Final Project

fieldtrip project

Name of artist: Martina Lopez
Title of Work:Bearing in Mind I
1)What is the backround?
-The backround includes a beach, with some bodies of water. On the beach is some plant growth and to the left is a far away group of swimmer. The sky is dark and there are seagulls to the right.
2)What are the image elements?
-The main image is a woman, most likely a mother, with a look of serenity on her face, holding, and almost protecting a small child. Her clothes and hair are simple but elegant, including the simple silver ring she wears on her finger. She stands in front of a garden gate, draped with leaves.
3)What is the work about?
-I think it is about the mother-child relationship. The mother holds the baby so dearly and lovingly, protecting it from harm. Her face is calm, but strong and brave. The serenity makes you want to run to her arms, knowing you will be safe.
4)How do the title and theme relate?
-I think they both reflect on relationships and what we will do for those people we hold in our hearts.

Final project;Family Affairs:Genealogy in the 21st Century

I have concluded that my final project topic should be the ongoing conflict of religion at Chautaqua Institution. This conflict was an especially important issue this past season, concerning musical artists and other such things. I disagree with such ruckus, all religions should be welcome at Chautauqua, especially the religion it was founded on, christianity. How I am going to get up to Chautauqua to get these pictures is a mystery to me, but let me know what you guys think!

Anthony G"cough"colea project:Part 2

Ok here it is. Lets see if anyone can figure out how anytimes i'm in the picture. Thanks go out to Allie, Korey, Tori and Mrs. Carlson, you guys were a great help! Let me know what you think!

P.S. Don't you think maybe one of you should be starting soon...?

Part 2:Anthony G*cough*colea:my idea

For this project I believe my photo should take place in the orchestra room. In the room the teacher(Mrs. Carlson), should be conducting and students should be playing. However I should be playing at least once in each section, maybe more. Not just playing, standing, looking out the window, freezing to death, maybe even sitting at Mrs. Carlson's desk. So I will be all over the room. Although this is only a start, let me know what you guys think!!!

Part 1:Anthony G*cough*colea:The Blizzard

In the photograph, "the Blizzard" you see several Anthonys in a school uniform, some are climbing a fence, some are just walking, one is running away with a handful of potatoes and another is clinging to an adult. In the backround you see a fence, snow, a church/school-like building and birds in the sky. Each person has a desparate, scared look on their face, as if they can't wait, even need to get out. That the building in the backround is really, truly terrible. Like most of his pictures, you seem to think he is at a prep/private school, that isn't so great. You may come to believe the adult is his mother or father, and he is begging to be brought home.

Warhol Self-Portrait:Part 2

Warhol Self-Portraits:Part 1

1)"Self Portrait", 1986, Silkscreen ink on synthetic polymer paint on canvas, 106 x 106 inches,1963/1964, Silkscreen ink and synthetic polymer paint on linen 47 x 39.4 cm,"> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Slideshow/slideshowContentFrameFrag.jhtml?xml=/arts
/2005/03/01/warhol/upixwarhol02.xml">

2)These two portraits share a media of Silkscreen ink and synthetic polymer paint. Visually they share the same general idea, changing of color with a black contrast, however Warhol himself looks completely different in each picture. I believe through all his self portraits he was trying to present the idea of moods. In these two portraits he looks totally and completely different. One is cool and calm the other is crazy and unpredictable. The main difference is what each picture represents. However, the material each is done on is also different.

3)I think that these portraits are simply about the moods and expressions of Warhol. Isn't that what art is, expression? We all have different moods and phases in our lives, and sometimes we need to reflect on that. Art is a great way to do that, just stand back and look at the whole picture. Warhol brings across an image, to me at least, of this mysterious genious artist. But honestly, maybe he is just like everyone else, but can express his inner most thoughts in a different way. Either way, he gets some credit from me, expressing yourself isn't easy, and his art is amazing.
