Different Arts Of The Women Goddess

As you know there are some artworks that no ones hardly pays attention to. They give it a glimpse than move along their way. The theme of this exhibition is to let you realize the women goddess. I choose this theme because not every one would take the time out to let their mind venture out and know the true meaning of the women goddess and what role they played in the past and present and probably the future. Secondly I just love women But mainly just giving the concept and ideas of what the different women goddess from different arts. As you have heard stories gods or goddess play a big role in human civilization in the past and now. For example different types of human culture praised in a god or goddess. The women goddess represent the  many things such as the humanification of mother hood, purification and spritual healing in one self and the birth of humanity.


      The three pieces of art work is similar to one another because it represents women. The only difference is that these artworks are from different time periods in the past as well as culture. They share appearances of artwork of the human body of women. Based on my analyses it is not effected by where or when the work was created cause as I said they are different and from different time periods as well as cultures. The common feeling I have about this is the respect and honesty for women. Basically giving me an idea of what the goddess woman do to help create generation and generation of people from their cultures or so.

1st Art Work - "Lotus" , Michael Klein, 2007
2nd Art Work - "Concrete, wave pomade, beeswax, house paint, spotlight " Michael Klein
3rd Art Work - "Blossom", gift of the Contemporary Art Council, and the Mary Smith Dorward Fund. 2011.10


      Based on these three art works it relates to its exhibit. All three of these art works has it own significant feature to it. These art work can be a mixture of personal and cultural because it can define how an artist feel and the message its trying to portray. For example the art work blossom is very unusual art work with a piano connection to the tree. A tree can symbolize many things in life whether its love, hate or just life and they music the piano plays can signifies that. The different identity between these art work in my opinion is beauty, leadership, and life in general. Each of these art works sum up the idea of it identity for its show because you can get that feeling and idea of what the art work is trying to tell you especially where the art work is located. The surroundings of where the art work is located from each different shows can also give that idea. For example the second art work the artist try to show you the past and the future. Here you have a light shining on Dr. Martin Luther King Junior and in the shadow it shows President Barack Obama. This probably gives you an example of how history repeats itself in a way. The identity is outstanding with the three artworks. I wonder myself if it gives you an idea of how a human feel or what someone goes through.

       Here are three artworks I choose that are every caught my attention the most. The first artwork I choose is the denim jacket that have words of Shanghai Kate. Another artwork is the tattoo that says time kills by Rona Yefman. I would like to explain about the first two artworks. The first artwork caught my attention because of the way it was displayed and also what the saying of what Shanghai Kate was saying. The space were it was put up seems like an alley way. The alley way was dark and it was a light shining on the jacket. That light came from the second art work that says time kills. But going back to the first artwork to me it had a powerful saying to it. You had a jacket that had a saying on it that was hanging up in an alley way. To me that jacket can be considered as someone who probably felt that way. A person who encounter darkness or who is trap in darkness still can see the light or feel there is an bigger image within all the darkness that is around them. The second artwork which is called time kills is simple yet have an big image to it. I really didnt understand until I realize that we do live a way buy everything on time. Time means alot to every one who don't have a full control over themselves. Its also shows that you are not living life. Since it was also in the dark alley way that have red and blue neon lights on each way this can show how some one feels.. When you encounter darkness time kills is saying you have different moods about different things. You have alot of ideas within you that you are holding back. So by speaking to yourself you probably can let it all out. You shouldn't let things run you and that how i feel the message "time kills" is trying to portray.
      For the last art work the space itself caught my attention. When stepping into the museum it had a big space. The artwork as you can see is shattered pieces put together that are stars. By analyzing the space and the artwork i conclude that its trying to tell the audience that they are bring dreams but its shattered or someone was trying to reach for the stars and it wasn't working for them. Also is the light shine you, you can see the reflection of your self. Since there are broking pieces put together they are still some big goals that could not be accomplish. So this artwork has told me this is how someone feels or what has happen to them. To me of these art works were in a different type of space I would have a different out look on them. For example the denim jacket. If I have seen this at the MoMa I would have said to myself the message is clear. Some one had met their goals and finally succeed and I will left it as that. But since these artworks are underground I look at it in a different aspect.

Art Food Yum!

Javier's Stew Beef With Bittermelon

This is a recipe my parents cooked just to have something to eat. This recipe is what they learn as youths growing up in Guyana. There really is not a recipe tht have accurate of teaspoon or such. You just use your ingredients on how you see it or how you think you should cook it. Mainly you assumption But I should give you an idea on how its supposed to be done.

Ingredients

1. 2 to 3 cups of rice

2. A pound of chicken or beef
3. Seasonings ( Black Pepper, Lemon Pepper, Soul Seasoning, Oregano, Old Bay Seasoning
4. Celery
5. Parlies
6. Scallions
7. 1 onion
8. 2 garlic
9. 1 tamatoes (green)
10. Bittermelons



Direction

1. Clean the chicken then cut the chicken or beef you can let the chicken soak with vinegar and lemon in warm water for a while. (In this case all of this was done along time ago so it came out of the freezer clean and the beef was cut a long time ago so my pops was cutting the chicken already.) 2.Get a cooking pot and put at least 1/2 of cup of cooking oil into the pot. Let the cooking oil get hot before you put anything into it. 3.Dice the bitterlemons into cubes. Also dice the parlies, scallions, onions, garlic, tamatoes small or into cubes if you can. 4. After the the cooking oil gets hot add the chicken or beef into the pot. 4.While the chicken is cooking add the seasonings as well. 5. Add the celery parlies scallions onion garlics tamatoes and bittermelons into the pot. 6.Let it cook for at least 35 - 45 mins. (stir fry).

I apologize if you feel certain things were left out. Certain things that was supposed to be shown and explain was cook or done ahead of time.

HIGH FUNCTIONALITY

 

 Maarten Baas (Dutch, b. Germany 1976)

Analog Digital Clock

Sweeper's Clock

The two low functionality objects I choose were not that important to me or a way of living. "The Doubled Wide Chair" is just an basic chair were anybody can sit on. It really makes no diffference on the way of living. Also "Crowbot Jenny" shows no high functionality. This is just something to watch to get somebody attention. Probably a broadcast or something. I really dont think you can make these objects more ergonomic than they already are. I believe its really no use for it. The two design or art work I believe is high functionality are "Google Maps My Block NYC" and "Sweeper's Clock." The two high functional objects are can be alter to be more ergonomic because here you have updated techonology. "My Block NYC"  is a touch screen map. You can use it to find where you want to go and it shows the neighborhood you live in and its a more easier and simple way than to use a computer or smartphones because after a while those things cant function well after a period of time. The sweepers clock is another high functionality because it can make life more easier. Just imagine if you were in the city and you see a big screen of sweepers telling you the time. Its and updated technology were you can also keep in your house as well. It can catch the viewer attention while trying to tell you the time. Its common to as watch or any form of technology telling the time.

An object do not need to be more highly functional to be a good design. They are many artworks that may look plain but can be a good design. It just really matters how the artist is trying to present the art work and the meaning of it. I believe a good design how much the art work would cost. That shows if its highly functional to be a good design or not. Art and design is not two separate ideas because the design is art no matter what. We use art in different ways. For example what if you saw a can food that haves an octagon shape. You will be amazed that the have an can food like that and yet it will seem akward. So art and design comes together like hand in hand. So their is really no different between them. What is art without design should be a good question to think about.
