Fall 2012 Tu/Th Survey of Art

Throughout the storm of Hurricane Sandy, many people on the internet and especially social networks posted information and pictures having to do with the storm. Many of the posts were true but some were fake. I feel like there was not a purpose to the fake pictures and misleading information. Many people lost their lives during the storm and to post funny or even more horrific pictures or information was wrong. For example, the pictures of the New York skyline that were fake were pointless. The real New York skyline was already gloomy and a horrific sight because the sky almost never looks like that so there was no need to fake a picture. The one of the shark is the worst because it made people afraid to even walk outside even after the storm was over. Adding fear and heartache into peoples lives is never funny nor should it be taken lightly. Although there was a lot of information that was fake the real info and pictures were very helpful. It gave the people who had power insight into what other people in New York had to deal with and also gave them ideas on how to help them.

To begin with, I would like to first say that i do not o to museums. The last time i went to a museum was about two weeks ago for my art project before that event I haven’t been to a museum since middle school. By saying this, if i would go to a museum for my own enjoyment I would definitely prefer going to the original’s instead of duplicates. Also,  I would think that to get the true effect of a picture you would have to see it face to face instead of through machinery, which can change the shading or contrast of how the portrait or painting should look like. But if that was the only thing left of the painting was a duplicate, I wouldn’t mind seeing it for a project review or something corresponding to that.

The Renaissance viewers would be curious and interested. They would be so curious in the painting of the holy trinity by Masaccio because Masaccio, using linear perspective was able to make the fresco look as if it was a 3D figure while the painting stayed flat. The illusion of linear perspective on the painting was interesting to the viewers because it was a revolutionary way of creating art and many other renaissance painters tried to accomplish what masaccio had done.

Yes I think that art is a type of food. Food just like art comes in many different types of forms. It can be made in many different ways. Food is also a type of creation, it is a very special work of art. We cherish it and we also admire it. Food just like art takes lots of skills because you have to skillful in cooking to be able to cook a really wonderful dish. Food can be served in many different type of ways. People can use different types of themes. For example, you can decorate the food by applying little flowers and cut up vegetables to make it seem fancy. When a person sees really great food they don’t just react with their mouths, they also feel amazed because food just like art comes from the heart.

it is really creative to come up with art and food but i don’t see art in this work at all..i find it like if they were playing with food. There are many diseases out there and a lot of people you don’t know touching the food, i just think is disgusting . you don’t know if the table that the food is being put was clean or maybe they use it to put something else and yet there is food there. also you dint know where people put there hands on and they touch the food the thought of it is not so pleasant.

After watching Jennifer Rubell’s Brooklyn Museum Galla, i think that food art is…the most stupidest, disgusting, unmannerly thing I have ever seen in my life! I do not like the idea of my food laying everywhere uncovered where anyone can touch and do what ever they please to it without me knowing. The affect of it would just make me hungry; but i was in a Food Museum like the one i saw in the video, i would starve myself instead of eating that food. I mean, the amount of disease you can catch from this “food art”! And I don’t judge, i am just in a position where i have to say something because it is an assignment.

I think that the virtual recreations of Michelangelo’s ceiling  fresco paintings in the Sistine chapel are actually very great and very detailed. You can see it clearly, you can see the details and it is very close to reality. I can see every color and every shade. It is definitely very clear.I think the people did a great job in recreating these fresco’s. I think these paintings are still very significant for the society because the Michelangelo was a legend. He wasn’t even a painter, he was a sculptor. Another thing is that the painting on the ceiling wasn’t only of one drawing but of many different pieces. And also he completed the painting in roughly four years which is just amazing.
