Becoming one with art

The two art pieces that made an impact on me from my visit to the Albright Knox are as followed in this order " The Marvelous Sauce" by Jenhan Geogres Vibert in 1890, done with Oil on wood panel, the second piece was "Tempest in Red" Sandra cinto in 1969, done with acrylic and permanent pen on canvas. The piece it made an impact on me because I found it so funny and full of life, unlike all the other art pieces i found that day this one made me smile as soon as I saw it and looking at these characters made me wonder what is in that sauce. The second piece on the other hand simply garbbed my attention for its visual beauty, its use of lines pull me in and had me lost captivated, reminding me of a very intense sea storm. Art pieces I feel the most connected with are as follows "Carnival of Harlequin" by Joan Miro in 1925, done with Oil on Canvas, and the second piece " Twirling Hands" by James Drake in 1996, done w...

Final Logo    Creating my logo, the thought process for me I initially found this as a very difficult challenge. Coming up with an idea was the most difficult part, at first i tried to make it based on the blog after which I decided it was better to go with something describing myself. Overall i did enjoy the experience and the creativeness it brought out in me.     My logo design had 5 different steps in its creation First was the initial premise of "understanding art" and the page of sketches that followed(not included). Second was more of a thought process for me, while after switching the focus of my logo to my self I brainstormed what stands out to me about my self. Step three was now creating sketches and ideas for my two ideas which were, "my personality being made up of different aspects" and the one I went with "Me having three R's in my name". Step four and Five to finish it off consisted of a initial and final sketch.    T...

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel. Beginning this assignment was not as bad as i thought it would be, after reading the chapter and watching the videos i seen that the creation of this should be simple and not too time consuming. The color wheel even though simple took me two attempts because i kind of struggled mixing the colors together.   2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why? I think i enjoyed the value scale better than the color wheel, this is mainly based on the fact that i found it so much easier to create, for the value scale i just needed to make sure each box was darker or lighter than the adjacent box.  3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies? For me the most important discovery i made was seeing how the primary colors i used can be so simple influence and changed into something else, and for the value scale seeing how much different shades i could create just...

Doing this assignments was very challenging for me, the only easy part to this assignment was creating my Photobucket account, which was as simple as it get. The assignment on the other hand was hard with its fourteen different concepts of art this was so challenging that I still don't think I completed it very well. Starting off my assignment I first read the pages in the book to gain a better understanding of the elements and principals I was to take pictures of. After which came the first difficult task for which was to find real world inspiration that relate to my topic. Taking pictures was like a day and a half process constantly deleting, re-taking and posting over and over again, after which it was just a matter of trying to accurately put the slideshow together, which was also difficult. This assignment showed me that I struggle with understanding art concepts in my own way. Album http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/alkatek/library/Mobile%20Uploads/Elements%20and%20Princ...

1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.  Color has a surprising effect on emotions . The video "Color" illustrates this idea in two different ways, first being how every different color is used to describe the feel of the place and gives individuals in the painting life and feeling as if there expressing there own emotions. Secondly would be its ability cause emotion in real people. Different lighting, shades and intensity of different colors creates emotions in the viewers of that art piece. Seeing the differences in the colors presented can promote different feelings such as sadness,pleasure,pain, sorrow, happiness, joy, guilt, love and many more just based on the way it is presented. 2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why? The aspect of color that most intrigues me is the use of the reflection of color onto other objects, as in the "Color" video...

This week was jammed packed with information which builds a basses of understanding art. First is the video " Aestheics : Philosophy of Arts" talks about the beauty of art and how this concept of understanding art started. Beginning in the middle age they talk about its connection to god and how key figures such as " Plato, Francis Hutcheson Tolstoy and other came to effect this.  There  we' re  principals  or laws  establish;  these laws talk about   the way individuals can discuss  and  interrupt  the art. The video goes on to describe how art is based on  different  types  of beauty such as Nature as a  natural  form of beauty and how emotions are tied into all aspects of creating and observing beauty in art.  This was during the time of the 18 th  century when  aestheics  came into the world,  this  era was a very  peaceful  and individuals developed a very  roma...

Creating my blog. This overall experience wasn't hard, creating my Gmail was simply in of  I've created a number of email addresses throw out the years. In this course I hope to learn about art appreciation and different ways of understanding art in a historical, emotional and meaning. As for taking an online course I'm a little worried seeing that I also have 3 more as well this semester, so hopefully the odds are in my favor. Lastly the three things in the Growth Mindset video which I mostly believe in is that 1st is Determination and the fact it can push you to heights you wanting to reach, 2nd is the Sacrifices where making now will pay off in the future and lastly is the fact that We are pretty similar this fact is true to me.
