Blog Post 2: What is "Not-Art"? Take the Poll

Monday, November 17, 2008

Blog Post 1: Check my Art blog then make your first post

First, take a look at my "What is Art?" blog to see what I'm asking you to do.

Basically, you are finding a piece of art (or "non-art") and reflecting on why it is or is not "Art". Make sure you include the piece you're discussing in your blog. If it's a picture, song, or a video, embed it in your blog. If you are reacting to another article, hyperlink to it in your blog post so we can find it.

Argument Collage Artist Statement

500 words, typed and posted to your blog

1. For each image, explain how you translated the ideas and details of your argument and evidence into a visual image. What choices did you have to make? Explain the effect you wanted to have on the audience and which specific artistic choices you made to achieve that effect.

2. Discuss the specific photoshop techniques you used to create your image. Talk about layer masking, adjustment layers, and tricky selecting specifically.

3. Discuss the process of choosing images to represent ideas from your arguments. Discuss how you arranged images in your collage to maximize their impact on your audience.

4. How did you express the moods and feelings related to your topic? What in your image shows how you feel (or how we should feel) about your argument?
