Art Making/Material Exploration #1: Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory Blog

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 with one pencil.

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
For the videos the biggest thing i took away was that what i learned as primary colors are a lie, and that these colors are in fact too dark to be primary colors, and combining these colors will give you brown. The true set of primary color are Cyan, Magenta and Yellow

Project #1: Elements and Principles Slideshow Reflection

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...

Project #2 Art Gallery Visit #1

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...
