Preliminary work and other things

I am doing a thing for art that I have 2 different art styles. 1 is Surrealism and the other is DADA. I think that these 2 are Close but that is my observation. They both were made in The early 1900's Or early 20th century.
Surrealism Lasted from 1920 to 1930.
DADA Lasted from 1916 to 1920.




DADA

DADA was officially not a movement.
             This was also a literacy movement as well as an art movement.

 French, from DADA, hobby-horse. This type of art was a rejection of laws of beauty and social things. Also it was made by Non-Artists. There also was a sculpture made called Fountain... Which I think is weird.

Here it is

It was signed with a fake signature. It was made by the person named Marcel Duchamp. Also he did the mustache on the fake Mona Lisa. this was seized upon by the group as appropriate for their anti-aesthetic creations

Surrealism

     It was a new mode of expression. Also this was a type of writing.
  It was clever and whimsical disregard for tradition fostered by Dadaism a decade earlier.
        It was considered to be anti-art or non-art. 

It's roots were found in DADA.
   André Brenton is known as the pope of surrealism. but he was a french poet.
    Surrealism is defined as "Psychic automatism"
 This was a fusion of elements of fantasy.
The organized movement Surrealist movement in         Europe dissolved with the onset of World War II.

Struggle art work

My struggle art work is going to be about drawing faces and face features. I have more trouble doing the nose and mouth then anything else. I also can't do the right positioning of everything on the face correctly and how to get it all correctly.

And I do the dividing technique to help me a bit more to get a better result.
I am also trying to learn the size and the position of the ears with the face.
I am also reading this to help me out a lot on drawing a face and it does help a lot and it really helps out people who struggle with it.

This is how it looks at it`s second stage. Also it is still in a it's early stages and it will be done after a few more stages. It will be better when I do the 3rd stage. I will improve the way it looks and how the position of everything on the face. Also to work on a better one for stage three.

This is my 3rd update to the picture and I did more to it and did allot of work.

I made it more better and I also did a bigger part and did more detail then the last one. Also I did a bit to improve on it. Also I will do more to improve it by Doing the shoulders correctly. I will also work on how it will look when it's done and with a background. I will also do some more to get it a better background. I will also I will do a simple background on it. I will also get some better color into it and give it a better look. I will also give the picture better look to it. I will also do some things to get it a better look to the shirt and to the face. I will also do more work on the face and how the features are placed on the face and I will also get the hair to have a better look to it.

Art in Science

There is many other subjects with art in it I choose to do mine in science class. I will show the art in science. It is a Solar oven.

It is not as easy as look at the picture at make it from there I have to use a good plan and certain things. here is a list of the thing I need.

• Cardboard pizza box (the kind delivered pizza comes in)
• Box knife or scissors
• Aluminum foil
• Glue
• Tape
• Ruler
• Plastic wrap or Plexiglas (if available)
• Black construction paper or black ground cover
• Stick or dowel

It is everything I can use can be found in a home except the Pizza Box. And It is easy if you make it correctly and read the instructions correctly and not like how I did it And here are the instructions.

1. On the top flap of the pizza box draw a square with a marker with edges spaced 1" from the four sides of the box.
2. Use a box knife or sharp scissors to cut a flap in the lid of the pizza box. Cut along three sides, leaving about an inch between the sides of the flap and the edges of the lid. Fold this flap out so that it stands up when the box lid is closed. Cover the inner or bottom side of the flap with aluminum foil so that the rays from the sun will be reflected off. Be careful to make as few wrinkles as possible, and smooth out whatever wrinkles occur. This will be your reflector panel.
3. Use clear plastic wrap to create an airtight window for sunlight to enter into the box. Do this by opening the box and taping a double layer of plastic wrap over the opening you made when you cut the flap in the lid. Leave about an inch of plastic overlap around the sides and tape each side down securely, sealing out air.
4. Line the bottom of the box with aluminum foil to reflect heat and then cover that with black construction paper--black absorbs heat.
5. Now your oven is ready to try out! Take it outside to a sunny spot and adjust the flap until the most sunlight possible is reflecting off the aluminum foil and onto the plastic-covered window. Use a stick or a dowel to prop the flap at the right angle.

This is going to be a project that I can only do in my Science class so that is a set back.

This is how is going to work hopefully. And it should be a good to cook a s'more, A single cookie, and other small stuff. It hits 93.3 C. It will be a good to have in any season.
















Also It can be a big part of the art world. It is this because of the art design of the box and how the design is liked by the public and how it is effective to the public it is. Also how it can be used to make something warmer or how it can be useful. Also you can use it to make wall art. Also you can use the solar oven to make a wall art with it and it can still be used to cook small things. Also you can make any type of art on the box itself to make it unique and your own.














There is art that can be used as a functioning piece. This type of art is classified as a sculpture. I kept mine plane but you can make it any colour and shape you want it to be. This is also a functioning piece of art as you can see by the cooking hot dog in the picture. It may not look like any normal type of sculpture but it is, because it is a 3D shape and it is made from different types of materials than you would use for any other type of art. If you want, you can make any design on the box. But the main thing is it is part of both worlds, the art world because it is a type of sculpture, the science world because it uses the sun's energy to work and to cook food that needs to be cooked.

romanticism time period

This is a time period that was in the 18th century. it swept through the the Europe and around there. It was a cool way of making art and it still is to the day. It did not reach France until the 1820's.18th-century literature with more complex, idiosyncratic characters. 
The term romantic or "romance like", resembling the fanciful character of medieval romances. But a mood or movement whose central characteristic is revolt, and whose stress is on self-expression and individual uniqueness.


http://www.uh.edu/engines/romanticism/liberty.jpg

This type of art is self-expression and individual uniqueness. It is warm emotions. Spirit expressed itself in one of two ways. They who made it were trying really hard to escape their own shadows. Also it is the spirit of their new freedom.
It is from the root word "Roman" in the various European languages.
Also romantic poetry. in the realm of ethics, politics, aesthetics it was the authenticity and sincerity of the pursuit of inner goals that mattered; this applied equally to individuals and groups. The end of the Romantic era is marked in some areas by a new style of Realism.

Poland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and  Latin America soon followed

It also had a good way to draw your attention to a certain point on the painting that is better then then the rest of the painting. An artistic and intellectual movement. Romantic quality or spirit in thought, expression, or action. late 1760's-early 1780's was how long this time period was.
This is painted with a different type of style. It was made with hard lines to draw the lookers attention to a certain point on it. 
Romanticism doesn't mean lying dreamy-eyed on a patch of clover or gazing wistfully into your lover's eyes. It doesn't refer to romance at all. Romanticism was a cultural movement that started in Europe. It was somewhat of a reaction to the Industrial Revolution which occurred during the same time period. 

It is a special type of art that was made to make the person look at a certain point it the painting and it was amazing. This is a type of art that was all about certain things that happen and how it's importance it has to the painter. Also it has a cool way that it looks. Also this is a different type of cool art. Also it was good for how it was made during it's time period.

The building

We had started making it. We first started with a path to a black thing in the snow.It was a lot of work to make it. We shoved it all out. We made sure it was wide enough to walk in with two of us.



















Here is the path being built.


Then we had to measure the plot thingamajig and finish making the path for us to walk on.

Measuring the plot thingamajig












Here is the plot thingamajig when we messed up.

What we had to change to make it work.

Land/earth art

This is the planing stage of our Land/Earth art. We will be doing this in our school court yard. 1 of them. I'm gonna be doing this with Dillion and Sara. this should turn out good.

What is art? What isn't art?

We are doing an art project that is called struggle. And What is Art and What isn't art. We are doing this to say what we think is art to us and what isn't art to us. (US = The class)
To me art is: Sculpture, and paintings. To me what isn't art is the art of war, and tracing (Copying). In the next Parts I will explain all this to you.


What is Art
This is what I think is art. I will tell you about it all and why I think it is art. people show what is important and their creative side when they do any type of art.
1) Sculptures. 2) Paintings.

I think Sculptures are art because, the people use there own personality and creative side to make a sculpture. Also the people who build them take there time and put a lot of time, sweet, and blood into making it. Also You can tell that the have a lot of passion into what they make and how they make it.

I think Paintings are art because, The people want to teach you something about their time. Also kinda tells you about their experience's that they have. And they also put a lot of pride into their painting.


What isn't Art

This is what I think is not art. I will tell you why I think this is not art is the next section. Also why I Think this is not art at all.
1) the art of war. 2)tracing (Copying).


I think THE ART OF WAR is not art because, It is only the rules and old strategies of past wars and other things of war. Also it is a book that is a rule book. This is a link to see the art of war. http://classics.mit.edu/Tzu/artwar.html

I think Tracing or Copying is not art because, It is taking someone else's art work and saying it is yours. It is frowned upon by every single person. It is also saying you did it when someone else did it.
