My first quarter in art has been very interesting. I have experienced new objectives in art that I never knew about. I have learned that art is not all about colors,picture,and painting. I have learned the 7 principles of design and the 7 elements of art.I have learned different types of drawing,such as contemporary drawings,and schematic drawings.I have learned many new objectives doing the bell ringers in my sketch book.The blogs have been very cool to me.We can express our thoughts in an appropriate way.The blogs give me a chance to learn new things about my peers,and what they are interested in as far as art.One project that I really enjoyed this quarter was making an accordion book which was very fun to me,even though I had a late start.I see the subject of art differently because it is not all about paintings,sculpture,and artwork's. I learned that it is a more in depth meaning,and it means much more to the artist that complete the art.

Many post modern artwork's reflects the process of its own creation rather than some greater truth purpose,post modern artworks at the level of outer surface, not essential form. This artwork well uses appropriation because it use the Simpson's body's,but it re transforms them into a weird type of shape.This artist was maybe trying to express how the Simpson family acts in there shows or describing them.I know the artist was thinking about clocks,and the beer bottles,so maybe the artist was getting at how much time is wasted watching the Simpson show.Lisa Simpson sticks out of the painting maybe because she is the bright one in there family.The artwork uses juxtaposition because the beer bottle and the donut is sitting by homer Simpson's head and,that may be saying that he drinks to much beer and that he eats many donuts.Overall this artwork uses hybridity because it seems like the artist was really trying to make fun of the Sampson's,but not in a races type way.

This artwork uses many shapes and different sizes. I believe the artist was thinking about making a collage with This artwork using all of the contrasting colors and big and small shapes.This painting is very abrasctive because it uses much balance because the artwork looks like an amusement park with roller coasters going all around the place.This artwork is interesting because some of the shapes that it uses has different color value.lastly,the artwork shows movement because it looks like a moving amusement park like it was being carried away from a place.

Something I have learned about the process of bookmaking is that you have to use all your time to your advantage. I also have learned that most accordion books are made from the heart or experiences.You also have to have good ideas and interesting facts to do. I have found that the bookmaking was very interesting to me because the ideas I had for my book everyone really liked them. What i found challenging about the book was getting all of the shapes I wanted, and putting them in the right place to make it unique and interesting. It was also challenging  trying to do the elements and principles poem. I might use my time wisely the next time I make a accordion book.
