Scale/Proportion Project

[mckenzc4]

Emma’s group exhibition advertisement has the text “Blazing Summer” on the top of the composition. Below that states the date of the exhibition, which is “July 2020”. Additionally, the museum that is exhibiting these artists, MoMA, is listed on the very top of the composition in smaller sized font. The font of the text is very readable and is in black, which stands out against the light colors on the background. The background has various geometric shapes in blues and purples as well as oranges and browns. The cool colors of blue and purple remain at the top of the composition, while the warmer and brown colors are at the bottom. There also is some line used in the background of the composition, with the shapes having a striped pattern. The shapes use optical mixing, which creates depth and the illusion that the shapes are transparent and overlapping. The middle of the composition has two mouths, which look to be painted in watercolor paint. There is a connection with light from the sun highlighting the lips which connects to the blazing summer title. The bottom of the composition states the artists which are Emma Friedlander, Daniel Gordon, Lucas Blalock, and Ryan McGinness. There is no information about what the show is about, however it can be assumed that it has to do with the season of summer. It is interesting that the advertisement uses dark warm colors and cool colors like blue and purples to the composition, despite the title. It could possibly relate more to the context of the show.

Both advertisements have similar themes being the sun and summer. This second advertisement seems much more warmer and creates feelings of joy. The solo exhibition is called “Brighter Days”, which is written at the top of the composition in a yellow font. The background has a lot of texture with the watercolor paint in yellow shades. Darker layers of the watercolor paint on the outside frame the text in the middle of the composition, which is successful and draws the eye in. There are two suns depicted on the advertisement, which relates back to the title of the show. The suns are illustrated in watercolor paint as well, with visual brushstrokes that bleed and create a warm fuzzy appearance. The watercolor paint also relates to the other advertisements with the lips, which I think is interesting since both shows have similar themes as well. “MoMa” is written on the side of the composition in a bold black font that captures the eye against the warm background. The one critique I have about this advertisement is I think since the black font is so eye-catching, maybe the artist’s name or the title of the show would be better in this font. I feel these texts would be more important than the museum name, or possibly “Brighter Days” could be in black which would connect all the text. Both advertisements are balanced well with the proportion and scale of the compositions. Both are very eye-catching posters that have elements that relate to the show’s titles. I think Emma did a great job with both advertisements!

As Carly stated this is so well put together, a lot of time and thought went into this. I love how both ads have a lot to do with each other same theme BUT they have two different color schemes. I love how realistic these look and how she is representing other artist throughout the ads. MoMa is written on both of the ads to show similarity, and relate them together. I love how these ads representing summer, summer is such a great time, and these ads 100% represent them

Shirin Neshat - all of her pieces are very similar but I feel like this project is very powerful she did. Has a lot of meaning behind it by just looking at it

Barry McGee -- this project of his stood out to me so much due to the color he used in this project. This project screams red and I really enjoy it

Texture project, using several animal patterns. The only one that wasn’t used was peacock.

In this piece, I see a cute dog sitting in front of a grand piano with some sheets of music. The artist included both the thumbnail sketches of patterns and original reference photo in addition to the final piece. This work was done digitally, and includes a fair bit of negative white space, which I feel were both successful parts of the work.

Something that stood out to me was the fact that each texture/ pattern was based on an animal, such as a giraffe and a gecko. I admit, I had to look up some of these specific animals, as the patterns were so detailed and accurate, and some were based on very specific types of animals. This gave a whimsical feeling and added liveliness to the piece, as well as made the dog feel more real. While the dog is mainly shown through the artist’s use of negative space, the piano in the background is made up of these animal prints. That contrast between soft, natural, animal prints, and the cold, smooth, flat texture of a real piano is extremely successful in my opinion, and adds a lot of interest to the piece. Perhaps it would be interesting to see the dog in a flat, maybe geometric pattern to juxtapose the natural prints used in the background.

The textures used are found in nature, so they contain a mix of straight lines and organic shapes. The Atlas moth pattern is used in the sheet music which I thought was really successful, as it looks graphic but still clearly reads as sheet music rather than text or pictures. The majority of the piano, the part that is black in the reference picture, is shown using the African painted dog texture. I appreciate the variety and complexity within this texture, but the differences in value of this particular pattern throw me off. Looking at the piece as a whole, I think this pattern needed to be present because of the organic fluid movement it brings, but I wonder if it needs more black areas in order to look more like the original reference picture. However, the assignment was not to perfectly replicate the image, so I do not think this is necessarily a bad thing. Looking at it from more of a creative standpoint than technical, this painted dog pattern makes the piano feel alive and makes the whole piece feel unique and keeps the viewer’s eyes moving.

I believe the most successful use of these textures was in the piano keys. The artist used a Nautilus pattern for the white keys, and giraffe pattern for the black keys. These patterns created contrasting values, and since the keys were also outlined, this created a very realistic yet stylized rendering of the piano. I also appreciated that the pattern was slightly different for the part of the keys that looks straight at the camera, as it adds to the sense of dimension and realism.

Overall, this piece was very successful. The artist used animal prints to create a textured and detailed image of a dog and a piano, and frankly, this piece made me smile so that’s a big plus!

This piece is very inspiring there are different textures and patterns first of different type of animals which is super cool especially looking at them in black and white. There is so much to look at here first the dog is done so well I love how his face is with the cross hatching, and his eyebrows are very cool as well. What first grabbed my attention was the shade behind the piano. The pattern with in the “shades” or window blades are so mesmerizing to look at. The depth in there with the lines are so well done. The Piano is so well done one of my favorite parts about this project.

What I find amazing overall is how she incorporated the animal patterns throughout her project. That is inspiring to me truthfully this is just such a cool project to look at.  This is a very impressive project and very inspiring.

Color Heritage 

[kendalllynnbart]

This project is really important to me because it is all about my culture, and everything that has happened in Poland but also America. Both are very important to me. My dad is 85% polish so I do have a lot of polish in me to appreciate. I really enjoy polish food, so good. Poland also has a lot of color everywhere that is why I put a picture of colored eggs. Also I put the eggs to present most of the polish food I loves has eggs in it, nothing better than eggs. My favorite meal besides pierogies is Kluskie and eggs ( basically pasta and eggs cooked together) SSOOOO good. 

There is the Polish Flag i love representing my culture day in and day out I am proud to be polish my dads parents came straight from poland so I happily got to visit a few times when I was really young, too young to exactly remember my experience. I love representing my culture especially in an art project

Lucas Blalock- This piece stands out to me because it looks like a picnic table with banana’s and cherries in the back. This is very vibrant to me, and i love the illusion of seeing some of the banana but not seeing it fully. I enjoy looking at this piece because it is not traditional, it is different which is what I like about lucas his art is different than other artist.
