Images for first project....

These are two of then images that I want to use for the project.  I am using these to attempt to display a child's world of imagination.  I haves some more clips, but these are going to be my main pics that are going to be incorporated into the final project.  The external is the toy truck.  The internal is in an alternate child-like realm and the human interaction will be added with a human being that I have yet to take, because I want to make the core of the image first.  As of right now, I am all over the place, but hopefully it will work out in the end.  

SOmething we did in class

We made some really interesting pics in class, but I have no idea how to upload it to this site.....

A feminist artist I love!!

I love her form.  Frida Kahlo speaks to me as a feminist and a revolutionary. 

Class one: Artist and likage between project. --Personal Respone

While reviewing the images of the artist, I was really interested in the way in which the artists were able to recreate their realm of reality.  Crewdson's work illustrates a beautiful melancholy with the distinct manners he manipulates the timing and the role of the people.  The two works that I found the most interesting works were: Untitled: Beneath the Roses.  The perspectives illustrate a form of reality that I find so unique and beautiful. 
-Teun's work, I found, was very humorous.  Reality again is transformed.  He is able to manipulate time, place, height, and depth.  Unlike Crewdon, he uses a different medium that alters the perspectives.   The Work that was really interesting to me was 199 Untitled, like Crewdson, it was really aesthetically pleasing as well as humorous.

-Wall uses photography in a way to illustrate instances within life that we ourselves have taken in as a part of the culture.  Gestures that we do not pay attention to really transform the manner in which we communicate with one another.  With the Mimic, he was able to demonstrate to the viewer the manner in which individuals transform due tragic events such as war.  I can think of instances within daily life  that are unsaid, but a part of our reality that we take for granted every day, for example:  personal space, facial expressions that indicate our mood, moving to another stall away from an individual although their is a vacant one next to the person already there.  Like he said, the "mimic" is harmful to art because it can carry so many dimensions that even the individual cannot see.  I really like this work and can see how it too has the layer of perspective that the other artist attain.
-Sherman like Wall also deals with the form of reality.  However she takes what appears to be a 1960's setting of femininity and transforms it to the "other" side of the peppy, docile, housewife of the 60's.  The women are appear to be in (what we would consider) a provocative atmosphere, where they are alone instead of accompanied, smoking, lost but not found, strong when they should be weak, and in many instances they appear depressed.
-All these images allow for me to look at the manner in which the roles of reality have the ability to be altered.  There are more complexities with the world and the role human beings play within.  The color, perspective, depth, emotions, and melancholy are all factors I can take into account when looking for images. All in all I really enjoyed looking at them. :) ~ruth
