Well due to the little to no communication to make partners in this project, manly due to myself not making an effort to contact them, i will be making up the rules as the go in my head.
 Rule # 1 Freedom of Speech
Rule # 2 Equality amonst themselves
Rule #3 Each area will have to contribute to the neighboring area and vice versa
Rule # 4 Freedom of religion
Rule #5 Buisnesses are not people
Rule #6 The right to own property and mark it as such with consent

Fascination with Colors

     The first piece i will introduce is made by Kerstin Bratsch from Germany. It was made 2010, Oil on paper. The colors all blend with a each other with a outspoken sense of symmetry. Its very messy and out of place but looks as if it was made that way purposely. While looking at this art work it makes my eyes tense from the continues amount of information and pressure this work is exerting. The work only includes what seems like bendy straws, color pencils and colored tubes. The colors actually blend so well with each other that you will literally have to look closely so you might miss any.
   The second piece is more of my style. Its wild and spontaneous The Artist seemed as if he felt some urge and let his hand do all the talking. Im a big fan of the particular colors included. very bold and outspoken. The longer i look into the piece new shapes start to emerge. faces, body parts, animals even new colors start appearing. My jealousy is at an all new level. Made by Josh Smith from the U.S. in 2008.
   The next art piece was made by Amy Sillman, American in 2006. Now this piece im not obsessed with the color scheme, and this might sound a little too out of the box. I love how the colors in a way make their own shape within the painting. That might take a little too sink in but the way everything was shaped seemed as if she just painting dots of each other and let them drip into the canvas itself. As if the oil took life and wanted to become itself in its stage of consciousness.
  The final piece is my favorite. Made by Sol Lewitt, American Born, made in 2004. This piece was looks as if he took Legos and randomly arranged it into a beautiful psychedelic piece. The piece moves and twists and turns and looks as if it wants to break from the constant rectangular repetition. It waves and breathes and it wants to speak. No, im not on any drugs but this piece makes it seem that way. That illusion of movement and momentum.
  All of these art work pieces have and explosion of color that not only tricks the mind but expands it, Reforms it, and makes something beautiful out of it. You see these paintings expecting one thing and it morphs into another.

Mofongo & Beef

• Garlic
• Oregeno
• sazon
• adobo
• tomato paste
• peppers
• red onion

• Mashed fried plantains with garlic powder

Get a big pot, Heat it up to 350 degrees F with some oil. Add the ingredients and add the meat to the pot till it simmers. Add some water and watch is boil till the beef is soft and tender.

Fry a few plantains until you start to see some color. Mash the plantains and add some garlic its very simple.

sorry this took so long, my parents finally taught me how to make this.

My family has been making this for years already. One of the problems they have encountered making this is mostly burning the beef. thats the biggest concern and only happened once. The only problem i have is the smell of the cooking. It smells too good and makes me want to eat it while its cooking. you have to try this.


*side note: some also make chicken or other meats and mash it withing the plantans. i dont see the difference honestly.

i chose the french and american styles near the 2nd world war, and while i was looking for differences. i noticed a striking resemblance to each others work. Lots of what was focused on was the fashion and elegance of a person. Alot of drawings and paintings were focused on the actually persons clothing.

Now, i chose these two for the purpose of one drawing. i favor the french, not for the originality but for the color scheme. the french painter, Andre Derain painted a boat with such beautiful colors that pop out so vividly. the colors aren't even "barking at each other" the complement is sync which is amazing.Compare it to the seemingly boring American version. It looks like Andre woke up straight from an acid trip.Yet, i still cant ignore how well and how much care got put into the American Version. How well everything looks to balance each other out. The American version might be quiet and symmetrical, but sometimes you need that. I admire both for the differences and the similarities. The "groovy" tones of the french version and the more strict and on point version of the american. Which either tells me, During WWII, American were more of the "fresh cut" kind of guy, and The French were more "free spirited". This is just all my analysis just from looking and the paintings, dont actually take my word for it.

#6

1. all i see i irony is a way, food related by sharing ideas, taste color and other interests with one another. By him serving the blue cocktails, he literally shared his ideas/creativity with others.

2. Most of WW2 food source was canned goods, his piece says to me that, like soldiers at war, canned goods will be the only way we'll be able to survive and strive.

3. Well, by making your own supplies, and sharing them among the people. youre bonding with them spiritually. you are giving them food/energy. you are contributing among the people.

4. Im not sure how to answer this question really. Its self explanatory, they both realised the best way to combat any stressful environment is to be among the people. To join and communicate, learn, adapt and create more allies.

5. Well besides the unsettling aura of this piece, he is living inside his audience/consumers. He made a piece, took a piece of himself and added it to his work. so he is part of the art work and all who consume.

#2

1/2. Beauty is defined by she/he who views it. This woman in the video is very creepy and shocking. Yet there's a certain aura that lets us not have an unsettling feeling. That feeling of the absence of danger. Yes, the video is awkward and unusual but, whats no to say that its beautiful an accomplished in went it meant to say.

part B. I have no photos of myself, every photo of myself ever took or will ever be taken will never become.

REVIEW QUESTION

1. They want to bring what they see is a reflection of themselves. When i mean themselves i mean what makes them, "them"

2. They want their name, legacy, souls to live on under peoples breathe.

3. Depends, Some might say it makes it easier to document everyday things now with a simple touch of a button, others might argue it takes the effort and sweat away from it. Reducing it to nothing more than a visual aesthetic.

Lecture

A. B.She wanted to connect bits and pieces of her life, her memorize, things that mean a great deal to her and connect them as if the rope is her own self. Her memorize and experiences are what makes her.

C. Well its a trick question really and depends on the capacity to think outside and inside the box. Everyone has their own definition of any art work. To ask if they got the message the artist wanted to get across shouldn't even be allowed.

The Painting

Francois Morellet (1960)


Since i my vocabulary level is to minuscule to actually answer the question our teacher has given us. Ill just be explaining why i chose this painting. When i first walked into the museum i was attracted to this painting. I had no clue why i was but something about it just caught me. I started into it. Trying to memorize every pattern of squares and color distributions and tried to figure out why in the world i was in its hypnotic spell. The painting felt very tripping. The longer i stared at it the deeply it began to breathe. Growing larger and smaller in scale. Moving ever so slightly towards me, and its fellow paintings. My only regret after seeing this painting is not painting it first.

What do I want people to know about me; what makes me interesting? 

Nothing at all, im absolutely boring and you shouldn't get to know me.

If there was one thing I would want to "bear witness" to, that would be remembered, whether it be something about myself, something about my family or culture, or a problem with the world that needs to be fixed, what would that be? 

Itll probably be the fact the people cant be who they want to be. People are to focused on working than providing stories to tell. Why would i want to work a 9-5 job, get married, have kids, support my kids and watch that all happen in my kids? I loathed repetition
