Music Videos

This music video challenges the norms of music videos as Tyler runs through a stream of consciousness and does horrid things for the purpose of art. There are no cuts and the camera is focused on Tyler. He basically tells his story and how he feels about everything. The use of silhouetting is pretty interesting as well.

Television

This show feels like a reality TV show in that it supposedly takes couples through houses to get great deals on them. Unfortunately, the show is fake because it requires that the couples already secure a house beforehand.

Time and Space

This is one of my most favorite movies ever.

Time Lapse

This video shows Macon at around 2AM.

Photography: Art vs Not Art

The top photo is from the Civil Rights Movement and documents a moment in time. The bottom photo is a long exposure shot of the stars over the lake solely for the sake of art. Easily, the technicality in taking both pictures differentiates each photo; the top was snapped quickly for the moment whereas in the bottom, the artist took hours setting up the shot.

History of Photography

The invention of the daguerrotype was very important to photography as it presented the first personalized photo that people could keep with them and relish in their narcissism.

Hermeneutics

This quote is placed on a chalkboard denoting a pedagogical approach to teaching the meaning of meaning where the word meaning has many meanings. It is almost satirical. 

Art 21: Fred Wilson

This piece from Fred Wilson is very inspiring and insightful as it highlights the struggle and suffering of African Americans throughout time. Also, it signifies the idea of the loss of identity as each black tear drop has eyes.

Semiotics

The sign is the idea of quadrupedal motion presented by both the rhino and the car. The signifier is the rhino and the signified is the car. Without the rhino being the basis for the car, the signified concept would not exist.

Art in the Park

This piece is my favorite piece of the park since it is interactive and is dynamic with a pyro element. Also, because of the materiality used by the artist, the snake browned due to the rusting from the natural environment. I believe that the snake is an interpretation of nature and its beauty and how humans have affected so much that nature responds with backlash in the form of fire.

Ways of Seeing: Ideology

Both pictures are from an album and mixtape, respectively. They are by Childish Gambino, my favorite musical artist. The pieces are different perspectives of a setting and rising sun.

Ways of Seeing

Cubism

This piece falls into the category of cubism due to its use of a collage and showing all objects from all angles but from a stationary perspective.

This collage of photographs belongs in the cubism movement because it shows all points of views of all objects from a stationary perspective.

Gender Bias: Guerilla Girls

This post by the Guerilla Girls is so true because it seems that all women nowadays are naked in music videos.

This image is definitely a gender injustice towards women as it denotes that women are the sole contributors to cleaning a household.

Art 21: James Turrell

James Turrell's art really interested me as he seemed to be attracted to the idea of rendering an interactive two-dimensional space in a three-dimensional world. It seemed to break the barriers of science as he subtracted layers to make it seem that the sky was juxtaposed right into the ceiling.

Augmented Show

My favorite exhibit from the museum was the microscopes and their utilization to create art. The idea of utilizing a completely scientific apparatus to photograph dust from museums around the world and the explanation really hooked me. In a sense, I felt like I could make art out of anything.

Form: Roger Fry

Rhythm of the Line: The artist creates a three dimensional perspective from a two dimensional piece through the use of the separation from the colors and lines.

Mass: The mass of the piece is presented by the width of the lines and the amount of different colors found in each polygon.

Space: The spacing helps provide separation and promotes a sense of depth.

Light and Shade: This is the most important part of this piece as it draws heavily on this to assist in creating polygons with depth.

Color: The colors used seem random but are all representative of placement on the spectrum. No two similar colors seem to touch each other.

Form: Josiah McElheny

The form of this piece denotes a style of repetition formed from one layer and the manipulation of light to create an illusion that expands to infinity. This art is scary in some aspects as we see the sheer scale of the ethereal realm presented to us, but it flows into the darkness.
