Art Making 2

Final Logo:
Sketches:







1.  Discuss what you thought about creating your logo.
When first finding out that I had to create a logo that represents me, I was nervous. I drew a blank and took all week to simply think about what to do. I could not think of something that would represent all that I am, in such a small thing. 
2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.
When first creating logos, I could only think to use my name or my initials. It was the only way I could make people easily know it was to represent me. So my first sketch uses the idea of how our brains sort of connects the dots for us when we are missing information. I didn't completely write the RT instead I put sections that would put the brain to work. The second sketch brought out the lightbulb idea. I remember when I was young I would always draw lightbulbs for some reason. I liked how they symbolized an idea being created. The third and fourth sketches combined the movement of ones eye with paint. (I realized I couldn't draw very well). I used water paints and just put water on the paper in a shape of an R. I had hoped the paint would travel around the water. My final sketch was by far my favorite. I finally got out of the idea that I had to have my name involved. I cut out a lightbulb shape and splatted paint around it. I then splatted yellow just in the center. This represents me because it shows creativity. The paint splatters outside of the shape, showing one thinking outside of the box. The yellow symbolizes a new idea, or a bright beginning. Overall, I a happy with my final logo.

 3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?
The most important discovery I made while creating my logo was that it is okay that I took so long to figure it out. Because I took so long, I had time to think through every part f my logo. I was able to give each element of it meaning, and make it special to me.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos, powerpoint, and reading material  for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
The most important thing I learned from the videos, I that its all right not to have all of the answers. Meaning, these professionals took several tries to meet the clients needs. These tries also better the final project. They allow all of the bugs to be worked out. The powerpoint and readings also helped me have a better understanding of what logos are. I had no idea to what event logos could be. I really liked both the videos and the readings. They allowed me to realize all of the different types of logos that I see everyday, and do not notice.

Project 1

Album: http://s346.photobucket.com/user/thomasrm02/library/Module%203 Slideshow: http://s346.photobucket.com/user/thomasrm02/slideshow/Module%203 I personally prefer raw, messy, and uncut versions of art. I find it interesting when art captivates how the world really is. The world is not perfectly put together, with straight lines and perfect edges. Instead, it can be this huge scary mess. A mess most people like to push to the side. However, in this mess there is also beauty. Our world is this huge mesh of both the good and the bad. I tired to show this within my pictures. Contrast: I was just walking through the park, when I saw this Blue Heron. I am not from around here, and where I'm from Blue Herons are pretty common. So common that their even is a restaurant named The Blue Heron. However, I had never before seen one in Buffalo. So as I walking I stumbled upon this guy. The way he stood was peaceful. As I got closer, he took off. This picture embodies contrast. The water ...

Module 6 Video Review

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. In the first video, Through the Eyes of a Sculptor, Emmanuel shows the viewer the many steps it takes to get a sculpture. Like with most things, one must make several models in order to create a perfect final piece. One must first make a clay mold, followed by a plaster mold, this then gets made into a life size model. Once having a life size model, the steps of creating a plaster model are repeated. Both of these steps, creating a life size clay and plaster mold, are created by different professionals. After all of this, one can finally begin to make the final sculpture. This step is also created by a different professional. Sculptures can be made of a variety of different materials, however, one of the most popular materials is marble. One interesting thing I learned was that different types of rock have different smells. This makes sense because they are composed of different materials, however, I just never thought o...

Module 8 Video Review

1. Explain why you selected the video you choose from the selection listed above. I decided for my second video to pick, The Measure of all things: Greek Art and the Human Figure. I picked this video because I thought it would go deeper in the idea of the human figure which the first video talked about. This topic is interesting because there is no definite definition for human body. We all have one and they all are so unique in their own ways. They can be almost any shape of size. 2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. For the first video I really enjoyed the fact that the narrator discussed the fact that the media's and art's representations of the human body do not actually look like the average human bodies. I learned how this idea is sort of recent. In the past figures of woman's bodies were as similarly unrealistic. However, they were not stick thin with hourglass figures. Instead, they were the opposite. They had extradited weight and sex...
