This week I have chosen my art history piece. It is from one of my three artists, his name is Jim Dine.
The piece I am studying is called the Jewish heart, 1982.
Here is a picture:
We are to do two artists, I have only chosen one so far. But I was thinking of doing another piece from one of my other three names.
Yesterday we started drawing/ planning our folio. We had to think about the series and sequences in out work too.
For my theme Uneqiness and personality, celebration, my plan ending up turning out like this:
9/8/18 - Monday
Three names:
Christine Webster:
Born in Pukekohe Auckland 1958.Her photography is based on fiction. It is unsettling with its probing into society’s accepted boundaries(which look scary in a way).
Her interest lies in working with others to explore the human psyche – people’s different personae, fantasy, identity, gender stereotypes and sexuality.
Ans Westra:
Ans was born in the Netherlands in Leiden in 1936 28th of April. She left the Netherlands for New Zealand in 1957. She is a self-taught New Zealand photographer with an interest in Maori. Her art was amplified in 1964 by one of her pieces called Washday at the par (book). Here is a picture:
Jim Dine:
He was born June 16, 1935 in cincinnati Ohio.
He is a pop artist, and he is sometimes considered part of the Neo-Dada movement( a movement with audio, visual and literary manifestations that had similarities in method or intent with earlier Dada artwork).I have also noticed he likes hearts.
7/2/18 - Wednesday
Brainstorm
Very excited to get started with art this year. I will be doing NCEA this year so it is going to be challenging but fun and exciting. I hope this year I will complete everything to the best I can with hopefully a excellence.
To start the year we did a brain storm about trying to find our Why. Here is mine:
Looking forward to art, can't wait to start :)
