1.) While creating the value scale and color wheel I was just concentrating on getting the right color and amount of color.
2.) I enjoyed working with the paint the best because when you mixed it together it made different colors.
3.) The most important creation in these studies I think was to get the artist perspective on how they need to use their media.
4.) I thought the videos while short were educational, I still learned a alot.  The most important thing I learned was that the primary colors are not what we were taught they were and how to make them.

Project #1

http://s1326.beta.photobucket.com/user/afaed200/library/

Line: The picure I chose was a table runner that had a line pattern.  It reflected verticle or horizontal lines depending on how you look at it.

Shape: The picture I used was closet doors.  They showed geometrical shapes.

Forms:  The picture I used was a candle piece it showed 3 dimensional shapes.

Space: This picture shows how things are spaced evenly apart from each other for a specific look.

Color:  This picture shows many different colors put together.

Texture:  This is a pitcure of a blanket to depict softness.

Balance: This shows baskets hanging on a wall in equal balance around the window.

Movement: This is a picture of an animal in movement.

Pattern: Repeated pattern on a pillow.

Repition: This is a rug and the pattern to me looks like its continual.

Proportion: The wall hangings are proportionately spaced out around the window.

Rhythm: This picture shows a pattern in an organized movement.

Variety:  This is a picture of someone drawing.  The viewer could be paying attention to what the subject is doing or to the thing he is doing or anything in the background.

Unity: This object comes together to make a piece of art.

Emphasis: The artist did the flowers in red to draw emphasis to them.

Color

1.) Color is a perceptual property that communicates with the human eye.  Color has a significant effect on people's emotions.  Certain colors can make someone happy, sad, hungry, angry.

2.) The aspect of color that most fascinates is how it effects an individual.  I think that is fascinating because it is something we don't think about when we look at something.  Everything we look at has color and we don't pay much attention to it or realize the effect it has on us.

3.) The biggest impact the video had on me with regard to emotions was that color can effect emotions.  Not just emotions but moods and attitudes as well.

4.) In the video what made the biggest impact on me was that the lady who was painting was having such a hard time enjoying her work because the color was off.  She needed the right shade to depict what she saw and the emotions she felt.  No one really understands or thinks about colors in that way.

Module 2-Aesthetics

1.) In the Philosophy of Arts video I learned about the different ways aesthetics can be interpreted and the different ways beauty can be looked at to mean.  I also learned how aesthetics developed and evolved over time and the beginnings of art.  The second video and article taught me the same thing sort of.  They both discussed how our brain interprets art and aesthetics and how we go from visualizing something to our brains interpreting it.

2.) I believe Aristitles (4th Century) theory of aesthetics is important. He looked at beauty in terms of tragedy and unities. The three unities he saw beauty in were time, action and places. He believed beauty could be told in these aspects and through poems. Poems could tell stories which he believed had a beginning, middle, and an end. We follow the same notion today. He saw the entity of action as tragedy representing a single action with no subplots and each action should be a consequence of what happened before. Time should be in a period of no more than a day. And the action should happen in the same place. I feel Aristotles theory of aesthetics is important because we follow the same ideas today and he based his idea of beauty through tragedy which is something everyone can relate to and can be expressed easily.

3.) I thought ach lecture was interesting in how they believe our brains interpret art and tranform visual contexts.

4.) The videos and articles relate to the texts by talking about how artists depict things differently to bring things to life for us.  Artists have a more creativness about them which they use to describe things visually to others to enhance life.

5.) I think the videos added more information than the texts did by giving more information about each philospher which I do not believe the book talked about all of those in the video.  It also was able to show us more images than the book to help us understand each artist and their theory.  The article went more in depth than the book about how our brian interprets art and visuals.
