Final Draft Notes for the Final

I think that I will choose the "History of comic book artist/writers" piece. It will include

• hopefully pictures of the artist/writers of the most popular comics
• it would be in a timeline format
• have random images of the famous comic figures

I will use images and a poster board for the project.

Jackson Pollock movie viewing

I can't believe that Teri, the documentary's main character, would be so prideful to let 2 million dollars and then 9 million dollars go like she did. I know that should stand up for what u believe in, but there comes a time when u need money to live and she wasn't in my opinion making smart choices. I thought that the movie was very entertaining and and informative. I know that if I was in her shoes, I would have sold at the first 2 million dollar offer, but that's just me.

Rough Draft Notes for Final Project

I haven't decided on what to do for my final project yet, but here some ideas that I narrowed down:

• The history of comics
• I-Phone humor piece
• Evil warding necklace

I will try to have something more concrete before the end of Wednesday.

Art 21 viewing

I liked both artists we saw because they each had different objectives in there work. I'm more familiar with Alfredo Jaar because of the lecture I saw but, Judy Pfaff was very interesting also. Her art seem like it was more personal and Jaar's was more political. Anyway, both artist broaden my mind in art to hopefully make me a better artist.

Museum viewing

I enjoyed the trip to the Mint Museum of Craft and design because of the neat quilts that were on display. The gift shop had some pretty cool items there also. The only damper on the day was that it was raining all day. Anyway, I would not mind going again because it was a good experience.

James Nachtwey film viewing

I enjoyed the film because it shows a person who is truly dedicated to his work. I was impressed with all of the pictures because it showed real emotion. He knew when to take the picture at the right moment and also knew when to put the camera down to not show everything.

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?
