My journey

These videos were interesting to watch because they kind of helped me get a better understanding about what my project should be. These videos gave the theme of different types of art in each and talked about the main points; like abstract expressionism and conserving art. These videos helped me get ideas and were interesting to watch as well. They helped me understand better about my style and my project, which made me enjoy watching them

I selected the videos Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art and The Art of Henry Moore. The first video was all about the main concepts of expressionism and pop art which was really interesting to learn about. This video really contributed to my knowledge of these topics and was very detailed. It went through galleries and showed many examples of expressionism and pop art. The second video was about Henry Moore and the art he produced. It shows his most popular art work which was really interesting. Learning about his style in art was really interesting to learn about. Both of these videos were really interesting to me. They talked about many of the same concepts that the textbook did which I felt was important.

The title of the exhibit that I chose was Courtesy of The Artist. This exhibit had really unique and interesting pieces in it. It was a lot of everyday use objects made into art which was really cool to look and and try to interpret. The walls were either dark or light being colors of dark grey to white. It really added to your view of the piece. The gallery was really smooth to walk through which added to the experience. All of these pieces were fairly close together and all seemed to be part of a common theme. Each piece that I chose was made out of different materials, but were similar in a way that they all used items that were commonly used and put together in a unique way. The gallery was set up very interesting, it almost set you on a path and put you right where you wanna be. This gallery also had an overlook which was awesome to look at the artwork from a different viewpoint.  This piece is called Big Mama and is by Melanie Fisher in 2016. This is a very interesting pie...

I selected the Expressionism video and The Impact of Cubism video for this blog. I chose these videos because immediately they interested me making me want to learn more about the given topic. The Expressionism video talked about what expressionism is and how it used color to emphasize emotion. The Impact of Cubism video talked about it talked about how cubism was one of the most influential styles of the 20th century European art. Both of these videos were very interesting and really contributed to my knowledge of expressionism and cubism. These videos talked about the main concepts of cubism and expression like the reading did as well.

I chose three inspiration ideas that intrigued me most. I found the ideas that I picked to be kind of elegant and beautiful. They were small and did not take up most of your face. All of the masks that I used for inspiration included different shapes and patterns through out which I liked. The mask that I overall decided to create used colors, interesting shapes and a lot of contrast throughout. I really liked to create this mask because it was mysterious in a way. I picture someone wearing it to some type of ball and it left an element of surprise as to who is underneath. I thought this project was really interesting and i really challenged myself.

I chose the videos called Buddhism and Hinduism for this blog. I chose these videos because they seemed very interesting topics to learn about. The first video was about Hinduism and its architecture and art. This video talked about famous art like Kandariya Mahadev Temple and its significance which was very interesting. The second video was about Buddhism and the spread of Buddhism and its architecture. One thing that this video talked about was the Borobudur Temple and its significance. Both videos were really interesting and showed me just how important architecture was to Hinduism and Buddhism. These video talked about similar pieces of architecture like the book did. These videos taught me a lot about different cultures and what is important to them.
