Logo Development

In the process of creating my logo I thought about my initial's to my name and I thought about stuff that I enjoy doing and that describe me and my personality. The idea's that I thought about making my logo are my interests and personality. The J is my name is colorful and vibrant like my personality. The S in my name represents softball because I grew up playing the sport and it has had a big impact on my life. The B in my name has bubbles to represent my bubbly. The most important discovery I made in the creation of my logo is that I actually enjoy coloring.
                                    

Art Gallery Visit #1: Albright Knox Art Gallery

The two pieces of artwork that made an impact on me is the "Inspired" and then "Color and Light". The first piece of art is a painting from a student at the Buffalo Academy for Visual Arts. It made an impact on me because the pieces of on this portrait are all modern day logo's that we use in our everyday life. The second piece of artwork made an impact on my life because it highlights the different colors according to where you are standing. The various colors represent different periods in my life

 

Art Gallery Visit #1: Albright Knox Art Gallery

I have visited the Albright-Knox Art Gallery on Elmwood Ave and the two pieces of artwork that I would like to learn more about are the Green Thumb In A Dark Eden by Frank Moore and Good Night Good Morning by Joan Jonas. The piece created by Frank Moore was created in 1994-95 and it is a painting of Niagara Falls in Buffalo. I have only been to Niagara Falls once on the Canadian side years ago and would be interested to go as an adult and have a different experience. The second piece of artwork created by Joan Jonas (1996) represents the process of aging and time and self identity. As I am coming to the completion go my freshman year of college I am trying to figure out who I am and  I am starting to realize that I am no longer a child.

              

The two piece's of art work that I have a connection with are The Colors Of Play: Art And Early Childhood Exhibition and The Just Do. The first piece of artwork that I connected with was a painting created by children between the ages of one to seven. I connected with this piece of artwork because I am an early childhood education major and I love kids! The second piece of artwork that I connected with was called just stop thinking. As I grew older I realized that when I try and focus and think about tasks in-depth I tend to not do so well. When I take a deep breath and "just do it" I do really well and end up doing amazing on the tasks.

      

Color Wheel and Value Chart

Color Theory: Paint/Pigment Primary Color and Value Scale

I thought that creating the Color Theory Pigment Wheel and the Value Scale was very fun and helpful. I enjoyed creating the different color's on the wheel and that by far was the best part of this project. One of the important discoveries in the creation of these studies was being able to use the charcoal to create the value scale. The most important information that I learned from watching the videos for this project in my opinion was how all of the colors are mixed with all the different primary and secondary colors

Color Theory and Emotional Effects

Color is the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light. Artist have always treated color with caution because it powerful and unpredictable to control our emotion. I think the different hues and intensities are part of the reason thats causes the different emotions. The theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues me is that color was used in a basic way. Fresco painters of the middle ages would use this color in a very strict way. They would first apply plaster to the wall then draw over it so the paint would hold and couldn't be changed. The artist couldn't improvise and every picture would have a contract on what he could and couldn't use. I find this very fascinating because today many artist draw free hand and do a lot of improvising and don't always have to stick to a certain plan. The biggest impact that regards to the color and its effects on emotion was how the artist would use so many colors that contrasted with each other to show his disgust for the place. In the feelings video the biggest impact on me in regards to color and its effect on emotion is that when I see bright colors I feel happy and excited and dark and more neutral colors I can be sad or calm depending on the situation. 

Aesthetics Video

This week in AED 200 we learned why art is important why art is created, aesthetics, the context of art and themes of art. Plato’s theory was very important. He originated from the 5th century Athens, Greece. Plato said “There is a beauty by which all things are beautiful” and by this I believe that he means that the things we see in the world was their idea. I feel like his contribution is important because he sees the beauty in the object of it’s own nature. I felt that the video on the evolutionary Origins of Art and Aesthetics was very hard to comprehend what was going on. Changeux views on this topic was that art is artifacts of artistic creation is the neurobiologist viewpoint.
