Portrait of myself

Christina Queen of Sweden 1644-1654 by David Beck 1650

 Christina 1626-1689 Daughter of King Gustaves

Miniature portrait of Charles X King of Sweden 1655-1660 by Alexander Cooper 

Girl with pearl earrings by Verneer 36 painting in 18 Museums in 7 Countries 

1. I selected these pieces because they was unique. The color of her hair stood out to me in the Girl with the pearl earrings. I liked the size of the Miniature portrait of Charles X King of Sweden. I just was a little intrigued by the facial expression of Christina Queen of Sweden.

2. I choose pencil and coloring pencils because I'm a beginner to the art field.

.3. The hardest part for me was making a nose and trying to find a shade for my skin tone.
4. This piece means to me that I did a lot better than I thought I would.
5. I applied lines, shapes, value and pattern.
6.yes I enjoyed having a little free time to sketch and capture the essence of Me!!
7. I'm satisfied with my work it turns out a lot better than what I expected

Art Curation.

I enjoyed doing this project. I had a chance to you select art that spoke to me.  I was able to be  moved or inspired by the art work, sculptors, statues and currency . I picked peace cause this is something that I'm struggling to find myself. I wanted to look at the different aspects and messages conveyed when these artist choose these pieces that inspired them by the word peace. I also found what is peace for one person is not peace to another. I'm still learning about Art but its a great hands- on way to become more knowledge-able about different cultures and styles. I had a chance to critic the art and look at how the artist used certain elements of art to create their art. I chose things that reminded me of some form of  peace. The  Ancient Peace Drawing gives me the feeling like im meditating. I feel that it helped me concentrate on one thing and not let my thoughts  wonder. the landmark at MLK park also inspired me. It showed me that how coming together can bring peace to individuals who struggle daily due to unfair living conditions and circumstances . I also liked the piece by Youri Chasov the peace abstract. I picked that picture because I feel like the pattern of colors represents the body when you are at a happy place and feel like the colors are moving with you. I picked believe as my title because we don't have peace because we don't believe it's obtainable, but it can be without us even knowing. I picked these pieces because the artist believed in their work and the process that needs to be followed to obtain the final draft.  

reflections

Week 16 reflections

1.    I read my very first post on Blogger

2.    I just thought it was going to teach me about paintings, but it taught me about the evolution of Art and the different ways artist express their- self. My expectations were to low and I learned so much from this class, Art is a form of expression. It can be defined as visual, audio, music, literature and dance. Artist using these techniques to convey a message. The message can be formal or informal. Art is a way to express your feeling and skills. It can tell a story. So much goes into art and what is Art?

3.     I don’t have a favorite Artist yet, but I do enjoy learning about the different styles of painting. I like learning the history behind sculptors and the steps it takes to complete a master piece.

4.    This is my first on-lone course and I think I did great. I’m learning that different Teacher’s post assignments and content in different places. I know now that I must look in different places for assignments, study guides and rubrics. I signed up for another on-lone course next semester. My answer is a little different, because I have a lot my knowledge about art, but my attitude is the same. I have to try my best and give it all I got.

art experience

I enjoyed going to the art gallery and looking at the different exhibits . It was fun to see how the different artist used different techniques to express their self .

Art gallery visit #2

(step #1)The exhibition that I seen was called We the people New Art from the collection
The theme was looking at each individual artist and the things and environment that shapes them. A lot of the objects used was from the artist neighborhood that was collected and used in an different content in which it was made.

(step #2) The type of lighting that was used was a soft low light. The walls was all white and the space was bare feeling. It was many rooms housed inside little rooms. The movement of the viewers was the same as mine many had notebooks and phones out taking pictures and learning different information about the art work

The art was organized on the walls neatly, it was sculptures in the middle of a few of the rooms. A lot of the art was different it represented things in their lives that stuck out to them and help mold them in both positive and negative ways. Some of the pieces was 3-D and was able to make noises and give different illusions of the tone of the setting while the was being designed. All artwork was labeled and some was framed and other's was made on material that constructed it's own frame. The art work was very spaced out none of them was close enough to get in one picture. 

#1 This was just added to the collection recently and I think it is amazing how they stand up own their own with no support. The Artist said that these was the type of dresses his mothers and aunts worn.

Art and Criticism 

1. When I seen this structure that made me curious to how are these dresses was standing up with out support .The artist used different textures of clothes and resign to  give the dresses a form .It was different colors and shapes that was used for the illusion. it reminds me of a family picture how the dresses was positioned, also reminded me of night gowns I use to wear as a child. 

Artist: Kevin Beasley Untitled (hollow) ,2016 size was not displayed Resin housedresses, and Kaftans 

#2 I liked that they was able to look at the word liquor and form a new word and to  me soul is a very deep work ex specially when you mix it with liquor. Alcohol had destroyed people and families for years and I didn't notice until I took a closer look that it had so many different types of shoes and laces and that was a very deep statement. 

Art and Criticsm 

1. This sculptures spoke to me as a representation of liquor, environment and souls can be lost through alcoholism. This artist used Lines, shapes, different colors, value when the only letters lit up on the sign is soul and its upside down. This reminds me of every sign I see while driving in my community . I like this picture it speaks volumes about society. The artist was trying to show us how they came together loisidas gather to celebrate rite passages and mourn loved ones that was lost .

Artist:  Nardi war Loiaidas LiquorsouL,2011 Meatal, Plexigals, fluorescent sign, PVC pipe, artificial flowers, shoes laces and shoe tips size of sculptures wasn't enclosed.

#3 

#3 The main attraction is this sculpture with different types of metal pans and cooking utensils. This photo symbolized the person challenge to overcome new and unfamiliar obstacles for their family and to adapt to natural resources to survive and learn. 

Art and Criticism 

1.I see a collection of different pots and pans and water flowing through some of them. The artist used form to build the structure. Space wasn't a concern this structure is very large and hard to capture in one photo . This reminds me of the pots my moms use on holidays, reminds me of food. I think it was a symbolism of the different things that contribute to life and daily struggles. The artist was trying to tell his story from his point of view of his family and upbringing.

Artist : Subodh Gupta

This is not a fountain ,2011-13 Old aluminum utensils, water, painted brass taps, PVC pipes and motor. The size wasn't included.

My mask sketches

Final sketch 

My first sketch

1. I uploaded three images to my blog https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?tab=mj&blogID=1385035894977000337#allposts and analized and described the sketches using elements of art and principles of art.
2.included art criticism
3. I uploaded my mask sketch
4. I used the elements of line, shapes, space, pattern and value when making my mask. I like the more realistic mask and art work and found it very hard to make a realistic looking mask. I used pattern when making my mouth mask and unity with the bringing nose and mask eye mask together. I felt like I emphasized on the eye aspect in my mask.
5.I found it difficult to make a mask so many thoughts was in my head. I wanted it to look a certain way but wasn't physically possible to make it so it made me a little frustrated. I do like my mask I may cut it out and laminate it to keep and hang up on my wall.
