ATAP as of Week 7

     This week I continued doing some setup on my site, as well as adding my Post-Modernism analysis to the list. I found it helpful to write out all the requirements for the project, including word counts required for each assignment alongside the word count that I have actually written. I think that next week since there will be less work for blog posts and feedback, I will start to go back and revise my critical analysis pieces to match the project requirements. Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good on my work so far, and hope to stay on track with decent time management.

    Hello Mike, I have also decided to go down that route of adding more words to my critical analysis pages because I see that my word count is under the expected. I actually plan on revising at least one of my writing pieces per week as I feel like it will be best for me. I am not someone who enjoys editing and revising so one piece a week is alright. Kudos to you to want to revise all 4 this upcoming week!

    I thought that it was a very, very smart idea to write out all the requirements and word counts for the project. I will definitely be using this method in order to help keep myself on track with my writing. I also agree that this week will be well spent by going back and revising the critical analysis essays, as there is not as much work on the blog posts.

    Hello Mike, I am glad to hear that work is going well with your project so far. I agree with the other commenters in thinking that making a list was a good idea, and can function as a checklist of sorts to help you stay on top of your project. Adding work you already had to the website was a good idea too, and likely helped something as abstract as writing goals feel more productive since you still put some completed content on your website.

Analyzing the Post-Modern

Image
  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.
