2nd Assignment

when i was watching art 21last week in class, there was a particular artist i was interesting in his name is Mark Bradford. Mark gain a lot of inspiration from his mother salon as a young child, in one of his pieces he use old banner signs and prices from the salon to create his big piece of paper showing u all of the different signs with each one representing something different in a room with mirrors on one side an the banners on the next. Also he did two films in one room, one is showing a political view due to the fact that they are celebrating an event an the police is their and the other film has muslims and there family in a big market celebrating with their families, with no reason to be protected by the police.

what i like about his art work is the fact that he try something new with out known how it would work an how it would affect people being that it is something about his childhood, and that this would be something more interative with others. The use of media was paint, flyers, glue and a bigggg wall... loll, the use of colors is another aspect of it because it shows the feeling about it.

The Hunting of the Snark

The hunting of the snark is a poem written by Lewis Carroll in 1874. At the age of 42 he thought up of this poem being that it would be a humour the impossible voyage of an inconceivable creature. So basically the plot of the poem is that after crossing the sea guided by the Bellman's map of the ocean, a blank sheet of paper, the hunting party arrive in a strange land. The Baker recalls that his uncle once warned him that, thought catching Snarks is all well and good, you must be careful; for, if your Snark is a Boojum, then you will softly and suddenly vanish away, and never be met with again. With this in mind, they split up to hunt. Along the way, the Butcher and Beaver, previously mutually wary for the Butcher's speciality in preparing beavers, become fast friends, the Barrister falls asleep and dreams of a court trial defended by the Snark, and the Banker loses his sanity after being attacked by a furious Bandersnatch. At the end, the Baker calls out that he has found a Snark; but when the others arrive he has mysteriously disappeared. 'For the Snark was a Boojum, you see'.

well i couldn't find the actual poem so i just did a little research on it and basically this is what i found, and i will try to see if i can find some more research on the poem, and blog about it by Wednesday.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
Frida Kahlo 

ok there is two things i official hate to do drawing portraits and art history -__-...loool, but even though i hate those things some what of it is very interesting especially when it comes to the expressionism side of it. For example i like the approach that Frida has to her work inturns of her expressive backgrounds with the monkeys and also Pual Cezanne self portraits. The way how he applies his paint and brushstrokes are quite interesting along with the tones, pastel colors and join from light to darks.

These are masquerades mask, often use in a event called masquerade parties are mardi gras. Basically people use them to hide their identity from other people (whether it covers only the eyes are the entire face) due to the fact that the want to have excitement without the person knowing who they are... So this masks are my inspiration for my next pieces of the project and also the idea behind it. well i think the choice of materials is what makes this more fun, the different textures and composition on how each face has a different expression an also tones and values and the fact of it the color schemes that go back with the concept behind it with it is suppose to be scary, sexy are just a simply piece of a costume 

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

Picasso Pablo
 this is a very true statement because each tie as we grow as an artist, our skills and techniques change as we develop am learn more about the different types of art.

when i happen to but up on this on the internet my mind was like literally wtf .... i swear it was actually the building of itself not a painting. But want give it way that is a painting was the fact that it was a temple are some sort of art history museum  and on the side is like a cafe. Again the colors go back well with the direction of sunlight, the side and cracks in the building, and  the most realistic part of the painting is the human that perspective on how he/ she is looking in the building makes you as the viewer that it is a real person when really that is part of the painting.... that is just sick  

This building interest me and also affect me in a lot of ways. One of these ways is the architecture, i happen to think it is the most spontaneous pieces of art i have ever seen in my life( an literally i have gotten the chance to see it with my own eyes on my way to disney). I mean the layout, the colors, the structure and the plans on how to do the sigh and still designing on how to get the old and demolish look and effects on the entire building. The only problem is that i never got to see the inside :( , but i believe that  on the inside just has to as beautiful on the inside with its structure.
