Final art project -Reflection-

I think I did good on this and I did this art in this way because I thought I could have made my own type of art in a way I thought works for me and that is what I'm good with and know how to use it to my advantage. And I even did better then what I thought I could do with this assignment. Also I gave it a better look to it then what I was going to do. I clearly showed I'm better with this the a piece of paper. like from the cradle (beginning) to the grave (End) like in these pics.

                           Grave                                            














This is a comparison of how I do drawing and how I do with Minecraft I can do better with Minecraft because I can think more clearly when I'm doing this way. I also have more chances to mess up without leaving all the eraser marks on a piece of paper. And I have  more room to work with then on a piece of paper. I also For some reason get better ideas on the digital side then at a desk with a pencil and paper. I tried to do some art on paper but it wasn't as good as it looks when I do it my way, and I also like doing it this way it cause it looks more better then if I drew it all out.

Brian Jungen work video. Questions and answers on duality

http://http://www.gallery.ca/en/see/collections/artist.php?iartistid=25208  (Under the media part in the

side thing) is what we watched And I hope it works for you it is on Brian Jungen and his work

and here are a few questions on what we seen. And also my answers to them.

1- What is duality? 
Duality is contrast between two concepts of something. It is like how dull something it like Light and Dark. It is to show how dull something is in basic terms. It is also a part to say how dull it is compared to something else that is similar to it. Also it can be a measure of how original something is. Also it can get onto a scale of how brilliant something is and how it was made and what it was made from.


2- How is Contrast important to Brian Jungen's work?
It is important B/C it can show it all in a different light compared to some of the other work for other artists. Also it is part of how he uses duality. This can be part of an even bigger  picture and how it relates to what he is trying to make or do. This is also how it fits in to what he is doing for an art piece and how it relates to the type he is doing. Another thing is what does his art work mean and what and what it stands for as an artwork in this type of art style.


3- How is it related to appropriation?
It is related to appropriation because, they are both a part of a bigger picture called sculptures. Also it is Showing what he uses to make his art pieces. It is also because they can be used to make it more cooler looking then it could have been without these things included to it. Also they can be put together to make a better art piece then they can apart. so in other words they are related and they can be used to make more magnificent artwork together.

Final art project -The work-

This post will show you what I did for my final art project. I made it on minecraft. It was cool and fun to make. I also made it be just going with my gut on how big I should make everything and it turd out good. Also I tried to get it perfect which it ended up being. I also tried some new stuff which made it look better.
There is a way you think is a fun way to build anything in art. You just have to find it and try different ways to help too. I also thought of different ways but none of it would have worked. So I did this way cause it looked cool and it was fun to work on.

 Part 1- This is what my project at the start which is called the blank canvas. and it helps me get into my creative side of myself and I can build some cool things in a cool way. I also come up with some great ideas here to. This is also a good way to try different things that you can do for any artwork. This is also the same place that I worked with last year when I did the cathedral with a friend.

Part 2- This is the background to the art piece I`m doing for my art project. I wanted it to make the rest of my art work stand out so I went with a lime green. And I wanted to use a different color then what I think would have been cool. I did this cause I didn't think anything else would look good on it so I went with a Lime green. I thought of putting it a red but I didn't think it would look good.

Part 3- This is when I finished the face and the thought bubble on it. I think it looks cool, but that`s my opinion. I also think it looks good for how I made the bubble. And how it all fits together when it's done. I did it like this so I can get a better look to the face so it will look like a real face. Also did the thought bubble a bit bigger so I can fit what I can into it and if I wanted to put some more stuff into it. And I tried to make it look like my preliminary work so I tried my best so don't harp me for it.

Part 4- This is how it looks when I put the thoughts into the bubble and I used different things then I would normally use on any type of art. Also I made it look better then I was planing on doing it. The harder part was trying to position everything in the thought bubble and to get it all spaced perfectly. And I thought I should add stuff to it but then I didn't cause it would have changed the look and I would have to re position everything.

Part 5-  This is how it looks now after I finished putting in the sky like thing in the top of the bubble to try and make it more like a subconscious dream. I Made it like a checkered like pattern with the blues and changed the star to a gold from a yellow. I gave it a better look when I added the blue sky to it I thought of adding a ground to it but it would ruin it.

1) what is appropriation? you can provide a definition from another source, as long as your explain it in simpler terms to prove that you understand it.
   an act or instance of appropriating. and appropriating is to take exclusive possession of. It is about how he makes it his and how it is personal to him. Also how he made it to be a unique piece of art. Also how he uses a type of art that is out there and expands on it to make it cooler and a makes a new section that will be remembered cause it is amazing.

2) Review Daniels Gordon's work, evaluate its success.
 It was all made with random stuff that you think might be garbage and he made it work. so it is a huge success by how he made it all. Also he did this all to try to say a message to us about what makes art art. I also think that his art is gonna be a big hit if people start to see how art can be anything if you put your mind to it and work hard on it to make it an art piece.

3) By what standards did you deem it successful? Yours or his?
 I think it is successful just by how it was made. But it could have been made to what he thinks was successful and it was made to be something cool and made cool art out of nothing but random pictures. And if he made to what he thinks was a success I think it is a huge success even if no one else thinks it is good I think it is amazing.

4) How does he expand the meaning of photography in his work?
 Well he is using pictures and making something out of it then taking a picture of it. Also he is trying to use thing that no one ever tried to use before, and he is going to make us all realize that it doesn't take much to make art. He took it to a newer state and it is a cool way to express yourself to others by this.

5) How much time is spent "in process"? Is this important? Why or Why not?
    There is about 90% time spent in process. This is important to the art work that he is doing because, with out it he may not get to the building of the art piece. Also what he is doing is really time consuming by doing the art style that he is doing. Also

Final art project

So this is some thing I am going to work on when I can for my finale art project I will try it in one of the two art styles that I posted earlier. This may be hard but I don't care it will be hard. I chose to do my finale project on the subconscious dream and how it will end up as will be a surprise even for me. Also I will be doing it in minecraft on my Xbox. I will post pictures and I may do a video when it's all done. I will be doing this hopefully in time. I may change it so it may look different. I may add more or take some out. but if I am gonna change it I will post about it and explain on it.

 This picture will be all different cause of the cubes and it will be all colorful and hopefully better looking.
