In this Lecturer we were really fortunate to have 3 male artists come in and present there work to us as a class ,Dion Hitchens(sculpture), Bill Riley(painter) and James Ormsby(drawer) .They are a team which share there work together in some exhibitions held for exhibitors and viewers of the public to view and be captured by there projects . The first thing that captured my attention is when James showed us this code Z=Z2+C thats suppose to relate to there work. I found the code really interesting, so i took the time to find more about it online, it ended up taking me to more codes which just got me confused and frustrated and was hard for me to understand but what James mentioned was that its got to do with caios which reflects to each of these artist and there projects. The second thing i found interesting is how they don't like to stay to just one particular style of art individually , they like to change up there ideas even if they have to share ideas. I like that because it shows team work and good potential attribute to there career . This blog really got me thinking that it would be a great adventure an idea to work as a goup with different people that have different expertise in art than me so i can learn and find more ideas to help me claim a new style to upgrade my art skills , though i know there will be down sides like having different opinions on something and viewing an aspect differently which can cause drama. Hitchens said that James work reflects to his work but in the images i've seen , they are completely different. I think maybe its more to do with Dions work and how he uses installation using copper wire and a sound track. I also found that Bily Rileys work was more fascinating beacause it was all made by hand with the help of students at schools, 1200 paper oragami's were made and surprisingly none of them got squashed at the exhibitions. I also liked his recycled cardboards he used that were stacked all up, i think over 4000 cardboard was painted to perform this art-piece and thats not including the unpainted ones. i liked how he let the viewers touch his projects and let them interact with his work so that the sculpture could be seen as it was last tampered with.
Cheers Joey,
ReplyDeleteA good response and obviously you were paying attention in class! But it would be great if you could take it further with some extra research - any tangent that takes you further - I know you tried with the mathematical equation - but some background on chaos theory and what it means could be good. It's quite trippy and worth a look.

Hi Joey,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you read my comment because I wasn't talking about your being late or anything... maybe you read it too fast?
