My artwork background is 3/4 different colors. The very top is a dark wine red, then has a very little layer under it thats a purple/red color. Underneath that one is a very dark purple with some red undertone, then under that color is a light bright purple. The layer after that is a purple/pink mixture and under that is a lighter pink. The pink is most of ther center with light purple on top of it for the bottom and top half of the pink. Under that is the final color which is the same as the top red and purple mixed together so its very dark red. For my main piece of art I drew a light-bulb and inside of it I drew flowers. I have 6 different flowers in the light bulb. The first "flower" is all green and its more of like a weed looking thing then a flower. Next to that one is a flower, the petals are yellow with some orange lightly over the top, and the petals are outlined in red. The center of flower is orange with light red on top. Then the next one is a rose, light pink and red shaded together with green leave things on the botton of the rose connecting to the stem. By the rose is another one of those weed things, next to that is a lily flower. The color of the petals are pink, and the liliy filament (thing that is inside if the petals) are a light almost lime green color. On the stem of the lily there is two light green leaves. Then finally next to the lily is a sunflower. The petals are a bright yellow, and the middle is a very light brown. The stem also has two leaves. Then I cut out the light bulb and mod podged it onto the canvas that I described before. Once the light bulb dried onto the canvas I found and cut out pictures of actual flowers. In the top left coner is another pink and green lily, below that is like my weed thingy but instead of it being green like mine it is red. Below that in the bottom left coner is a light blue, purple flower with the center being light yellow and white. then in the middle bottom are three tiny light pink roses. Then in the bottom right corner is a pink/red petal color and a dark mustered yellow. Above the in the right side between the bottom red and top right is a maroon red with white on the bottom of the petals. The center is another mustered yellow but lighter then the flower below it. Now in the top right corner is a light purple with a red middle but there is very tiny red things on the yellow part. I mod podged it on again then once it dried I was finished. The meaning behind mine is just the meaning of spring, a new beginning, to keep on going even when things are hard because there is good in the world you just need to wait and find it. I hope people get good, happy vibes from this artwork. I used recontextulization and justaposition by giving the light bulb new meaning, putting flowers there instead of having it give off light, and by taking the flowers and light bulb putting them together which normally never go together. My thought on my artwork is ehhh, it isn't exactly how I pictured it but it isn't terrible. I wish that the colors in my background blended together better and maybe even choosing different color scheme to use instead. Maybe making my light bulb bigger and the flowers inside as well.

Recontextulization is when you take something and give it new meaning. I used juxtapostion because you don't see flowers in a light bulb, and recontextulization by giving the light bulb a new meaning, it's not giving off light like normal. At first I was planning on using text and image and I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Ideas for a pervious artworks were still in my sketch-book and I saw the design for the artwork I am drawing now. My plan is painting a plain background and then laying down the cut-out of the light bulb with flowers in it. I drew the flowers inside of the light bulb and colored only the flowers. Two studio habits of mind I used were "understand art worlds" and "express". I used understand art worlds by looking at different artist and how they used the postmodern principles so I would get ideas on what to do for my artwork. I used express by learning the postmodern principles and figuring out how to use them and which one I want to work with. I had to get different ideas.
4/14/2021 0 Comments 4/14/21 postmodern principlesI am planning on working with Text and Image and also Juxtapostion. I choose these because I found some ideas that I like and they could work separtely or together. Text and Image can have a lot of meaning behind it and bring awarness or make people think about it and realize that it happens to people they don't think it would happen to or to more people then what they think. Juxtapostion would be good because you're bringing things together that isn't normally together so people stop and think about that why and get to a deeper meaning.
4/12/2021 0 Comments 4/12/21 PrintmakingTwo studio habits of mind that I used were stretch and explore and then develop craft. Stretch and explore I used by if I messed up carving I just work with it because you can't go back and fix it or just do something over it. In this way you work with the mistake and take it and keep going. Then now while you keep carving you know what NOT to do. I used develop craft by learning the tools and materials I am working with, since this was my first time using these tools and materials. This artform is different then most, we aren't drawing or painting like most people think of when they think of art so I like this just because it's different and fun to do. I choose to do the soft-cut because I never done it before and it seemed like a fun thing to do with different designs. I drew out a lot of different designs and chose the mountains and sun. You trace it onto the block and carve the grey empty space out. Then trial and error to see if there is any carving places you missed, once you get it to a spot you like then make the print four different times to make a series. The struggle I has was getting all the extra grey off so it wouldn't be on the final print, and getting all the fine lines. I like how it turned out and the design I chose, no one really had the same as mine which I like.
