Feedback

The assignment I enjoyed the most would have to be the logo design because it allowed me to incorporate things that represent me and that I am most proud about.

The one I liked the least was the mask making because my artistic abilities did not prevail in this project.

I like using angel, it is a great source of communication. Has its glitches, however, when it works it gets the job done!

I would keep the least expensive assignments, I would eliminate the work load. Although I enjoyed this class it caused a great deal of stress considering it was my 7th class this semester. To have all the chapter questions AND a project is overwhelming whether or not we had a week to do it. Each assignment is time consuming alone so adding more than one assignment in one week can be exhausting and perhaps lower the quality of work turned in. Either that or make one week incredibly easier then the next week. I wouldnt add anything, this was a great class with an awesome Professor.

I would recommend this course to my peers if there was less work, because although I enjoyed it because I enjoy the arts, my peers are not quite the same as I so they may not appreciate it as I did and would probably be mad at me.

Over all great experience, Thank you Professor Tabone for allowing me to have such an experience and being so available to us online. That was one of the best things about this online course. You were easy to contact, incredibly understanding, great responding time i couldnt thank you enough because I have taken online classes in which the professor were difficult to reach and you being so available and willing to help definitely made this class easier.

The End

I. My expectations were to have fun and indulge more in art which this class has allowed me to do tremendously.
II. Art is a form of expression, i still have the same definition as before because thats what it is to me!
III. Salvador Dali was my favorite artist and actually still is! He always has been, theres a deeper reasoning as to why I connect with his art work so much and perhaps that is why he remains to be my favorite artist. I have however adopted more favorite artist but Dali will always be number 1!
IV. i enjoyed the course very much, however, felt incredibly overwhelmed with the workload at times so I suppose you can say I feel accomplished and relieved! My answer hasnt varied much since my first posting because I did have fun and I am glad this happened to be the online art class I have been looking for.

My selection was based off of my interest for the artists as well as the portraits itself especially that of Salvador Dali. I selected pencil for my media because its my favorite media to use in general. Its simple and can be manipulated to be messy or clean and i like that about it. Some challenges I faced were proportion and evenness. I dealt with them by just going with the flow. This piece represents me because it is me! I used emphasis on my eyes and lips because those are my strongest facial features and therefore chose to leave my nose out to allow for the emphasis to occur. I used color or lack there of due to personal preference. I used lines to define my hair and proportion in my eyes and lips. My self portrait is asymmetrical. I did enjoy working on this project very much, it was interesting to see what I am capable of. I thought it would come out WAY worse than it did. I love my final artwork. Everything Ive done thus far has been a complex because i intended it to be that way. This piece, my final piece, however, is complete opposite. Just simple. 

Project 5

For project 5 I have reviewed numerous exhibits some being The Depiction of Women through Art, Beauty of Italy, Made of Itself, The Queen City, Natures Beauty, The Story of Love, and Family Portrayed through Realism.

I chose to critique Sarah Romans The Depiction of Women through Art, because the title captivated me. The only challenge I faced with critiquing Romans exhibit was finding a way she could improve it. The project itself was phenomenal and very well put together and interpreted. I overcame this by simply suggesting minor things such as using the principles and elements of the art works towards the advantage of the theme.

Reviewing the works of my peers was interesting, mainly because of the different directions all of us took the project in. I would be very interested and reviewing the evaluation of my exhibit if for no other reason to see if someone really understood my Nirvana.

On a scale from 1-10 I would rate my article as a 10 because I really took this project seriously. I took the time to actually read every slide of the person I was reviewing and reflected on it, I even searched for the pieces shes in hopes that I would get the same inspiration she did. A lot of thought and time was put into my critique.

I had a great time working on this project, gave me the ability to really think of something profound and a part of me and tried to share it with my peers through the works of some of my favorite artists. Regardless of the grade I receive or the bad critiques I may receive as well this project was by far my most favorite and i enjoyed it very much.

V-Blog

Greenberg on Pollock: An Interview by T.J Clark and Greenberg on Art Criticism: An Interview by T. J. Clark have similar concepts in which they criticize works of art. They relate to our art projects in terms of the critique also the ability to relate art to history. The videos were incredibly tedious, however, held good information. As far as the way of thinking displaced. Hopefully this will set me up for when I critique the work of my peers.
  

Misunderstood Nirvana

I chose to do project four a little differently than most. By compiling art works that have touched me in some way. It is a complex theme as well as complex pieces, however i hope everyone enjoys it. The most difficult part was finding words to get people to understand my direction, which is ironic in itself because most things i do are never really understood. It was a great project and I am anxious to see the results!
