Profiling project

We were given the profiling project to create our new internet personas. I decided to create a person who is the complete opposite of me to experiment what it is like to be a person who is completely unlike myself in the online reality. I began gathering my research of this person by exploring facebook and other web sources of what this person would be like... I started looking at movie stars and different facets of what I think a person who would be completely the opposite of me would be like. It's actually harder than I thought because being a certain way and looking the opposite is actually pretty difficult....

Google Earth Brainstorm Process

While I was working on my google earth project I decided to focus on my trip while I was traveling abroad through El Salvador, Korea, The Philippines, Japan, Germany, Sweden and France this past year. I wanted to have the viewer see how far I jumped from nation to nation within the 14 months I traveled and see the iconic buildings I saw such as the Gyongbukgong palace and the Eiffel Tower. I felt that if I could add pictures to this project it would enhance it but I am not sure if I would be able to since I have so many. Maybe shortening the project would be more practical but I'll see.

Romare Bearden

One of my favorite artists, Romare Bearden, I found randomly in my searches. I love collaging and I was thinking about implementing his work somehow in this class... either way it was nice to be reminded of his work and his importance of his culture in his work.

Google Earth Mapping Art Projects

I found this interesting art project using Google Earth that focuses on using the iconographic children's character, Waldo from the "Where's Waldo?" book series I read as a child. I loved this eye stimulating character and going almost crosseyed looking for him in my books.

Where's Waldo? On the roof!

I also found some ideas for curriculum in the classroom using google earth which is valuable for my major of art education. I know these new technologies are useful for the new ways to utilize learning in different ways of play. I hope to use this technology once the world advances to use computers in the art for children and high schoolers.

Conceptual Artist: Yoko Ono

I decided to research the conceptual artist, Yoko Ono and look into her life as an artist. What I found interesting was her art she was displaying when she met John Lennon, which was a white ladder leading to a magnifying glass hanging with the word YES imprinted on it when you look through it. This art exhibit supposedly was the way that they met and grew interest with one another. I always found Yoko Ono's work to be weird and strange, but as I get to know her work more, I find her to be more interesting and that she is trying to make statements more than just be strange and post-modern. Although I do not necessarily like all her work I appreciate it and respect it more as I explore conceptual art further.
