Art Assignment Final Project

My final project is based off of the Quietest Place on The Art Assighnment. This challenges you to go for a a walk to a place where you live and find the quietest place and once you’re there take a moment to take a photograph from the location. I believed this challenge would be interesting because I live in Winter Park, Colorado currently so it’s can be pretty populated during the day even tho there is a pandemic. I ended up getting up and leaving my house at 4:00 and walking to a certain location before it started to get noisy. I had walked and walked till I got to my location at 5:30 I than sat there and waited. It was peaceful and quiet and I waited till the sunrise created an alpinglow & the moon was centered near Byers Peak at 6:00. The entire time I was there I didn’t hear a car, person, animal, or even wind in the distance. I was extremely majestic and I would definitely do it again! I hope you guys enjoyed my work and stay safe out there! Peace ✌🏽

Project #4

I decided to make a time lapse of me working on my final project. Over this quarantine I have had to adjust a lot of things in my life but it hasn’t been all bad. Ive actually had time to focus on creating art and finding new styles of art I like doing. I just recently starting creating dot work drawings and have found it so therapeutic so I thought it would be cool to show the process of working with a bunch of small little dots to create this. I really enjoyed being able to have a free pick art project for this assignment.

Overall, I really enjoyed this class and feel like I learned so much about art and the types of art that I want to work with. Before this class, I didn’t know how to make any time of video art and now I am incorporating video editing with my other forms of art I like doing.

Project #3 Performance Art & Artist Statement

I won’t lie I kinda struggled with this project. I continued to start new projects and ideas that I got half way through and felt unhappy with and scratched it all. I decided the main thing I wanted from this project was to express my emotions from all the craziness that’s taken place over the past few weeks. To do this I wrote a poem that encumpasses a lot of what’s been going on around the world and used that as the audio of the project. For the film portion I took various videos of all the shops and restaurants on south broadway that have been boarded up. Growing up these establishments have been a deep part of my culture so seeing them boarded up and shut down brings a deep sadness to my heart. However, I feel hopeful seeing all the wonderful art that has been put up in their place. I recorded myself speaking the poem in my garage, and recorded all the video on my iPhone 6 using the splice editing app so it’s not the best quality but I’m also posting my poem to read if you have trouble hearing me. Enjoy!

Day by day blending together

Blending fruits in my diet so I can live forever

Never thought I’d see the world in such disarray

Hoping my loved ones and I make it till May

Maybe we’ll be okay and I can stop all this stress

But my grandmas 83 and alone through this mess

An introverts dream is what my brain keeps telling me

But after week three all I can think is fuck being solitary

Only so many dramas I can watch on tv

But each news stations coverage has me ready to scream

I get so much satisfaction from the bubbles and suds

Washing away dirt but leave my hands cracked with blood

what kills me the most is the those left to lie in dread

Who the fuck wants to die alone in a hospital bed

Please don’t get it twisted I’m keeping high hopes

Love how even in distances we’ve all grown so close

Let’s keep that mentality even when this is all over

And meet at restaurants and bars that have been boarded for closure

I know that right now life seems dark dim and damp

And we all feel our houses are getting too cramped

But use this time wisley to improve your mental being

Do yoga, make art, write down everything you’re seeing

Because eyes can wander and our minds can get lost

In the stresses of things like how much will rent cost

But If there was ever a time to value things other than wealth

Spring 2020 is where we finally realize we should treasure our health

Project #3: Performance Art

The concept behind my piece is really focusing on enjoying the mundane moments. We are so so busy all the time that it’s easy to get lost in the speed of life. Making breakfast, drinking coffee, and sitting down to create some art has been peaceful in times of extreme chaos.

I personally liked working on this assignment in quarantine because it made me realize that a lot of things we do everyday can be artistic depending on the lens you view it in. It’s important to try and use this time to focus on things that make you feel happy when there is so much devastation and sadness going on in the world.
