blog extra credit
I unfortunately joined the class in the second week and did not post a blog but did submit a drop-box. I know I said the reason I took this class was a requirement for my major, but I was also interested in art. I truly didn't expect to learn as much as I have or to enjoy it as much as I have. Therefore, I must say my expectations were not only met but surpassed what I expected. I am pretty sure my favorite artist was Joan Miro...again, I didn't post a blog. I will say he is still my favorite. I loved going to the Albright-Knox museum and actually seeing his work. I have always loved his art, before I even knew what it actually meant...but I have a new appreciation for it. Now I can look at the prints I have and understand what the shapes mean and how they correlate to each other. Art to me is an interpretation of a person's view of what they see. I love there are so many different ways to express the world around us. I love Realism for what it is..what you see and everyone else sees, but I am more drawn to the different views a person can show us about those things. I love to see a person's imagination, and what a better way than to physically see it. I love online courses. I am not one who fits well with regiment or requirements of attendance. With online courses I am in charge of making sure I do what is required when it is required. I always search out online courses for this reason. I don't feel we learn less, I feel we learn more...it is more one-on-one than a classroom of students. I enjoyed this course and learned a lot from this course.

Blog of peers exhibit
I can honestly say I watched everyone's slide show. There were a lot of great ones! I chose Andrew Reeds exhibit because I really love dogs and was anxious to see the images he included. The biggest challenge for me was, and always has been, how to phrase my sentences and put my thoughts into print. I have never been the best writer...too boring and simple. But I must admit that after all the writing we have done in this class I feel I am a little better! I just started writing and rereading and rewriting until I was happy with it. Andrews critique was easy to do because I thought he did a great job showing our love and admiration for our dogs. I couldn't really see anything to critique his exhibit except his font, not because I didn't like it, it was just hard to read sometimes. I would like to read my peers critique of mine, although I think I might already know what they will say after seeing some of the other exhibits! I will give my article a 7. I think I covered all the points...just wish I was more eloquent. I really enjoyed this project and learned a lot more than I thought I was going to! I admire female photographers, especially at the turn of the century when men dominated this art form. I even want to buy some of the prints to hang on my walls!

week 15 video blog
This video was an interview with a prominent art critic, Greenberg, during the Modern Age movement. He described how he changed his view of critiquing art over the years. He explained how he had to let his own preference not decide what artworks were good or bad. He explained, just like our book , that after the World Wars there was a boom in the art world due to a boom in the middle-class in terms of money and culture and the freedom of art from the upper-class and the elite. He pretty much stated he didn't really care for Abstract art but realized it's influence on the 40's and 50's era. He didn't believe history had much to do with art, all that mattered was whether the art was good or not and he believed Abstract art was good. I haven't decided yet who I am going to use as my art critique, but this video definitely opened my eyes to the possibility that good art is good art. If a prominent critic can say he has changed his views over the span of his careers, then I can keep an open mind to everything i see.
The third video was An Introduction to the Italian Renaissance. Tere were so many things discussed in the video that we discussed about our readings. We talked about the ancient Romans and the way they incorporated nature in their artwork and the fall of Rome and how the artwok of ancient Romans was in a large part destroyed. The travel East by the Romans brought the Byzantine era and we learned the strict guidelines of religious subject matter only. We also learned of Giotto and his contribution to the rebirth of ancient Roman ideas, once again focusing on real people and nature and depicting their surroundings. I really liked the way the video introduced each artist and his unique contribution to the Italian Renaissance, such as Giotto and the architecture he included to show perspective, or Ghiberti and his sculptures and reliefs carved with such depth...Donatello and his "David" sculpture in contrapossto, giving the sculpture the idea of movement...and Michelangelo's stride for perfection. I really like Ghiberti's ability to create such realistic and life-like reliefs on such tiny panels of the North Doors, 21 years is a long time to work on anything but probably not something you are so dedicated to. I am intrigued by the Italian Renaissance artists and love the diversity and simiilarity between them. This video reminded me of what we have learned and I hope to see some of these artists in some exhibits.
I think Greenberg has really changed his point of views over the span of the 40's and 50's to the 80's. He moved from deciding art was good because he liked it to art is good when it's good. He said art shouldn't have demands. We should look at the discipline of art. We learned about Pollock in our readings, and he is a personal favorite of mine. I think people were trying to hard to define his work and couldn't open their minds enough to see how revolutionary his work was. I think it's terrible he never really got the recognition he wanted and that made him an isolated person. I appreciate his need for departure from the tidy, boxed-in paintings prior to him.he thought people could think on their own, create their own "borders" with the interpretation of the piece...and he was right...just a little to early. I know a few people were using Modern Art as their theme and from my personal viewpoint I hope there will be Pollock's because i believe he epitomizes Modern art...but I also know I need to be a critic. I agree with Greenberg that good art is good art and I believe his to be.
The Colonial Encounter brought to my knowledge facts that disturbed me. To think that a group of people could be displayed in such barbaric and uncivilized ways is awful...even going as far as caging nude Dahome's beside the animal exhibit, as if they themselves were animals. It is sad they were used in images as violent to eachother and thus instilling fear to the Paris World Fair. But yet Algerians were displayed in an inviting and friendly manner just to drum up tourism to the French colony. We learned a great deal of the Afican colonies in our book and a little about the Dahomes, but the video definitely went more in depth by describing the people and their art. I am glad that we are able to see the artwork of these cultures without negative images misleading our view of them.I definitely doubt i will see any racial comparisons in any exhibit...which I am happy about. I would probably be the most hated art critic if I did!
Michael Fried and T.J. Clark discuss Pollock's work in the last video. Although they both agree apollock was a modernist master, they disagree why. Fried is leaning toward the aesthetic quality of his work , while Clark is more interested in the quality of art to describe the human conditions of the time it was created. They both came to an agreement that history is important in describing artwork but also it's quality. The challenge lies in the inability to describe Pollock's work. Is it more important to focus on what he has done or why he has done it. I myself find his work calming and full of energy at the same time and admire his lack of fear to try something new and escape from what everyone else was doing. This video opened my eyes to the ways of getting to the same viewpoint. Are we to critic the exhibit or the art chosen for the exhibit?
I saved the Critics video for last because I found it very hard to get into. I appreciate critics and their volumes of understanding of the subjects they are critiquing, but like to make my own opinions. I do understand they are needed to help people see different perspectives and to explain certain aspects of the work. A review is different from a critic's view in the fact that reviews are created to help people understand a particular subject, whereas a critic assumes his audience already knows the subject matter and wants to explain his feeling on the subject, to create an argument for discussion. Superior criticism involves critical thinking and an ability to write, and write and write. Critics work in genres. and sometimes genres of genres, such as music and country music. We touched a few times on critics in our readings and I did find it interesting to hear different critics talk about their different subject matters. I realize it must be a difficult job and realize now that it isn't just a career but a passion the critics have probably had since childhood. I also appreciate that certain critics can help an artist get the break they need to "make it". They do help weed out the mass-production of art, good and bad.

project 4
I was so confident with my original theme of contrasting Andy goldswothy and Isamu noguchi but I couldn't find any dimensions to Goldsworthy because he places his sculptures in nature, knowing that he makes sculptures that are made to be eroded. Then i went to photographs because my girlfriend loved Imogen Cunningham. Which brought me to my final exhibit...to explore women in photography. I learned so much about these women. What an amazing group of four! Julia Margaret Cameron was born in India and grew up in England, where she was a sought after photographer for the famous people in her era...and she didn't even pick up a camera until she was 48! Margaret Bourke-White was the first female photojournalist for Life magazine. She was also the first woman to be allowed in the Soviet Union after the war. She was also the only female allowed in the concentration camps after they were freed. She was a daredevil when it came to capturing the right photo. I love the picture I used as her self-portrait, sitting on the gargoyle of the Empire State Building! Imogen Cunningham is just fantastic. I love how much she changed her subjects, from dancers to artists to plants and later to nudes. She was a prominent photographer for 7 decades! And there really isn't anything I can say about Annie Leibovitz that her photos don't already say! What an amazing talent she has for capturing the soul of her subjects. I love to see her work. You can tell she has so much fun and so do her subjects! I am really happy with my exhibit. I am so glad I got to learn so much about these amazing women...I even want to buy some of their prints for my house...like Margaret Bourke-White's Cocktails on Gorky Street, moscow. The lines and perspective and composition are incredible! Oh No!! I just tried to look at my exhibit and realized all my Annie Leibovitz photos are gone! I am so mad!! They were there when I transferred power point to the assignment! I wonder if there are copyright laws that power point has to oblige? They were such great shots! I am very dissapointed!

weeks 13 and 14 video blog
I am so accustomed to defining art as something a gallery would display, but this video, The Lowdown on Lowbrow , really opened my eyes to the fact that there are many different types of art which are worthy of recognition. here is this subculture of artists who are not classified as "fine artists" producing amazing works of art and not receiving the attention they deserve. We can enjoy comics and album covers and posters for upcoming shows but yet they are not art just announcements or leisure activity. However, the talent required to create these should be recognized. I think it's awesome that this society of artists has come together and opened their own galleries so that those who appreciate this genre can enjoy it. At first i just saw cartoons and rockabilly posters, but when you really take notice you can see the immense talent in every piece of art. I love the use of the Polynesian Tiki theme and the classic cars and the 50's kitch that many of these artists use as their themes. I was, and still am, a huge fan of rockabilly music... like the Stray Cats...and now I am asking myself how much would i love the music without the artwork that coincides with it, making it recognizable to everyone whether they like the music or not? Lowbrow is an important part of our society and culture and should be recognized for it's contribution to our generation.
The video about the Tate Museum of Modern Art showed a dynamic way to display art. I like the four sections-landscape, still-life, history and nude. I also liked the artists displayed with eachother in juxtaposition, Not only can one admire the artist's work but also try to make sense of why they are displayed together. I do believe that art should be categorized beyond Realism or Cubism or Expressionism. So many works correlate with eachother even though they are from very different movements. It's funny because I posted my discussion for my theme before I watched this video but that is precisely what I intend to do with my display. I figured it gives the viewer more depth to each artist if you show two vastly different but similar artists together. We shouldn't be told what we are seeing. We should use our minds and our own interpretations with a little bit of history. That is art to me.
Bones of Contention made me think alot about what is a scientists viewpoint and religious beliefs. Where do you stop? I found it apalling archaeologists have been keeping Native American bones without permission. Pretty sure they, as archaelogists, know the culture and meaning behind sacred burials. The Native Americans were here first, we took over, and didn't treat them well. I am part Cherokee and can't imagine what my ancestors went through. I am so glad there are repreation laws so the remains that are found can have the proper burial so that person can move to the next level.
I have known the name Kodak for years and also knew Eastman was part of the revolution of making cameras accessible for everyone. I think it's amazing that the 50 room house he built is now his museum. I would love to see the 5000 cameras, especially the 1905 cameras. Not only that, but the Daguerrotypes that are displayed there. And to be honest, I would just love to see the 50 room Colonial house. It is amazing that Eastman made photography available to everyone and what he did for the film industry. David Hockney even said there has always been a way to project images...only recently was there a camera to record it.

Week 12 video blogs
I first watched Power of Art: Mark Rothko. I have seen his Color Field paintings and knew there must be artwork that he painted that were different from those, and there were. Surprisingly, our book barely touched on Rothko. Basically, we learned that he started the Color Field style and that he thinned his paint to depart from the color. However, his paintings were extraordinary. The video explains his pain and angst towards the modern world with it's pettiness and desire of consumption. He believed art should show human values, express human emotions, transcend us out of this world, help us escape. He was a troubled artist who struggled financially and mentally. He was commissioned by Seagram's, the liquor company, to create paintings for it's New York headquarters, more precisely The Four Seasons restaurant in it. He almost didn't take the job because he didn't care much for American capitalism, but decided to anyway. He was to be paid $35,000 in 1958 for his work, the equivalent of 2.5 million today. He wanted to create paintings that wouldn't invoke hunger but rather doom and despair and a feeling of being trapped. He didn't want them to enjoy themselves while dining under his paintings. He created the pictures we see today, like Orange and Yellow on page 499. After dining at the Four Seasons he determined that his work would never hang in that restaurant because he didn't want those kinds of overindulgent people to see them. He wanted his paintings to relate to the viewer. He wanted them to experience the same emotion while looking at them that he had felt painting them. His work prior to the Four Seasons murals were his Subway Paintings. I really like them alot. They are full of emotion and despair. The figures almost look scared and unsure, which is how he saw the people in the world. He took his own life in 1970 but left an incredible legacy and through his art a chance for us to open our minds and transcend to a different place.
The next video I watched was Andy Warhol: Images of Images. I think everyone, whether an art-lover or not, knows Andy Warhol...partly due to his use of iconic imagery and partly due to his eccentricity. He is most famous for his portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie Kennedy ,as we learned from his profile in our book. He wanted to show us how much we rely on mass-production and label recognition and did this through repetition of well-known movie stars and commercial products such as Coca-Cola and Campbell's soup. He chose to reproduce the reproduced items with the media silkscreen, which is itself a reproduction. He would allow the silkscreen process to manipulate the original image and allowed the flaws to remain, just as in mass-production. He became as famous as the people and consumerist objects he was replicating...a media sensation...just like what had happened to our society. That was brilliant. Great video and an even greater artist. Both the book and the video quoted his statement that if you wanted to know Andy Warhol just look at the surface of his work...there's nothing behind it. He created images of images of images, and according to him, nothing more.
I thought I had never heard of Isamu Noguchi until I started watching the video and saw one of his sculptures. It is the Red Cube on page 116. I really loved it's minimalist and modern style. I loved that it was outdoors among skyscrapers. I loved the color choice. It was interesting to see the many different types of sculpture he does. He said in 1933 he had a revelation that the Earth was a sculpture and started creating sculptures that recreated the landscape of Earth and using the elements of Earth as his sculptures, which he called garden sculptures. They were amazing. They were earthworks with mixed media of rocks and water and trees. Beautifully put together to honor the Japanese gardens he had visited on his travels. All of his sculptures are outside. he either carved them and placed them there or he created them from the environment. His carved sculptures are very minimalist and modern. Some he left as sculptures and some he made into fountains with designs cut into a large shaped rock right where the water would hit to create another aspect of the sculpture. I loved the simplicity, not over-dramatic, just what is needed, as in Minimalism. He, like so many of the artists in our readings, was aware of space, both the object itself and it's surroundings. He was accepted to the Guggenheim Art school in Paris but when he returned to America he was broke and creating Abstract sculptures that were ahead of their time and not selling. That is what led him to his garden sculptures and thus began his career. He was commissioned to update Bayfront Park in Miami, 26 acres, and after much fight with the council over funding even got them to tear down a perfectly good library and other buildings because they weren't aesthetic to his design! That is dedication to the arts...and especially his.
I knew of David Hockney as a painter but not as a photographer so I wanted to learn more. I have seen his California paintings and his use of bright vibrant colors. I knew of his realistic yet Pop style in his paintings that were also Expressionistic because he painted them subjectively rather than objectively. He made parts of Los Angelos that most found drab and gloomy look perfect and beautiful. I was very taken by his photograph collages. He uses many different pictures of many view points of the same object and puts them altogether in a sort of Cubism style, but without losing the original image. There is no confusion in his final work, we are just able to see the whole image taken through a camera lens, which you couldn't do by simply standing in front of the subject and taking a picture. He is very aware of space and movement and wanted to show that through still images...and how do you do that? With many different photos put together to create one. he was able to take the limited amount of space offered through a camera lens and restore it to it's whole glory. I called it Pop even though there really is no use of commercial labels or comics, but because of the bright colors and settings he used. He has overcome what many artists have tried to accomplish...to show space and perspective in the natural sense on a one-dimensional plane. What an interesting artist and a great video.
