learned that modern art is very hard to interpret and many people wish it wasn't. I realized that there is a lot of emotion behind the random strokes in a painting and nothing is meaningless. I always asked myself why I couldn't be famous for splatter painting on a canvas but I now see there is a lot of heavy detail behind the randomness of artwork. 3. These videos relate to the text because they both explain the many fine details that make or break the artwork and the...

  Artist: Jonathon Rogers Title: New Beginning from the Visions of Faith series, 2006 Media: Graphite on paper 1. The way the clouds are formed with graphite and the perfection of the hand and its creases amazes me. 2. I see a hand holding up a small child toward the sun within the clouds. 3. The principles and elements of this artwork has form and value within it. 4. I'm sure there is a metaphor behind this painting but I cannot think of it, it definitely has a strong meaning behind it. 5. I think the artist was trying to show life being given by God. Artist: Jonathon Rogers Title: Group Self-Portrait #3 from the Group Self Portraits series, 2003 Media: Oil on canvas 1. There is a lot of detail within this piece. The foreground/background effect is strongly showed and the color hues that change are very emphasized. Especially since some of the 'people' are colored and then there is an emphasis on the black figures above. 2. I see many ...

1. I selected 'Matisse and Picasso' because I wanted to learn more about the famous artists that they are. I never knew much about them and was eager to find out. I also chose 'Expressionism' because it seemed interesting and was hoping it would teach me how artists chose the expressions on their artwork and what they meant behind them. 2. In 'Matisse and Picasso' I learned that Matisse and Picasso were both very different. I learned that Picasso added a lot to his works. He would come back everyday and restart on his painting, adding something new every time. In 'Expressionism', I learned that artists emphasized emotion to tell a story in their artworks. There were sad emotions expressed to signify death and to give details to the audience when looking at the artwork. 3. The videos relate to the reading in the text because they both give us reasons and ways that artists connect with their audience. 4. My opinion of these films were mixed throughou...

I selected these 3 pictures for inspiration because I am a big fan of masquerade masks. I liked the designs of them and colors. They are all different shapes and sizes and some have more elements and lines and color than others. These were my 3 sketches of masks that I was going to use. I wanted to use tinfoil as my final mask and I liked how the way the lines formed to my face against the tinfoil. This is my finished mask. There is a lot of form added into my mask as the principle. This is a 3D mask and to me it was very hard to cut tinfoil but I loved how it looked with the different lines and crinkles. This project was hard because I didn't know how to make a 3D mask out of paper, but I ended up liking the tinfoil better. I didn't want to add color or more to this piece because I like the plain modern look. I was going to add paint and make a design but I ended up liking it the way it was.
