Artist name: Jackson Pollock
Medium: Oil paint
Date of the art piece: 1950
The date of visiting museum: 05.19.18
I went to the Museum of Modern Art to see “One: Number 31, 1950”. It has ambiguous
figure. It is hard to find out which elements go with foreground and background. This art piece
has texture. The feeling is so intensive and rough due to scatting painting. When seeing this
piece, it contains all the grayscales as well. It is really whimsical, active, and intensive. It has
quick and violence movements as well. Its color is in mostly through all the grayscales and some
brown. For using achromatic color, it gave us cold feeling; in the meanwhile, it gave angry
feeling. This artwork is covered the big part of wall. Despite of huge size of artwork, the feeling
became to increase. I felt that art work expressed the mixed feeling: angry, confusion, sadness.
People feel complex and several feelings not just one feeling. I think the artwork might look
differently to people depending on what people feel at that moment. It does not have various
colors, but I can feel many things and make me think rather than seeing color art works.
I chose the desert line work that I have done. This art piece has different figure than first
work that I saw in the museum. The art piece that I have done has obvious figure rather than art
work and also contains smooth and calm feeling. It, however, has same texture work and black
and white picture. Even though those of works are texture and similar color, they give me
completely different feeling due to material of medium.

It was in front of a church, and when i started to chalk around it, someone passing by asked me what am I doing? and i am not allowed to do it because its the church. I answered back that this is the sidewalk and it’s for the public. He went inside and bring the priest. By that time i had finished and washed off the chalk , and left.
When I heard him feeding the priest lies i went back and i explained myself. turn out that the day before, there was a manifestation and they thought that may art was related to it. The person apologized and everybody left satisfied. Communication is key to tolerance

it was done on staples’ parking lot.
Believe it or not. the manager was not happy with it, and gave me a whole speech. I ended up washing it off.

my starting point is the cast shadow of the sun over a street sign.
It looks like an F, so I find it interesting to build type on it.
The funny part is that you have to work against the clouds.
It was a cloudy day that did not help. Moreover the time in between I finished wetting the letter and took the picture the chalk dries too quickly
I wished to achieve the actual color of the cast shadow

I get really dirty to mix up the color and had that final result.

From the starting point, the first thing I did was to look at it from different angles to see what I could do with it. Then I saw an H but I noticed that the third line was too high up for any other letters but not for an exclamation mark so I drew that. The question mark was added because I want more to it but also keeping the simplicity. After taking the picture, I decided to explore for with it and found out I like it more when it’s flipped upside down.

Graphic Design Principles 1

Artist : Evelyn Hoffer l Date:1964 l  Medium: Photographs dye transfer paint

Name of exhibit Evelyn Hofer in 3 parts: Portraits, Landscapes, Still Lives

Location: Danziger Gallery

This image requires alt text, but the alt text is currently blank. Either add alt text or mark the image as decorative.The foreground in this art piece or photograph  stands outs. From first glance all it is  simple green grass. Its not so simple though, the grass brings out color in the photo and correlates with the background and helps the image overall and background. Showing contrast and layers of contrast throughout the photo. The background is foggy air with a  bridge behind it (that u can see through the mist). The main subject of the subject is a black male wearing a bright shirt sitting on a bike. He positioned right in the middle of the bridge and is covering a tree u can see in the background only by a little bit. Being a very old picture the texture is very grainy, its not very clear due to technology/camera that was used in the 1960s. The motion the male is presenting and the overall picture presents is stiff and neural . There’s is no emotions in the males face and is posture and the way his body is positioned on the bike is stiff. One of the project Ive done n Graphic design principles 1 was project 3 SelfieMotion. In one of the beginning steps for the project we had to take a selfie presenting a emotion in front of a white bland background. Seeing this photo the differences was plentiful. My face showed my expression and the way my body was positioned made it look like I was ready and excited to take this picture. The male in the photo looked like he didn’t want to be there and somewhat sad. Just an expressionless face.
