Art Project 4: One Minute Performance

Title- Sometimes

Sometimes I want to talk with an accent even though I do not

Sometimes I want to stare when I should not

Sometimes I want to live my dreams when I can not

Sometimes I want to yell when no one else would not

Sometimes I want to cry when I must not

Sometimes I want to be me when I ought not

Sometimes I want to ask for help but I could not

Sometimes I want to laugh but I have not

Sometimes I want to tell a stranger they are beautiful when I know I will not

Sometimes I do it anyway

Poem by Andrew Cline

Pulling the trigger can be hard. Even if its just to get outside and see the world. well done!

Artist Statement 3

The main idea of this video is to show the different ways in which our former president mocked, humiliated and discriminated against people from all around the world. He is seen ignoring questions and talking bad about refugees and other countries and citizens. I think it is ironic to see and hear a president not care about his people or other people that are in need of help. He says he has so much money but then refuses to use it in order to give and provide resources.

I struggled for a long time about this piece as well as many other pieces in this class and other art classes. When it comes to “artist’s choice” assignments, especially by the end of a semester, I question who I am as an artist. I ruminate on every little detail trying to think of an authentic piece. Am I doing this because this is an idea that I want to or because this is what would get me a good grade? Is this my style as an artist? Do I have a style? Am I an artist? Is this the right path for me? These are the questions that come to mind with any assignment I do related to art. These are my insecurities about this path that I wish to continue down because, in the end, I love this.

My idea for this was to express that feeling of uncertainty and anxiousness by tying a pencil to my hand with thread. I drew 1,000 lines. 500 of those lines were done of my own volition; the remaining lines were done by someone purposefully going against the established pattern by using the string tied to my hand to guide the pencil like a puppet.

I think this was a great performance art. I love how the model is smiling the whole time just like a doll. It really brings me back to my childhood or playing with barbies. This was a great idea!

This is such an interesting performance! I knew exactly what you were trying to convey through the video. The creepy/funny tone is emphasized by the colorful hair!

Artist Statement 2

My series of ten gifs all relate to the common theme of emotions and the way we handle them. Most of them are from step brothers as that movie is one of my favourites and also has a lot of conflict and a variety of emotions that are displayed throughout it. My gifs show mainly fear, anger, and frustration.
