...Focus Reflection & Evaluation Zamzam Ali The focus of my work in Unit 3 studio arts was Transformation. I refined my ideas in Unit 4 by focusing specifically on the transformation that occurs in individuals emotionally, including both aspects of outwardly emotion as well as those hidden internally. Although originally I was drawn to the subject matter of Emotions (mostly those shown through facial expressions and body language) by expanding and looking deeper into it all together I was able to be exposed and influenced by a range of other aspects that may not have been in my line of vision. By adopting the subject matter of Time it has allowed me to have a different outlook and to be influenced by socio-cultural factors such as the medias influence in everyday life and functioning, to the role of women, acceptable and non acceptable behaviours and forms of outlets that was once seen as acts against morality and obedience yet through time and growth of a new generation it has became widely accepted. Potential directions have contributed greatly to the development of my final art works. Initially I had the desire to create a sculpture using wire therefore I had multiple trials using different wire thickness as well as sizes however it presumed to be extremely hard to handle and heavily time consuming. Upon researching different art methods and techniques I came across a new form of pencil drawing called ‘gesture drawing.’ A gesture drawing is basically a quick drawing...

...Primavera (Allegory of Spring) Botticelli Circa 1482 Background of Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) and his artwork Alessandro de Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, also is known as Sandro Botticelli. He was born in 1445, Florence, Italy and he was one of the Italian painters during Early Renaissance. In 1460, he learned painting from the Renaissance painter, namely as Fra Filippo Lippi. Botticelli was a talented painter and he was able to open a workshop at the age of 15. “Birth of Venus” and “Primavera,” both of that were his earliest artwork.

Moreover, the “Primavera” the largest mythological work and it has a humanistic nature and translating the life-renewing cultural to society. The inspiration of the “La Primavera,” is from the influence of Gothic realism by Botticelli's study of the antique. During the World War Two, “Primavera” was moved to Montegufoni Castle. It was returned to the Uffizi Gallery where it remains to the present day. The painting being restored in 1982 and had darkened with time's cruel passage. Who is the target audience?

...Nathan Clark Design for Instruction Task The information gathered from my contextual factors and pre-assessment inform me of what type of students I will be teaching. The contextual factors help me to have a better understanding of the type of demographic my students belong to and what type of learning styles they attain. This information will also allow me to know of any outside characteristics that may inhibit learning for an individual student and the students as a whole. For example, some students may have learning disabilities and the student’s as a whole may react negatively to artworks involving polytheism. Giving the pre-assessment allowed me to fully understand what level my students are performing for that particular unit. I have found that I need to focus a lot of time on vocabulary definitions and how to apply the terms to artwork. Prompt Results of Pre-Assessment The students in this introductory level drawing class consists of students that are required to take this class as an elective or students who have an interest in drawing and wish to pursue it. The students in this class have limited experience with the concepts and skills in drawing. The pre-assessment results allow for an analysis of where the students are in terms of general knowledge. The pre-assessment for learning goal one allowed me to have a base quality level of the students’ performance. It enables me to see what each student is capable of in terms of skill and...

...John Singer Sargent was known as a portrait painter. This American-born artist charmed the hearts of many in Europe as well as America. Painting for the Salon in Europe ad he also painted two American presidents. I believe his use of many different medias allows him to paint the exact picture that comes to mind. There are many different textures, lights, and other details that not all medias can express. He quickly became a star with his painting Madame X which was painted in 1884. This painting was done by request and did not make any commission. I believe that Sargent created this piece using oil on canvas to fully bring the woman to life. By using such a pale color for her skin tone, he could create a dramatic effect of the dress was. Other...

...concept of symmetry is one of the most important aesthetic principles. Symmetrical beauty is derived from nature, i.e., law of nature in Taoism. The human body and almost all animals are symmetric, which shows a beauty of health and balance. Rather asymmetry leaves people an impression of displeasure. Symmetry is also the manifestation of Chinese philosophy of harmony and zhongyong (the Mean thought) in Confucianism. The aesthetic principle of symmetry in Chinese art is similar to the “Golden Rule” in the West, the aim of which is to achieve balance. This essay aims to discuss the aesthetic principle of symmetry used in Traditional Chinese Art and Design, including ancient Chinese Bronze artwork, ancient Chinese architecture and Chinese paper cutting. I. Symmetry in Ancient Chinese Bronze artwork Bronzes basically can be classified into four types in terms of function: food vessels, wine vessels, water vessels and musical instruments. Various shapes and designs can be found in each type, fully demonstrating the creativity and skills of the ancient people. Despite of this, symmetry was used as a universal basic aesthetic principle. Ancient Chinese bronzes stressed balance and symmetry of form, and communicated solemnity and ceremony. Among the various kinds of bronze vessels, ding is a significant category. Originally ding was used as food vessel and later evaluated to sacrificial vessel. Ding was describes as a kind vessel with three feet and two ears in Shuo Wen Jie Zi by...

...Throughout the years, Claude Monet’s Impression, Sunrise has been celebrated as the quintessential symbol of the Impressionist Movement. This renowned work of art which illustrates a view of the port of Le Havre in north-western France is considered to be one of Monet’s “most poetic expressions” of his engagement with France’s revitalization efforts after the Franco-Prussian War. Unlike other artworks of the time, the subject matter and specific painting techniques evident in Impression, Sunrise seek to transcribe the feelings initiated by a scene rather than simply rendering the details of a particular landscape. This act of expressing an individual’s perception of nature was a key characteristic and goal of Impressionist art, and is a common motif found in Monet’s paintings. While Impression, Sunrise and Monet’s artistic technique fell under harsh criticism at their outset, Monet’s masterpiece gave birth to a new movement and created a revolution in the world of art. Widely regarded as Monet’s single most famous painting, Impression, Sunrise was completed during the late nineteenth century in 1872. The most significant aspect of the painting is its credit with giving the Impressionist Movement its name. When the painting was first shown to the public in the L’Exposition des Révoltés—an exhibition independent of the Salon that was organized by Monet, Bazille, Pissarro, and their friends—many critics were extremely disapproving of the rebel group’s work, especially that...

...Art Genre Paper Peaches University of Phoenix March 23, 2009 MMus Abstract Expressionism Genre art evolved from the Dutch Baroque painters in the 17th century. The term “genre” generally refers to the pictorial representations in various media types that represent events of daily living. Such representations can be people, places, activities, parties, a building’s interior or a scenic outdoor setting. These scenes can be realistic, imagined, or even romanticized by the artist. This paper will examine abstract expressionism’s historical development and evolution of style, characteristics of the genre, influential styles or its influence on other styles, the influence of styles on three different visual or performing arts, and any significant contributions to the development and evolution of this style. Historical Development and Evolution of Style Abstract expressionism was developed in the context of diversity and an overlapping of sources and whose major contributors came from the 1930s. During this time “The Great Depression” had begun to yield two different art movements: Regionalism and Social Realism but neither of these appealed to this group of artists. This group was seeking significant content in their work. Having broken away from accepted conventions in both technique and subject matter, these artists used work that was monumentally scaled and reared reflections of their individual psyches. Valuing spontaneity and improvisation their style...

...we quickly realized there are many technological advancement options Aero could use to brand their company in the Northern American markets successfully. This proposal will discuss and evaluation process, the four suggestions by experts marketers, and give my final analysis of the best action for Aero expanding into North America Partnering-Pros & Cons Strategy Upon familiarizing myself on Buzz marketing, I have found its value and purpose to be very motivation and refreshing in the exchange of information sharing with new customers. We carefully thought of what motivation would the North American consumers need to become a buyer of Aero products. Motivation is a drive state created by consumer interests and needs. Interests are a reflection of overall lifestyle as well as a result of goals (Hawkins p 290, 2010). I met with several consultants within Aero, to discuss expansion on how to utilize Buzz marketing for the new campaign. The meeting with our first consultant Mr. Burke, was rather energizing. His laser focused thoughts on capitalizing on existing technologies to emphasize Buzz...

...Smithson’s 1972 footnote about the Spiral Jetty “the land or ground from the site is placed in the art, rather than the art placed on the ground.” Spiral Jetty was created by Robert Smithson in 1970. This earthwork is located at Rozel Point, on the Great Salt Lake. There have been many who argue that earthworks are not art, they are destructive to the land. In this paper I plan to argue the polar opposite, sure in some cases other earthworks have caused destruction, however, the focus in this essay is the Spiral Jetty a beautiful ephemeral work of art that Smithson built as his own memorial. Paraphrasing Clark Lunberry, Spiral Jetty is compiled of rocks in various sizes that are carefully constructed to create a large spiral quite long, and flattened enough to create a path, winding its way out into the lake. Due to the location of this earthwork, it is most often experienced through photography. Lunberry continues on by quoting Roland Barthes, the Spiral Jetty is “a temporal hallucination, so to speak, a modest, shared hallucination”. This work does a fantastical job at fascinating the mind, from the way reflections of light on...

...apprehension. Five hundred year cycles system appears to be as significant as the thousand year cycles. Discussion In Thomas Schutte’s Efficiency Men (2005), there are three enormous ghostly figures of men. These figures are standing on thin spirals of steel and are covered by heavy dark blankets from which emerge perturbing faces modeled in colored silicon. Resembling grotesque figures in costume, these effigies of corrupt, scandal ridden contemporary society slope in a sinister fashion across the room of exhibition; they might be well an embodiment of the death that is elicited in the artwork of paintings on the walls. Mysterious and enigmatic, are a combination of artifice and superficiality, urging us to get involved more directly with the reality of our everyday world. This is the only way in which the dialogue between art and society can become truly meaningful (Dogana, 2014). This artwork by Schutte, explicitly displays the hopelessness and devastation of humanity which is evoked probably by the thoughts and imaginations of apocalyptic events. The human race is doomed and there no expressed optimism in the aftermath. The apocalypse comes to mean the predicted threat of destruction and how it is resolved and post-apocalypse, the aftermath, the avenues in which humanity has withstood and adapted following a less-than-complete disaster (Mitchell, 2001). On the other hand, we can catalogue the various end of the world events according to etiology of each...
