Throughlines:
1.An artist can be a part of global conversations about relevant topics and issues by creating his art based on the community that he lives in. Then he can take his art and put it on the internet so everyone in the world can see it and relate to it personally. By doing this an artist can not only portray himself, but all the other around him with the art.
4.Sustainability is how well something can be by itself and still work. It is important as it relates to the shelter project because the shelter has to be sustainable by itself in order to be a shelter. In other words the shelter has to be able to hold itself up in order to work correctly.
Understanding Goals:
1.Site Specific is art about a specific place.
Installation art has to do with more than 3 dimensions. So 3-D art.
Conceptual art is art that has to do with
2.What you do any say as an artist relates directly to the community that you live in, and for that the artist has a responsibility as a citizen towards his art.
3.You can plan to create a three-dimensional site specific installation of a shelter by making more than one shelter. In our class we had blueprints and then we gathered materials after we did both of these then we created our final shelter project.
4.You can use recycled material to create an aesthetically pleasing artwork that can also be a shelter, because first you build a shelter out of recycled material. Then after you have the shelter build you can paint it or add some sort of beauty to it and then it becomes a work of art.
5.When you have a shelter it means that have a place you can call home, and that for most people is a symbol of accomplishment no matter how crude the shelter is. Then when you add beauty to the shelter it becomes a work of art.
6.In most of the world people live in a house with more than one person. Most houses are pretty big, and our shelter is small in comparison to the size of most houses that people actually live in.
7.As an artist there are many things that have a significant influence on the kind of work that is produced by that artist. Some of these things include Socioeconomic/cultural/geographic/environmental/religion/politics/ and families. These things influence an artist directly in his everyday life, and this can cause dramatic change in all the work produced by that artist.
