Art Gallery Trip!!!
A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?The artworks that impacted me the most were the simple line drawings. I like these because of course the artist had there own meaning behind the work but is also left open-ended so that you can see it how you want. An example would be in the first picture when I first looked at it I saw some type of scary monster, yet the artist was trying to show how they saw an owl in a tree.
B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
I feel a connection these with these because of the first one, when I was in elementary school, in art class we had to do a project like this piece of artwork. The other picture gives me a connection because it's using familiar ideas and scenes in an artwork.
C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
I would like to know more about these pieces of artwork because yet they are also simple, but they are unique. I like the different types of media and materials used. They express interesting concepts and you can really let your imagination flow with the meanings behind them.
3. From the video " How Art Made the World Part 1: More Human Than Human"
1. What are the most interesting facts you learned from the video?
I learned how the video described how the human body was first sculpted from the finding of venus and her full-figured self to the Egyptians and how their human drawings were more simple.

2. Why is our modern world dominated by images of the body that are unrealistic?
Our modern world is dominated by images of the body that are unrealistic because everyone sees the human body in a different way. We all express it in ways that other people can relate to them even if it is unrealistic to most.

I liked your interpretation of why Charles E. Burchfield's painting "White Owl and Beech Tree Motif" impressed you. We see things are own way or as something they are not a lot of the time. Once you take the time to dig deeper and educate yourself on a work of art you can see where the artist was coming from or going with their piece. I also really loved the picture of the elephant by Valentino Dixon. The bright colors are so beautiful and really caught my eye. I also used the "Four Food Groups" created by John McQueen in my project. That piece was very interesting because of the choice of media. It was a type of art work that made it's viewers want to learn and see more.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you connected the owl painting to a similar piece you did when you were younger! Also I agree that artworks that leave that open interpretation sometimes makes it more impactful because the viewer can connect like you said "see it how you want". I feel that the more types of materials and elements put into an artwork creates a bigger story to go along with it
ReplyDeleteI love the first three pieces you chose to write about. The monochromatic simplicity of the abstract piece and then the two sketch pieces is very light on the yes and almost feels refreshing to look at.
