Trip at the art gallery

The painting that inspired me the most was the first one because it represent beauty life and spirt and that it something that I am full of. Even though it is ugly they made it look so beautiful.

I feel a connection with the fifth one because it represents everyone rasing their hand up for education. Which is a wonderful thing. As a child I always asked questions in class because I loved to learn new things and even today I still do that. So this painting just made me think of myself.

I would like to know more about the second one. Why a bed? Is there a story behind it? Why are there writings all over it? I feel like the artist was trying to send out a message of being alone but I am not so sure, but I would love to know.

Beautiful and exquisit

What I thought about creating my logo is what will I do and I will I do something to represent me and what is somnething that I love or love to do.

I came to the conclusion that I love to shop, read and look pretty so that is that is the reason why I created this logo.

This logo is good for girls because we all love to look pretty and our favorite thing to do is shop. We are also very smart and we love to learn new things.

What I learned from watching the videos and the powerpoints are that anyone can make a logo out of anything just as long as u put your mind too it. Anything creative can come into life.

Black, white and color

What I thought about creating these wheels is that it shows how colors change and how they grow. It was a fun experiment and I enjoyed doing it.

I enjoyed working with the color wheel because I love colors and it was fun to paint as well.

The most important discovery is to know that there are different shades of black, gray and white and doing this experiment proved it.

Project 1

For my first project, I chose a image that shows what movement is all about. I felt it was perfect because it shows that person in the image doing a certain type of movement repeditly.
Texture, I used an image where there is a print on the paper to show how good that paper is.
Repittition, I used a picture that shows a whole bunch of apples, that way it looks like it is repeating.
Proportion- shows an image of my son and I, he is my mini me.
Unity- shows am image of my family on our summer vacation back home in Honduras. I choose this picture because it is shows us happy and re-united.
Pattern- I used an image that shows repeating patterns.
Value- I used an image that shows a bar graph growing, its value is just increasing.
Space- I used an image that captured out of space.
Variety- for this image I chose an image that shows woman in different shapes and sizes and are all equally beautiful.
Form- shows an image where there is a box but there are forms of shapes in it growing to make something out of it.
Balence- shows a girl trying to balence on a pole.
Color- shows a flower but each part of the flower has different colors added to it.
Emphasis- I chose a picture of my brother. He passed six years ago and in that picture he just looks at peace.
Rhythm- shows my sister dancing what we call punta, while the drummers are playing the drums and my family is around cheering her on.
Shapes- my image on shapes shows a double wheel of shapes and I chose it because it just looks really cool.
Lines- the image of line just shows different forms of lines.
Harmony- I loved this picute because it is a perfect example of harmony it just looks so soulful.
Doing this project was so informative and taught me so much. It was also fun at the same time. Now I know the true elements of art.

3rd blog post

1.Color is described in different ways, but the most accurate definitions I found is that color is a visual attribute. As a result, the light is emitted. I found that color has a large affect on emotions; studies have shown that certain colors give an emotional response. For example, in the text book it says that many restaurants use decorations in red because it is belived that appetite and food increases
consumption. The color blue can be a lower person’s blood
pressure, pulse and respiration rate.

2. An aspect of color that is most intriguing is the connection to emotion. This aspect of color is fascinating because it is so interesting how colors can determine the way a person is feeling. For example, anytime I wear a nice bright color I feel excited and full of life. But when I wear black or grey one can tell that i am in a blue mood.

3. In the “Color” video, I loved the works created by Mark Rothko. The colors used in many of his paintings were used to bring emotions to people. His paintings were displayed in restaurants. His paintings were meant to bring out the feeling of entrapment.

4. In the “feelings” video, One of the painters name Goya did his work by using very dark colors, she felt dark colors show emotions of fear and anger. I found this
interesting because I just described this, dark colors make one feel down and blue.

Aesthetics blog

1.      In the first video, “Aesthetics: Philosophy of the Arts,” discusses the ideas of key elements in understanding of aesthetics. Learning about the history of the philosophers from way back from Plato to the present time taught me one thing, which was Plato’s perspective on art. He believed that beauty was everywhere and the way one expands their mind can find beauty in everything. Art can have a different effect on everyone in many different ways.

In the second video two scientists shared their insights on neurobiology and their discussion on the human experiences and aesthetics, how people recognize things through visual conception and stimulation of the brain. Jean-Pierre Change also discussed human evolution and its connection to art, by analyzing the brain.

2. The idea of beauty by Plato is most important theory to me. His time in history, the fifth century, he discussed what his definition of beauty was. He felt that just because something was considered a work of art it didn’t always have to be beautiful. It was only considered beautiful depending on the person’s perspective. Plato believed that beauty is what attracts that person to the specific object, place or person.

3.       Changeuxs view of aesthetics and art was what I liked the most. He said it was interesting how he tied the human brain to art. He showed certain sculls where he used as tools.  Art played an emotion not just what looked good, but the feeling behind what caused attraction.

On the other hand, Ramachandrans view on aesthetics was very different. He believed that art actually has meaning and feeling. Art is an aesthetic request of creation. He discussed the brain reactions to real events and compared the brain reaction to what we perceive art.

4. The videos and the readings from the text can relate in similar ways. When it comes to reading the text, the details are more informative when it comes aesthetics and art. While these videos shows a viewpoint of certain individuals. There is no true definition of what art actually is. Over all the videos show what was discussed in the textbook.

5. The first film on the philosophers, I found the most interesting out of the two, this is because I found it interesting when I got to learn about Plato and his views on how he defines beauty. People can create laws and theories of art but some may not know the true definition of art. The second video was too extended, a bore, and hard to understand because of the man’s accent.

 

 

 

 

 

1. The process of creating the gmail account was not bad and was not hard at all. I already have two gmail accounts so it was no big deal. Setting up the blog was not bad at all. I just had to read the instructions and go from there.

2. What I expect to learn from this course is more about art education and how can I be able to use art within my major.

3. I feel good about taking this course online. I have had online classes before and did great on them.
