POST #21 INKBLOT

 In this inkblot I see what appear to be a ballerina who is dancing. What I also notice is that the head is replaced with feet. Everything seems to be symmetrical in the inkblot. My subconscious also tells me that the feet may not be feet at all. It could possibly be arm sockets that were not connected to the waist and shoulders of the male/female ballerina. The inkblot may also show that it could be a dead flower that is dying. I like this particular inkblot there could be various interpretations of who or what is in the inkblot.

What is the Dada Movement? Well  technically  it is not a movement at all. Artists during the time of World War 2 didn't approve of the war. They decided to make a joke of it and developed "not art" artworks. This had an affect on people in that time . They also decided to call themselves Dadaists, some may ask "What is Dada?" Dada doesn't mean anything, weird huh? Their artworks were weird and soon it became normal to non artists. There are many artists who was involved in Dadaism, one in particular is Jean Arp. He made his work based on the movement. Here is one of his works..

Jean Arp made a collage with blue and white squares of different sizes. People were fascinated with this. They have never seen anything like it and was curious of how it was made. There are numerous of artists that produced works that facinated others.

   It was an exciting experience when I first started to work on my portrait. The process was fairly easy as the class and I worked on it. In some ways it was a challenge, I had the opportunity to mix colors to create shades and tints. My art teacher also guided me through the process. I thought that my portrait would not turn out the way I saw it in the photograph. I took time out to produce a picture that I later enjoyed. I have never made a portrait of anyone before. Famous artist paint as well, often times I would see street artist do the same thing. I wished I had the talent to do the same, now I had the chance and it was amazing. I will conitune to paint and create more portraits in the near future.

POST # 18

This is one of Russ Mills illustrations. In this work of art colors are being used. Such colors are green, metalliac, grey, black and gold. The woman in the artwork seems to be focused on something important as she stares. The artist wants the viewer to notice how the woman is in a somber mood. In the background there are clouds in the sky. Everything seems to rush right past her, I can interpret that there is a possiblitity that she doesnt want things to past her by.

POST # 17 LA VIDA SOBRE PAPEL

 This is an artwork curated by Dolores Mercado, it is called La Vida Sobre Papel. In this artwork Dolores goes deeper into the social aspects that is related to the world.

SOCIAL: The artwork it seems to tell us about the culture by the different varieties of flowers on this woman's blouse. She is part of the Mexican culture.
POLITICAL: I can infer that the woman is part of a lower class society.
RELIGIOUS: The woman seems to be meditating about an issue that is very serious.
INTELLECTUAL:From the artwork it doesn't seem to point out any intellectual aspects. Do you see anything?
TECHNOLOGY: There is no technology involved in this work of art.
ECONOMIC: I don't see anything related to any economic status.
       Reflection: The theme of the artwork is about violence, also relating to love, and Mexican culture.

Post #16 Carrie Mae Weems

 This is a photograph that Carrie Mae Weems took on October 17.2009 for The Museum of Contemporary Photography. In the picture you can see a woman and what appears to be her daughters playing cards. Quality time is spent with each other in the room. My family and I also spend time together surrounding in each other's comfort. We enjoy each other's company, unfortunately when the day ends we must say goodbye. The mother is watching her girls enjoy themselves, yet she also seems to have her mind on something else.

POST #15 Banksy

This one of Banky's works of art, in this photo we can see that a maid is obviously cleaning. What is also interesting is that not only is she cleaning she sweeps the trash under a large sheet. This gives a conceptual statement that most people tend to keep issues hidden from others. Most people don't want to unveil how they feel and or what is bothering them. I have seen this photo before and it has always caught my eye, as people walk by it I also wonder what they might be thinking. The maid is trying to be a innocent as possible so no one sees what bad shes done.
