Week 10 – Art Activity – Intermedia


    For this project, I decided to draw a cartridge used to run PCR covid tests. The cartridge is actually only supposed to be blue and a clear/white in the middle, but I thought leaving it uncolored wouldn't look nice so I used brown for the clear/white part. The red is the sample added into the cartridge. It enters the cartridge through the little square opening that I drew on the top lower right hand corner. The middle square is supposed to be a QR code. 
    I thought about using uncooked rice mixed with food coloring, paint, and eyeshadow. I went with eyeshadow for this because I didn't want to spend more money at Target. I think the piece would probably look better if I used paint or pens instead. It probably would have been easier to do too. I think I did well drawing it, it's not super ugly or anything. I feel like if you looked at it you would know its a something meant for a test, maybe a normal person wouldn't know what it's meant for but you know its a cartridge of some sort.

Week 3 - Artists OTW - Alexander Fleming & Jerri Bartholomew

Image
       Alexander Fleming is microbiologists working during the early 1900s and is most known as the scientists who dicovered penicillin. Not only did he discover one of the most important antibiotics we use to date, he was also one of the first scientists to use microbes for art. He painted people, objects, houses, and actions on a petri dish using bacteria. His artwork below is a person, two people fighting, and a mother feeding her baby. I think petri dish art is especially difficult to do because unlike regular paint,  bacteria cultures are usually clear with a slight yellowish tinge to it.This makes it really difficult to see what is being drawn. You would basically have to draw blind and then grow it and see what happens. The only indication you have that tells the artist that they may be doing something right is the marks on the agar from the inoculating brush. Clearly he kept it up and got a lot better, which I think is very impresive. Jerri Bartholomew i...

Name your blog post: Week 11 – Artist – Choice

 Jason Mecier and Andrew Gorkovenko 1. Who is Jason Mecier? Jason Mecier is a mosaic artist that creates images of celebrities out of anything he wants, from bacon to make Kevin Bacon and even Honey Boo Boo from trash (although this sounds terrible, the mosaic actually turned out pretty nice. I wouldn't be offended if I was her.). He is quite popular as an artist. According to his biography, his work has been featured in music videos, televsion, and bought by many different celebrities.  2. Who is Andrew Gorkovenko? Andrew Gorkovenko is a Russian graphic designer that actually works as an advertising designer specializing in brands. While he does use other media other than food to do most of his work, one of his works that I saw that I thought was very cool was his TripTea collection. Here he creates packaging for different teas and uses the actual tea leaves themselves to depict each country.  3. How are they similar and how are they different? I think they're both ...

Week 1 - Artist - Spill Sesh & Lovelyti TV

 Spill Sesh and Lovelyti TV are both drama channels that talk about other creaters or celebrities who are  in the middle of drama or cancellations. They both discuss the backgrounds of these celebrities, then their drama, and how normal people are perceiving their drama. I suppose their goal would be to inform people of their favorite celebrities' wrongdoings, but I think money is a bigger motivator because of how popular drama channels are and how much negative attention attracts people. The difference between these two channels would be who they report on and their anonymity. Spill Sesh keeps their name and face anonymous while Lovelyti TV is out in the open. Spill Sesh mainly covers other Youtubers with the occasional celebrity while Lovelyti TV covers reality TV stars. I watch them in my free time or when I need background noise. These days, neither really seem authentic but I don't think any content creator is actually authentic. Drama channels have an easier time being l...
