Art 110 Summer 2022

    When I look up Addario works online, her most prominent or known works seems to be photographs of war. She photographs war from both sides as a soldier and as a citizen of the country it's happening in. But it seems like she doesn't only just show the brutal aspects of war, she also shows what civilian life is like during the war and after the war. Her work humanizes the other side and it makes you think about how when we hear about war and other countries, we don't think about the civilians on the other side and how they're fairing.      Cardiff and Miller make multisensory exhibitions that people can walk through. In these exhibitions, visitors experience an exhibition that is described as unsettling. From what I've seen, the exhibitions make it seem like you're entering an empty room with dark lighting. They use audio and lighting to make you feel and experience what they want when you walk through the exhibition. For example, one of them is a desk and ch...

  My shift starts at 11am today so I woke up at 7am to get ready for work! This is my bathroom at home. I just dyed my hair purple and pink the night before too! All of my scrubs are dirty so I had to do laundry before I leave for work. Time is now around 7:45am! My supervisor called at 8am today. Apparently my shift started at 7am today and no one told me. I just put in the laundry so now I can't get there until 11am anyways..... I arrived at work at 11am! I work on the first floor of the hospital in the microbiology department. Most of my work today was to accept patient samples and check them into the lab for processing. I finished my shift at 7:40pm today. I stayed a little bit late because I felt bad about being 4 hours late. I st. a new record today.... I'm still technically at the hospital in these pictures. It took me 10 minutes to get to my car from the lab so I didn't get to leave until 10:50pm I made it home in these pictures. All of the anxiety caught up to me a...

      Sarah Elgart choreographs dance which is kind of hard to explain. I think she uses ballet/contemporary style dance moves as a way to show imagery, but from a few videos I've seen on Youtube, I'm not quite sure if I understand what she's trying to portray. I watched  Alexandre Features "Ghost Story" by Sarah Elgart ( link ), Grand Performances presents Sarah Elgart (COLA 2021 Feature Presentation) ( link ), and Sarah Elgart ( link ). Her choreographies all seem to have similar dance styles, but they don't have an explanation and she never writes one that I have seen either, so I would assume that her dances, much like other art piecies such as paintings, are made so that the meaning is up to the viewer's perception. Besides dance, I see that she also produced a short film, directed some music videos, and writes in a magazine column about dance and film.      Camille is a singer and an actress. Her music seems to utilize as little instruments ...

      The first three pictures are my campus maps. It's very clear that I know the upper campus better than I know the lower campus. For the upper campus, I placed LA5 next to the psychology building instead of behind it. I also completely missed the rest of the LA buildings, mostly because I forgot about them. I also missed the faculty office buildings and the CLA building. I did remember the multimedia center but I forgot the name to it. I also forgot the academic success building but for me at least, that building is pretty much part of the library, so I never considered it as separate to begin with. I pretty much forgot the entirety of the lower campus. I really only know where the USU, kinesiology, and health science buildings are. I even completely forgot we have a sports field. Most of my classes are in hall of science or molecular cell building so I rarely ever go anywhere else. I think this pretty much tells me that I spend my walks around campus glued to my phon...

      I'm not going to lie, I did not love this activity. I hate the smell of paint and the fumes coming from the can made me really nauseous. I wore a mask because I thought it would help but it didn't and now my stomach is not happy. That look in my eyes is the look of someone about to throw up. Besides that, spray painting is a lot harder than I thought it would be. The cannister is really hard to control which is different from a paint brush and it didn't make concise lines. Sometimes I'd press too hard and a lot of paint would come out and drip everywhere, or sometimes I didn't press hard enough and the paint just splattered everywhere. My fingers got tired after the first letter. This honestly was not great. I tried to make it look bubble like but it didn't work out. I got white paint too to make it appear shiny in some areas like a bubble, but my stomach said no and now I'm lying down indoors. 0/10 I am not made to be a graffiti artist and neither is ...

      Lady Pink is a graffiti artist who paints bright and colorful work. From her website, most of her work on trains is paintings of names, whether its people or groups, or just her own. Although, there is one painting of Stimpy from the cartoon The Ren & Stimpy Show. When you google her name and graffiti, you see a lot of colorful artwork that could be political, cultural, or religious. There are also lots of other work that doesn't seem like they have a specific meaning to me, but rather just expressions of her creativity. Her work does seem like what I'd expect from street art though in the sense that their art is colorful and explosive. Liu Wei is an artist from Beijing that does paintings and sculptures. His website says that in his early works he did a lot of political paintings about his skepticism, but perhaps it's just my lack of political knowledge, but I don't quite see it. His political paintings generally have a Chinese military man facing to the left...

 Both Sachs and Fateman are artists making zines, but their concepts and art styles for their zines are very different. Sachs's zines show his interests, worksheets, and DIY projects that the reader or he does. His zines seem like they are fit for people who like to try new projects and exploring their interests. The zines that I looked at were Moon Rock Report and 10 Bullets. 10 Bullets is a zine that I think tells you how to make your life easier. From the pictures that I see, none of the instructions are particularly hard, if anything these things are obvious to know, but they're things that many people procrastinate on, such as cleaning the house and washing the dishes. Moon Rock Report explores his interest in the moon and shows pictures of moon rocks and documents detailing each rock. From what I've seen, Fateman mostly did zines as a diary. Her zines seem more punk/emo which is something I probably would have done as a high schooler and I love it. I didn't find a...
