Combination Blog..


(Another picture from Alice Attie)

In this blog i will have about 3 different blogs in it.. Reason? laziness prolly..

well here i go..:

3.

What piece of art or pieces of art have you narrowed down your choice to?

I have narrowed my select pieces down to one. The one by Alice Attie. I have searched as much as i can and can not find a picture of it. However, i have found someother pictures from the book that i found the one im using. I posted that picture on my blog. It is somewhat like the picture i am using, but still not quite it.


4.

What challenges did you have or do you perceive having in this project?

The challenges that i had in this project were finding information. For me it was very hard. Maybe if i had chosen a more well knowen artist it would have been easier, but im glad that i chose the one that i did. This artist doesnt just focus on one thing, but she focuses on many.


5.

Where are you at in the project?

In this project, i think that i am very behind. I need to do a lot, and i think its because of the fact that 1. its hard to find information and 2. well im kinda lazy. but i am trying to defeat both and get information and become less lazy!


What more do you need to accomplish?

What i need to accomplish is getting more information and possibly finding the correct picture. It would be nice to find that picture. I have searched for minutes on end! jaj(hah)! but its true. I would also like to accomplish getting it all together in an orderly manner just right. Maybe having some information on what needs to be done will help. But that will prolly just be on my part and i need to ask some more questions!


What are your questions?

My questions are:


  • How long has Alice Attie been an artist??

  • What is her backround?

  • Why is she not so well knowen (as such artist like Frida Kahlo)??

Should I change the presentation time limit to 5-7 minutes instead of 7-10 minutes?


Yes, i think that the presentation time limit should be changed to 5-7 minutes. I think this because i dont think that everyone has enough information on their artist and picture to fill up that 7-10 minutes.

Researching..

The search engines i used were:
  • Yahoo
  • Kartoo
  • LiveSearch
  • Google
I felt that these didnt work for me. I had tried to find some pictures of my artists and found little. They didnt have much information. I didnt really learn that much today because of the reason that i had a hard time finding information.

Human Form in Art Reseach Project.

My piece of art that i choose was a picture tooken by Alice Attie, 2003. The questions that i have for this picture is
  • Why take a picture of those two guys?
  • Why take a picture of only their heads and the backround?
  • Why not take a full length photo?
  • Did you choose the backround or did they?
  • If you choose the backround, why that backround?
  • Would you choose a different backround it you could?

My next steps would to be to research it more. Possibily find more about the artist. Look at her other work and see if there is anything different.
