“Tire Store” a print by Paula Walter Hackeling is a great way to describe my LTMPno2 besides having a physical connection to to cars it can also be a great metaphor.The tires mounted on the wall and the garage itself can all be metaphors. Tires are the sacrifices or steps that need to be taken in order to reach your goals. While the shop are those who are around to help reach those goals
Part One:
Photo 1: Information: A woman has painted a circle, but is holding the two dimensional circle and it is being portrayed as if it is three dimensional. Tone: Serious and possibly sad (given the mostly blue color scheme and dark shadows). Reaction: The woman has taken her art and made it into reality.
Photo 2: Information: Two different shades of blue, side by side. Tone: Casual and simple. Reaction: Seems like two things that are labeled as the same thing, both being “blue,” are still completely different.
Photo 3: Information: People sitting around a series of paintings. Tone: Informal and relaxed, but with complex color scheme. Reaction: This is a very meta-painting, since it is a painting of people looking at paintings. I think it shows how everyone in the room has a different perspective of the arm from different angles and different points of view.
Part Two:
Photo 1 works as a vehicle for my film because it shows a woman having created art and then turning it into her reality. The woman holds the world in her hands, and it is the world that she has created through her art. This is an aspect of my film because I have worked to make the radio station I work for what it is today and formed my own “world” in doing so, and then I have made it into a significant reality in my own life.
Part Three:
This metaphorical relationship is relevant to my project because I have helped to create the world of the radio station like this woman in the painting has created the world she has drawn in her painting. She then is literally able to take something that she created in this idealized form, and pull it out of the painting and into her reality. I metaphorically have worked to create the world that I belong to, and have then taken it out of my metaphorical idealized painting, and made it into a tangible reality for myself and many others.
Seeing Metaphor
I found these photos in the section on social photography at the museum. I feel that they perfectly capture what I hope to discuss in my documentary and the use of black and whit in both photos provides a certain intensity and dramatization to the scenes captured. Unfortunately neither of the photos had information that could help further understand them and I don't know if they are necessarily related but that doesn't take away from their overall meaning.
In my documentary I hope to analyze contemporary images and notions of black identity like in the second image to those of the first. While both remain true in todays world, we tend to only be exposed to one, that being the latter image of crime and other racial misconceptions. I want to provide personal insight on my experiences of the less dramatic but equally as powerful social and family relationships of black and maybe latino culture.
Brooklyn Heights by Adelaide Morris.
Many people when the look at this painting, the first thing they seem to notice is the buildings. The first thing I noticed from this image was the empty roads. This painting is slightly gloomy, contains mainly dark colors, no people are shown and it is at night. At the same time I find joy in this painting by seeing the open road, the ability to explore and drive around. This relates to my project since I sold and bought a car the same day, it was a sad yet joyful day. Sad to lose my first car which I have grown attached to, but joyful in the sense that in return I got the car I always wanted. The metaphor/tenor would be the roads in the painting. Unable to see where the path goes or ends means there will always be more for us to explore, and there will always be an adventure waiting.
Coney Island by Harry Shokler
The information present here is a (seemingly) summer night at some type of carnival or on some type of pier where friends are gathering to have fun together and make memories with one another. The tone of the painting is light, carefree, euphoric and also presents a feeling of nostalgia. My reaction to the piece is that it reminds me of home because I am from a shore town where rides such as these are present on our boardwalk and it reminds me of nights there spent with my family in friends as I was growing up.
In regards to my short term media project I see this painting as not only a reminder of where me and my boyfriend both met (our shared hometown) but also as an illustration that home is where the heart is. In my STMP2 I will show my long distance relationship, and even though we had both grown up in the same town, I consider my home to be wherever we are together, and whenever we are able to live in the moment. The simple yet happy memories we share together (such as going to a carnival) help convey this metaphor.
Andy Warhol: Campbell Soup Cans
The painting was created in 1962 and was originally part of a 32 piece project featuring 32 of the same image. The image has a very “commercial” feel to it and is meant to represent the mass production in America as the 32 prints of the soup can is a symbol for the printmaking technique. In regard to my documentary, I feel like I can use this as a metaphor to how computer science is industrializing the commercial use of everything. The fact the the world is seemingly losing it’s creativity once we have everything laid out for us and machines to function in society. Automation and mass production will the future, in fact, its even prominent in the present. The 32 print of can will symbolize the new age of automation
Joan Synder: Acquainted with Grief
Synder is famous for creating abstract paintings that represent emotions and feelings that are in ways, very ambiguous. In “Acquinted with grief” however, the tone and expression is much more obvious with strange and dark nouns and adjectives written onto the painting in rather grotesque font too. The biggest word that stood out to me was anxiety. That is perhaps the perfect word to describe the emotions projected from this painting. This has become a symbolic message to my documentary as the strange ambiguity of the painting represents the unknown of our current state. We like to think that things will be better in the future but no one can really ever confirm that. With the age of technology upcoming, everyone is becoming unease. Recording devices are everywhere including our own cellular devices. We don't know their potential and that brings concern toward everyone. Yet that won't stop us from continuing to advance with technology.
Art
George Sagal American (1924-2000) Girl for the Whitney Museum
this artist has been acclaimed as one of the major American sculptors of the late twentieth century. creating this sculpture in 1979. His best known works feature human figures cast in plaster directly from model. This image shows a dark woman’s naked upper body who appears to be thinking.
This image can be seen as someone wondering over there own existence, certainly implying social commentary on the treatment of African americans and people of color. She could be pondering why the world made her this way. She is exposed without clothes to show a woman free of restriction and someone with nothing to hide. Her emotions and attitude are up to anyones interpretation
2. George Sagal American (1924-2000) The Old Testament Moon (1958-59)

This image possible showsthose with nothing, no clothes on there knees begging for either clothes, shelter or forgiveness. the are litterally kissing he floor showing there gratitude and there broken spirits.
Sal Sirugo American (1924-2000) L-6
This abstanct expressionist painter use certain colors and shapes to create one balanced image
“Field painting” was considered one of Abstract Expressionism’s most important achievements. Traditional painting depended on basic principles of composition. the placement of objects colors to create a pleasing, balanced arrangement.
A hidden treasure of the abstract expressionist movement, the painting can be seen as nothing, shapes working together to create an image, or one complete image.
One look at this painting and people just see black and white. Similar to my video people just see a man and his dog. However what they lack is the ability to see the blend of personalities working together to create a whole image. The monochromatic colors are complementing each other without any of them being dominant on the canvas. This is a good way to show my relationship with my dog.
This condensed, Alphabet soup is a metaphor for me trying to piece together all the new pieces of my life, while acclimating to my new environment and home here on the East Coast. Like the letters scattered throughout the inside of the soup can, they are reflections of the many goals I have in mind for myself, but CONDENSED inside my mind ( the can). The can is a representation of me as I present myself in a very simple and innocently plain manner, but the many components on the inside are what make up my identity and who I really am. I’m just a young girl trying to figure myself out while on the inside, my mind has many categories like the alphabet because as an aspiring performer and student ,I have many goals for myself and I want to try to achieve them all. Long story, short- I am simple like the can, but complex like it’s contents consisting of alphabet letters, liquid, and vegetables which are an assortment of foods that make this soup whole.
