Art 3 Final-Cesar Cortes

Throughlines
1. They can be huge factors of influence and openess. They can so because many artists can be mediums of showing society relevent current events and topics. So in a sense they can be like news outlets but instead of speaking on tv or writing an article they paint a picture of make a sculpture and still project they main idea as the other two outlets.

4. Sustainability is being able to persist and maintain one self or in this case our shelters without intteruption. Its connected to the idea of shelter because a shelter ins something of a set thing or atleast should be. So in order to have a goo hlter it should be sustainable to the enviroment in all its forms.

Understanding goals
1.Site specific art is art that has been made at a particular spot and on purpose. Installation art is art that usualy that has depth or a sculpture and is set to certain location, usualy some where out of the ordinary. And coceptual art is art that had a cetain concept or ideal behind it obvious or not.

2. It relates tremendously because we as a citizen, as a human being of society is to know whats going on in the world.. And being an artist can help with that alot by showing the world by doing/saying/making art , and that communicates to the rest of the world, and that is the responsibility.

3. The first thing to do is to get ideas and influences in order to start preliminary stages of such a project. depending upon your concept/idea/influences your shelter is going to vary in many ways. After doing so you start to get supplies depending on the enviroment your building the shelter on. You may write words or manipulate shapes and lines to further more convey your certain concept. There are endless variations to convey ideas in shelters.

4.There are tons of materials that can be reused to build shelters. Those same materials can be in good conditions and double as aesthetically pretty. All over cities and towns you may find tools and supplies that can recycled to use for shelters..

5. A shelter is a place that to live in plain and simple. To not have a shelter means to not have anything to live in. A shelter is better than no shelter, and its all love.

6. Most people have a home/shelter and in ok condtions. But theres is a huge chunk of the society that dont have home, live under oppression, and have no set income. we have it great in the US. Mny people in the world would be gratefull to just have half the shit we have

7. It impacts artists HUUUUUGE! Because many artists work behind all those influnences. How you grow up shapes your future and how you grow up can also shape your artwork. the influences and concepts behind art are going to vary alot when it come to the oppsite sides of the spectrum on influences/topics such as socioeconomic, cultural,geographic,environment, religious,political, and family. Depending upon on which side of the spectrum your on your concepts/beliefs/ideals are all going to differ as your artwork will too.

Challenge Post-WHS

Throughout the whole building process problems arose based on misscommunication or conflicting ideas on how to build the instalation. some people wanted it certain way while others wanted it another. To work around it we had to be more open towards others ideas and such, or had mixed ideas to create an all new idea. By doing so we worked more better and more flow which resulted in a better all around installation. It may sound corny but working as a team with a clear path on what to do is most flowing and succesfull way to work.

shelter reflection 2

the main thing i learned and can utilize is how many of the artists we learned about used metaphorical messages throughout their art. Alot of the artists had a specific reason why and how they did there art that certain way and also in a sense many of the pieces made you think.

Ive always seen artists engage in current events and global topics by using art as a medium. But the topic being shelter itself was something new. Shelter is a very complex topic that go into very interesting art.

artists have always in my opinion have had alot of inovating ideas that are completely new to art, and bring new ideas and concepts. This project just opened up my world a bit more.

basicaly all the artists used the concept shelter as the idea behind there work especialy in metaphorical ways. The girl who does the instalations and furniture is dope. As well as our huy krztof who that does the shelter homes that move like carts. There all just so ill!
