Module #9 Hands

Otherhand

Using my hand as a model gave me a familiar subject but with a different perspective and appreciation of what I had been looking at all of these years. Drawing my hand on paper was less painful than I thought after employing some of the techniques that I have gleaned from my reading and film work, most importantly patience. I chose pencil as my medium for obvious reasons, it is erasable. Working with my dominant hand is a new enough adventure for me during this course and now I am being challenged to go even further now and use my off hand to draw its counterpart. This endeavor seemed to test boundaries for my hands relationship with one another revealing a pleasant surprise. Though it was an awkward feeling drawing with either hand I became comfortable over time using both hands. The outcomes using either hand were not that dissimilar and represented a noble effort on my part. My hands appear to have some symbiosis with each other that I had been subduing. This was a lesson to me to start allowing my off hand a little more freedom to show what it can do. In the future I will be less hesitant to us either hand while creating a work of art.

Module #6 peer review

https://balkart.blogspot.com/ https://lookontheright.blogspot.com/      These two blogs display the work and attention to detail that both of these bloggers used while creating the slideshows “elements and principles of art”. They both showed the elements (lines, value, shapes, form, etc...) and the principles (balance, contrast, movement, pattern, etc..) required of this project in personal and dynamic pictures.      The second project was an evaluation of their visit to the art gallery and the similarities between their postings of pictures and mine. Although there were few similarities between mine and their projects I was surprised to see how similar their two projects were. They both chose Albright Knox Art Gallery as their venue of choice just as I had but they both chose primarily oils on canvas as their main preference of medium, they both chose “The Dog Walking” as one of the painting that caught their attention.      I think th...

Module #2 CNN article Review

The videos relate to the article by laying a foundation for the correlating origins of the developement of art and civilized society. Art discovered in the Chauvet cave created during the Upper Palaeolithic era demonstrated the influence that the psyche had on developing society into an organized construct. The ability to copy nature in art, architecture,music while applying order and morality is a human attribute. Changeux and  Ramachandrans (20th century neuroscientist) , scientific view of aesthetics and art form the relationships between nature and mans urge to copy nature not only in the order of our codes and mores of our way of interacting with one another but additionally demonstrate the urge for humans to exemplify through artistic expression a human representation of these feelings of the human experience. The reading,videos,art and architecture represented all  illustrate the origins of Homo sapiens and the emergence from dark...
