Here is the photograph of myself.

Inspiration 1- Portrait of baby de Almeida -Noemmia Mouroa 1942

Inspiration 2- Female Portrait-Ramon Pichot i Soler 1964

Inspiration 3-Portrait of a Woman, Said to be Anne Catherine- Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun 1803

I chose these as inspiration because besides the fact that I wanted a woman, I thought all these were really nice and they show the woman being more serious and fashion with what shes wearing on her head. These pieces represent me because they show women who have spunk and are classy. I chose to use pen for my media because I love pen, I feel as though pens glide easily. I struggles with the shading the most when making my self portrait because it was a pen that I was using. I used elements such as lines, emphasis (on the head) and shape. I enjoyed working on this piece because I love seeing the end results. When making portraits, I always think I'm doing a good job when I'm doing each individual piece of the portrait, but when I look at the entire thing I always find it funny when I look at the whole thing.

Last post. Module 16

When I looked back at my first post, I can still relate to it. I still believe that art comes in different forms, but I now can view art in a different way now that I know the different elements that are in art. I look at art differently in that sense. My expectations were to learn more about the different forms of art and also the different artists because at first I did not have a favorite artist. Art to me is an expression from an individual is made up of different elements that create something that is thought or emotion provoking.
In my original post, I did not have a favorite artist, now my favorite artist is Michelangelo because I'm infatuated with his sculptures.
I have taken online courses before but never an art course. I would definitely take another art online course in the future because it was not overwhelming.

In the lowdown on lowbrow video I enjoyed seeing the pop art of the west coast and the cool artwork that they showed. I think this reflects back to the creation of the art exhibits that we created because it shows how they had a certain theme and they thought outside the box. Its basically a subculture inside of the art culture.
In Acquiring Mind video, I enjoyed learning more about the director of the Metropolitan museum of art. I was intrigued when they spoke about Philippe de Montebello past and how he came about. I think this relates to the project that we did because it shows you things that you need to be able to do to run a successful exhibit.

The "tate Modern" video was not working...

Art Exhibition Curator

I enjoyed making this mock art exhibition. I was something that I never thought I would do and it challenged me to get creative in a way that I have never been before. I decided to have a theme that was focused on texture. I love seeing texture in artwork and If I were to ever own an exhibit it would be something similar to that. I wanted to show that there is texture in different themes in art. Meaning, I chose different pieces that has similar elements but show different things. I chose pieces that show texture through painting fabric/drapes, texture through nature (trees, water, etc.) and texture through the human body (veins in skin, facial expression, muscle).
