Skype with Jason Hacket
Questions:
- What do the religious figures have to do with the art pieces?
- Did you make the plates you altered?
- Why do you use body parts in your pieces? especially feet?
- In the ArtAxis site, what does the half dog half human plaque mean?
- Do you have an infatuation with feet?
Observations:
- You use a lot of religious symbols that are altered
- There are a lot of plates and feet used in your art
- The statues look antique and have been with you for awhile
- You think deep into what your message is in each piece
- You constantly cover people's faces or parts of their bodies
Reflection on Skype with Tim Roda
It was very informative to get to participate in a Skype conversation with Tim and get to have a one on one with someone who is in a different state. He had great advice on how to reach your inner artist. It was nice to know that someone who has had so much experience can relate to beginner artists like the students in our class. I like how much he involves his family, including his sons, in his photography.
Skype with Tim Roda
Questions:
- Why do you use kids in your art?
- Are those boys your sons?
- Do you put emphasis on the shadows?
- Are these photos taken at the actual locations mentioned?
- Do you just concentrate on photography, or do you have sculptures or paintings?
Observations:
- You are a very family oriented guy
- Your face/body mashups are very interesting
- All of your photographs have a similar layout
- You take a lot of photos in New York
- Your son looks exactly like you
Caption The Image
The picture
includes hundreds of thousands of products that appear to be in a grocery
store. The aisles are packed full of various goods that range from vitamins to
soda. Also, there are two individuals shopping present on the third aisle on
the far right hand side. The people pictured appear to be a male and female,
the man’s body is cut off at the right and the woman is wearing an orange cap.
There is an array of colors that make the picture seem cluttered even though
grocery stores are very neat. This image makes us feel confused and stressed
because the aisles are very jumbled. We can identify with the people in the
photo because they are the only items not for sale. Since the people are facing
the opposite direction, we are unsure of their emotional state. Right before
this photo was taken we feel that that the people walked into the doors of the
store to browse the aisles and buy necessary items for their home. The
employees of the store had stocked the shelves before their arrival. We feel
that the shoppers will continue shopping, checkout and go home. The photograph
is trying to depict consumers lost in a sea of advertisements and products.
Color Assignment I
Color: Mint Green
Out of all the colors I would have to say that Mint Green is my absolute favorite. This is the only color, that I am aware of, that is very soothing. Mint Green always reminds me of the beach and whenever I think of the beach it can always calm me down.
Questions:
- Do you like nature?
- What motivated you to make the foot with the tongue as the heal?
- Do you have a room/studio of your art? If yes, where?
- Did you shape those penguins by hand?
- Did the swan's head come off while constructing it or is it purposefully made that way
Observations
- The colors of the erosion from the rainstorm are really neat, it is a perminant sun beaming on the rain water.
- The black and gold swan looks depressed.
- Through your art, it seems like you enjoy the natural way of life.
- You take quite a few pictures of moving objects.
- The penguins look like they are the size of an average person's hand.
Elements of Art Project Observations:
Erin Brockman, Connor Zazzo and Orlando Rivera
- We liked how you chose the beads for HARMONY because although the shape of all of the beads are the same they are very colorful and go together well
Frank Calo and Stevie Ruzich
- Your UNITY photograph is very unique.
Elizabeth Cox, Spencer Haberman and Berkley Whaley:
- Good job taking a picture of our Visual Literacy textbook, nice use of resources!
Andrea Diaz, Wendy French and Jennifer McElroy:
- Your VARIETY photograph strongly displays this word correctly.
Megan Kiley, Kofi and Elizabeth Lynch:
- We thought your display of UNITY was very cute and we were wondering how you got to take a picture of a group of ducks without them scattering.
Jeslin Ritz, Morgan Rudd and Alex Medvedev
- Your photo or the carpet represents HARMONY very well.
Michael Womack, Tara O'Connor and Michael Ciluffo
- We liked how you all used the flags for COLOR because, unlike everyone else, you had a multiple amount of colors instead of just one solid color.
