Self-Evaluation for Humor

I thought that project was very fun to do. I loved everyone's idea of humor and it seem like it was a lot of sarcastic humor. If there was anything I needed to improve on, it would be getting a bigger afro that would have made it very funny.

Final Draft Notes for Humor

I decided to do an afro with random items in it.

• Personal experience
• Jumbo size afro
• Random items in the afro
  

Humor Rough Draft Notes

I want to make a wacky invention that takes away the uses of storages for:

• school supplies
• grooming materials
• personal items

I want to use an afro (jumbo size) to have all of those things in. If I can use anything else, or if there is another idea I can use, it will be included in the final draft of notes.

Charles Ray Text Notes

Before Reading
Did he actually make that mannequin?
Is that firetruck even real?
I wonder what is inside the clock?

During Reading
His work is successful by the audience's reactions and actions.
He wants to create ongoing tension with his work.
It sounds like that he wants to be a rebel or different from the norm.

After reading
How successful can someone be when you want to create controversy/tension that is ongoing in one's art?
What makes art so different for one artist to another?
Why does art have to be so "weird" in the sense of being different from society?

Mint Museum Trip

That was my first time going to the Mint Museum, and I can honestly say that it was a good experience for me because that was my first time actually seeing all different kinds of art. I liked the larger than life piece that had realism mixed with a little abstraction. I was familiar with a lot of the artist that work was there; there were some I did not know about, but it did not take away from the experience. I would not mind going again because, it would help me as an artist to get ideas for artwork in the future.

Self Evaluation for Activism project (Negativity)

I really thought that we did a good job on this project because it was a good topic to do a brochure with. It was a good thing that we decided to use a brochure as our project because we wanted it to be "professional-like". I would probably read it before printing because of the grammatical errors and the size of the images. We could have used a fake picture that was angry and it may have looked better. I don't think that a poster would have done it justice because we did not want to stop people from walking, we wanted them to have the brochure with them and when they are at home, they can read and relate. It is no guarantee that they will remember what they saw on a poster because it was only read once. I would love to do a project again as a group because it was a new experience and it got me to see how others worked and how to accomplish an objective together.

Final Draft Notes for Activism (Negativity)

We decided to do a brochure for our art; it will include:

• a cover image (Bitching and Moaning)
  
• a story about someone who's having a shitty day with an image to show him
  
• quotes that people use to show negativity or at least thinking them
• a message for the readers in the end

We also are going to video us passing the brochures out to show action that we are taking about negativity.
