1. I selected the four videos from the list based on their titles. If the title sounded like something that I read or was familiar with I decided to watch. Also, as usual my kids helped me pick. We watch the videos together.
2. The Drawings of Michelangelo- The key concepts I learned in this video is that although you can go to a museum and almost anyone can view his work, previously that was not the case. He also, did not share his drawings before the final works that he created. He had his first apprenticeship at age 12. He used rough sketching of space and geometrical simplification of figures and the drawings he created are difficult for some artist to accomplish. The sculpture of David was the first colossal marble sculpture since antiquity in Italy. He used his sketches and drawings to rework his figures for perfection, looking for the inner state of the figure. Although, the Sistine chapel ceiling is a beautiful work of art it was difficult for him to complete. He often paid attention to detail, with a conflicting passion response to the beauty of the male body and the Christian faith. Michelangelo had conflicting feelings of hope and dread as he approached death.
Albrecht Durer: Image of a Master- He dragged art out of the Middle Ages from Europe. His paintings were more truthful and not idealized. He began his apprenticeship at age 15. He worked as a traveling craftsman for 4 years. His self portraits were a way of self inquiry. He claimed that other artist were jealous of him and threatened to kill him. He sometimes used 4-6 layers of each color in a painting to create an enamel like finish. He used a grid to accurately transfer his art work. He was constantly searching for the perfect form and refining his art. He also used printmaking to produce multiple copies and to reach more people.
Leonardo da Vinci: The Mind of the Renaissance- As a result of his intelligence he was fascinated with the observing the changes in nature. He showed a real passion for his drawings. He observed the hand gestures, faces, and motions of the soul. He was the first to use landscape as the main subject of a drawing, and was also the first to secretly do dissections. He did these dissections so that he can better understand the human body and how it worked. He believed a painting had two parts..spiritual (power of thought) and material (body). The body is nothing compared to the soul, and beauty and harmony are of divine nature. Geometry embraces everything in the universe. Although, he was skillful he didn't receive much work because he had a reputation for leaving work unfinished. He devoted himself to his inventions and research.
The Night Watch (Rembrandt)- This a massive painting that was a pilgrimage for the Dutch. The painting is described as creating a complex and intriguing picture. He approached the painting in a revolutionary way. Instead of having the people pose for the painting he let them act on their own. The merchants paid to be included in this painting. He persuaded movement into the picture and some figures actually moving from the frame. The painting was actually cut from a man claiming to act according to the lord, and the process of restoration began and was recorded.
3. The videos relate to the readings in the text because these videos are concepts that we read about. Whether in these 2 chapters or previous chapters.
4. I think the3 films were good. They add meaning to the things we read because it gives a more detailed look at certain topics. The textbook doesn't go into as much detail, so the videos help solidify what I consider to be a broad explanation.

Art6 Making/Material Exploration Drawings- Exploring Line
1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
It was okay using my hands as subject matter. I didn't realize how many lines were in my hands.
2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I used charcoal, because I thought it would be easier to maneuver in my least dominant hand, and because I just wanted to try something new and feel the difference between the two.
3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
The outline was hard, but after I got used to it, it wasn't so bad.
4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
In the dominant hand drawing the outline is definitely better but I think the lines of the hands were easier to draw using the least dominant hand. It could be because I knew what to expect but to me it was easier. It seemed less stressed and less controlled which made it easier and faster to manipulate the charcoal.
5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
It would have to depend on what effect I was going for. If I wanted a less controlled piece of work I would say definitely. Outline I may still would use my dominant hand.

Video Reviews
1. I selected Cairo Museum because when I was doing the readings my son saw the picture of Egypt and said he learned about Egypt in school. So I figured it would be fun to watch the video with him. I selected Beyond the Classical: Byzantine and Later Greek because I remember it from the reading and was a little unclear and I usually get it after watching the videos, and the last video The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure because I found the topic just to be interesting since a lot of art have some sort of human form in it.
2. More Human Than Human- the most thing that struck me and stayed with me in this video is that although the human body dominates in life, most artists depicts the human body in images that do not resemble our actual bodies. I was also fascinated with the Venus of Willendorf because the sculpture was deliberately made to look the way it did.
Cairo Museum- the most interesting fact I learned about this video was that half of the artifacts are actually in the basement and not on display. That the artifacts are hidden treasures and ancient knowledge of Egypt. It reminds of what modern day would be a time capsule. You get to learn about the past in the future.
Beyond the Classical: Byzantine and Later Greek- the Greek church had a strong influence on art and that it can be traced back to the ruler Constantine who defaced ancient Greek images of Gods like Zeus and images of Mary were brought in. I also learned that the art Post Byzantine had a familiar theme as previous art but with a new modern age which gave rise to a different name. Throughout history ancient Greek Architecture has the strongest influence.
The Measure of All Things: Greek Art and the Human Figure- I learned that some sculptures were considered silent weaknesses because it is hard to decipher what they actually meant. That we can know what they are made of, and that's what gives the sculpture the abstract style. That most of the figures were that of women.
3. The videos relate to the reading because the focused on some of the concepts that was within the reading. The videos are a direct correlation to the reading and in added tool to enhance my understanding to what I was reading.
4. I think the films were nice. The pictures were nice. I especially enjoyed the Cairo Museum and the images of the artifacts and the rulers. The add depth to my understanding because I was a little confused when I was reading the difference between Byzantine art and Post Byzantine art.

Video Review
Prairie Style
1. The key concepts I learned from that video is how the environment and design should be harmonious. I also, learned that Frank Lloyd Wright was very influential in the concept of buildings blending with the environment and not taking from the surrounding area. The place where you are going to build has great importance because the interior of the house should have a strong relationship with the landscape outside.
Architecture: The Science of Design
1. The one thing that was the most fascinating is that skyscrapers actually sway with the high winds. That if a building is not properly built that you may be able to feel this sway. The substructure of the buildings have to be able to accommodate dead weight as well as living weight.
Classical Architecture
1. Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome are very influential in modern day architecture. Classical architecture reflects the needs and values of that time. The buildings along the classical ideas are proportionate, harmonious and often have columns.
Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art
1. I like the way he thinks. He didn't make plans but his work is often derived from his current feelings. He felt as though buildings should create an emotional response and that you should have a sense of feeling when inside of the building. The building should interact with the human response.
2. The videos relate to the text because the covered the different architecture designs. The one thing that really related to the text was Frank Lloyd Wright. The text gave a brief description of his work, but the video went into m ore detail. The pictures were nice because you can see how the nature and house blended together. The open floor plans seem to blend with the outside of the homes.
3. The films were nice to watch. The added more meaning because it gave more examples and pictures, which made the concepts of the book solidify in my mind. It makes look at buildings a little differently, as far as the columns and the way windows are situated. If indeed this building compliments its surroundings or take away from the earths natural beauty.
4. I choose the last video because of the title. It seemed interesting to see the correlation between art and architecture. I also wanted to see if there was a beauty in the building beyond the interior decorator designs.

Art Making/Material Exploration #3 Installation
Installation art is art that takes up the space ion a room. Installation art can be anything you want it to be if you can legitimize it. The term "installation" art is about 30 years old and can vary in size and location. Installation is often site specific art. It can be assumed that the viewer makes the meaning from the images and the space.
Materials in installation art varies.The materials used is what the artist finds unique to what message they are trying to convey. The material can be as simple as nature itself to man made products.
Installation art is created to capture something in a time or place. To allow the viewer to place themselves in the work of art.
I found an earthwork called Serpent Mound, near Locust Grove, Ohio to be interesting. I found it to be interesting because it is a natural work of art that changes with the seasons of life.
I feel more of a connection with the Serpent Mound because it is a natural work of art but because it also goes through the changes of season and life just like I do.
I wanted to choose the human experience and self theme.
I used materials from my personal space like my sneaker boxes, photo, and bottles of body spray.
This installation is located in my room because it is where I spend the most time when I want to just get away and think of my next moves. I also chose my room because I chose materials that were personal to me.
My installation is some of what I guess is my collection. I collect sneakers and body sprays. I have sneakers from as many as 4 years ago and always shop the semi annual sales at Both and Body Works and Victoria Secrets.
I used line and directional movement because the boxes continue to move upward. Mass and shape are also used because my installation has a definite shape and mass present.Color is also used as well as light.
Planning and creating the installation was not that hard. I wanted to create something that is a reflection of me which I found to be an easy task. I found it to be easy not because the simplicity of the installation, but because what better topic to express than yourself. There are always material around you that you can use to create a self creation. Choosing the site was simple because I think of my room as my own piece of serenity away from the rest of my house and away from the rest of the world.

Peer Review
Stephen Tellerhttp://kingcarrera1.blogspot.com/
Meagan Aiello http://aiellome01-artonlinelearning.blogspot.com/
When looking at Project #1: (Elements and Principles), did you agree with the element or principle the artist listed with the images? Did you see other elements and principles in the images?
I agreed with their images. I saw other elements and principles throughout the pictures but that was expected to me. One thing I am learning is that more often than not there are multiples things going on in art work. I like the varity in the images and the realness of the images.
When looking at Project #2: Where there any images in the Peer Blogs the same as your own? If yes, what were they? Where the reasons the image was selected the same or different as your own?
An image that I noticed in both of the blogs I reviewed was "kill Yourself" and the reason chosen was pretty much the same just worded differently. It's the words that caught the attention of both of the other people as well.
Where there any images that your Peers selected that pique your interest now? If yes, what are they and what is your connection with them? What would you want to know about them?
I liked on picture from my first blog. It was the sculpture of the mother and child. I liked that image because it was actually my daughter who noticed the faces before me. It was like we were living in that moment of mother and child.
What do you think about the process of reading your peers reflection? Do you find this to be a valuable in your learning?
I liked reading my peers responses. I also enjoyed looking at their photos. I think it's interesting how we all have varying views of the same concepts and it's eveident in our images. I feel as though it is valuable because maybe sometimes we miss certain things and reviewing others works helps us to strengthen our own insight.

Video Review
Through the eyes of a sculptor
1. The key concepts I learned in this video was that every stone has a different smell. The stone is tested with water for the quality of color and of veins present. Some sculptor's prefer certain qualities over others. That marble appears as snow on a mountain and earlier extraction of marble was dangerous even deadly. Some sculptor's use "bridges" in the work to reduce the chance of damage or breakage in the process of transferring. The sculptor makes a clay sculpture then a mold and next a final mold. Wet stone is heavier but easier to cut and marble is better than limestone. The process of carving is time consuming so the carver needs to be fast as well as precise.
Glass and Ceramics
1. The key concepts I learned from this video is that glass is everywhere. When I did the reading I was perhaps closed minded and only thought of glass as used in art, but after watching the video I realize that glass is everywhere and used for many different purposes. Glass is versatile and has many functions. Glass be worked either cool or hot and that a final firing process helps preserve what was created. Ceramics is made from a clay base. The temperature and purity of the clay determines whether the final product will be a fine china or a floor tile. Ceramics are also part of our daily lives in parts of car mufflers and can be as strong as steel. The firing process is also important in ceramics because it determines the final characteristics of the product.
Installation Art
1. The one concept that I learned from the video is that in installation art the artwork takes over the space and often the environment determines the type of installation in that space. Installation art varies in size and the term "installation art" is fairly new. I liked the french man concept that anything can be art as long as it can be legitimized.
2. The videos relate directly to the test because the text gave specifics about the different topics. The text went through more history and gave examples past and present. The videos helped make the words read seem more real by giving a visual and audio experience to the concepts in the texts.
3. The films were nice. I like reading the material, but I like actually seeing the process to the end results that the texts shows us. It gives more meaning to the final works because the videos showed the process and thought that accompanies the beautiful works of art. For me personally, I will better appreciate things because they are a working progress and have meaning beyond what I could at a glimpse comprehend.

Project # 2 Art Gallery Visit #1- Responding to Artworl
A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why?
Frank Still, Jill- This made an impression on me because it was a different way of viewing it after learning the different principles in artwork. The piece became more than just a set of lines, but the lines also, created a focal point. I liked it because it really showed that the lines of an artwork has importance.
Tom Wesselmann, Bedroom Painting #40- This piece caught my attention as soon as I rounded the corner. The colors are so bright and compliment each other. The painting itself looked smooth, flawless even.
Nancy Dwyer, Kill Yourself- I liked this one because it was like the message was opposite of what was actually being visualized. When I think kill yourself I think dark uneasy feelings, but this piece had bright colors and a more calming effect especially with the bubbles.
B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why?
Suzanne Valadon, Mother and Child at Bath- I felt a connection with this piece because it reminds me of the times me and my own children had our bathtime. It was a sense of I understand the feeling and what the mother could be thinking. It was a peaceful time and a time of bonding between parent and child.
William Harnett, Music and Literature- I liked this piece because I am a big fan of music. Music is a part of my life that actually helps calm me and put me into a more tranquil place.
Roy Arden, Walmart Store (Apple Jacks) Burnaby, B.C.- This piece I liked because it really reminds me of my night last night. It was a reminder of spending time with my children.
C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?
Yves Tangoy, Indefinite Divisibility- This piece captured my eye with the different elements but it was somewhat unclear as the meaning or what the artist intended. I would like to know more about what message the artist was actually trying to convey because it is a beautiful piece of work.
Tom Wesselmann, Still Life #20- I liked this piece because of the realness of it. The sink and the light, and the medicine cabinet were all life like. I would like to learn more about this because it seems like it is a glimpse into our past, but yet can be very much related to our present and future.
Kara Walker, African/American- This piece was interesting and set apart from a series of this authours' work. I think it was more interesting as to why this piece wasn't included with her other works, but when reviewing the picture I snapped it became more of an interest because of the rflections captured in it. I thought that was different from all the other images I captured, and would like to know..Why use material that can capture reflections?

Art Making/Material Exploration#2 Logo Design
1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo.
I thought making the logo design would be easy, but after viewing the videos I really had to think. I was trying to create a design that would be easily understood without needing much interpretation. I also had fun.
2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.
I started out with 2 separate ideas and at the end sort of brought them together. I did a lot of brainstorming mentally. That is what usually works best for me, then I just let it all out in one interrupted moment. Also, I had to take into account what colors, if any that I wanted to use and also what type of medium would best suit the logo.
3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?
That although, you may have a concept in your head things may change once you visually see the concept. That you have to be creative and open minded enough to change your sketch, to create the logo with the meaning that you intended.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos, powerpoint, and reading material for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
The most important thing I learned from the material that was provided is that your logo should be able to be understood. That you have to take into account your target audience in order for your log's meaning should be understood. I also learned that logo creation can sometimes take a team with varying ideas and that there also is trial and error when creating designs. It's not just one design that makes the end product.

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos, powerpoint, and reading material for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
The most important thing I learned from the material that was provided is that your logo should be able to be understood. That you have to take into account your target audience in order for your log's meaning should be understood. I also learned that logo creation can sometimes take a team with varying ideas and that there also is trial and error when creating designs. It's not just one design that makes the end product.
