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?

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?

Unreal creatures

I decided to do my presentation on the fantasy creatures and the controversy on them .although they didn't exist
Many people have enjoyed making great movies and plays with them especially great portraits and paintings. There so magnificent but yet UN- real people might even have mistaken them for modern day animals or dinosaurs but they are UN- real. Although what if they were… I would like you all to take 2 to 4 minutes drawing a sketch of a mythical creatures this would include anything that isn’t modern day and past animals and humans( no humans no vampires centaurs ware wolves nothing to do with humans)now that you've done this the creature you have drawn let’s get to our discussion questions

1. If you were to have thins creature you do as a pet just like a pet (remember that cat and dogs for example have bad habits keep you’re creatures habits at mind.
2. Now since this is a fantasy creature if it could talk would you talk to it? Would you be friends with it?
3(to those who creatures are large) if this thing was a menace but it was for good reasons would you "take care of it" or would you try to understand why it does things and leave it alone.
3.To those who have small creatures)if this creature was wild and un willing like a wolf would you try to domesticate it or leave it as is in the wild terrorizing things.

Nail Art

I decided to do nail art because it was different. i also wanted to show the different ways to create nail art. Nail art started in the 19th century. i was interested in nail art because i was fascinated with the things that people can do with nails. i was also interested because no two designs are alike.


1.) why do you think nail art was created?

2.)if you could create your own nail how would you design it?

3.) what are some tools that may be used to make nail art?

1940's Swagg

This is a picture of a Zuit suit and Vintage dress that men and women wore in the 1940's. This caught my attention because I couldn't believe people actually dressed like this. Also if you look at the way some people dress now and look back at this you see a major difference in what we call swag and what they used to call it. Now we wear baggy jeans and short dresses and skirts. But back then they more these long type dresses and these suits with high cuffed tight legged trousers and long coats with wide shoulders.

Discussion Questions
1. What do you think of the way people dressed in the 1940's?
2. If these clothes came back in style would you wear them? Why or Why not?
3. How are the Vintage dress and Zuit suit similar to the dresses and suits we have today?
