2.) Use the section below to write a well-structured paragraph focusing on your personal critical insight / response to the event. How did you interpret or react to what was presented to you?
This was the by far the most influential and prestigious museum I've ever visited. I was able to actaully see up close works by Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Pablo Picasso. Not only this but it also had a huge impact on me since I've been learning about these works in class since I can remember. I also happened to see Monet's paintings that I just learned about in 2D class not a week before.

3.) What information, ideas, images, etc. most impressed you and why?
I was most influenced and stricken by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist galleries. Mostly because they contained all the works I've previously mentioned, but also just because I enjoyed that type of work the most because I know what was behind their thinking and experimentation. On a side note, I was very disappointed because the Edward Hopper exhibit cost extra and I wasn't able to see it.

4.) Overall, how would you rate this event (10 being the most worthwhile)?
(10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 )

2.) Use the section below to write a well-structured paragraph focusing on your personal critical insight / response to the event. How did you interpret or react to what was presented to you?
I really enjoyed this museum visit for many reasons. First of all, I love going to art museums in general, but most art museums have a rather small contemporary art gallery, so being in one that is entirely contemporary was very exciting. Also among many other artist's work, I was able to see the Alexander Calder exhibit which included many of his mobiles and stabiles as well as some 2-dimensional work.

3.) What information, ideas, images, etc. most impressed you and why?
There is no end to the amount of ideas and thought that was caused by looking through the galleries in this museum. It is always refreshing and thought-provoking to see any large collection of contemporary art. Mostly I liked it because it made me think about my own art from a different perspective and it gave me a lot of inspiration for new ideas th at Ican apply to my own work

Visiting any museum is always a valuable and worthwhile experience for anyone who has the chance, not just art students. Not only that, but this is the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago where you can see work from such prestigious artists that it may even be the best art you could have seen to date.

Image Essay #10

After diverging into talking about Alex Ross in my last Image Essay, I then felt the need to make my last Image Essay about his work. This picture is one of my favorites of his, mostly because I love how he depicts the classic Justice League of America. However I also like this picture because of the powerful patriotic message to it. You have all of the greatest heroes that America has ever known and they are standing on what looks like the steps of a building in Washington D.C. (how ironic). There are obvious patriotic references with the Washington Monument in the background, the emphasis of Hawkman's and Hawkgirl's wings on top of the bright background, and the eagle perched on Suparman's arm, but what really stuck out to me is his use of color to further convey this patriotism. Although there is alot of green because of J'onn J'onzz, Green Lantern, and Green Arrow, but there is also an overwhelming amount of red and blue in the picture. The whole left side with Wonderwoman's hair, The Batman's suit, Black Canary's suit and Supermans suit is full of blue. Also the right side and background have alot of reddish color from the Flash, Red Tornado, and Elongated Man's suits. Also there is alot of blue and white in the background on the steps and the pillars and in the sky.

Image Essay #9

Okay so I'm sure it's pretty cliche of me to be using a picture of a samurai for an image essay but I really do like it and it has great examples of dominance with the foreground/middleground/background, definition, and use of color. With the dominance, you have the sword/blood in the foreground, the face in the middleground, and the hand in the background. Also there is obvious usage of definition with the dark shadows in the bottom left corner and the intense highlights in the upper right corner. However, the main reason I like this picture because it reminds me of what I like to refer to as the Frank Miller color technique. In almost all of Frank Miller's work (my favorite comic book artist behind Alex Ross - I recommend reading the DC Comic 'Justice'. It's a pretty epic Justice League story an has awesome artwork from Alex Ross. Anyway, I've sidetracked.) is the usage of almost all black and white. He uses extreme contrast to draw attention to some things, but at times he will use color, but only ONE color, which is always a very bright and bold color. Anywone, who has seen or read Sin City, will know what I'm talking about. Anyway, the reason I like this picture is because the artist uses that same technique. using one color on a black and white picture to draw all the attention to it and point out the theme to the picture - death.

1.) Provide a brief detail-oriented technical description or summary of the event you attended. This section should remain journalistic and should not be reflective of your opinion.
A performance by Nano Suratno (Nano S.) and Rita Tila of classical West Javanese music known as Tembang Sunda.

2.) Use the section below to write a well-structured paragraph focusing on your personal critical insight / response to the event. How did you interpret or react to what was presented to you?
I enjoyed this performance more than most of the other performances I've seen in the arts village because this was a type of music that I have absolutely no experience with and have heard maybe once or twice in my lifetime. I felt very privileged also, because Nano S is considered to be a master composer of that type of classical music and is also one of the most popular composers of Indonesian Pop Sunda music.

3.) What information, ideas, images, etc. most impressed you and why?
I enjoyed hearing the music of course but mostly learning about it and what the popular types of music are in Indonesia and about how the kacapi (stringed instrument he plays) is used in classical music as opposed to how it is relevant in their pop music.

4.) Overall, how would you rate this event (10 being the most worthwhile)?
(10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 )

5.) Justify your rating in the question above:
I consider this to be a very valuable learning experience for anyone who enjoys music. Mostly because it's great music that most people probably have never even heard of.

Image Essay #8

I really like this work entitled 'Shine Through', because I found it in the gallery of one of my favorite artists on deviantART. He usually does strictly graphite drawings, which I have a few image essays on already. This work however, is completely different because it is abstract and actually uses color. I really like how loose this one is, as opposed to his other work which is very precise and tedious looking. This one, on the other hand is very free and at the same time is full of these nostalgic and very melancholy emotions. I almost can't tell if that is due to the pattern which the light shines through the branches or if it is the color that causes those feelings.

Blog Essay #3

Art:21 - Place

1)Do we define a place or does a place define us?
Both. We define places because we make them what the are. Without us, a place is nothing. Also places define us as a person. Most of how a person's personality and demeanor develops in life is a direct result of their surroundings where the come from.

2)How is each of the featured artists influences by particular places? How is this influence reflected in the artist's work?
Every one of the artists were influenced by particular places because I think every artist is influences by the places they've come from and the places they've been. Sometimes it's in the form of taking pictures of those places, such as in Sally Mann's work, or sometimes it's actually taking familiar places and being inspired to make new ones through creating space like Richard Serra.

3) Which artist do you feel most connected to and why?
I felt most connected with both Margaret Kilgallen and Barry McGee because I agreed with their views that art is for the public. I also agree that graffiti art is no more garbage than billboards are, and that should be respected and looked at as art just as any other painting in a museum would be. Not only are they not garbage, but I believe that graffiti is infinitely more valuable that billboards and advertisements because graffiti is the art of the people - a commentary on the world by who matters most in it, it's everyday people.

4) When you were young, was there a place that interested you? A place that scared you? List five places from your childhood. Use one word to describe each of them.
Hospital - Ominous. Lake - Escape. Pleasant Ridge Creek - Private. Shingle Shack - Discovery. Basement at house in West Chester - Cave.

5) Pick one of those places. Try and remember it as well as you can. Answer these questions about it... What objects occupy that place? What are the textures and sizes of those objects? What was the lighting like? Was it a dark dreary place? or bright happy one?
The basement at my house in West Chester was actually a pretty nice one. It was a finished basement that my dad finished completely by hand on his own time. It was mostly like another family room/game room. It was a very comfortable place and all of my movies and video games were there. However during one particular summer, the one I remember most about that place, was a summer when I blacked out the windows and pretty much made myself a cave down there. I spent at least 80% of my summer there. I even slept on the couch most of the time. Looking back on it, it was definitely a dark and dreary place.

Image Essay #7

This is another high contrast black and white photo that caught my eye right away. I found this piece on deviantART also. It's title is Irreversible. I think that this photo does a great job of telling a story. Looking at the very depressing feel of the picture and the ruins of what may have been a house or some other kind of building it is easy to see that the planned narrative of this piece is that you cannot change the past. Aside from the story of the piece I really like the extremely bright highlights of the sky and the rocks on the ground in contrast to the very dark shadows of the canopy of the tree and at the ground near the bottom of the piece.

The Julie Comnick Visiting Artist Lecture was an Autobigraphical presentation of her life and artwork via lecture / powerpoint presentation.

2.) Use the section below to write a well-structured paragraph focusing on your personal critical insight / response to the event. How did you interpret or react to what was presented to you?
Julie Comnick's artwork was very interesting to me. All of her paintings were large-scale and consisted of a few objects to tell a story painted on top of a solid-colored background. I found this to be very straightforward but that the same time I could never think of another artist who did this and still stood out to me the way she did. I enjoyed seeing her work a great deal, but what I liked most was that she intertwined showing us her works while simultaneously telling us the story of her life and experiences and whatnot.

3.) What information, ideas, images, etc. most impressed you and why?
I was most impressed with how interesting but simple her work is. Many people, including me, would not be received well in the art world if we were paint a few objects on top of a plain background the way she does, but she executes this technique perfectly and is able to make interesting story-telling art.

5.) Justify your rating in the question above:
This artist taught me alot about how to tell a story in your work and not to pay more attention on how good it looks than anything else.

Image Essay #6

I found this picture on deviantART, as is the case with alot of the art that I see. It's called "Man With the Hat Gets Around". This one grabbed my attention immediately. First of all, I love everything black and white. I like being able to make good art that invokes thought and tells a story without using any color. I also like when things have a very high contrast such as this picture. Anyway, I think this picture is a very good illustration of what we've learned in class about Definition and the equal distribution of positive and negative space. Notice the man and the menu are both a very dark black and the window and counter are very highlighted. It makes for a perfect positive/negative balance of space. Also since the positive black space is distributed equally between the man and the menu, it keeps your eye moving because you know that the man is the main area of focus, but the menu keeps grabbing your attention because of the high contrast between the words and the background.

Visiting Artist

For an out of class assignment we had to go see visiting artists Steven and Ana Fink. I actually found both of their work extremely interesting. First, I thought Ana's work was very interesting because almost all of her pieces were related to the others in some way, whether it be with the hexagonal pattern that she used repeatedly or with actual physical elements such as the seeds and things that she made. I liked how much her artwork related to the physical world, and our relationship as humans to the earth and nature.
Steven's work on the other hand was way more spiritual in citing the relationships between humans and the world we live in. I liked his artwork more because he seemed to care way less about what his audiences thought of his work. Especially in the installations he made out in the woods on their property, I appreciated it more because he went to all the work and put so much effort into these things that will rarely be seen by any mass group of viewers, which is something that I think is really important in art - making it just to make it and not just for the critical acclaim that may come with it.

Gestalt Project W.I.P.

Alright so, since I'm so far behind on this project, I obviously haven't made a whole lot of progress, but I plan on using most of the weekend to get this done. Currently I haven't started on the texture layering because I'm still researching the texture, value, and gestalt principles that are all being utilized in this project.
On the other hand, I do think I know how I want to start on the textures. First, I want to use veins from leaves for the tree branches and make the top half of the tree organic looking, and slowly blend down tree into more artificial and man-made looking textures to represent the change to more industrial environments in the world. Also as far as the globe goes, I want to use one base texture for the whole globe and layer more textures on top of each other (all also artificial and industrial looking) to build up the look of the continents and then hopefully a rough terrain. I do, however want the globe to have a lower value than the tree so that the tree is the main focus. For a background texture I want to use more natural and organic textures for the base of the piece because organic natural things are the base of our world. On a side note, I want to hopefully increase the values of the textures in the corners of the background slightly to make the background look a little rounded while still being rectangular.

Blog Entry Assignment #2

This is my final part III to our first assignment which mostly centered around using dominance to make an interesting and eye-catching composition. The first part we were to use a circle, line, and rectangle. The second part consisted of using those 3 basic shapes again, but using 5 of one, 3 of another, and 1 of the lest shape. The final part of the project was to make a composition of the same type, using 7, 5, and 3, of the shapes. We also had to chose 3 shapes, one rectangular, one linear, and one circular, which all described us personally. I chose the body shape of a Gibson X-Plorer guitar as my rectangle, the Rebellion logo from Star Wars as my circle, and a lightning bolt (which represents comics because of how many super heroes have lightning bolts in their logo/uniform) as my line. I tried to use the rectangular shapes as my dominant positive spaces because they have the least detail, so I arranged them around the page, trying to space them out. Next I tried to mix the lightning bolts and rebellion logos as my accentual and subordinate shapes to have a little variety. Other than that, my main focus was to arrange the objects in a way that moved the eye around the page from the top left corner then down and to the right and then back again in an L motion.

Image Essay #5

Alright, here is one more work by Armin Mersmann and since I think I’m overusing this artist a little, this will be the last work of his I used for these image essays. Anyway, I really like this piece because of how simple the subject matter is. It’s just a small patch of ground with grass, dirt, pebbles, etc. and he turned it into a very interesting piece of art. I like it also because it looks very abstract but it’s almost like a natural abstractness. Also this is another great example of the great detail and textures he can recreate with just a pencil and paper and using different shading and line types. Mainly the thing I like most about this picture is the fact that it really makes the viewer rethink how they see the world. Personally, pieces like this cause me too look way more closely at everything around me.

Image Essay #4

This is another work by Armin Mersmann. I chose this work because I just love the theme. He said his main inspirations for this work were the Holocaust and the current events happening in Iraq. I like how he uses the crow and skulls as a sort of main tool in communicating the overall message of the piece. They’re very simple and obvious objects used to symbolize death but they aren’t overpowering and don’t make the whole picture seem cliché. Also I like how the eye on the left is looking the viewer right in the face in a sort of accusatory way and gives the viewer a feeling of guilt, and how conversely the eye on the right is looking off in the distance as if hopeful for better things to come. The roots however, baffle me. I just can’t seem to figure out their meaning and how they contribute to the message, but even though I don’t know the reason behind them I like how they look and that they help to draw my eyes into this piece and keep me looking at it. I chose to examine this piece because of the way he used different line types and ways of shading and such to turn a regular pencil and paper drawing into something as detailed as a photograph. Also I like that this picture has depth to it due to the perspective used on tops of the roots moving off into the distance.

Image Essay #3

This is a drawing by an artist named Armin Mersmann. It was first titled Jessica but was renamed The Waking Edge. I love this drawing and all of his others because I’m blown away with how well he can recreate texture and detail with just a pencil and nothing else. This picture, for example, is just graphite on illustration board. Personally, having used graphite pencils for about 5 years, I find it extremely impressive that he can make such fine detail the way he does in all of his work. I chose to examine this work because of its definitive qualities with the level of contrast over the whole picture and also shadowing in the bottom left corner. Furthermore I thought this was a prime example of how to create texture and detail with just different types of pencil strokes and line qualities. Specific examples of this that I notice as a reoccurring quality in all of his work is the extreme detail with each and every strand of hair and every single thread of fabric in the girl’s sweater.

Image Essay #2

This digital painting is entitled World Museum and it was made by Gary Tonge (handle: Antifan-Real), an artist that I watch pretty closely on deviantART because I really like the style with which he makes his works. This was a painting he did in only an hour, which is pretty fast because most of his more complicated works are done in 20 hours on average. Anyway, I like this picture because of the rough sketchy nature of the painting and I like how well it expresses dominance. The enormous red globe is obviously the dominant structure with the background windows as subordinate structures and the people in the middle ground as the accentual structures. Also I like the extreme highlights which give it a high contrast feel and add to the definition of the overall piece. I chose this work over some of his others because I thought it was a pretty basic example of dominance.

Image Essay #1

This photograph is entitled -148- and it was taken by an artist I found on deviantART.com (where I find most of my favorite artists) who calls himself 'rainris'. I really like this picture foremost because it reminds me of something that looks just like a movie still taken from some long lost Alfred Hitchcock film or something. It's more than just a picture, it has a story in it, and I like when you can tell a story with one picture. But I also really like the composition in this picture because it does a good job of using the blackness in the tunnel to even out the negative and positive space without making the picture weigh too much to the left or the right. Also the man in the front has alot of dominance over the couple in the back. I like how the photographer not only used size to accomplish this but how he also used clarity by focusing on the man in front so the couple is extremely blurry.

Blog Entry Assignment #1

The purpose of this assignment is to provide (the instructor) with some background on my work and to give me practice writing about my ideas. Write anything (I) want no less than 300 words. Please Proofread, use paragraphs, and spell-check! Publish this to your blog.

Consider:

-How long and for what reason have you made art?
Well, really I've been making art ever since I could pick up a utensil made for marking on things, although I was never really conscious of it. So I suppose I didn't know i was making art until I started having art classes in grade school, but I didn't start intentionally making art outside of the classroom for the sake of making art until I was in the 5th grade or so when my teachers told me I had pretty good artistic and creative abilities. That is also the reason I started making art; people told me I was good at it.

-What are the sources of your ideas?
Anything and everything around me influences my ideas for my art. However I usually only take influence from things I like. (i.e. videogames and movies I enjoy, comics, graphic novels, cartoons, other artists whose work I have seen, etc.)

-Under what conditions do you learn the most
Through what I am taught by other artists. Personally, I am not one to explore other art mediums or concepts unless otherwise told to in a class or something. I guess I would say that I'm only comfortable with art that I have personal experience with [pencil/pen sketching, photoshop, MS Paint (Yes, I've drawn entire anime scenes with the line tool and the paint bucket lol.)] or am at least taught how to utilize properly (pen and ink, charcoal, etc.)

-What materials have you used and why?
Mostly, I prefer to use Adobe Photoshop or other digital means. Otherwise I use pencil and pen. Also, through Drawing Foundations class I have learned to use charcoal, willow and vine charcoal, conte crayon, graphite sticks, India ink and pigment liner pens successfully. (side note: I didn't take any conventional art classes throughout high school. I only took Intro to Computer Graphics and Advanced Computer Graphics, hence my affinity for Adobe Photoshop).

-What defines your urge to pick up these objects and make art?
Whenever I see art that I like on TV or in videogames or comics, it makes me want to do the same, which is usually why I ever create art outside of classes.

-What inspires you?
(see: "Sources of my Ideas")

-What is art?
(see next question)

-What defines art?
After taking Aesthetics last semester, I have come to believe that art is whatever the artist wants it to be. Furthermore, whether or not something is art can only be defined by either the artist or the viewer, but it is only their own opinion. Therefore, I believe there is no such thing as a universal definition of art.

-Do you consider movies art? Music? Video games? Comics? Television?
Yes, I believe that all of those things are art.

-Why?
I think those are all art because I see them all as crafts, and I also see craftsmen as being the same thing as an artist. Therefore, if anyone puts their creativity and influence into any craft that they make, I believe it is art.

-Why do you get to decide? Who else decides?

I get to decide for only myself what is art. I don't get to decide for anyone else what is art. I believe everyone decides for themselves what is or isn't art.

-Why did you pursue art academically?
Simple. I think to be happy in life you must enjoy what you do for a living, and art is the only thing I can enjoy doing for as long as a lifetime.

-When you debate music or movies with your friends, what critical elements or standards do you hold them to?
I debate many aspects of music and movies depending on the nature of the argument, but when arguing about the general value of a movie, I only rate it on it's entertainment or artistic value to me, but I don't believe that what I or anyone else has to say about anything artistic is the ending say in the matter.

-What was the best movie of last year?
Really, I can only say which movie(s) I enjoyed most this past year. Also I could never pick just one movie to be the best so I think there were probably 4 that I liked best above all the others. I think Juno was the best comedy of the year by far. Also I loved No Country for Old Men and the funny thing about that is that I have no idea why I loved it, I just did. Also, I liked Ratatouille and Transformers a lot because I consider myself to be a digital artist more so than I consider myself to be any other type of artist and when I watch movies the digital effects are what stand out to me the most. Both of these movies delivered amazing digital effects, not to mention they were both extremely entertaining. (side note: I also loved Transformers because of 2 reasons. 1: I loved the cartoon as a kid. 2: I read that each frame that had a transformer in it took 36 hours of digital work and I think that's pretty hardcore.)

-What is an "Art Film"?

I think all films are art, but I wont lie; I think any film that is classified as an art film is any film that doesn't make any sense to the general audience or is at least meant to not make sense.

-When was the last time you went to a museum? Gallery? Artist Studio?
During the last few weeks before Christmas break I visited the Toledo Museum of Art twice and the Faculty Art Show in the Fine Arts Building multiple times.

-When was the last time you made a drawing? painting? sculpture?
The last real drawing I made was for my Drawing Foundations final (I remade an Escher piece to make it my own). Also I jacked around in Photoshop countless times over the break, but I don't think I saved anything.

-What CD or mp3 is in your player?
Either Led Zeppelin: Mothership or Brian Setzer and the Nashvillians: Red Hot and Live
