Fugue , 2016
Rachel Ostrow
Medium: oil on panel
This piece of artwork was the one that most stood out to me. It looks like an opening to another dimensions. I can relate this to a movie I recently watched, intrasteller. Towards the ends there was a part where the main actor entered into another dimension and the images looked just like this painting. I can also relate this to the recent project we did in class, with the saturation a in color.
When completing this project , it was bit challenging to work with gouache. I was able to work my way around the gouache and complete the project. This project helped me have a better understanding of the terms : value, broad-range and narrow-range. For the future, I will be more open to different types of materials , and not be afraid to mess up on the first try.
“I knew You Before You Was Born” by Kambui Olujimi
Medium : Wood, Brass, glass walking stick, canes, foot stool, and faux pearls.
This piece grasped my attention primarily because the artist, Kambui Olujimi, creates his work to address his experience of commemoration and loss. In this piece, he evokes a pleasant memory and personal story about a neighbor activist who was his friend. Catherine Arline, the activist, died in 2014. He incorporated the two original doors from her apartment to create a dedicated piece just for her along with the pearls Catherine had worn. When I first looked at the piece, I gained a sense of understanding prior to reading the history underneath the artwork. Numerous of emotions can be concluded from this, you gain a sense of loss and it instantly impacts you. I reflected on the loss of someone who was of importance to me. This piece persuaded me to do the same to commemorate my friend as well.

“Dragon in circle with clouds”
I used 4 colors from the color wheel, which are Red, Yellow, Green and Blue; each of the color represents a element, blue represents water, red represents fire, yellow represents metal and green represents earth. I choose dragon because dragons are tend to define by element that they represents.
Work time: 2 hours
I loved this phase one. It was a little bit hard on painting like always since wash is not what I’m used to paint with. But I liked that we had a partner and that we had an opportunity to come up with our own creative ideas. There was really room for our own creativity. I loved it.

While exploring the BRIC art gallery , I stumbled upon this piece ; it caught my eyes right away. The artist was able to depict the use of her African heritage through still-life objects. In addition, the artist was able to show how natural resources (the bucket, water, dirt) relate to her concept of African heritage and using the fabrics to show what part of Africa they came from . The art piece also shows, the evolution of technology and how it effects the natural resources. By putting the natural resources on the floor and the projector on the top , shows the hierarchy of technology . This artist has a similar concept to my theme of art work , because I like to use my heritage as a huge theme for my art pieces.
