QOTW#15

Whats abstraction good for? Describe some of the reasons why artists might employ abstraction in their work?

• Abstraction art is a cool way for artist to express their creativity in their work, letting views have a vast mind set into looking at their art work, and some abstract art is neat because you can see continuous patterns or different sightings in their artwork.

What does having a physical space to make art mean for your process and how do you make your space work for you?

• Having a physical space to make art is similar to having an art studio, it’s basically just a environment or room that you feel most comfortable and like to create art in this area of space. For me i tend to feel more comfortable creating my art work in my bedroom or around my house or inside the art studio at Jessup, because at home i feel more comfortable and i can be more creative without judgement, and at school i draw more comfortable things in my comfort zone, and i dont mind people being around me when i create. :)

QOTW# 14

How does the location or context of a work of art affect its meaning

• It has a great meaning with more context of where the art piece was made, it puts more emotion and passion towards the art piece, and it can affect it in many ways.

Are there any particular activities that you do everyday as an artist?

• Yes i am always watching cartoons or television to help influence my ideas and i read books, i mainly get my ideas from inspiration off of other media, sometimes ill go onto social media to find inspiration too. My own dreams inspire my artwork

QOTW#13

What do you do to keep yourself motivated and interested in your work?

• What i do to keep myself motivated is I just draw what i enjoy most, i dont do it for anyone else i do it for myself and my own enjoyment and my growth. I am very passionate with my creative work.

Can art provoke, change, or transform our way of thinking? How?

• Art definitely has an impact on how it can make people feel or think, it ultimately depends on the work itself and possibly the artist behind the work.

History Reflection

I really enjoyed these videos because it opened my mind to a deeper and further inspection on how i see color. Colors are interpreted to be imaginary with the main cause to be sun light reflecting off of other materials that bring out color. In the first video I enjoyed the book they showed that Isaac Newton read, of how Rainbows are made. You don’t really put too much thought into color but this video did by presenting the experiments on color. In the second video, we are presented a book about an artist, Josef Albers, and how he became creative. A few cool facts i learned about Josef Albers were that he would grab scraps from garbage and use these to create colorful collages. I also loved how he found Mexico as an interest, as a latina, i really feel comforted knowing he enjoyed the beauty of my culture. and it’s colors. From both videos with each of the two different approaches (experimental and environmental), I believe both can be useful into learning more about the true nature of color. The experiments are more factual, while just staring at a colorful flower is environmentally useful and researchers can gain a feeling about color.

QOTW 12

How have the tools and materials of artists changed over time?

• well there has difinetly been hudge changes with tools and materials over time, especially with how theres traditional art making and digital art making. digital art started to be experienced in the 60s and since then is practically available to anyone.

What impacts do you think commercialism and the media have had on your work? is this good or bad?

• I am fine with commercialism and the media because when you present your artwork online you receive feedback and its your choice if you want to acknowledge it or not. I feel like this depends on the person, but for me I want to promote my artwork online to show others my skills and share with others tips and give feedback.

QOTW#11

What role does art play in our society? What role does art play in the church?

I feel like art has a major role in society, with art people are able to express themselves. Like in church, people can express art through song, video, or an art piece.

How do you want people to remember your work?

I would want people to remember my work as inspiration, ive been insecure about my artwork for a while but after meeting so many people like me i feel confident and have a lot of support from my loved ones.
