Art making materials

1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?

it was very challenging form me but also interesting and fun.

2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?

 I selected a pencil because it was a easy tool  to get for the drawing

3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand.?

it was very difficult because I wasn't use to using my non dominant hand to draw so it was definitely a  new experience that I would hope to strength one day

4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?

 they are both very successful studies because I thought my non dominant hand would be hard to draw but it turned out to be a little easier. My dominant hand was a lot stronger that my non dominant hand.

5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?

 I would consider using it in the future just to strengthen it and be able to do what the dominant can do.

1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
the reason why I chose the two was because I believe it could give me a little more detail in to the artists life.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
the first video was  the drawing of Michangelo  which went in depth about his influence in the renaissance. the  few things I learned in the video was that michangelo destroyed the paint that showed hesitation and anything that showed doubt. He only made one sculpture  which makes it very special and important. the second video was Albrecht durer: image of a master and the things I learned from this was that he painted people based on what he saw including flaws and all. His painting speaks the truth.
2. How do . the videos relate to the readings in the text?
the book and the video related because both went in depth about michangelo influence on the rennaince. Book give more detail that include his life and his accomplishment. the video gave you a better sense of things because it went in depth. The second one about Albrecht Durer went in depth but confused me when the reading indicated that he was a lonely man with no kids  or wife  but the video made it clear that he had a wife which their was a sketch of. 
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
 The two videos was very information and interesting because they depicted two great artists live and how they perceive everything. They went in-depth about their lives and what kind of painting they did.

Module Blog video review

1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above.
The first video I watched was the how art made the world more human than human and the reason that topic was chosen was because that was a required video to watch but also a very interesting one with a lot of informative information. The second video the Greek awakening Art from the 5th century because I felt the two videos could correlate with each other. 
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
the first key point I learned through out this video was that human views of arts is exaggerated. The next thing I learned from the video was that people like to see exotic strange things that they don't fully understand but like. The little birds demonstration to the color stripe on the stick was an example of how people interpret art. The second video I learned a lot from the Greek culture.
3. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
the videos starts out by discussing  how and when people past and present go towards the more exaggerated look when creating art. In chapter 14 it discussed how the two culture where different from each other. The video and text had the same idea but different outcomes. the second video gave more of an in depth understanding of the art in Greece.
4. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
 the video to me was very interesting and fun to watch. They  added depth to  my understanding because it gave me two different view points of how art was interpreted in the past and present. The second video I like because it helped with the understanding of the other video.

Video Review

Architecture: the science Design

1.For this video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

The key concepts I learned from the video is that concrete is the most versatile and in demand material. The Roman Empire used concrete which was made up of Sand, pebbles, broken stone and cement. The world is growing and cities are becoming more pact  where there is no space architects tend to build building a little bit higher. There is a lot of factors that come in to play when architects have to  build building an that is the environmental factors.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

The video and the reading relate because the reading discuss seven diferent ways that construction and how they help in architecture. The video share the foundation  of early concrete structure but the book goes more in depth with it giving examples and detailed line diagram to where you can understand how the architect build the building.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?

The first film I believe was very informational but a little out dated to where we are now. The video goes in depth by giving examples on how building are made but also how they keep standing. They added depth by giving examples and just giving us a foundation of how architect construct buildings.

4. Why did you choose the films that you watched?

I chose the video because I believed it would have giving me an insight into what architectures do and how they do what they do. The video gave me exactly what I thought it would have the science behind architecture.

Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art

1.For this video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

The things that I learned in this video is that the architecture doesn’t like repeating his self meaning he likes the buildings he creates to be unique in their own way. Frank Gehry wants the people who see the building he builds to have an emotional response to it. The buildings he creates are not just like any home they are a work of art.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

The video and the reading relate to each other is  Frank Gehry was the first architect to take advantage  of digital design and manufacturing. The book had a lot of information on Frank Gehry and his work and the video gave a more personal perspective on how he creates building and what his mind set is like during that process.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?

The film to me was very long but informative and little bit entertaining. The film goes in depth about it in a way because it made me see the architecture process in his eyes and how he see the building he created because that was always a wonder of mine.

4. Why did you choose the films that you watched?

I chose the film because I wanted to understand and see what architecture goes through and their process to creating the buildings the build.

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

 The first video follow a artist name Emmanuel Fillion who was born and raised in France. In his life he grew up around limestone quarry which lead him to work as a restoration artist. In the video it depicts Emanuel view point to creating a sculpture in which there were steps he had to take for instance asking weather a sculpture is going to be inside of a building or outside of a building another step he took was to be precise in realizing that everything had to interact with a technicality. The video over all shows the steps the artist took to creating a sculpture. The Glass Ceramics video shows that glass can can be use create art. The one thing i found very interesting was that the had to break the glass and put in back together like a puzzle piece to create a window. Making of glass includes sand and fluxes that a heat 1500 hundred degrees. that was very interesting to me to find out.

How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

The films and the book are similar but i believe the book give more information. the video goes in depth about the artist view which i found very interesting to watch because it made me understand his point of view and how that came be. The book goes more in dept to creating a sculpture and giving examples. Both the book and videos gave very different view point on the topic but all came together in the end 

What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics: Sculpture, Installation, and Craft?

In my perspective i liked the video of the artist Emanuel fillion because it gives me an artist personal perspective of creating a sculpture. He took many steps in which he fallowed to creating and restoring art. The film was very in dept and informative.   

 Review of Aliyah Jackson 

Project 1
http://artwithaliyah2.blogspot.com/2017/09/project1.html

 The images that were displayed showed a very unique way displaying the elements.  I especially like the photo that she displayed as rhythm with the group of dancers i though that was creative and i wish i had incorporated something similar to that into my project. Their was a comment on the post i did agree with although the project was good it could i have a little of the outside world in it to improves it overall. I also like the chicken and the man who where used to show proportion which i though was a little funny but overall represented it very well.

 In Project two their wasnt much said but i do like the painting she captured. The painting that i like the most was the Bruce Nauman Human nature /life or death (1983) i agree with her when she said that it reminded her of home because it reminded me of Manhattan new York with all the light ll around you in the night time.

In the Project i really like how she demonstrated the elements in her project, especially the vacation trip picture that was use to display proportion which i though was an excellent way to show that element. i find her project very unique and i  wish i had incorporated something similar to my project.

 the images that was captured in the picture was represented something from the artist  samantha was able to capture that within her writing. The picture with cinema by George Segal was a very unique photo andi like itcause it shows a little rebel spray painting it.
