Why did you select the inspiration pieces?        I selected those pieces for inspiration because they each brought out something unique and real out. To me they seem more realistic and not exaggerated, which is why I thought I'd do something a little in between.  2. Why did you select the media to...

1. Use the vocabulary you have learned in class to describe this artwork or performance in detail.       When looking at this work of art, the first thing that comes to mind when simply looking at it, is nothing. The reason I say nothing is because the moment my eyes glanced through the piece, it took me everywhere in the matter of seconds. This painting had the ability to shift my focus to everything and really take in its value all throughout. With its background being mostly dark, with grey shadows and blackness, the pieces that do stand out are all due to its unique textures and shapes.           2. What is the relationship of this work to the time and society in which it was created? Describe the symbols used to express this relationship.     The relationship of this work and the time and society in which it was created was very intense. It is interesting to see the way this painting speaks for itself and the meaning it ...

Although I have said that about each project. This one was more time consuming, however it was one one that I enjoyed the most because I had the freedom to choose something that represented me and my background. It was a nice touch of me to add my Mexican culture into this because not only was it fun, but I also got to learn more about Mexican artist, their paintings and some history of Mexico. With this project I decided to go for a more colorful approach, which is usually something I wouldn't go for, only because at times it can get overwhelming. It was interesting the way I worked into this project with such confidence, because it was a topic I was very familiar in. Overall, I am glad to have been given the opportunity to create this Art Exhibit. It is something that I am very proud of and will continue to...

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.      Based on the video, West Coast Pop Art,  Something interesting gathered from this video was the importance with school of art was the post-world war II, which was also referred to as the atomic age or space age. There were B movies and comic books which were very influential. As well as McCarthyism, which was going on because people were paranoid about the war.       On the Acquiring Mind video,  What I gathered from this video that was interesting was the Flemish Tapestry. I learned that it was woven out of wool and silk over 500 years ago. It was presented by Thomas Campbell who then presented it to de Montebello in 1998.      A key concept i learned about in the BBC culture show video, was about Tate modern. Where sitting in a room is a typical Tate Modern, and its where people look at artists work, where they are able to depict anything the artis...

1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.      - The reason I decided to watch the Andy Warhol: Images of an image, was because I have previously learned about him and how he affected the art world. I wanted to learn more about his art work and what influenced him.  2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.      For the Andy Warhol: images of an image video, the most interesting thing I learned was how  Andy never really wanted to become a an artist but a tap dancer instead. Yet, Rauschenberg’s collage suddenly triggered his desire for art and he became a famous painter too. His concept was very cool because he would cut out advertisements in newspapers and enlarged them with a projector.      For the, Art of Henry Moore  video,  It was interesting to know that Henry Moore tried drawing everything, anywhere. He began drawing anything from an...

Questions about the exhibit:   1. What is the title of the  exhibit?  The title of the exhibit was Humble and Human.  2. What is the theme of the exhibition?  The exhibition  was in honor of Ralph  C. Wilson. In which during his lifetime collected painting by impressionist  artist like, Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, and Vincent Van Gogh. It's a celebration of works done in the late nineteenth century , which reflects the values  and ideas, that Ralph enjoyed the most.  Questions about the physical space: 1. What type of lighting is used? The lighting that was used was very specific because each section of the exhibit used yellow dimmed lights. It was simplistic in the way the lights were only on two ends of the room, focusing exactly on the art pieces, instead of having the lights focused on the center of the room.  2. What colors are used on the walls? The colors used on the walls might have been my favorit...
