Week 5 - Art Activity - Drawing

 

  1. Post your 6 sketches
  2. Was it fun? Frustrating? Do you like to draw? Will you ever try again?
  3. Do you think if you practiced for 100 hours, or 1,000, that you would get a lot better?
  4. What is your major? Can you think of ways that simple sketching could be useful in your major?
  5. Is Drawing a Language? Can we say things with drawings that are hard to say with words?
  6. Name your blog post: Week 5 – Art Activity – Drawing
It was kind of fun but also frustrating having to erase and start over when you didn't like it. The mirror image was the one I kinda gave up on because everything I was drawing was not to my liking. No, I don't like to draw because I'm very picking about my assignments. Personally, if I had a choice I would not try this again.  Of course, anyone that practices would get better at whatever it is such as sports or dance or whatever you can think of. My major is biology, something that can be useful in my major through drawings might be images of DNA or RNA strands. Yes, drawing is a language you have to know the basics in order to excess in the language, you need to know the culture and emotions in order to completely understand. Of course, drawings can be used to express words or emotions that one is too scared to say out loud the first time.

Week 3 - Artist OTW

Image
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

Image
  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...
