1.         For the first video there were a lot of key concepts about sculptures and how they create their work. I learned that the creation process of a sculpture includes clay, bronze, limestone, and marble. There are multiple different ways an artist can go about making their sculpture, but they cannot put their ideas to life if they cannot imagine it in their head. The sculptures start off with the idea and they get put on paper and the process goes on from there. 
For the second video, I learned about the creation of glass. The video went over the process of mixing the glass, how it is blown, shaped, hardened, and reheated. The color and design is very precise in glass. The different tools were discussed along with techniques artists use. 
 

2.         The videos relate directly to the reading in the text because they both go over different forms of 3d art. Along with talking about clay and glass, the text focus’ on carving, the creation of human figures in sculptures, working with time and place, metal, wood, and fiber. The text goes into detail on how each of these elements works and showcases different artists work in that field. It was interesting to see other examples besides clay and glass and learn the history behind them.

3.         3.The artists add depth to the topics of sculpture, installation, and craft by going through the in depth process that is unknown to most people. Before watching these videos, I did not know about any of these processes but now I am educated about them. The ideas in these artists’ minds need to be formed into the final product. My opinion of the videos was positive because I was very informed with material I did not know about. The videos truly made me understand what exactly goes into the modeling of glass and clay.

2.         I believe the imagines that she picked out were well done and had multiple art elements in them. All works of art include multiple elements, so some of her imagines including the colorful square piece, the fire, and the buildings cold of been labeled under other elements. I do agree with her decisions and where she located her pictures. Overall I enjoyed looking at this project.

3.         There are no photos that are the same as mine but they are awesome works of art. I read all of her explanations of how she categorized the art and I agree with the way she did this. She seems to have deep connections with some of the art and I learned a lot about the pieces from her descriptions. The reason she picked them were the same I picked mine because art can affect people in many ways but it makes you think more about the piece.

4.         My favorite image that she picked that I truly connect with is the piece from an artist named Nana. She described the piece for being mixed media and how it relates to a girl growing up in todays society. The idle body type being described as mixed media because it shows the connection between them. I would love to know more about this artist and what she was going though to have a piece like this.

5.         I honestly did not think this advanced my learning but I did enjoy reading and looking at her points of view on different pieces of art. The process of looking at their work and analyzing them was interesting.

6.         I liked reading what the class thought of my work. I put a lot of time and effort into this class and its refreshing seeing that my hard work pays off. I also liked getting their advice because I will use that for my future projects.

2.         I love the images that she picked out for her project because many of them has the same nature theme and as a viewer I was able to pick and choose which elements I believed belonged to each work. The nature theme was a creative idea and I will definitely think about doing something like that for future projects. Overall, the pictures were great and she had good photography skills.

3.         I loved her art gallery images as well because they look very professional and put together. None of her work was the same as mine. The piece that made the biggest impact of me was Kill Yourself. She was spot on with her explanation and it event gave me chills. Its crazy to see something be so fun and happy but have a deeper and darker meaning.

I thought that creating my logo was a fun experience that I would not of done if I was not taking this course. It was interesting brainstorming what I wanted in my logo and how all my ideas would assemble. This assignment brought out the more creative side of me by letting us have the power to create anything that we would like.

In the logo creation the first thing I thought of was to create something that would stand out. To establish multiple elements of art, I wanted to have a pattern in my logo along with an attention grabbing bold piece. I than decided on using my initials T L P along with a floral like pattern since I enjoy bright and vibrant colors of nature. It took time to incorporate them all into one piece that flowed but I believe I made it work.

The most important discovery I made during the making of my logo was color selection. I did not want the colors of the pattern to over power the color of my initials but I wanted them to smoothly flow. I avoided dark shades and went with complementary ones that suited the overall theme of my logo.

The videos and other information provided were a great starter to understand what logos really are for. They need to be a staple piece that stands out and sets yourself or your company apart from others. There needs to be recognizable factors that will catch the eye and stay in the viewers minds. This all plays into graphic design and the advancements that the art world is taking.

Untitled (Dropped Ice Cream Cone Oil Derrick)

From Notes 1968

I feel a strong connection with this work of art because it reminds me off all the times I have seen myself and others fail, and melt away. The dropped cone represents failure and the times you did not reach your full potential. These moments happen throughout life and are unavoidable.

2. Artist- Charles E Burchfield

Title- Winter, East Liverpool 1927

Oil on Canvas

Scale- human scale/eye height point of view

I have a connection with this painting because I have experienced the dreariness that winter brings. The town painted looks gloomy and depressed. The gray clouds and constant snow fall are not uplifting factors and suitable for positive living.

This painting is extremely interesting and I would love to know more about who the fish exactly are and why they are affecting the couple on their wedding day. Are they signs of the past or present? Are they good or bad?

This painting has a lot of hidden messages that one does not have answers to. From looking at this woman you can tell she is rich but in distress. I would like to find out about her social status and personal life to find out what exactly is causing her to drive herself mad.
