Blog Post #7 - Reflection Blog

Using my own blog is easier to look back all of my works and helpful for sharing some works with other people. I can also say that it is more interesting activity than paper work because we've used many materials and sources on the internet. In addition, i've learned the importance of putting citation if i get an idea from other people and how do i post comment on other person's blog.

I haven't spent very much time to work on my blog outside of class. I've done my blog works mostly in the class hours and i've worked on it at home when i haven't finished it.

Creating blog is a type of art. There isn't exactly same blog as yours anywhere in the world. You make some embellishment of your blog by yourself and post your own writing.

Most memorable activity is food art project and i've been enjoying activities which let us do Internet research and writes about it.

Blog Post #6 - Memes and Art - The pepper Spray Cop goes Viral

Georges Seurat, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, 1884-1886

Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth (1948)

The Creation of Adam (1508-1512), fresco painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo (1475-1564),

1) This is art. because the creator creates new things which people didn't think of it and it also includes meaning on the work.

2) I believe the creator wants to criticize the cop's behavior and let people see it so they can judge and think about it. This is "art for social causes" because it is created by happening social event.

3) Using a meme and re-creating art images in different ways looks like a type of plagiarism but it is okay if you put citation or mention original artwork.

4)

Practice Post #6 - Internet Research

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Jane Avril. c. 1893. Poster; lithograph printed in 5 colors.

1) Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec uses people as the subjects in his artwork. He captures peopel in daily life and emphasizes the movement of people with colors.

2) He uses photography, painting and  print as a medium. For example, he takes a picture of a person or people at first then he sketches with oil on the litho stone then he prints it. In his sketch, he tries to show the motion of subject which is not in the picture.

3) I like his style because i saw many printings look similar but he has his own styles and it is very special. i believe it is great to create own style and it has to be respected.'
