Module 8 Video Review

1. I choose the measure of all things video because in the first video I  found the Human figure to be widely used in the art world so I wanted to loo more into that.

2.In the video more human than human a key concept I have learned is that when sculptures of the human body is created some features are brought out while others are ignored. So usually sculptures of the body are in some ways unrealistic.
In the measure of all things video Greeks are obsessed with the body, they are widely known for expressing emotion throughout their sculptures.

3. The text talks about the inspiration made behind creating sculptures and how they became popular like the videos.

4. I found the videos to be very informative on how the human body is one of the biggest influences on art,and how that influence changes our perspective of art.

Module 6

1. A. Some key concepts that I learned from the eyes of the sculpture video is that sculptures have 3 phases " A sculpture comes alive in clay, dies in plaster and is reborn in marble." I never knew of how big of a team it takes to successfully create a sculpture.
B. Some key concepts I've learned in the glass and ceramics video is that heat at a certain temperature makes glass malleable without breaking. I've also learned that ceramics can be used for hip prosthesis in the medical world.

2. The text explains the methods he video which included molding, casting, and carving. In chapter 12 a section speaks on glass and how unlike clay glass never changes chemically as it moves from a soft workable state to a hard rigid one.

3. I was interested in both of the videos I found them both to give me an insight look on how sculptures and ceramics are created and the different processes need to turn them into forms of art.

Art Galley Visit

Tara Donovan untitled (Mylar) 2007


James Rosenquist Nomad 1963


Emst Barlach Der Racher (The avenger)1914


Marc Chagall Le Vie paysame ( Peasant life 1925)


Joan Miro Carnaval d Arlequin (Harlequins carnival)


Jacob Lawrence Seams belt 1945

A) Looking at Tara Donavans art structure from all angles was cool to me. Using her techniques to form a bubbles structure that looked like it was coming from the ground was impressive. That illusion showed her artist ability. I also found Jamaes Rosenquist painting quit interesting as it almost reminded me of a collage the way he put in different pictures to form one piece of art.

B) I felt a connection with Emst Barlachs sculpture that seemed to show someone pulling their own weight but doing that seems to be ripping them apart. I found this very relatable  and creative of Emst to think something like this out. I also felt a connection with Mark Chagall painting it looks like someone painting whats in their imagination. It made me think of how my own painting would look if I was to create something like his.

C) I would like to know more about Joan Miro because we share some of he same interest which is batman. I like her painting of Harley quins carnival there are plenty of different aspects and techniques I could see throughout the painting. Another person I would like to know more about is Jacob Lawrence I would like to know what was his inspiration behind what he painted.

Logo

1. While creating my logo I thought of what was important to me and that is creating music. My producer name is Slick Beats so i thought of incorporating that in my logo .

2. While thinking of the design I wanted to make for my logo I thought of something simple but legible that someone can read easily.

3.The most important thing I learned while creating my logo is how adding little more details can make something pop out.

4. From the video I learned how to create something that expresses yourself as a person. Taking something you do and express it through drawing.
