Module Five - Project #2 Art Gallery Visit #1

A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?

"Cow" by Andy Warhol made an impression on me while there. It made an impression me, because I am a fan of pop art. The painting turned out to be very beautiful in person. I really love the pink cow overlaying the purple background.

"Sweet Dreams, Baby!" by Roy Litchenstein. The insinuation that someone was being hit by a fist and the POW!" which is usually seen in comics was very cool.

B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?


I mainly felt a connection with the pop art selections. As said previously, I am a fan of pop arts in general. They are fascinating, interesting and fun to view. They are also based on things we see in our everyday lives. Pop culture icons, etc. Fore example, the Marilyn Monroe piece by Andy Warhol. It's an iconic piece and one of my favorites. I also really love the Campbell's Soup Cans. Another one of my favorites to view when visiting the Albright Knox. 
C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?



I would like to know more about "Fire World" piece by Karel Appel. The painting looks really interesting, and upon first glance, I thought it appeared to be two red dragons on a canvas.

 The Gustave Courbet. It looks interesting. A beautiful cave and a body of water leading into it. It seems mysterious and enchanting.

    I thought the same thing about Gustave's work! I want to know where he got his ideas from.

Module Four - Art Making/Material Exploration #1: Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory Blog:

Image
1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.     - Creating the scale was fun, but confusing. Confusing, because I wasn't sure if I had got the colors correct when mixing. It was also interesting to see all the different colors that were able to be made just by mixing them together. I've never made a color wheel before, so this was a nice experience getting to do so. 2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?     - The painting and color wheel. I enjoyed that much more than the other, because the colors intrigued me and it was my first time making one. I've done a value scale last semester in my Drawing I class, so I wasn't too excited to be doing one again. 3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?      - The most important discovery throughout all of this was the mixing of the three primary colors to create the one in the middle of the wheel. ...

Module 16 - Blog: Reflections of AED 200

1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met? My expectations for this course were somewhat met. I was expecting to do a few drawing projects, art gallery visits, etc. so they were met in that sense. However, I was not expecting us to do blog postings and such. 2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your intial posting? I would define Art as someone's individual creativity or creation. 3. Who was your favorite artist in your original posting and who is your favorite visual artist now? If there is a difference, why do you think so? If you have the same favorite artist, why do you think so?  Andy Warhol was my favorite when I initially posted. Now, I might say it is Roy Litchenstein. I've began to enjoy his work a bit more of the past few months. 4. Now that you've completed this course, how do you feel about taking an online course? Is your answer the same as it was in your first p...
