images from images

I really liked my picture of the brain, bus and PS2. I thought i did a good job of connecting both the bus and the PS2 together with color and an image. While the two are connected well, the bold lines show they are different. The other project I made was more plain, but I still liked how I used different materials to make the letters.

Symbolic still life

My plan for the symbolic still life project was to pick 4 items i really liked and and arrange them on my 5th item. Used my computer as the base for all my objects. My other objects are my phone, ipod, glasses, and camera. They all relate to my themes because they are things that most people have to have when they were young. I arranged them very disorganized and crazy because thats what i feel like being young is like.

Opposites Project

For my opposite project I wanted to make picture frames that contrasted the pictures in them. Each frame would hold a picture that fit better in the other frame. I made the first frame be one meant to hold basketball pictures. Inside that frame instead of putting a basketball picture I put in a family photo. In the next frame that was meant to hold a family picture I put in a picture of a basketball team. This switch was meant to symbolize how a family is a team and a team is a family.

Youth

On your blog write a statement of purpose for the term using the following questions as a guide:

What questions can you formulate about your theme (at least 4)?

What is youth?

How does youth affect you?

Why do people try to hold on to youth?

Is youth dangerous?

How does your theme connect to your life?

I'm young and love to be around other people who are also young.

What kinds of images come to mind when you think about your theme?

Children, small animals, happiness, candy.

What kinds of art or visual information (advertising, tv, film) have you seen that relates to your theme?

Youth is a huge part of advertising, tv and film. All the characters are trying to act young on tv and in advertising they are always showing things that make you look or feel young.

Essential Questions

How do artists develop content and ideas for their work?

They play around with different materials and see what they like. They come up with a basic concept and then work off of that. The finished work rarely looks like what the artist had in mind in the beginning.

What kinds of techniques, behaviors, and habits allow artists to turn their ideas into meaningful works of art that engage the viewer?

They brainstorm all their ideas and then figure which one makes the most sense to make. Then they can look up pictures of what they are making.
