Reflection

I really enjoy this course. Definitely meet my expectation and more. At the beginning I think in less interaction with art for the reason of be online course, but no we have the experience to visit galleries and know a lot of different artist. Now I think art is everything that a person can create for demonstrate their filings. I the beginning I didn't have any particular artist in my preference but know I like Picasso and now I have more interest for know more about him. Taking a online course is the equivalent of more of the work that we have in a regular class. I definitely gin to take a online course again but having a balance with the traditional.

self-portrait

I select this particular work of arts because the two paintings represent real women. I feel the nature of the photo make an impression in me. The other don't have a real face is very interesting work ,I choose that one because is different  I use charcoal because that is the first thing that represent myself I always have a pencil on me. The first challenge for me was make the sketch, its hard when you want to said everything in just one portrait.  But I try to go very simple and just be myself. The portrait represent my self-showing how simple can I be. I use value for this portrait. Was real fun make this self –portrait. I think my final work reflect myself.

 

13 and 14 week video review

The video Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach, talk about the intellectual and aesthetic issues associated with the display of art, using rooms in the Tate Modern as case studies. The exhibition style Alfred Barr established during his transformation of MOMA in the 1930s, the video shows how Tate curators developed a new method utilizing theme-based museum sections. I like when they mention Critics that Tate Modern's thematic presentation of art requires that viewers have no knowledge of art. They believe art should be more than entertainment. That give me confident to create my project. In the video An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan they talk about the  tenure of Mr. de Montebello guided the acquisition of more than 84,000 works of art, demanded innovation in conservation techniques, and oversaw the doubling of the physical size of this world-renowned cultural institution.  In the video The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art they explain what is lowbrow. Its influences include comic books, B-movies, rock ’n’ roll, surfing, hot rods, and Cold War imagery. Art historians call it Pop Surrealism; practitioners call it Lowbrow. With dozens of artist and gallery curator interviews, along with hundreds of examples, this program chronicles Lowbrow’s evolution, its iconoclasm and often antagonistic relation to Abstract Expressionism, as well as the rise of female artists to its forefront. This videos help me to create my plan for get start in my project. They guide me to understand the purpose of the project.
