ATAP as of Week 5

     This week I began work on my website, uploading my four assignments and laying the ground work for the rest of the project. I'm enjoying the way my website is coming along, although I've never done anything like this so I am a little unsure about whether or not my setup is too simple. I think that what has been most helpful for me is making a hand written outline of my site, with the details of each assignment taken from the ATAP overview page. I think for next week I will start to go through my previous critical pieces and expand them to meet the requirements for the final.

    Hey Mike! I agree this website thing is a little funky because I also never needed to create one. I looked at your past project posts and saw you wanted to continue with art like we are doing in class. I honestly think that's a really good idea because technically you have already been practicing. Also, the assignments we needed to add last week still relate to what your whole website will be focused on!

    I feel like getting used to the website can be a bit annoying? I do think once we get used to it, it won't be too bad. I never made one of these so it's new to me but I think I can get the hang of it so hopefully things go well.

Analyzing the Post-Modern

  Image: Marilyn Monroe ; Source: Pinterest     In the piece Marilyn Monroe  by Andy Warhol, Post-Modern values are exemplified through the use of color and repetition, which brings about ideas of industrialization.     Warhol's use of color in this piece creates differences in the otherwise identical four pictures of Marilyn Monroe. This creates the idea of uniqueness, but this is not the idea that Warhol desired to display. The opposite, the repetitive nature of the pictures is where Warhol's intentions lie. Each image, differentiated only by color, are meant to represent Warhol's disdain for manufacturing and mass marketing. He hoped to display Monroe as an object through which to represent society's consumerism. Each item manufactured on a large scale, worshipped by society as a unique good, which in this instance devalues the individual worth of Monroe, but on a larger scale devalues the worth of unique or artisan products.     These ideas ar...

Modernism in a Physical Display

Guggenheim Museum by Frank Lloyd Wright, 1959; Source: Trendir     The above work, the Guggenheim Museum, effectively displays the values of Modernism while appealing to a wider audience, all through design and aesthetic characteristics, which brings about ideas of today's fluid working environment. The Guggenheim's tiered, circular upper portion serves two purposes. The first provides a spiraling interior used to display artwork in a way which allows the audience to flow through the work in a sequence. The second is to emphasize the freedom within Modernism. The building rejects the square-cornered boundaries of the surrounding city, instead focusing on dynamic curves which invite viewers to explore freedom of expression. The museum houses works of art, while it's own exterior is a Modernist work, creating a feeling of interest and artisanship within onlookers. The fluidness of the buildings exterior and the purpose-built interior lead to contemporary...

Enlightenment Movement and Culture

Image
      The Enlightenment was a revolutionary cultural movement which serves as a basis for much of modern science, philosophy and society. It championed reason and renounced the feudalist ways of the past, paving the way for the average citizen in society. Out of the Enlightenment emerged the first glimpses of equality among people.
