Final art project.

I had lots of problems trying to do my final tack. First off I didn't know How thick I wanted to make it. So after that I carved the fish out of the clay. Then I wasn't at school for a few days. So I put the clay in a bag so it WOULDN'T dry out but it did. So I had to carve out the worlds I wanted to put in the clay. But then I had a idea to bring it home to work on. So I put it in my bag and brought it home. And when I pulled it out of my bag it was broken.

The idea for this project was to show people who aren't from here what it is like here. All the words told the person who was looking at the art work what it looks like and what people feel about the area we live in. A lot of people think differently about how it is in Nipigon and Red Rock. I also got the idea from earlier in high school we all had to work with clay and I seen people making clay work like this so I thought I could do this and try and show people what it is like living in the Nipigon Red Rock area.

The Art can show someone how I feel about the place I live in. I picked the words that first came into my head when I thought about how it is living in the area I do live in.

When you look at the clay it looks smooth but when you really feel it you feel the uneven parts of the clay. You can also feel the words how them indent in the clay and how you outline of the fish pops out so it gives the clay more depth. It isn't a perfect rectangle the lines are not straight everywhere. But nothing is perfect here. Also the outline for the fish that I uses is just a any kind of fish. nothing special. I couldn't draw you a fish that is from here.

I feel that I did a good job with all that happened with is braking and all that. I don't think I will be finishing the project because school is finished now and wont be able to fire it. Also there were a lot of things that went wrong with this project.

The last series!

I started with a blank canvas and painted family on it. I wanted to do something that had to do with my family and show who I came from. I put both my grandparents and my parents and my mom and dad. I didn't add my brother in to because I didn't have time to put them on the art work.. haha

I put a picture oh my camp because that was the last place all my family were together. And I put a red rock because it stands for that my parents are still with me.

"Appropriate Appropriation" opinion

Stealing? no one should steal from anybody. This guy stole this girls photo from her Instagram and sold it. But she didn't get anything out of this deal, no money not even any credit. I think this is just wrong. This is the link to my teachers log to show you more in depth what happened. Since this post is just about my opinion. http://mrsroseart.blogspot.ca/2015/05/appropriate-appropriation.html

When I hear about someone stealing something like this it sounds bad. But it has happened before a long time ago, But since it is in my life time I feel more about it then I do with older paintings. This man who took this image from this girl should of at least gave her some credit for the image. But she didn't get anything. If this happened to me I would be really upset with the fact that someone got money for it and creator didn't get anything from it. This guy sold this image for around a million dollars.

I think this girl should go after this man since it was her work. This man did something wrong and should learn it was wrong to do something like this. If he did this who knows if he will do it again or not..

People take art works and try to make them their own. But when I think about it I still think its not there own work. But just adding onto the painting to say that they can make it their own. But from my point of view it still isn't there own art work. Also there is this guy who makes saying from newspapers by blacking out the work and making it say something funny or something different. But he didn't know people have already done this. He was just copying the idea about it.. This man looked up where it came from and made a time line from when it started to him.

This is the video this guy did to share his idea. And this video is where I learn about what he did.

I do think this is a cool idea. But it isn't his original idea but he is just following the idea other people have had. It's not like he's taking a painting and drawing over it like how some people do. When people do graffiti on walls or trains different people add on to original art works. Sometimes people feel that they are making it better but who knows if the creator thinks it's better or not. I never really thought about this until my teacher brought it up in class of people tampering with other painting someone else has made. I feel it is wrong but someone can follow with the idea they had just don't need to take the original art work. 

final culminating

Thoughts!

I know I want to work with clay again. Get a flat piece of clay and carve out a fish and fire it then paint it, BUT I wanted to have some words on it that tells someone who is not from here what it is like here. Like the word Superior to tell them that lake it near us. Also the words forest, rock, Nipigon River, hills and wildlife.  These words make me think of the area we live in.

I like the idea for this website. It looks really cool. I remember then there was picnic on facebook there was this feature on the website. But this is the picture I cubed.

thoughts about the #scratchandmix project.

Looking at the blog post for the first time my first thought was what is this about? and who will benefit from this group? I knew that this group wasn't from here so I wasn't sure what it had to do with me. But when my teacher showed the class this she wanted us to just blog about it and give are ideas about what this group does. I do like how on twitter could get people to connect to others when they do not live close to one another. I did watch one of the videos on my phone and I saw a girl dancing and how a guy addressed the people who want to hear him speak. I wouldn't mind going to Toronto to see this kind of group and see what kinds of art there is out there then just paintings. I personally do think dance and singing is a art. Some people can do it and some can't. This is all different kinds of moment that each person could make. 

I do like the work of Jah Grey. When you look at his web page you see a photo that I am guessing that is him. I went to one of his pages and read a little about him and he is pretty interesting. I always loved people who just took photos and that got recognized for his work. 

Fur voice - Fantasia (thoughts)

This video reminds me of a kind of music video that no one really knows the real meaning behind it. But I do like who it's not just pictures of art and it's a video. I thought it was very creative I did like it. But I would like to know what she was thinking when she made this video and what made her come up with those ideas for the video
