April Blog: Blow Your mind

There are certainly many kinds of art. There are some that just blow your mind. Here are a few of my favorite:


This is a "Prada" store found in Valentine, Texas (2005). An art installation that isn't really a store or an advertisement. The  merchandise is Prada but it is only right shoe of a pair, and bags with no bottom.

(McQueen) Exhibition.


One of my favorite of Salvador Dali. Guess how many people there are in the picture.






Is it wonderful how as humans we can take an idea and make something so original. No two people can create the same exact thing unless you copy an original idea. We all have different experiences to represent who we are, and that is what makes it so crazy.

Blog 19: Independent Component 2

Literal:

a) I, Imelda Gomez, affirm that I completed my  independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

b) Art Center College of Design Saturday High Classes
Instructor: Warren Craig Attebery
Class : Figure Drawing

c)Independent Component 2 Log

d) I took a figure drawing class where I got do learn different techniques and ways to draw the human body. We used different methods from cubism, to plain and at the end we got to use a bit of color.

Interpretive:
Just some of the many pages I have of my work.
Most of our drawings were done with wood covered Charcoal.

Top: .03 Micron Marker
Middle: Willow Charcoal
Bottom: Wood Covered Charcoal 

Sides: Pastels
Middle Side: Kneaded Eraser
Bottom: Box Cutter 

Using my micron .03 marker that's why the pictures are so light.

Negative and positive using pastel

Here we toned the paper using the Willow Charcoal.

Final two drawings using colored pastels.

Dog approved. 

Applied:
 Figure drawing is a  basic course taught for fashion design. Figure drawing helps imagine the movement and the flow of a garment on a person. I got a feeling on the way the human moves, how it looks through those different movements, poses, and lighting. I got to practice how to translate that onto a paper.  It helped me answer my E.Q. because it taught me how even more connected art and fashion are since, any designers have to know how to create a beautiful garment that looks beautiful on the body.They had to have lots of practice watching the body and learning the way fabric moves and flows away when the body is in movement. Practice and observation is the way to create beautiful pieces.
