Final two critique
 |
| On the left is playful and on the right is periodic. I chose the playful picture because it shows the movement and different sizes of squares going down the big square that is off the page while periodic one showed a pattern and designed that can be continued throughout the page. My group during class discussed the my final two squares to see if I had to fix or can improve on any of my two squares. They were able to easily identify which on was playful and periodic without any confusion. Tension was shown with the playful picture on the left with the two squares at the top falling down like their going to hit each other. They also discussed how playful used good use of frame while the periodic squares centered towards the center. Over all they thought the squares were okay and they chose the playful picture to recreate in 3D for the next assignment. |

Reading summary/Living with art
The role of the artist
What do artist do?
Four basic functions of an artist.
1. Artist record
- Record visual experiences that can be preserved for historical reference
2. Give tangible form to unknown
- Attempt to record what cannot be seen
3. Tangible form to feelings
- The artist own feeling expressed in their art.
4. Innovative way of seeing
Creative people tend to posses traits such as sensitivity, flexibility, originality, playfulness, productivity, fluency, analytical skill, and organizational skills.
The role of the observer
Beauty in art is an opinion and a person should be open to a wide range of experiences.
Not all artist draw realistically and some choose not to.
Representational art - Images that look very much like the real world.
Illusionistic - Means images so natural they trick us into thinking its real.
Trempe-l' oeil means fool the eye in french.
Abstact work- Refrences to the natural world but does not duplicate exactly.
Stylized - Certain features of a natural form that are exaggerated in a special way.
Nonrepresentational art - Has no refrences to natural world of images.
Expression - Artist's unique view of art and the world.

Process critique of cardboard nature project
My group members agreed and noticed that there was enough of my project done to be recognizable as a acorn top. The overall layout of the triangle patterns were alright and went around like a circle. A few parts of the acorn were needed to cover parts of the project especially the the bottom of the acorn. Overall most of the project was done and some minor details are now being fixed.
