Class #5 FollowUp/ HW


     13 categories of content for this art object "Map of The World" Alighiero Boetti

1. This Art is representational in the form of showing the world atlas as their own individual flags from each country. Something that people do not really know or sometimes not even think about. 
2. the title "Map of the World" lets the public know that this is not just going to focus on one place is going to be multiple places. Multiple flags, the world to be exact. 
3. genre will be the differences in flags. 
4. Using Fabric, I thought really brought even more of a uniqueness to the art work, at first your eyes deceive you thinking is work on canvas, but it really is colored fabric all over the peice.
5. Its a very big piece of art on purpose, so it can all be seen. All the flags and all the locations. 
6. I am not really sure on the temporal duration of the artwork. 
7. context of the work is the letters around the frame of the artwork. 
8. Art history, this artwork will have to be a very cultural time. 
10. Not really sure on the iconographic tradition of this artwork 
11. the formal properties of the work will be the frame of it. 
12. there is no attitudinal gestures to this artwork. 
13. the physiological response is a very positive one, your impressed that someone did the world atlas, not only of the world but of each individual flag into the country. Really a positive response, mind blowing in a way. 



Janine Antoni Video 
a. Describe the process of Antoni's rope-making piece, Moor (2001), that is discussed at length in the video. What is this piece about?
The rope making piece is describing the things in her life that is connected all in one. Each color and piece of work means something in the rope. Some of her friends put their own kind of rope in each. The pieces of rope have different sections as well, for example she has a section of "grandmothers."

b. The process of rope-tying that she learned is very different from the process of action painting.How is this method particularly appropriate to the meaning that she wants to get across?
The meaning she wants to get across is the method of how the object actually got there, how sometimes we forget how the objects feel or comes about. So she wanted to break apart the rope and slowly bring it all back together. 

c. Do you think a person completely ignorant of Antoni's work, someone with no verbal information to assist them, would understand the meaning of Moor ? What would they get? What would they miss?
Someone with no verbal information on Antoni's "Moor" art piece would no get this work. To anyone it is just rope, and color. But it is deeper than that, I think someone would miss the actual rope being different colors in different places, how thick or thin it is as well. I think one thing they would get is that each color represents something different in the art work, the person would not necessarily know the exact meaning but will be able to depict there is a difference.   


Think about skills that you know, that are important to your family, your traditions, or that you pride yourself in knowing. Describe in a paragraph-long blog post how you would adapt one of those skills to make an artwork that communicates something important about you, your family, your culture, or some important knowledge about yourself.
Something that is really important in my family is music. Music brings us all together, one of the many things we can always talk about or tune into when we're doing something as a family. Family reunions is something big for us to play music. I myself played the cornet/ Trumpet for 3 years, music is a part of my life. If i were to make a piece of Art work, I believe I would make a sculpture of different pieces of instruments, in an upside down pyramid. The reason why I would choose for it to me that way is to represent life, my life in a way. You don't always start off with everything at hand, things slowly come to you as you get older. I would use trumpets, saxophone, microphones, drums, flutes, drumsticks, triangle, violin, keyboard, piano keys etc.
