 What immediatley captured my attention about this collection is how dark it was when I went inside, although my favorite work wasn't portrayed on a wall for all to see it was the elevator. The elevator is all black and it felt extra confined and had a tv in which you saw and heard a guy playing guitar. It was a rather odd elevator experience, just because i've never had one like it. My favorite work in this collection was the one of ordinary people and it was 3 different people and just their day to day style. Their was a women with tattoos and I thought it to be representational of modern women and style today, she had was very chill looking she had a dreads and was very slim. I believe the artist was trying to show the world from his perspective in a new and innovative way. Another work I enjoyed was the one of the vases, each vase had a different image. I thought it to be representative to certain ideas, and I believe the artist tried to send a message through the repitition of mutiple vases.

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:31:00 -0800 De la cruz collection http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/de-la-cruz-collection http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/de-la-cruz-collection

 

The De La Cruz collection was very cool, I found the museum all together to be very nice and vast. I found a love for to pieces in particular which made me greater appreciate art. The first was the collection of mirrors. The 52 mirrors were representational of all the weeks in a year and were all different color. Some warm colors, some come cool colors. I thought that was representational to life, because we have lively weeks, boring weeks, and just all together depressing weeks. The mirrors were infront of newspaper coverings which all pertained to Miami. As Miami citizens this was all together a representation of all of our lives through the fourth role of the artist seeing the world in new and innovative ways. I thought this to be a very cool way to express an idea. The second work to grasp my attention was a wall in the second floor that contained a large quote. From what I grasped from the quote it meant that life occurs so fast we don't have enough time to acknowledge the moments, because before we know it, everythings over.  It was representational to the way artist saw life, and again portrayed the fourth role, seeing the world in new and innovative ways. All together this was a very nice museum, more cliche and typical as opposed to the rubbell collection but still very nice.

This museum is perhaps the best museum I have ever attended. I found it so eclectic, modern, and attention grabbing and I have never encountered anything like it. This was surley not your stereotypical musuem, it did not have your modern still life paintings with a whole bunch of portraits of elderly people, but actually had a very modern feel. I feel like the whole museum was designed to portray the fourth role of the artist - seeing the world in new and innovative ways, every work was representational of that notion.  What I loved about this museum is that it wasn't solely based on paintings, as a matter of fact, over half of this museum was based on models. My favorite pieces included the basket balls floating in the fish tank, the essay written about coke, and the lights that had phrases spelled out.I believe that the lights were trying to send out different messages about life. It had a very lively choice of colors and I believe the quotes hanging of the lights were representational to different moments of our lives. This museum was also very weird, which amused me. The rock structure mourning dead women send out a strong message as it was eerily colored grey and black with low lighting and lighted candles surrounding it, and also not to mention the model of eight ment having an orgy. This museum all together truly broadened my eyes to viewing art differently. I no longer see art through its convential deffinition, I feel a greater appreciation for it now since this museum brought such a different feel.

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:08:00 -0800 What is art (2) ? http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/what-is-art-2 http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/what-is-art-2

At the beginning of this class, I belived that art only pertained to still lifes, paintings, sculptures, writing, and music, but I was very inacurate. My opinion began to change as I was exposed to so many new art museums I have never heard of, were I found a work of art made of manniquins, christmas lights wrapped around to make a circle, a curtain just made out of flowers from the ceiling to the floor. I would have never expected that to be art, atleast not four months ago. Now, with a more elaborate explanation, what is art? Well art is our every thought emotion and idea. Art is writing music sports. Art is any form of self expression or anything that reflects or evokes some time of feeling or mood. Art is all around us, art is everywhere. We are all art.

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:09:00 -0800 Pet rock project. http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/pet-rock-project http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/pet-rock-project

Photo_1

 

Name: Gigi Rodriguez

Founded : December 1, 2010

Birth place : Miami lakes

Materials : Gray and Black sharpies. 

 

This rock is rather simple, it has no complexity to it and it's a metaphor on how I see life. Flipped on the bottom of the rock, I have waves, some colored in gray and others left white. The gray waves are representational of the bad things that occur as we live, and the way is representational of the positive events that occur. On the top of the flower, I have the a pair of closed, flowers, and music notes. The closed eyes is representational for The Beatles quote " Living is easy with eyes closed" from Strawberry Fields Forever. I believe that the less you analyze situations, the funner and more exciting life will be for you. Next, my rock is flooded with an abundance of flowers. Back to my notion of me believing that life is simple, I intended to represent these through my abstract deformed flowers. Life is a beauty that fails to go noticed, through the good and the harsdhips. I also included musical symbols, because I believe that music is one of the best forms of self expression. For me, music is my favorite type of art. Even if your not good with words, music always seems to have the solutuon. So that's why I included the musical note in my rock.

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:15:00 -0800 Art Basel http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/art-basel http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/art-basel

I am excited to say that this was my very first time at Art Basel and I have never seen anything like it. There was a flood of people from all over, an abundance of traffic, and alot of interesting art work. I attended Art Miami, Art Asia, Red Dot Gallery, and Wynwood again. My favorite gallery was Art Miami, it was a very deep and extended gallery and it had a comibination of sculptures and paintings. My favorite two pieces from this gallery was a Warhol inspired Marilyn Monroe that was pop art. It consisted of repition, as it had her face multiple times. It used a combination of both warm and cool colors, and it was very eclectic. My second favorite painting was in Art Miami as well and it was the picture of an eye. The eye was at center of the painting so it was located in it's focal point, and it was all gray. I liked it because it was very captivating and made you want to look at it over and over again. The crowds that attended this event were very ecclectic. Their was people from all over, but I predominantly noticed alot of rich upper class people. The Red Dot gallery was also pretty cool. My  favorite works included a work that resembeled Fungi in black and warm colors. I posted a photagraph of it. I noticed their was alot of abstract work in this gallery. Something I truly enjoyed about these galleries were how deep they were, they didn't appear to be so big so it was nice to be exposed to vast collections of art works. Lastly I returned to Wynwood one last time and got to go in the graffiti bus which I didnt not have the chance to enter too before, and also enjoyed being exposed to graffiti art work, which is my favorite.

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 20:36:00 -0800 Life through a frame. http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/life-through-a-frame http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/life-through-a-frame

Imag0235

"Glass"

Day 1 - I took this photagraph in the house of a friend while her mother was sharing drinks. It embodies the way I view life. Some view the glass as half full, others view the glass as half empty. Some of us focus on the negative, and some of us focus on the positive. I decided to put the frame on the counter and take the picture from top to bottom to grasp the concept. 

Imag0212

"Dull and life"

Day 2-  Outside of my school a vender was selling fruits and I saw a basket full of apples. The reason I chose to photagraph these apples is for the emphasis on repitition, and also the metaphor of life I took from the apples. Sometimes things are dull (the green shade in the apple), but their will always be moments of joy and excitement (the red shade). The abundance of apples to represent the repitition of all these dull and exciting moments reacurring constantly through out our lives.

Null-2

"Life is a book, life is a story!"

Day 3- I spend an afternoon at Barnes and Noble and I decided to photagraph these books. Books obtain stories usually of essential aspects of life such as love, tragedies, comedies, and memoirs. Since this project is a reflection of life through a frame I decided to photagraph books because I believe books and writings in general are a documentation of life. 

Null-3

"Warhol"

Day 4 - I took this photagraph at the supermarket. The moral of this photo was the emphasis on reptition. Life is monotonous at times and we all seem to be living a repetitive, cycle like life. I feel at times that I am always doinf the same thing, which is studying and home work and work itself. Sometimes things lack excitiement and are just repetitive and boring such as all the cans and stacked shelves at grocery stores. 

Null-4

"Ordinary"

Day 5 - Walking outside of the mall I decided to take the photo of a tree. Life and tree's are very similar. The roots and trunk of a tree are very importanting, and its the first part of a tree which also embodies are first years of life. Are first years of life define who we are, and is a key indicator of how we are going to be in the future. Traits we have when we are young usually stay with us, the only difference is that as we grow older we learn more and we evolve as the top of the tree does. It burst into an abundance of leaves which makes it a tree in the end and all the little leaves are important into making the tree. I believe this relates to actual life in the sense that every single thing molds is into who we are, such as all the leaves end forming a tree. Through this photagraph I tried to emphasize the tree as its meant to stand out being placed infront of a white wall. 

Imag0233

" We all deteriorate, we all fall" 

Day 6 - I decided to photagraph medicine bottles in my grandmothers house. I noticed the repitition because all the bottles looked alike and the movement as some bottles were standing and some had fallen. I assosiated this with life because when were young were all filled with life, and as we grow older we start to deteriorate and we need more and more medication to help keep our lives. 

Null-1

Imag0240
Null
Day 7-  This first photagraph is called "Life as we make it!" I chose a wall with a primary color that was assymetrical to portray a design and just a flatly painted wall; to portray excitement and to portray sameness, consistency and lacking of excitment. 

The second photagraph  is called " planets " has the element of repitition and hence emphasis. Their is a triadic form in between the two balls and the basket in which the balls are resting on. 

The third photagraph is called " Interlocking cycle " it portrays repitition, movement, and emphasis. It's a chamber lock of hearts and its a metaphor to life. The heart's that we want sometimes want someone elses heart instead of ours and its an ongoing cycle.

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:20:00 -0800 Attending a Gallery Opening http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/attending-a-gallery-opening http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/attending-a-gallery-opening


 

Attending a gallery/gallery opening was very different than my experience in a museum. In a museum, the setting is much spacious and larger, as opposed to in a gallery in which takes place in a small more confined setting. In a museum, you see a variety of works by a variety of artist, in a gallery you only see the work of one artist or possibly just about two more. At Wynwood, many artist were at their galleries, something that you would not typically see in a museum. Since museums contain works of all artist and of many years, some artist might be dead or out of state, but galleries are a bit more personal and  you have a higher chance of seeing the artist. In galleries, you also get a better taste of the artist since your seeing several of their works, it's alot more personal than a musuem.

Large

I am excited to say that I have now officially attended the Wynwood Art Walk, and it turned out being alot more expectacular than I invisioned it to be. As I first got there, I was amazed to see how much people actually attend! It was super crowded, and finding a good parking spot seemed like a mission. Our professor asked that we meet her by the fairy mural, which were walls from top to bottom covered in graffiti. To be honest, I had never seen real graffiti art work only the vandalization of teenagers on the highway, I was absolutley breath taken. I asked myself alot of questions while I staired at some murals, such as how did the artist practice doing graffiti, how long does a mural takes them to complete, how long did it take the artist to perfect graffiti art and etc. Out of all the art forms I know of, I found graffiti to be the most self expressive and my favorite!

Interviewed Artist: Pete Kirill

Kirill did mutiple paintings of north korean people, he wanted to express that capitalism and communism aren't much different. He wanted to emphasize how in communism, they persuade people to believe and think in one way only, and that everyone and everything should be the same. In capitalism, he was trying to show how it's not much different, as kids, we grow up with certain ingraved believes and thoughts and trends we should mimic and abid by. He wanted to portray how communism and capitalism we're the same thing, just with different titles.

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 17:51:00 -0700 Treasure Hunt http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/treasure-hunt http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/treasure-hunt

Yesterday our class had a unique assaignment in which we were asked to do a treasure hunt around our school. The treasure hunt involved us taking notes and finding ten specific sculptures around the campus. To my astonishment, I did not even know we had so many sculptures around the campus. As I walked around I didn't know how I never noticed such iconic pieces. The scupltures were the following: 

Imag0182

"Learning Gives You Wings"

2011

Mixed Media Sculpture

By: Rafeal Consuegra

The message: I found in this work is the ladder of education and knowledge. As you begin school you start from the very bottom, and if your not good at school as well, but you can always rise. As years go by you reach higher grade levels, and even if your not the smartest student through practice you can also rise to the top. The angels climbing represent the steps they take in school in order to venture out to the world once school is over. Once your done with school, the world is yours for the taking. You can fly or roam to whatever you want to be in life, the world is yours for the taking through the key element of education.

Imag0189
Dynamite Baby

(red sculpture)

1983

9 x 9 x 9 

Painted Steel

By: Alfredo Halegua 

The message: I noticed that this was a cube that was cut into three pieces and being transformed. The message I instantly receieved is that for everyone life has a different path and we all venture out in different directions. Our lives are constantly transforming, changing, and reconstructing.

Imag0183
Imag0184
Piet

(black sculpture)

1984

18 x 6 x 4 

Painted Steel

By: Alfredo Halegua 

The message: What I grabbed from this piece is how everything that stands is not whole, Not everything that looks put together is complete. Their is always something missing. When you view this piece from the top it is whole but towards the bottom it had a cut out part missing. 

Mail

Pie in the Sky

(Yellow sculpture)

 1984

Alfredo Halequa,

Painted Steel 

13 x 13 x 9

The message: What I obtained from this work is the impression of a bright prescence that does not fail to go unnoticed. Such as for example how lighting bolts always stand out, especially during the silence and darkness of the night time.

Mail-2

 

For the Birds

(yellow and black sculpture)

1990

Alfredo Halequa

Painted Steel

The message: What I took from this piece is just a sanctuary, a place to rest. The work is shaped in form of a seat in someway. Or just maybe a place to rest for the birds and other animals as the title of the work suggest.

Mail-1
Orlanda Arch

1987

(Stainless steel sculpture)

Alfredo Halequa

The message: What I captured from this sculpture is the essence of resistance, remaining firm. The way it is positioned and how it is standing is very firm, and seems very heaavy, but it doesn't look like it could ever fall. It looks strongly intact and in place.

Mail-3

Horizontal Abstraction

Alfredo Halequa

Epoxy

(organic)

1964

The message: What I took from this work is the  abstract of elephant sculpture. From the Left of the photo you see the circle which is the eye of the elephant, and the trunk hanging down.

Imag0191

Cubolic

Alfredo Halequa

(Geometric shape)

Painted steel

9 x 9 x 9

The message: As I walked around this sculpture I noticed that the inner part of it was missing. What I took from this piece is how some people fail to recognize the lack of important things in their life, and only worry about how people see them from the outside perspective and fail to recognize the bigger picture.

Imag0187
Pheles

1991

Rafael Consuegra

Painted Steel

2 x 3 x 8

The message: What I obtained from this piece was an animal that belongs in the grass, some type of insect because of the balls that are part of the sculpture. I pictured insects running around the grass, as the sculpture also lays on a grassy area.

Imag0192
Torso

Alfredo Halequa

1961

Epoxy

The message: What I conveyed from this was ofcourse a torso. To be more exact, the torso of a woments body. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and they are all different. I believe Halequa was trying to express the beauty in diversity.

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:49:00 -0700 Visit to the MDC North Gallery http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/visit-to-the-mdc-north-gallery http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/visit-to-the-mdc-north-gallery

For this assaignment, I enjoyed the experience of attending a private viewing of the designs of Ralph Provisero in MDC North Gallery. I never knew that the school had a gallery, and it was nice to attend the gallery with the students and the teacher. We were asked to write about seven, and to elaborate on our favorite one and these are mine: 

Imag0194

My favorite piece: Black Eye

2007

Sterling Silver & Black Glass on reflection

Red Vinyl

7 x 12.75 inches

Courtesy of Dorsch Gallery

My reflection: The Black Eye was immediatley my favorite piece simply because eyes portray mystery and perspective and it instantly left me intrigued. The eye is a symbol of vigilance and a window to the soul. The background is a bright colored red and very lively. I wondered why the artist decided to use such a vivid and bright color as opposed to a dull or darker color or tone. What I could interpret from this piece is that even when a person is surrounded by vividness, happyness, cheerfulness, or excitment (the red background) their is still always a speck of evil in this word (symbolism for the black eye). The title is important because it emphasizes perhaps the most important part of this particular work, the eye.

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 08:42:00 -0700 Extra Credit MDC Museum Visit http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/extra-credit-mdc-museum-visit http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/extra-credit-mdc-museum-visit

In my experience attending the museum I went with my mother and it was her first time going to a museum. I enjoyed seeing all the creative art works, even those I didn't fully understand. I also enjoyed seeing my mothers face amazed at everything because it was her first time. Work that caught my attention was the "One thousand and one Possible Nights, 2008" collage on paper. I found it so complex yet simple and beautiful. My favorite work was the "Rain Rains". The materials used were Aluminum buckets, water, steel cable, & dimensions variable. The title of the work was significant because it portrayed what he was trying to show in his work, rain. Drips of water would fall from the bucket hanging in the air, to the bucket on the floor. The materials were also significant since it helped potray the ilusion of rain dripping slowly. Another thing I loved were the ribbons that were stuck in holes in the walls that had wish petitions. I found it so thoughtful and cute, and it seemed to have captured everyones attention since I saw everyone walk out with a couple of ribbons.

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 18:09:00 -0700 Role of the Artist http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/role-of-the-artist http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/role-of-the-artist

1) The Golden Screen, James McNeil Whistler, 1864.

In the first painting by James McNeil Whistler, the painting is first role  because he is recording the world around him. He demonstrates a woman sitting in a bed holding up a paper she seems to be reading in her room in a long dress.  The name of this art work seems to be representational to the room that she is in because the room is golden colored. This is an example of a representational art work.

2) Convergence, Jackson Pollock, 1952

In this painting by Pollock, the painting is fourth role because he is showing us the world in an innovative way. He is demonstrating a spalsh of an array of colors consisting of: black, white, red, yellow, and blue, all splattered around his work. The name of his art work says it all, "converging" means to come together from different directions and eventually join and that is what the splattered paint is doing in his work. This painting is an example of an abstract work.

3) Railway Crossing, Fernand Leger 1919

In this painting by Leger, the painting is first role because his work is demonstrating a railway crossing, also an example of the world around him. His work is depicting all the signs at a rail way crossings and the intersections embodied with a whole bunch of shapes and colors. The title of the work also reassures you that it is a railway crossing. This painting is an example of abstract work.

Sdc18585

For this assaigment we had to choose a museum to visit and the one I chose was the Lowe Art Museum. It was my first time in a museum, and I found everything to be breathtaking. I was amazed at how vigilant the security guards are, and how they watch over the artworks like hawks. Something else that took me by storm was how silent musems are, it felt comfortably nice and allowed all the visitors to fully observe and soak in the art work. I decide that as I was walking through the museum, I would select the art work that I felt most gravatated too. As I was walking around the musuem I thought I would find typical portraits or still lifes of fruits, but I was dazed at the creativity and uniqueness of the paintings that surrounded me. Finally, as I was walking through a section of deamon and underground art work, I found myself mesmerized by "Underword" by Ann Mccoy.

The title of my collage is called "Unexpected Tragedy."

Technique used - Collage.

My collage was made on a 9 by 12 black construction paper, glue, scissors, and a collection of black and white 911 photographs. A collage is an artistic composition made of various materials (as paper, cloth, or wood) glued on a surface.

 - Expressive art work.

 

I choose to do my collage strictly black and white collage to express how 911 was not a postive event and many people have bad memories of the day. What I intended to do was just put a whole bunch of pictures of what happened in 911 and some of the reactions of 911 all mounted on one another in collage form so it would impact the person looking at my collage, since for many americans it was such an impacting day. I placed lots of pictures of the buildings being attacked and people crying for that purpose. I think when people look at my collage it stricks them as impacting and it memorializes the life changing negative event in the U.S  so I believe it came out the way I enteded it to be and I am satisfisfied with it.

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 08:01:00 -0700 What is Art? http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/what-is-art http://natalienunez70.posterous.com/what-is-art

I define art as any way of manifesting self expression for the world to see. I believe its anything that can express your individuality, thoughts, feelings, and mood. I think it can be demonstrated in many ways such as the tongue of a writer, the paintings of an artist, or the lyrics of a muscian. I believe even the way we dress is a form of art because you express your individuality and your mood according to what you are wearing in a particular day. Since everyone thinks differently and has different taste, I don't believe art can be judged. To each its own, but as long as the persons feelings are being demonstrated on to something (lyrics, paintings, etc) I believe that's art.
