Outside Visits: Miami Made Book Fair Nov. 20

Image
     The first panel was with Tom Hart,  E mil Ferris, and Meags  Fitzgerald.   They all each went into great detail of their books and each of their own process. This panel helped me a little with my zine ideas because for each of them and their books they were telling a personal story of themselves. Meags Fitzgerald said she made sure she made sure she knew every little detail of her story and that she didn't want to leave anything out. Where Emil Ferris used fictional charters for her book but used her life stories for them. Tom Hart heart book was about his 2-year-old daughter that passed away, so he pretty much stayed true to his story and didn't make anything up for his story.       This was Keith Knight and he was amazing. His comics  are based  on for the most part racism in america, but his uses his work in a humorous fashion. This gave me another idea for ...

Museum Visits: The Discipline of Nature: Architect Alfred Browning Parker in Florida

Image
     By far this was my favorite museum that I've been to so far. This one was really great in my eyes. Everything Alfred Browning basically grew on paper he built, it's like magic. All his blueprints and ideas turned into building or structure. He was very prominent here in Miami and has built some of the building that are here today. Even after he stopped his architecture business, he still kept busy with making drawing and sculptures.      To add on to this the photographer he used for most of his projects Ezra Stoller was amazing! I hadn't heard of him before seeing this, but his photographs really amazed me. I searched him up while I was in the museum and his work just A1 for me at least. It made me want to go out and start shooting immediately!

Outside Visits: Blast Allegories & Titus Kaphar

Image
I really enjoyed the works from these 2 galleries, the blasted allegories were all photographs from artist that I know and only seen in books. So to see them in person was amazing for me. works from Cartier Bresson, Gary Winogrand and Brassaï. It was clear how these photos related to the small works as well. It was like the photos had like a double meaning but didn't need any words for you see it. For Titus Kaphar I thought it was brilliant how he made his pieces all have two sides to the works. For me these 2 galleries were great, concept wise and presentation it was all great.

Outside Visits: ICA Visit

Image
     The museum was a good experience, although I didn't know what to expect I enjoyed the work of the artist that were shown. I think the work of Renaud Jerez was a little boring to me. It was cool to see the materials he used for them, but they didn't really excite me or call my attention. I really liked the work of Ida Applebroog some of her drawings had little scripture/text that made them go along with each other and more understanding. Some of Susan Te Kahurangi King work was really interesting cause her work was drawn on papers that had text on them but didn't have anything to with the drawing so it almost made it look like a really good doodle.I also liked how she had Donald duck and bugs bunny in some of the works, I thought that was kind of unique. All in all the visit to ICA was a great one, it opened my eyes to things I haven't seen yet.

WARP First Post

Labels Help You Organize All blog posts must be labeled with two keywords, which blogger calls Labels. When faculty visits your blog for evaluation purposes, we will use the labels to quickly find your work. If you do not use the keywords properly, we will not be able to find your work.  Proper set-up and maintenance of your blog falls under the Research and Participation part of your grade which counts for 30% of the overall semester grade.  Topical Keywords The first set of keywords correspond to the module we are working in. We will refer to these as topical keywords since they correspond to the topic we are exploring over the two-week periods. Your first group of posts will be labeled under  Topic: Creative Impulse  since this is the first topic (Topic #1). Here are the topical keywords you will use through out the semester: Topic: Creative Impulse Topic: Pattern and Ornament Topic: Rhinoceros Topic: Narrative Topic: Lands...
