For my third part of the final “Art, a Gift to Explore Your Identity”, I decided to paint the Bona shield mural seen on the side of The Burton. I titled this piece “Once a Bonnie, Always a Bonnie”. From my house (even my bedroom window) I see the beautiful mural everyday. I wish I could have this view forever, and the memories of living right next to it will last me a lifetime.
For the second part of the final “Getting Your Voice Out There in Public Places”, I decided to do some chalk artwork on the Bonas trail. I wrote “Do What Makes You Happy” because it is a quote I live by and think is very important. I used yellow and pink colored chalk because I believe those colors to be fun, lighthearted, and positive just like the quote.
For the first part of the final “Connecting to the Earth”, I was inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. I call this piece “Stick House”. I thought that the sharp lines of the sticks were perfect to create shapes with lines like a triangle, rectangle, and square. This piece also made me think about how some of wildlife actually finds home within sticks.
For my Surrealism assignment I created the “2023 limited edition carb purse” by Il Nicastro Lavazza. This designer purse is made with a top quality Italian Barilla pasta box, a classic American minute rice box, and a Rummo pasta noodle as the latch. This emphasizes the “carbohydrate” theme. I also used the string from garbage bag as the string for the purse. This item listed at $845,000.
This is my pupped named Cass! She just loves to dance. 💃🕺She enjoys listening to Maroon 5, hence her song choice. Cass also likes to chill at the pool with her friends which is why she had me film her there.
I used Michelub Ultra tabs to create earrings this week. They can go through any normal hoop earring, or go on a simple stud if secured well. My friend Paige was nice enough to be my model! I think she slays these earrings 🫶🏻
For this week’s art project ‘Futurism’, I envisioned there being an invention that can both drive on the road like a car and fly in the air like an airplane in the year 2060. I drew a more cartoon-like version of my idea, choosing markers and colored pencils for my medium. I also pictured that this invention will be able to drive and fly by itself and not need human action.
For my Cubism project, I utilized a broken High Noon can I found outside my house in my front lawn & a gum wrapper. For my medium, I used markers doing random shapes & marks of all different colors. I had to rip off a part of the can & it got the paper wet so I decided to use that & make the smudge marks.
For my assignment, I chose to paint my roommate, Abby! Abby is one of the sweetest people I know, so I decided to paint her portrait with angel wings and a halo. I chose to exclude the background of the picture, and instead change it to flowers. Abby loves flowers!
Gracie I love this piece of yours!! You did a such a wonderful job representing Abby’s personality :)
For this week’s Fauvism assignment, my best friend Paige was kind enough to pose for me. I decided to use warm colors like purple & blue to represent how Paige is a warm, compassionate person. The orange & reds were used because I wanted them to depict her bright, bubbly, & humorous personality. Lastly, I chose the touches of green because of how lively she is. Paige has so many qualities & personality traits that make her an amazing well-rounded person & friend!
For my assignment, I decided to use my friend Cassidy as a model. She is beautiful inside and out. Some of the ways that Cassidy does not conform to society's beauty standards is with her nose piercings, and I think they are super cool.
Interview Questions:
"My advice for the future generation is to ignore the beauty standards that are set on social media. It is easier said than done, but it is important to remember that every picture on social media can be edited and it most of the time is not accurately representing what is actually going on. Social media only highlights the good parts of people's lives. It is also important to not compare yourself to others, each and every person is beautiful in their own ways."
"When I was younger, I feel like I used to wear things and do things to try and fit in, thinking that people would like me more. I wasn't happy during this time because I was not being myself. The way to truly be happy is to be yourself and you will find the right people who love you for who you are. Once I realized this, it became easy for me to not be influenced to be someone I am not by conforming to beauty standards."
"Today, I am inspired by Selena Gomez. She was always one of my favorite celebrities since I was younger watching her on Disney Channel. She often states that she is taking breaks from social media, and I think that is important for everyone to once in a while take a little break. With all the drama going on around her, she still remains a polite, beautiful, and kind soul."
I love everything about this! Selena Gomez is someone I am inspired by as well <3
For my assignment, I chose to paint a scene from the Disney movie "Tangled." I immediately thought of this scene because it has so many beautiful colors in it, and thought it would be fun to recreate!
Gracie I love this art piece (and Tangled)! The use of colors in your painting are so lively and beautiful, great job :)
For my painting, I chose an animated filmed called “Up.” To capture Van Gogh’s style, I tried to create dimension in the sky by using different blues as well as white paint. I also tried to make the balloons look swirled by combining them and outlining them!
Autumn I love the brightness and color usage in this piece! It radiates good vibes. Good job :)
For this week’s art project assignment, the highly saturated & fantasy-based environment that I chose to depict was the yellow brick road and Emerald City from The Wizard of Oz. I thought this environment fit perfectly for the assignment, and The Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite movies. I used paint as my medium and focused on my brush strokes being noticeable like Van Gogh’s.
I chose to recreate a picture with Kim Kardashian because she is one of the biggest celebrities, you won't find many people who don't know who she is. That being said, it is a big deal that the people who are being watched by the public like that are photoshopping basic muscles out of their pictures. People might not realize what is real and what is photoshopped and it can give viewers an unrealistic and unachievable form of beauty.
I think when photoshopping was beginning to be popular, people were using it to make their waists smaller, which I still don't think is okay. But now, people are using it to crop out muscles that wouldn't even be thought to be smaller. It is perfectly normal to have shoulder muscles and I think it is wrong for Kim to act like she doesn't. I decided to depict my picture like this because celebrities are going to far with their photoshop and when will it end? When their is 0 fat or muscle on their bodies and are showing bones?
Bridget I love this art piece of yours!! I like how you accentuated the shoulder to make it super noticeable. I also enjoy your reasoning behind your art and I agree with everything you said about unrealistic and unachievable forms of beauty. Great job!
The pop culture moment that I wanted to focus my painting around is body image/body dysmorphia. I picked this specifically because I think it is something that is prominent in our culture due to society’s beauty standards and the exponentially growing use of social media. Those with “body dysmorphic disorder” or BDD can truly have their quality of life effected negatively due to how it makes individuals view themselves. Mental health can be severely impacted by body dysmorphia and cause thoughts of self harm or suicide.
While our society has made steps to be more body positive, there is so much more to be done. Our culture for years has had individuals comparing themselves to others and obsessing over the way they look— hoping to meet a beauty or body standard. In the United States, body dysmorphia affects 2.4% of the population.
Midterm:
For my midterm painting, I chose to depict part of a controversial fashion campaign by Balenciaga. Their campaign featured children and teddy bears dressed in BDSM gear. The ad also included a copy of a document from a Supreme Court case that decided virtual child pornography was protected by free speech. This campaign received massive backlash and lawsuits which followed by a large apology and retraction of the campaign by Balenciaga. I chose to paint this because I think it represents how large of an issue sexualizing and exploiting children is in our society. Even one of the most influential fashion brands depicted inappropriate images with children that is very disturbing.
Although our "woke" culture has come a long way in a variety of areas, the protection of children in our country is still failing. This campaign would be seen by millions of people and the fact that it was not shut down before it was released shocks me. I think it shows the lack of awareness and disgusted minds that still control huge influential businesses throughout the world.
Nora- this was such a great choice of what to focus on for your pop culture moment. I agree with everything you said about how although our woke culture has come a long way, there is still a lot of work to be done. It truly shocks me too that advertisements or campaigns of which are obviously offensive can still be released, when it is clear that they are approved by many people before published. It’s crazy how brands and people with such influence can release such things. You also depicted the teddy bear very well and I like how it’s almost zoomed in a bit for detail!
