3rd art gallery visit

Al Mitsu
1944
Oil painting
Jame Amos Porter
1957
Oil on Canvas
Frida Kahlo
1945
These are all of the three of the inspired self-portrait pieces I have decided to include from the art gallery visit. All of these pieces were found virtually from the Google art project website.

1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
I selected these inspiration pieces because I felt like these are exactly what self-portraits are supposed to look like. It is the person, and they are either doing something or just still.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
I selected the media to create my self-portrait because I felt like it would be the best way to create the image of myself that I wanted to.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
The challenges that were faced while creating my self-portrait was not being able to create the best image of myself. Since this was my first time creating a self portrait, I did not know exactly how it would come out, but I just kept trying and did not let that worry me.
4. How does this piece represent you?
This piece represents me because a big part of my life, and culture has to do with my hair. I have learned how to embraced my natural hair, and it is a hassle to deal with, but I have learned to love it because my hair is what makes me who I am.
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
I have decided to paint my self portrait on a canvas. I combined different colors to create the color of my hair in the portrait, and the background color.
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
I enjoyed working on this project because it was fun to create a image of myself. I decided to be really creative instead of just drawing something that looked exactly like me. I created an image of something that represents me.
7. What do you think of your final artwork?
I am very proud of myself for my final artwork. I tried as best as I can, and I believe that I did an amazing job.

Modules 7's video reviews

In the prairie school clip, one of the key concepts that I learned was about architecture becoming a style. This was something that became natural to society, and this is what made it a style. In the second video architecture as art it was described that architecture was something that becomes a language that flourishes more and more as time goes on. This means that it becomes something that is used in the everyday life. The videos relate to the readings in the text because in the text the history of architecture and how the structures of buildings, and designing came about. In my opinions I think these films were very informative and they were able to explain to viewers more in-depth about architecture, and the background behind it. I loved it because construction interests me so I love learning more about those things. I chose the films that I watched by random selection. I didn’t know what exactly they would be about but I am glad I picked the ones that I did because t...

Fun Art Gallery visit!

I recently visited the Albright-Knox art gallery located in Buffalo, New York. While visiting I saw a lot of very different creative pieces of art. Some that intrigued my to learn more, some that told a story, some that were difficult to understand, but overall it was a great time. There are some amazing artists featured in this gallery, and all of the works of art were beautiful to look at, and try to understand. The first work of art that made an impression on me was Frida Kahlo's self-portrait with monkey (1938).  Frida Kahlo's Self-portrait with monkey (1938) From seeing this portrait I learned a lot about Frida. This specific piece of art impacted me because she had gone through many life threatening accidents, and she resulted to painting to pass the time, and distract her from her boredom. She decided to include her pet monkey in this painting, and this is something that made me think that this is something that brings her joy despite all of the hardships that she...
