LUIS MORALES
i want you to take a min in youre skecthbook and right down some unique items you can make a pixeld drawing with
it can be a lego to a flat screen be creative

would you try to attempt this would you take the time and patience

think of a picture you would like to make out of your unique item wat would it be?

picked art illusions because I think that it is interesting to hear what other people think they see. When you first look at the images you can only see one thing, whether it is big or small. In illusion your eyes might only let you see one thing but not the other. For some people it is hard to see what the other person is seeing. Sometimes we have to turn out heads or look at the picture from a different angle in order to see the other image that appears. Some images take longer to figure out then others. I thought that the young girl was the hardest because it took me awhile to find the image. I thought that the horse pictures were the easiest because I saw both the of the images as soon as the picture

Questions:
1. What was the first thing you saw in some of the images?
2. Do you think it is difficult to make one image appear as two or more?
3. What two images would you combine to make an illusion?

Public Art by Dennis Oppenheim

Since the late 1960s, Dennis Oppenheim has been creating artwork at it's best. He bases his artwork off of imperfections, danger, and discomfort. Uncomfortably created, his work leaves artist with a sense of humor and terror. While researching his works, I found his sculptures to be the most interesting. In my opinion, I believe I enjoyed the sculptures because just as I am, they are extraordinary. Even more compelling, they are unusual and fascinating to see.

The image shown above is called the "Bus Home." According to the artist, "The work depicts the metamorphosis of a bus becoming a house." This sculpture is located at Pacific View Mall in Buenaventure, California.






My favorite of all, "Device To Root Out Evil." This sculpture was created in 1997. Shown in this image, a church is resting on its steeple. The church represents the device rooting out evil forces. This sculpture is located in Denver, Colorado.




What are some sculptures that you have seen that interested you?

If you could create a sculpture to place publicly, what would you create?

Would you place it in a specific area? If so, why?

Crown Fountain

http://www.flickr.com/photos/the-o/1007369619/

I decided to do my presentation on the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park of Chicago. The fountain was created by Jaume Plensa and opened in July of 2004. The Crown fountain is actually two 50ft towers with LED displays that show the face of a Chicago citizen, with the face changing every five minutes. From May to October, water comes out of the mouth of each tower. In the summer, many people go to the Crown Fountain to cool off. The fountain’s large LED displays and sprouting water makes it a big part of Chicago pop culture.

1. Would you want your face on a public display of art? Why or why not?
2. Have you ever seen the Crown Fountain or another piece of public art?
3. If you could create your own public art, what would it be?

Cartoon Characters

I decided to do my project on the art of cartoon characters. Everyone has their favorite cartoon character, and everyone loves watching them. But who creates them?, how are they invented? Many questions arose when I watch Spongebob Sqaurepants, or see Hello Kitty accessories. I wanted to explore more on cartoon characters because this type of art is very noticed, and loved by a lot of people and it also caught my attention.

Spongebob Squarepants is an American Cartoon Character. He lives in Bikini Bottom with other sea creatures

Hello kitty is a fictional Japanese Bobtail Cat who was first a character on a coin purse. She is supposed to be born November 1st in the surburbs of London.







Questions:
1. Who is your favorite cartoon Character and why?
2. If you were to meet one of your favorite cartoon character, how would you feel?
3. If you were ask to draw a carton character what will their name be and who would be the target audience?

Characters in this collage is from the cartoon show Spongebob.I like to watch the show as well.I really thought this was a cool collage that someone had made.I would love to have this picture hanging on my wall.It was great to share with you this collage I had found interesting to me.

Discussion Questions:

1.What are some cartoon characters you would put in a collage similar to this one?
2.How do you think collages even began?
3.What would you say steads out the most to you in this picture?

LeBron James

I chose to do my project on LeBron James, the most hated iconic player in the NBA. Many NBA fans in the world look at LeBron as a "traitor", bum, or quitter for leaving Cleveland behind for South Beach. It is unbelievable how so many people can hate one person so much in the world that shaped the art of the game basketball today. I also chose this picture because it is his famous chalk clap before the game which leads to his domination in the NBA world.

Questions
1.What do you think about LeBron's decision to go to South Beach?
2.Do you think the game of basketball would be different today without LeBron James?
3.If you were to compare LeBron to any other player that has played or is playing now who would it be? Why?
