2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.

The process was first figuring out what was going to be in the logo which at first was hard to figure out but eventually came to the conclusion that whats more me than the letters in the starting of my name. Once I figured that out I began looking at ways to design it but trying not to be extravagant but simple. The skills that was used was the steady hand I used to paint the design and the colors to match

3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos, powerpoint, and reading material  for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?

The most important thing that I learned was that the big company put a lot of time and effort into creating the logo that represents their company.

Module Five Project #2

A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why? 

The artwork that made an impression on me is the Cupid as Link boy by Joshua Reynolds. The first  thing about the picture that I saw was  the little boy with wings which made me wonder why would the artist draw a little boy with wings on his back with what seems to look like a wooden  stake in his hand with the name cupid.  I would infer that he is the opposite of love which the much known version cupid represents and he represents hate. Looking closer to it you could see the back ground is very dark and gloomy which brings out the darkness that he represents. The art work made an impression because of the way it stands out at you and make you think

     

The next painting that made an impression was the Le matin en Provence (Morning in Provence), ca. 1900-1906 by Paul Cezanne. It  Depicts a farm like home with a big open field and house right on it. The thing that caught my eye about it is that the picture had big dots of paint that create a beautiful piece of art work which made me like it even more cause of the uniqueness.

B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?

The first artwork I feel a connection with is the music and literature 1878 by William Michael Harnett piece.  I feel like I have a connection to it because I love music and literature because both gives me a sense of  

freedom and expression. When the artist put both of those things together it’s like giving a little glimpse of who I am.

The second artwork that I had a connection was the unfinished portrait sketch by Seymour Haden which depicted a human’s body but with no face which makes it faceless. The connection I feel with this painting is that sometime I do feel like I am incomplete and I believe until we die we are never truly complete. The life that we leave is to find ourselves which makes a complete. The sketch for me has a deeper meaning than what it portrays

C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?

The Artwork that I want to know more about is the L’Age d’Airain( Age of Bronze) 1875-1876. The reason I want to know more is because I am a little confuse at to what the statue really means and what’s the story behind. From looking at It can infer that the artist was maybe trying to show how a regular man is supposed to be depicted.

Another artwork that I would want to get a clearer understanding of is the Die Knieende by  Wilhelm Lehmbruck which depicts a woman kneeling on her knees with her skirt down. This statue confuses me and what it related to in that time period

Color is the perception of the eye. Color effect our emotions based on were we are in the world  like cool  colors are green,blue, purple

2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?

The Theoretical aspect of color is how we perceive it. The most intriguing part about it is  that we all see colors differently and  because we see certain colors so often its like that is the only we can perceive them which makes everyone perception different.

3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?

The biggest impact the video on color gave me was the fact that the artist took their time and patience to make sure that the painting that they did show the emotion and also capture it in the process 

4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions.

The biggest impact in the video is the way the artist depicts emotion in the painting by their facial expression and the way their body movement is presented. Leonardo Da Vinci  painting of the Mona Lisa depicts a woman who was happy and the painting color show a very light yellow which depicts happiness  from warm colors

Module 2 Blog H/W

1. For each video and article list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

Aesthetics: philosophy of art 

A) Aristotle book poetics changed simplied art

B) plato believe artit where copying a copy 

Art change the world was viewed 

Evolutionary origin of art

Both speaker gave a different view of art and understanding with was Changeux  viewed it as a human production while Ramachandarian viewed it as a exaggerated image.

2. Which philosopher's theroy on aesthetics do you feel is most important? Be sure to mention the philosphers name, era (time in history), and contribution to the aesthetic theory in your response.

I believe Aristotle theory in katharsis  was most important. The philosopher is Aristotle  around the 18th century and the contribution was that  Aristotle  book the  poetic was fairly a rebuttal to his teacher Plato perceptive of art. The book was very  influential on the topic art theory and it was very simple. 

3. What do you think about Changeux and Ramachandran scientific view of aesthetics and art? What was the most interesting fact you discovered from each speakers lecture? 

Both speakers gave very clear and understandable view of their perspective on Aesthetics and art. One of the interesting things i found out listening to Ramachandarian lecture was he definition of art which was that creating art is to exaggerate any image to please the human brain.He also had eight laws of art which i found to be very informative.On the other hand Changeux view of art was very different an unique from Ramchandarian, his definition was more human production which he believes it is a way of communication.The most interesting thing was his way of thinking of art as a human way of communication which in a sense is true. Art is sometimes a way of communicating. 

4. How do the videos and article relate to the readings in the text?

they all relate in many different ways  because they are all expressed and view in a different perspective  

5. What is your opinion of the films and article? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics in your reading in the text?

my opinion on the film was that it  was intriguing and very informational with the different perspective of art. The videos definitely add depth to my understanding of what art is and how it has affected our history. They made  it a little more clearer to understand than the reading text. I also got different  view of how art is defined.
