I've joined the class. I'm 3 weeks behind. Thank you very much to Dianna and Riley for letting me know that I was missing out on something great, and thank you to Dianna for giving me a heads up on the latest project. The gears are already turning.
George O'Keefe has been an influence in my last few projects. For the first project, I think I'll be doing a rendition of O'Keefe's, particularly the ones depicting animal skulls in the sky. Peter made some suggestions, but I think I'm going to be looking through O'Keefe's history to see what I can pull from there. Perhaps her experiences traveling or her own inspirations.
OBJECTIVES,
- Explore theories, concepts and propagated myths related to "originality," intellectual property, and appropriation.
- Question evolving role of new media and tools in contemporary art practice.
- Further examine the apparent disconnect and/or tension between "classical/traditional" production and "new genre" practices.
- Survey visual art precedents and further research and study objects of art in their historic development and stylistic contexts.
I'm worried my ideas don't quite match up to these goals.
Additional notes:
- Consider the conceptual underpinnings of the original art work as well as your proposed objective and how your "aesthetic" highlights or challenges these concepts/themes.
- Foster a print (smaller than 13 x 19) at 300 pip. Save at maximum resolution JPEG.
- Write a 4-8 sentence artist statement describing your work.
