Focus Question #3
Contemporary artist are extraordinary human beings. They showcase their talent through todayâs current events. They show us the real use of propaganda. They show us the ugly truth behind our government and society. They can make something beautiful and ugly to what their heart is content of todayâs political news. They are one source of media which most people may think they are using their talent for different uses. There are so many types of media that we rely on but never may look at contemporary artist and their meaning behind it.
As a fashion designer a lifelong vegetarian I have come to realize the dark and bright side of animalsâ role in todayâs world. There is never-ending torture happening to animals because they donât have a voice to speak up. We as human take so much for granted and that we do inhumane things to animal. Therefore, the fashion industry is one of the leading cause of animal cruelty. I as a fashion designer want to make an awareness to people what animals go through to become a handbag or shoes. I was reading an article on PETA that ostriches were being taken to the slaughterhouse to be made into Prada handbags. My heart was depressed over the weekend and thatâs when I came up with idea of doing the WPA poster on the Prada handbag case. I did choose to the shadow of an ostrich to make it feel like thatâs what the handbag is represented into. Why the Prada purse is mustard yellow because that is the first purse color that came up when I looked up âPrada Ostrich Handbagâ. The words that I choose are âChoose Compassion Over Crueltyâ because Compassion is worth more than cruelty.
I really loved Mariahâs WPA poster because it had a very deep meaning behind it because humans poach animals for their fur, skin, tooth, and horn. Which will be sold to be made into profits. I think that is very horrible because if anyone is religious, I thought that animals have the right to live on this planet as much as humans do. But I think humans were the only beings that are causing destruction throughout this environment. We humans are using up all the resources that come from this planet. Once the resources are gone, then everything will be too late to do anything. And due to animal cruelty we need to do something before our future generation will not be able to see animals or see how beautiful the earth is the wat it is.
This was a very fun project to do and I really had fun doing the "sky" because I saw an image in the Art Building that looked so very "cool" because the colors were so relaxing and calming. I used a plastic paper bag which was very thin to dab the paint on to the canvas. For the white stars, I learned this technique on youtube, where you take your paint brush with paint and take another paint brush to make the stars.
The Adventure of The Golden Watch
Once upon a time, there were 4 classmates. These classmates decided to get together one fine day and go on a treasure hunt in Detroit, MI. What were they searching for? A watch, but not just any watchâŚa GOLDEN watch. Now, this group knew this would not be an easy task because this particular watch was guarded by a frog that seemed all too happy but in secret was very evil! As you can imagine, there were many obstacles. First, the group encountered a roaring and very dark tornado. Next, the heat became so blistering that it was unbearable. Thankfully, the group had come across enchanted baseball caps that would provide them protection from this unbearable day. After all this adventure, the group realized they were famished! They were on their way to nourish themselves at a fast food restaurant. On the way to said restaurant, they were SO hungry that they ate the first thing in sight: exotic and colorful flowers. Once they ate the flower though, they noticed an odd effect. They started to see dots which lead them to âZenâ.
The Tonal Values
Grid Portrait When I first heard of the project gird portrait I had mixed feelings, because I did do a grid portrait but that was during high school. The grid portrait I did was on a celebrity and wasnât my face for the portrait. After I saw the PowerPoint and how everyone incorporated different types of drawing I was excited to work on my picture. The finish product looked horrible. I think I had deformed my own face and canât recognize myself. The objective of the grid portrait was to do draw upside-down. It was hard to do because I wanted to focus on the grid lines. Therefore, also I didnât do the grid portrait in pen because Iâm not comfortable drawing with pen. But I would like to gradually start drawing in pen. I really wished I had put more thought in to the portrait so it would have come out better than the final piece that was turned in. I could have done a lot with the hair; inserted more complex drawings in it. I saw Ireneâs portrait and she used geometric shapes for her portrait where her hair was placed. There was another portrait that was really beautiful, the one who had drawn flowers in her hair. I was very impressed and shocked at the same time I saw her portrait; It was magnificent. This portrait was about the central theme âIdentityâ therefore, I was trying to identify myself within the portrait or in the background. I used certain imagery to describe myself or something that I found on the internet that I liked. For example, on from the upper left corner, down three squares, there are weird shapes of âType-like-Flowerâ, are dandelions I found on google, it looked very futuristic in the image on google. I thought they looked really interesting and decided to incorporate it my portrait. Another example, is how the watch and the music sheet are on my forehead, is because I am always thinking about how time is running so fast and how I like to be punctual with my time. The music sheet represented is how music is always playing in my head. Sometimes the music doesnât even stop and plays like a broken record in my head. I actually was watching Cinderella 2015, when I was working on the portrait, it was really fun doing art work when watching a movie. I felt like I was completely drawn to finishing the portrait and watch the movie.
Gallery Visit at Wayne State University
The gallery visit was my first time going there. For my first time experience, it actually felt like a real gallery visit as if I had to pay money. The art in the gallery was all beautiful to see, my favorite one was with the âHow does your world feelâ. It was a very interactive piece of art which I would never imagine to be. And the painting I had picked during our visit was âThe Landscapeâ. This piece was very abstract simple, also very calming. Simple things can be a pleasing thing to the eyes. The painting looked as if it had just finished raining, and I just wanted to grab a cup of tea and feel and hear the wind blow after the rain. Another piece I liked was the Childrenâs Swing. Everyone kept referring a sad thing, but it could have been that it was going to start raining or snowing and the children had to go home before a storm came. So it could mean many different things. All the painting was nice to look at, and gives an insight what artist are imagining in their heads and how they bring it to a canvas and showcase it to the world. It could have different meanings; it could be a happy thing or a sad thing. I hope I get to see more painting in the art gallery.
I actually did have fun doing the collage and self-portrait projects. The impression of the project seemed easy to me, but when we got into the depth of the project it was becoming harder for me to understand. But overall, it was a learning project. Therefore, looking at other classmateâs project I felt mines werenât the best. I should have worked more on it or made it more creative. The work does expand my understanding of two-dimensional composition, which something doesnât have to be three-dimensional; there can be a lot done with two-dimensional. I try to add things to that represent or mean something to me, and some things were neutral because they could be represented into something. For example, the QR code represents like a label, sometimes we wear labels to represent to ourselves. I wish I had a picked a certain theme for this project, but along the way the theme just surfaced. The theme I went for was âGreenâ and âAdventurousâ. The âOMâ represents my religion and how much I love to practice yoga. The picture I had picked, the ballerina represents me and the umbrella represents my dreams, so I came to this conclusion that I want to visit certain places. I really liked how everyone turns out; they definitely worked out the negative and positive space to the best. Some students used geometric shapes and other incorporated their selected represented picture in the collage like a masterpiece. I did need a lot of negative space in collage but I couldnât think how to incorporate negative space to my collage piece. My collage piece didnât have the exact type of grayscale because it was very scattered and the images I had picked for the collage piece were the same grayscale. But the Japanese flower used in the collage had different types of grayscale. The ballerina and the trees were darker but not enough to show. Therefore I felt like the images didnât turn out well either, because sometimes an image needs to have a darker background for more of the image to show outwards. However I do feel proud of how I worked on the project. It did give me insight how we can sometimes ignore the negative space when there is a lot of positive around or in portraits; and sometimes the other way around. I wish I can redo this project and actually have the negative and positive space put together nicely.
