Post #17- READING AND GRQ – THOMPSON AND BORDWELL - FILM AND VIDEO HISTORY KATE HORSFIELD - BUSTING THE TUBE

 Reading:

The reading was very interesting with extensions of what we learned in class during the lecture. The text was a bit long to keep all the information stuck in my head to remember, but overall, it did give some insight into how art has evolved and why it has changed. The definition is for sure nothing like the way it was thousands of years ago. Maya Deren is very inspirational. She acted in her films, but she brought new filmmaking and made it art. It's like performance art because it was so different. Also, talking about the evolution of the camera and seeing how we have come so far in quality and image. I wish we could read more about electronic media and how it had evolved throughout history, but art has fluctuated into a new meaning, and it does not consist of one thing. It will evolve and become more than just a word. 




Discussion: Do you spend 8 hours or more a day watching digital media?

In my opinion, it really depends on the day how much I am on my phone. If I am at school, or at work I will not be on my phone more than 2 hours a day. If it's a weekend or a day where we don't do much then my time will spend on any electronic device. When it comes to any other activities or things that I do that take 8 hours of my day, there is not anything else that I can think of unless if I can sleep in one day and sleep more than 8 hours. My phone is the biggest problem I have. I do spend a lot of time on it, and it is way worse than I thought. Ever since I started college, my screen time has been reduced by half. Yes, it's still a lot of time no matter what, but it my eyes, its progress.

STORYTELLING PERFORMANCE

To start my storytelling performance, I will be in a dark room with only faint light gleams.  I will start with a very subtle authority taking voice.  Story: The Native Americans, the beginning. Outdoors and survival. The Romans. The colosseum with Outdoor entertainment. The pantheon. The Indoor entertainment. Byzantine Architecture. Hagia Sophia. Gothic Cathedral, the shape of a cross. St peters square brought the St Peters Basilica. Baroque Architecture. Baroque Theatre. The fourth wall was created. Baroque Operas. Music with dialogue. Farinelli, a revered singer.

Post #2 Raul Cuero

 Post #2- Raul Cuero I very much agree with Raul Cuero. Being able to innovate is having something added onto, but being able to invent is way more important because we get to be a part of something new.  Everyone can be creative especially those who want to invent something are more creative than those who want to innovate on something that has existed. Everyone has their own creative mind and I agree with what he said over being you and your own inventor.  In my daily life, I can apply what Raul said, by being able to not follow instructions that were given but being able to innovate them and apply and invent new ones that can get me a better end result. Rues to need to be followed but being creative is by following them, but being able to do it in your way.  Notes from short video watched in class: The pheromones are molecules that make a connection when the temperature gets higher.  Information you pick up, you need to apply it to be knowledge, if you don't ...

MIDTERM 211-3- Group 5

 Fauvism Link to presentation: Media Arts Mid Term - Google Slides Fauvism was inspired by the Post-Impressionist movement. The art included bold colors, non-naturalistic depictions, and textured brushwork. The art was very EXPRESSIVE!! The art gave any object, person, or landscape new colors that people were not used to seeing. It brought many new shapes to objects.   Fauvism in 1 minute: (188) Fauvism | 1 Minute Crash Course - YouTube Fauvism today is still in relation to Fauvism art in the 20th century, An artist that I found interesting is Tim Fowler. The Lauren Bacall that Tim painted with oils, varnish, acrylic, spray paint and gloss may not exactly be the materials that 20th century artists used, but the end result is a revolutionary one. This painting looks like Henri Matisse- Madame Matisse. (The green line) My question for the class: Where did fauvism originate? Answer: D.) France     *** I edited all the videos except Greenberg. ***
