Week 2 – Art Activity – Zines

What were you going for with your Zine? How successful do you think you were? What made your zine work or not work? What would you do differently next time? Can you think of other zines you might like to make someday?

My goal with Zine was just to explain all the thoughts that I experienced during the pandemic and as a person of color.  I think I was able to recall and say everything that made me mad or scared during this year. My zine was just my thoughts that's why it worked because there was no right or wrong. Next time hopefully I was some color pencils. If I had to make another Zine I would most likely do it about the life of a child of immigrants.

Week 3 - Artist OTW

Show a few samples of their work and discuss what they’re doing, how they work, and why you find it interesting. Compare and contrast your artists. What things do they have in common?

I found this interesting because he wanted to show that if life is more than just what nature makes, it can be changed without harm.   Genesis - he implanted base pairs of genetics into an unspecified bacterium. This piece of work was to make a statement about inherited change is not the only option. I found this interesting because most of his work involves change that can be done besides inheritance.  Stelarc -   In this piece, he had his body be controlled remotely by elect...

  Compare and contrast – discuss how each artist works. Can you characterize any core ideas or concepts or working processes for each artist? Give examples of some of their work and describe what you think they are trying to say with that work. How do zines fit in with their work? What does their work mean to you? Does it strike a chord with you? Or is it too different from your life experience to relate to? Or is it a different that affords you the chance to think about things you haven’t thought about before? Johanna Fateman - she seems like a free soul that brought attention to girl power, her work seems more like hobbies as she moved from one to the next and never really seeing one through for a long period of time. She showed her beliefs through writing, music, and as a producer. Although she did change her job she still showed the same message that women matter. ArtaudMania!!! The Diary of a Fan was the first piece of work where she was openly able to express everything she w...
