New year, New Color!

Color, color everywhere! Today, we were on a quest of color. We searched for diffrent implications of color, by how and why it was used and also by compairson.





Contradictions of color? I think so. As depicted by "Love puppy", Love and red go hand in hand. It stands for the beating of a heart for some one, the love one has for an adorable puppy, and the love for good food/drink. But, the "Jersey Devil" (Vicky happens to be from jersey, and happens to be wearing a devil suit. haha.) Depicts red as a dark evil color, connection to satan and obviously no love for puppies.

The Pictures them selves stand strong, "Love puppy" Has the feeling of love- a lighter color scheme. Red white and and a large heart give the feeling of light lovely feelings, not to mention the puppy just makes it all the more cuter. "Jersey Devil" Red and Black combine to give the darker feel and over all idea of evil or bad(ass-ness).

Color can easily contradict its self, by its several meanings and uses through out daily life and marketing too.

Squareish patterned lines.

Doing the Sol Lewitt piece, following directions in a specific manner, although it contains random qualities produces an interesting piece. The Lines seem like they want to connect and make closed figure patterns, but because the line options are chosen at random, there isn't very much connection. Whats nice about Sol Lewitt installations is that there are different results every time depending on each persons interpretation of each person. I was expecting a bigger project. Ive worked on larger Sol Lewitt installations and this was very uneventful for me. Probably, this piece was meant to force the viewer to find the connections and make them mentally since the piece did not.

Begin:

Grab a partner.

Go out side, find a grassy spot.

Cross hands and hold them tight.

Look at each other

Spin.

Spin until you cannot spin any more.

Repeat until you cannot spin, or as you see fit.

Ahh, the spinning about at high speeds. Watching Mia and Maggie spin about, was interesting. The point of the proposal was to concentrate on the spinning, the feeling that comes about it and be unconscious of the problems around you.

Doing the activities, most of it is very basic and the general ideas of the mundane in a more higher sense.

Interesting...

-Fluxus-
A group of people that thinking the idea of every day actions is Art, although it being mundain and of the every day, its something we dont think of and is life.
-Gutai-
A commonly heard sound, standing alone, common and always heard, its used as art. Finding the the beauty of anything.
-New Realism-
Taking reality to a new meaning, these artists recycled the reality of everything, the basics and turned it into art, beautifying it.
-Dada-
Art of which isn't art, its more of a statement of the time during the WWII and making art (that wasnt art) that went against the rules of all traditional artists.

To me most of these art forms seem the same, all of them rebelling against the traditions of the classical art forms and opening up the ideas of art. Really, its all the same to me. Art is everything, and everything is art.

Noodly Apdendages

It was hillarious to watch Amanda just break out into giggles as i made each face. But Half of the time i barely made one. Am i just funny? or funny looking? Probably. I'm too short, my feet dangle from the chair. I tend to cross my feet always while sitting in a chair. I wonder why? Maybe from all the years of sitting in the posture chairs and not being able to put my feet on the ground. Hm. I like to run after things. Kind of like a kitten after a butterfly. My hair does this wonky wave on the left side something random i noticed while looking in the mirror. I think its because of my moms wavey hair and my dads straight hair. Would explain. I go on strange rants and interesting dialogues, i mean, they all make sence, but I don't speak fluidly, or at least of what it seems. My shoulder hurts, it always has for a while. I love the idea of infinity, its kinda cool to see how i was able to still see Amanda in INFINITYVISION. I cant draw infinity symbols. I noticed that i walk up the stairs with my left foot pushing me up, that would make sence on why theres so much stress on that side of my hip. I crack my hands a lot. I tend to space out quite a bit while writing. I wonder a lot. I use a lot a lot.

Is this right?

freakin' urinals.

Duchamp,to tell you the truth, i think was a bit out there. With the Bride, he thinks that its a sexual comedy. My question is, how in the world he thinks that's in any way sexual. Its more mechanical and robotic, but i assure you NO SEX. NONE. ZILCH. NINE. NONE. This is more abstinent than a nun! Although, i do see how he did pave the way for pop, minimal, performance, and Kinetic art. I mean, the way it moves is actually quite interesting. But where ever he thinks he can get away with calling his art sexual? Off the pipe my friend. I really kinda think the way the "bride" Moves is kinda nifty, reminds me of those kinetic movement videos where there's this cool domino effect and its with house hold items.

Geometrical.

Floor tiles are awesome. Bringing better life to floors and in nice ways. most individual floor tiles are solid colours and then are placed in random order or in geometric designs. Occasionally, the Tiles wil hae a painted on design when its fired.


In windows, stained glass is placed with geometric shapes and are placed in such an order that shows a scene such as in churches or justa nice design.
