For this last project I wanted to do one of my favorite pieces I’ve made and show the process of me remaking every so often. I love this piece because I personally want to get it as a tattoo on myself but first I want to perfect it. I chose eyes because there the most interesting part of the human body in my opinion. As well as the creepiness to the piece in general I just love! What I love about this piece is how it feels like it’s a part of me and the progress I’ve made throughout the years. What I want to work on more with this piece is just perfecting it. Other then that I can’t find anything I don’t like about it, i see this kind of art as a part of me.

For this project I wanted to show what it feels like to have anxiety and depression and show growth over time. When I feel a sort of way I take the time to listen to music and finger paint how I feel in an abstract form. I sat on the floor in a dark room with only paint, light and a canvas. While I was painting for what was probably 15 minutes my boyfriend would take photos of me during the process from the beginning to the end. I chose to do photos because I don’t really like filming myself and it gives me more anxiety then it should. What I really like about this project is the painting I made in general and the emotions while painting. What I wanted to change is me stepping out of my boundaries and film myself painting. But I absolutely love how everything turned out and love how it made me feel. Let’s just say I cried at the end.

Project 3: one minute super cut

The other history of intercultural performance: Reading the article was hard to take in, the article talks about racism and how people treat different kinds of culture. As well as the video included in the lesson it shows how racism is shown through performance art. The video Coco Fusco and Guillermo Gomez Pena The Couple in the Cage: Two Undiscovered Amerindians Visit the West, shows what the article is talking about. Putting themselves in cages and acting like they’ve never seem things before, as well as having the behavior of an animal in a cage. There trying to show how racism is in society all throughout history.

Performance: A hidden history: We can date back to this kind of art form since the cave period where there were paintings on walls. I would say its a hidden history because not many feel like it an art form and not a lot of discovery goes into this sort of art form. As well as it sometimes makes others uncomfortable but that sometimes the point in performance art. There also performance all around us form when you cook food to getting dressed it can becomes performance art.

Vanishing a sort of movement that was once there and slowly fading, while becoming is from something that wasn’t there appearing to the blank page. These forms can be seen in almost any sort of art form, from a film, to a photo and still like painting. For example in the article they show Gina Czarnecki Nascent piece made in 2005. The painting shows motions that are fading but also still, it brings movement and time into it as well. The piece also has a sort of something that wasn’t there before being slowly moving there. In another one of Ginas pieces Nascent shows movement in all directions, whether it’s fading or it’s bold, showing vanishing points and becoming points. These pieces also show time and movement from chapter 6. Another piece that also shows vanishing and becoming is David Hall's piece A Situation Envisaged from 1988 to 1990, the circle in the center being still whip the background showing a sort of vanishing point to it making it have movement. As well as the circle should having bold points as well as vanishing points making it also have a still movement.

Time and motion is in every form of art from a standing still sculpture to a motion picture film. While some are just frame by frame photos of motion it still has time and movement involved. As well as storyboards for any sort of film or movie is still considered to have time and motion. For example in the chapter they show pictures of the star wars movie frame by frame in a storyboard it still has time and motion into it making it flow. What also can stand still while having motion into it are sculptures. With an abstract form you can create motion, for example Alexander Calder piece Vertical Constellation with Bomb is an abstract form with what looks like it can move in a slow motion. Making it not only look like a sculpture but a function in a machine. Another sort of art form that brings motion and time into it are fireworks. They have a colorful explosion that goes fast in the beginning, takes time to explode, and when it’s finished the colors slowly fall creating more time and motion, it is also shown in an art piece called Fireworks over Central Beijing.
