Final Understanding Goals Reflection

WHITECAT510 Brett Barbero

THROUGHLINES

1. they can do what we did this year, have video chats, share information, current news and situations on a blog.

4.  When people think of art they usually think of painting but, artists today are very diversified in the media of their artwork. One can extend from modern painting and drawing to full scale housing, and or sculptures. This is a perfect example of pushing the limits to traditional art work.

UNDERSTANDING GOALS

1. Site-Specific art is the art that is intended to be built in a planed location, or for a specific reason. Installation art is the art that we did for the shelters. Conceptual art in my opinion is using and incorporating concepts into the art word.

2. Its almost like artists have their own duties and responsibilities as artists to produce and distribute art to there respective communities. Because art is a major part of expressing feelings and opinions.

3.  To create a site specific installation that communicates/conveys ideas about the concept of shelter, is anything that you feel completely comfotable and safe being in. Thats my definition of a shelter. We can relate ideas from real houses and or buildings everywhere in order for us to create our concepts.

4. We can relate this project from using recylced materials to create our shelters, like real life situations where these people have nothing to work with and have to scavenger around finding whatever they need to stay warm and safe. Our shelter was aesthetically pleasing because of its outside appearence. But on the inside it was uncomfortable because we focused mainly on the aesthetic appearance.

5. To have a shelter, it means everything for the most part. Because if you have a shelter, things are less stressfull, you are comfortable, relaxed, and your mind can think about other things other then a place to sleep at night.

6. Truthfully, nobody can answer this unless you have been and lived in every different country and city on the planet. Because condidtions are completley different everywhere and so are people.

Refelction 1-Context Brett Barbero

1. One thing i have never noticed in Elkin’s class was the numerous rows of lights on the classroom ceiling.

2. I believe the context of our area in Fremont is a lot different then the area in East Oakland and in India, because of the environmental problems and heat

3. My context affects my art work because its very laid back and i can do relaxed work
