Blog Post #6 - Memes and Art - The Pepper Spray Cop goes Viral

Memes is not art because they just copies from other people but the creator is.

i think  the creators of these images want to makeing personality for their idea. It shows the police officer who is brutal.       I also think it is a part of "art for social causes"
 

It is a new creation of artwork because they give the picture new meanings.

  Themes :    Toulouse - Lautrec to expand the treatment of tone, more free range of lithography. His brush strokes became more simple and more unified aircraft. Sometimes the ink spots, great texture on the surface rich. In his poster, he combined with planar images. He realized, posters, if you want news of the success of immediate and powerful impact on pedestrians. He designed this in mind.

I like this painting because the painting is very nice, and also the person looks like thing that I usually do.

Blog Post #5 - Reader Response Mini Essay

 1   I really agree with  "art can create empathy". when different people see the same arts, they have different feeling because they have different experiences, education, background and so on. Therefore, we enjoy arts should think deeply. Sometime, we should try to feel that what is the artist situation, and think about what are we feeling at the same situation as the artist. Because the arts is not as words as clearly, so we usually have different emotion. Also, the same person has different emotions when he/she sees the art different time. A art can including  thousands words. We usually can understand a part of the arts. For example, Mona Lisa, the painting gives people different imagines. As a result,  art can bring you  empathy when you try to understand the arts.

2  I  agree with Barr too because usually there is no word can describe to other people what your emotion or something else even you are a good writing, specifically you have different experiences and background. For example, west people believe dragons symbol evil, but in Asian, people believe that dragon is a kind of powerful  gods. Asians draws dragons always with holy emotion. therefore, West people and Asians drawing dragons are very different ways.  As a result, we can  get feeling form the paintings but not words. Like when we saw a word "dragon". Different people have different emotion about this, but the painting, we can get the almost the same emotion form the painting of the dragon's eyes or some parts. In addition, we can catch more emotion with our images about the dragon doing.

EGYPTIAN ART
 1 Tomb
 This is   Mastaba Tomb of Perneb.




Period:   Old Kingdom
Dynasty:

Dynasty 5, end

Reign:    reign of Isesi–Unis

Date:

ca. 2381–2323 B.C.

Geography:

Egypt, Memphite Region, Saqqara, Tomb of Perneb, Quibell, Egyptian Antiquities Service

Medium:     Limestone, paint

Dimensions:  H. 482.2cm   (15 ft. 9 13/16 in.)

In many societies graves are covered with mounds of earth and stone. By the beginning of Dynasty 1 (ca. 3100 B.C.) the ancient Egyptians had transformed that simple scheme into a formalized building type that Egyptologists call a mastaba (from the Arabic word for "bench"). The typical mastaba of Perneb’s time was built of stone or brick. Its shape was rectangular, and its height roughly that of a one-story modern house. The roof was flat; the sides were inclined and most often unadorned except for some architectural articulation around the doorway and an occasional inscription along the top and corners. To serve the needs of larger communities, great numbers of mastabas were arranged in rows, forming veritable "cities of the dead.

                                                                                2:
Sometime after the death of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut (ca. 1479–1458 B.C.), her erstwhile co-regent and successor Thutmose III (ca. 1479–1425 B.C.) ordered the destruction of all her images. Thousands of fragments of smashed sculptures were excavated by the Museum at her temple in Deir el-Bahri in the late 1920s and reassembled. Twelve of the reassembled works are exhibited here, re-creating the splendor of temple statuary that was destroyed three and a half millennia ago.

this is a simle chariot which is asian art at metmuseum,org. according to to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's.

     There are four parts of a larger set. For the two-wheeled chariot, it was separeted two standing. they used a simple two-piece which are hollow in the center.  Because of that, "the curved back and chest, muscular haunches, and bony legs are all vividly captured; arrowlike recesses in the otherwise smooth body help define the joints."

  About the color designed, long ears, wide eyes nostrils, and open mouths of the deer were accentuates by red pigment.

AMNH paper (BP #3)

          There is a model of ancients hunting. It is a cliff. The ancients were driving buffaloes over the side. They wanted driving buffaloes fall down of the cliff. Then, buffaloes die or injured, ancients killed the injured buffaloes. Finally, they would get meat form the buffaloes. That was a part of hunting. A group of buffaloes could not stop at momentary when they were running, because behind buffaloes could see what happened at front, behind buffaloes kept running, they kept push front one, all front buffaloes would fall down of the cliff until last few buffaloes.

      

        For the ancients’ hunting plan, they surrounded buffaloes, one side open, and that side is ending of cliff. Ancients hold up wolves’ furs. It made buffaloes scared. Scared buffaloes run fast and kept moving into the pitfall. Therefore, if buffaloes could not stop, they would fall down and die. However, a group of running buffaloes could not stop at that scared moment. That was a perfect hunting plan.

       I was shocked at beginning when I saw the hunting model. As their plan, ancient used least resources to get most gains. They used buffaloes’ way to kill buffaloes. I admire that eye for an eye, especially for the buffaloes. Ancients’ hunting as natural artist, they are wonderful workmanship excelling nature.

        Furthermore, ancients used different traps for different animals. For the big animals, like leopards, they make woods as a cage. And there is a small door. If a leopard or other big animals into the cage, the cage door are closing. For some animals which can’t jump, like wild boar, they using woods making a half circle wall, and there is a huge wood that will stop wild boar go back out of the circle wall when it into the trap. Ancients using tools bust. In art way, the traps are still beautiful. Some things are square, and some traps are circle. It is balanced. I think there some traps as well as variety because I saw the same skill in the TV.

                                          
 










               I really like it because it drives us using our knowledge. Learning and using together, that will become more useful. Book just is a book even it is an encyclopedia. When we use knowledge from a book, then the knowledge will belong to us. Other ways, we learn today, then forget next day. How sorrow is it!

Practice Post #4 - Evaluating Art

Artist: van Gogh

Formal evaluation: van Gogh uses a big brush. there is a big "space" at main of the painting. 

Contextual evaluation: van Gogh intense spirituality and religious zeal, his generous, ardent, and sincere disposition, and especially, his violent and enigmatic illnesses and suicide at age thirty-seven have all contributed to powerful and often inaccurate myths that can obscure a clear understanding of the important painter.

Expressive evaluation: this paiting uses opposition colors to highlight representational. iconography
  un scale. 

Blog Post #2 - Cave Art 101

last week in class, we reviewed about what we road,and than we painted  pictures of community because we are living in the community, maybe that's easy for us using drawing skill. However, my group didn't get the point. We were separate it as person by person, that was first time, so we will learn more in future. whatever, it was a really fun class. mixing the chalk and charcoal because these can make colors that what colors we need. Crisco in here worked as glue, but it was more natural like that ancients did at lone time ago.
...................................................................
Form first three chapters, I learned many new vocabularies and ideas. using space, depth and perspective that can make painting look likes 3D.  there are many ideas to use color: hue, complementary, shade, and schemes. Furthermore, painting can be representational or non-representational; also it can be abstract or iconography  .

Blog Post #1 - What Is Creativity?

Perpetual motion machine。

 

When i was child , there was usually cut power(electricity) even present day. I remember a special recall.  It was a hot night. My electric fan run and run. Suddenly, everything was stopped. no light , no wind.  At that time, I thought if there ware some wind-driven electricity generations, and then using electric fans blow  electricity generations. Final i got power. How wonderful is it.  that can be my first won creativity.

         However, that is impossible.  It is against the ability conservation theorem. But  people still try to find a way that  is bottomless ability. 
           Now, my knowledge is growing up. I have a new idea about  perpetual motion machine. 

 i do not try yet, first reason is i haven't enough tools. second reson is  that 
   can people really  broken ability conservation theorem?
