Week 3 - Art & My Major

If you complete the project, include photos or video of what you created:

  • What was your original idea?
  • Did it change as you went along? How?
  • What research did you have to do?
  • How did the execution of the project go?
  • Was your project successful? Why? Or, why not?
  • How do you feel about the finished project?
  • What would you do different next time?
  • Do you think your Major/Career can be enhanced by thinking about Art?
  • How can Art enhance or empower your Major/Career?

The original plan was to show that medication changes genes in order to improve the health of the body. No, the idea didn't change as I went along with making the picture. I researched some ideas that are related to biology and art, and I saw the DNA molecule and the idea popped up. Since I don't have any color pencils at home, I decided to use the technology available to me and drew it on my iPad. I think my project was successful because it shows that medication only alters a specific part of your gene, not all your genes. I wish it was more colorful, but I'm not an artist so I'm satisfied. For the next time, I want to show the pathway that medication takes throughout the body, but that would take some time. I do think that my career can be enhanced by thinking about art because it makes you consider the tiny details rather than just the big picture. Art can improve my career because if someone that isn't in my field were to see some art regarding it, they might be able to understand what is being shown.

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? How are their ideas or processes or media different? Eduardo Kac -   The GFP bunny - he took a rabbit and implanted it with a green fluorescent protein found in jellyfish, when it was placed under a blue light would glow bright green. He made this piece to show that the nature of an animal or plant can be altered. 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...

Week 2 – Artist – Tom Sachs & Johanna Fateman

  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...
