Class # 4 Translation  Follow Up


Describe The Artist's Process ? Jackson Pollock Would Usually Put The Canvas Or Whatever Object /Materials He Was Going To Use From There He Would Use His Arms To Throw Paint Across The a Canvas , I Think He Was Painting A Desert.. It Totally Looked A Hot Mess At First. But The Man Is A Genius, Whatever He Did Worked For Him Because The Final Product Came Out Beautifully .











What Information Is The Artist  Is Trying To Translate Through This Process ?








Describe The Artist's Process? What Really Caught My Eye Is The Fact That Jackson Pollock Would Sometimes Put A Canvas Or Whatever Material He Was Using In The Middle Of The Floor While His Drawing ( Creating Art) From There He Would Use His Arms To Throw Paint All Over The Canvas. I'm Sure At First It Looked Like A Total Mess But The Final Product Came Out Looking Amazing. I Love The Fact That He Didn't Follow Any Rules But Went With What He Felt Like That People Like That Are Always The Best Artist.

What Information Is The Artist Trying To Translate Through This Process ? In My Opinion I Think That He Was Translating Creativity And Freedom Of  Choice ( If There Is Such A Thing ). There Isn't Really A Good Or Bad Way To Create Art . Just Be Yourself & Let Your Idea Be Shown Through Your Work .


What Other Information Is ( intentionally Or Unintentionally ) Captured In The Finished  Visuall Or Audio Work ?  I Guess That It's Okay To Be Creative And Come Up With New Ways To Make Things As Long As It's Working For You & You're Comfortable Doing It. It's Not  Always Best To Follow Other People's Idea/Suggestions. What Works For Someone Else Might Not Work For You, Think Outside The Box And Just Explore Your Options . It Might Turn Out To Be The Greatest Thing(s) You've Ever Done












 




 


 Is The Final Outcome  Of The Process  Interesting To You ? Why ? Yes The Final Outcome is Interesting To Me Simply Because Of The Objects/ Materials The artist Used To Created The Final Product. It Was Very Creative Which Is Always A Wonderful Thing.

My Mutu Style- Self Portrait

I cut all the colorful pieces that stood out and represents me the most to create my Mutu Style -Self Portrait . Each piece represent something I love or like doing.

Class #3 Homework Part B (Cringe-Factor )

This is a drawing of an egg that I did back in high school . Everyone thought that it was a snail instead of an egg. I'm not too embarrassed by the drawing but just the fact people couldn't tell that it was an egg. I've always being interested in art/ drawing but I was never and still is not a good drawer/ artist .

A lot has changed since the drawing, I can now draw a better "egg" and I'm pretty sure people would be able to tell that it's an egg this time around. One may not be perfect at something but if they keep trying at it they will definetely get better. I guess it's safe to say practice makes perfect !!

Class #3- Homework ( Wangechi Mutu ) Part-A

1. How does Mutu's Human/insects -machine -like distortions of the body relate to conventional notions of female beauty ?
  Answer : I feel like Mutu uses this kind of art as a way to express her feelings towards what she thinks female beauty really is. Everybody (women) is beautiful on their own unique way, I think that it is amazing that she uses all that kind of objects/material to create one final piece of art. The female body goes through all sorts of changes it's possible that the different objects represents the stages



2. Describe how one of her works functions formally . How is the work beautiful and how is it ugly ?

Answer : I didn't find her work ugly nor or beautiful, It's weird in a good kind of way . I like how her minds work and how talented she is, her work is from the heart & it's absolutely one of a kind and original. I like all the bright colors she uses in her work, it makes it stand out even more. Her art is phenomenal & like a piece of  fresh air. She's free spirited & she's amazing at what she does .
