Composite Description

For this project, I intend for my environment to represent a chaotic mind, with no clear focus on one singular subject. To represent my lack of focus in my life, I hope to show that I can not tackle this sort of mind-wandering. The art gallery environment, that will represent the multiple aspects that I lose focus thinking about, will be representational of current art ambitions, family issues, a drive towards certain people; whatever seemingly distracts me. My identity will be represented as a lost figure, wearing the same clothes, in a space that I can not escape. I have learned how to cope with my lack of focus over the years, but I still have a long way to travel. In the past (and currently, in some regards), I have had to work intensively at my schoolwork in order to achieve good grades. I am bothered that I have to spend an insane amount of time to memorize one Mesopotamian artwork, so that frustration will be represented in this piece.

Bruce Nauman video review

In this video, Nauman was "Walking in an Exaggerated Manner", and it was filmed for ten minutes. He was walking swaying his hips in slow motion for that entire time, and there seems to be an underlying meaning to it. I never really understood videos like this, and I often get frustrated because I am not sure how to appreciate them properly. Nauman seems to be a sophisticated artist and has profoundly impacted the video community with strange videos like this.

Joan Jonas video review

Jonas plays up her use of body movements and sound in her videos. She translates her thoughts thoroughly in these videos and she uses her work to communicate her thoughts and emotions. She often uses the space itself to convey these feelings, like in her video Wind. On the windiest day of the year, Jonas used the weather to create emotion in her works. She often uses multiple artists as well to make a collaborative effort on her work. Overall, I respond well to these videos, and I respect Jonas as a creator using the medium of film to convey herself.

Diary Entries 2

Dear Diary, Today marks my first solo art exhibition. My show, debuted in Philadelphia, has attracted numerous young artists to my works. Additionally, so many students from Tyler decided to come and see alumni art, which I sincerely appreciated. I had about 20 pieces, using acrylic, charcoal, and printmaking, and a lot of talented art collectors came. I am monumentally thankful that I am able to showcase my works in the city that granted me so much.
