Museum stuff;)

On December 3rd our GD class went on a field trip to this museum at JCCC.  It was cool, I enjoyed it thoroughly.  It brought me great joy!
Well my favorite was a work in the up and down collection in the Nerman museum.

                                     

OriginalFake – KAWS Companion (Resting Place)

I liked all of Kaws' collection but this one was my favorite.  It just contrasts so perfectly. Especially with the black against the bright neon colors of it's intestines.  

It uses good line and form. if you look at the innards, you can see that the artist really uses great details.

The Art appears almost heavy because i can feel the sadness/ depression of the work.  The yellow eye appears to be piercing and sorrowful.

Soooo......
The gist of the article is basically talking about the "the online scrutiny" by colleges and it's effect it on high school applicants. The article comes off as "chilling", because it makes the application process more tense than it already is.
In my opinion, Colleges have a right to look a their applicant's social media page.  I don't think there is a problem because every other person can see their PUBLIC profile.  That applicant should create an image that they're not embarrassed to show a college.
So, you know, if your digital image isn't appropriate.... then you should scrub it.

Good luck!!!!!! 

Graffiti vs Logo

Hi there,
When it comes to logos and Graffiti, there are as much similarities as there are differences.  They are compared and contrasted as they are threaded through the fabric of current art.

Let's elaborate :)

well.....
Graffiti is considered a drawing that is scribbled or sprayed ILLICITLY on a surface in a public place.  The main materials used for graffiti would be paint (typically spray paint) and marker pens.  Most people would consider graffiti as vandalism.  Through this unique and abstract form of art there are usually underlying social or political messages within it.

As for the Logos.....
A logo is defined as a design that is adopted by a commercial enterprise to identify it's product.  Today a logo is often with trademark or brand.  They are considered very modern and mainstream, for example, social media logos are incorporated with blue.  Logos are very organized and distributed throughly throughout the public.  Logos can be found on clothing, billboards, and buildings

Let's compare....
Both forms of Art are either writings or drawings.  They each have a purpose, whether its conveying a message or branding a company.  Each contain the personality of the artist.

Okay.... bye ;)
