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 with charcoal on paper. These both had a connection with me because this is how I often think if my mind and thought process. The first piece illustrates my mind all different parts looking as if they do not belong together but make up the painting, its random different but some how all works together. The second piece is the thought process, the hands are ideas,outcomes, pros and cons while the center is all of it coming together.

































Finally the pieces i would like to know more about are as follows "Untitled" by Dan Flavin in 1996, done with blue, pink and yellow fluorescent lights and "Vego-Nor" by Victor Vasarely in 1969, done with Oil on Canvas. These both have me wanted to know more based on the same thing which is what is the meaning of these. Both extremely nice to look at the first with it colors and feeling it give the second for its 3-d aspect with beautiful colors. But these are extremely simply in my opinion and i would love to know what it represents and if there is a hidden message.

  1. Hey Raheem, very nice job. I see you really enjoyed this assignment and did a very great job explaining all your points and how each piece of art made you feel and what it meant to you. What stood out to me is the fact we choose similar images such as the "Swirling Hands", which leads me to think we a similar eye for art.

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...
