1.) I chose the Drawings of Michelangelo because I think he was an amazing artist. I think it is interesting getting to know more about him and his artwork.
I also chose Albrecht Durer: Image of a Master, mainly for the last part. "Image of a Master caught my attention and I wanted to know more about what it particularly meant by Master.
2.)For the first video the key concepts were mainly what Michelangelo's points were in creating his artwork drawings, and sculptures. Many of these being of naked men. Michelangelo used the human body, and the "twisted body" to express so much artistic expression. He had a whole design laid out for his Dome he was creating. Which was such an amazing inspiration. They even used an actual human to try and reenact one of his Adam and God painting. The way the form of the body was in the drawing was impossible for the human man to actually create is perfectly. A lot of this video was showing the process of how the artwork was created on the ceiling of Michelangelo's Dome. It is incredible work and created with such detailed work.
The second video Image of a Master it was talking about the artist Albrecht Durer and his life as an artist. He had a interest in showing works of art involving aging. He also tends to paint himself, in a way of finding out who he really is. Usually with serious faces. After traveling to Italy, he ended up having the beautiful landscape of the Alps in the back of his paintings. He ended up becoming well known for his landscape and was one of the first Landscape artists in Europe.
3.) Both videos relate to the reading, by explaining the different artists artwork, and drawings. The history and accomplishments through the years of the artists. How the paintings and drawings were inspirational at that time in history.
4.) I think these films give me more of an idea of what it was like creating artwork back then. Gave me some idea of how they got their inspiration and how they were created. Also about their life and how different it was being an artist back then. Also, how to this day there are still artwork around the world from these artists.

Module 8
1.) The video I chose from the selections was Cairo Museum. I chose this because just by the title it seemed to be the most interesting sounding to me and I enjoy museums so I figured it would be something I would be interested in.
2.) The key concept of the first video More Human than Human, was that even though all statues of the human body are very different, almost all of them have a similarity of having a very unrealistic view of that the actual human body looked like. It shows the old Nomatic version of human artwork is more realistic than modern time. The Greece sculptures that were found in the sand under water. Greeks were very particular with the way the body looks. If your bodies looked good, you were good and very more of a god. Their goal was to create statues worthy of their temples.
In the second video "Cairo Museum" the key concepts were about the Egyptian museums basement and the Egyptian human statues they have stored down there. Only half of their artifacts are on display, and the other half is all underneath put away. They want to create a new display to show these long lost artifacts that were forgotten about. They have so many different choices. Many have never been out on display for over the 100 years they were there. They made it like a temple.
3.) These videos relate to the text because they both give us a sense of different ways cultures saw the human body. Some sculptures looked nothing like a human but some cultures made it well known of what the sculpture was. Different cultures used them for temples and for recognizing Kings and queens. They had a big influence on the people of different cultures and time periods
4.) In my opinion I think the videos were interesting. I enjoy the Museum video. I think the artifacts are amazing and they really took the time to make the new part of the museum just like a temple. In the first video I think it was very true that a lot of human sculptures are different but a lot of them are so unrealistic and nothing like a real human.

Module 7 Videos
I watched the videos Architecture: The Science of Design, and Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art.
1.)For the first video the main concept was the technology and design of the architecture. It talked about the "smart houses" and how much it can do for one human. The house, can wake up a person, have everything turned on and ready to go in the morning, or coming home after a long day. It is incredible how far architecture and technology has come. It also talked a lot about the process of building safe skyscrapers.
In the second video, they mainly talk about Frank Gehry's architecture and his creations over time. The different artwork involved in architecture, and all of his creations. His architecture was never really thought to be the architecture of the future. But as the years went on, he still created architecture that was used through years and years. He even has a museum and it looks incredible. I actually would go visit his masterpiece one day if I could.
2.) In both videos and reading the text, the both described the art of the architecture. It also both talked about the creation and the technology used to create these buildings. There is a lot of work put into these architectures and each one needs to be created in different, safe ways.
3.) With both of these videos I learned a lot. I learned a lot of where Gehry got his ideas from, and how he created such architecture. He was an inspiration to many and even with his own home, he was incredible. The first video I watched I learned how different architectures and even bridges were built to withstand certain weather problems, and weight too. I think learning about the smart house and what it is capable of was probably the most interesting part of both of the videos. I also think how in the Frank Gehry video, he says that things and artistic creations can change over the years. It's kind of like a trend. It changes every so often.
4.) I chose the two that I chose because I'm a science nerd and the title got my attention "The Science of Design." It was an interesting video too. The second video I chose because I was having a little trouble connection to the other videos so I decided to watch this one. It was still interesting to watch but I don't know if it would have been the one I would have chosen.

Througt the Eyes of the Sculptor/ Glass and Ceramics Module 6
There are many different key concepts in these videos. Starting with the Glass and Ceramics video, it is so interesting seeing how both are made. I think the making of the glass is so amazing how it works. Watching and seeing the different techniques and different glass and ceramics. Glass is used for so many things including architecture and is so detailed in the making. Glass can even save money. In the video it talks about how some buildings are made with double glass to block out sound.
In the sculpture video, there is such a long process to make and finish these sculptures. So much time, patience, and effort. There are so many details the artist needs to work with. It's just interesting to watch a creation actually come to life after so many trials and patience.
The text, and the sculpting video both talk about the process of the carving. Both talk about bringing art into sculpture form and the time and steps it takes to get it.
The Glass video and the text relate because they both mention how and what they are both made of.
I think the videos gave me a better understanding of the process of glass and ceramic making, and also sculpting. Sculpting takes so much time and has a long process of many different versions of art. Glass and ceramics have a very distinct process and are both time consuming and can create many different things using these materials. These types of arts take a lot longer and depth than I originally thought

Peer Blog Postings

2.) I honestly think out of all the project #1 I have looked through, I think Sheri captured the best images based on the definitions of these elements. I saw a lot of what she was thinking for each element and principal. I think emphasis was my favorite just because of the red bench popping out against the white house.
I also think Amber did a really great job too! I agreed with each one she did for elements and principals. The only one I had trouble understanding was the movement one, but I think it is like the hussel and movement of the city which in that case is actually really smart and thinking even deeper than I had thought about these! Either way it was interesting going through these picture.
3.) When it comes to mine and Sheriwrites blog posting, we didn't have many similar artworks posted but we did have one. They both were a piece that we connected with but in different ways and meanings. She explained it in a different way than I did and honestly I kind of liked her explanation of it better than my own! We seem to be somewhat similar people and I started thinking of our similar artwork "The Struggle" in a different way.
Amber and I did not have similar artworks for this project but I was interested in what she was thinking for most of the pieces. She has a lot of questions for the artists and I have a lot of similar questions I would ask them too.
4.) George Wesley Bellow's Ellinor, Jean , and Anna was one artwork from Sheri's blog that I would like to know more about, it kind of got my attention. She said she wanted to know why the little girl was so upset, and that is exactly why I want to know more about this too. It interests me a lot.
From Amber's I would like to more about the Volumptuosity sculpture. Like Amber said, it is different for someone to create a sculpture of such a large man or woman. Usually it is more of a petite man or woman. I would like to know more about this sculpture. Is this sculpture of the man or woman learning to embrace themselves and gain confidence. I want to know the story behind it too!
5.) I actually enjoyed this peer evaluation. I looked through a lot of blogs, and they people that did do the projects did a very good job, and got me thinking about a lot of the artwork and photos. I think it is a great way to learn about other peoples thoughts and how they interpret different artwork, and how they even create their own from principles and elements. It was a really great learning experience.
6.) Their were not too many comments on mine, but actually they people who did comment on mine made me happy. They liked the work I did and we had a lot in common with our projects. It's nice to hear other peoples opinion on your work.

LOGO
1.)Creating this logo really got my creative side going. I wasn't really sure what to do. I wanted to really incorporate myself into it. I enjoyed being able to do something creative and pick what I wanted to do for it.
2.)I am a chemistry major who is going into dietary and nutrition in the future and I live a life of health and wellness. I created a chemistry beaker and a dumbbell together into one. I first thought it might be too much for a logo but it was what I really wanted to do. It was fun creating it too.
3.) The most important discovery for me was not to overthink or over do the logo. It's got to be about me and I really think I captured that I my work.
4.) From watching the videos and reading the articles I learned that there are many steps to creating a logo. In the video it took a design team many times to get the correct idea for the company. They wanted it perfect and it was such a simple logo. They were 5 red circles, but they had to be perfect and the logo ended up meaning so much that I wouldn't even think about. I liked watching the video, and it really helped me capture ideas for my own.
Here are some small ideas I started off with for my logo, and also my finished project.
FINISHED LOGO
ART GALLERY VISIT
1.) These two first images are the two artworks that really made an impact on me. They are by Adolph Gottlieb (Dialogue 1, 1960) and n the right it is (George Went Swimming at Barnes Hole, but It Got Too Cold, 1957) by Joan Mitchell. The Black white and red one impacts me because it is so simple but could mean so much to the artist. It reminds me of graffiti from the streets in a way. The artwork on the right impacts me mainly because the title is so interesting for this artwork. Artists have such unique names for their work of arts. It impacts me also because the way it all came together.
3.) The next two artists are (Round Trip 1957) by Helen Frankenthaler and (Peinture no. 0528, 1915)by Alberto Magnelli and I would really like to explore and learn more about these artists. I think the Round Trip painting is amazing. It could have so many different meanings to it and I truly don't know what it truly means. I would love to know what she was thinking when creating his work of art. Same with the next artwork. It's simple but was the artist inspired by the colors and the shapes and even the sections of each different colors. I would love to research more into it and really find out what was going on in both of these artists heads as they drew these.
