I would not say this is a process drawing but more of a collage. I decide to do a college but I believe I would of seen my results better in the process I choose to do. I decide to smoke marijuana and after do a collage. I want to see what ideas or how to outcome of the collage would look. Am I my artistic when my mind is under the influence of a drug, do I perform better or would I fail. 

Cooking up a Story

The name of my dish is Ground food with salt fish. I choose this this because it is a common dish is my country Trinidad. It's not real a family recipe but it is very easy to make.

You can put as you want, my choice

2 potato

1 sweet potato

2 green fig 

2 yam

haft of green/red pepper 

haft tomato

half onion( if you eat it)

pack of salt fish

1 cassava

1 dasheen

First put the salt fish in a put of water to boil. Let is boil for 20mins.

After it's finish throw the water out, be careful it's hot!!!

Then let it sit in the put of 5mins

Then take all your ground food and put it in a big iron pot to boil. Let it boil for 30-40mins. During the time you have to keep checking on it.

After your ground food is finish boil, take it out and put it in a pan, be careful it might fall back in the pot and splash the hot water.

After chop up your green/red pepper, your tomato and onion if your eat it, really small and put it into a bowl.

Then after your salt fish has cooled break it up into small pieces and mix the chopped green/red pepper, tomato and onion all together. Add some vegetable oil and put it in the refrigerator 

When ready to eat take the skin off your ground food and eat with the selfish.

Class #6 Followup

1. Yves Klein's blue cocktail relates to the metaphoric nature of food to transmit ideas because the blue cocktails are a representative of the artist work. The food become the art in the empty gallery.

2. Andy Warhol's Cambell's soup piece say that the WWII America's relationship to food  has become  unhealthy. It's show how lazy the society in the 60's was becoming. It also showed how we we're evolve into a more advance time that we would no longer have to do agriculture or cooking.

3. It is a political act because the words breaking you own bread is a metaphor of having your own. Example being able to cook your own food and not eat something that was made out of a factory.

4. Da Vinci's Last Supper, is a table of Jesus and his 12 disciples which shows religion. Also everyone at the table are not equal in power and they are all men. In the Dinner Party by Chicago's shows equal ness, how every women how did some importance throughout history.

5. It takes advantage of social aspect of meal-sharing to generate ideas and discussion by people being able to engage and interact with other. In a gallery the art is place there for you observer , Tiravanija's Theaster Gates give you a closer relationship with the artist and the art in this case is food.

Class #3 Followup Part B

  

This is a photo of  me when I had cut all my hair of. I not really embarrasses of the image but more surprise of what I did. When I first shave my head, I went to school, everyone thought I was crazy. Even I thought I was crazy for a moment. I could not believe what I had done. Grow up my mother also told me that my hair was my beauty so after I had shave my head I felt like a had loss a lot of me beauty. But I did feel that way for very long after three week of shaving my head I die it green (my favorite color ) which was even more worst. Now today shaved head with color is the way to go. Most girls are shaving their head and rocking their bold head with confidence.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art- Bulul

1. The Rice Deity ( Bulul)  Ifugiao people, northern Luzon Island Philippines. It was made in the 19th-early 20th century. It's made out of wood.
2. The artist is bearing witness to the Ifugiao people and the beliefs. The people would consecrate  wood images also called Bulul, and placed in the family granaries to protect the crop from natural and supernatural enemies.
3. The artist communicated this story by make the wood image stoop while folding its hands which indicates protection.
4. I do not know how this wood sculpture was made but I will assume it was carefully done but hands and also with some tools.
5. The materials and manner in which the artist use to tell his/her story with the wood sculpture help because it show how traditional the Ifugiao people were and what they believe in.
6. I choose this wood sculpture because I like how the artist position the the piece, how it just sit ther with its arms folding.

Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Mati

The Mati, Dogon Peopeles does not have any information about the artist. The medium for the sculpture are wood and metal. It was crafted in the 16th-17th century.
2. This sculpture is bearing witness to the roles male and female partners as a unit of life. How they are a reflection of each other with delicate and subtle departures that indicate their distinct identities.
3. The artist communicate this story visually by the scale and complexity. The bodies have parallel vertical lines traversed by horizontals that draw them together.
4. The sculpture dose not have information about how it was made only what it was made from which are wood and metal.
5. The materials or manner the artist applied help tells his/her story visually we'll because of the man and women. It's about the nurturer and the provider joined together to procreate and sustain life.
6. Other thoughts I have about this sculpture is that I like how the artist made their bodies more structurally and not life like.

Metropolitan Museum of Art - Winter

  

1. The Winter or LA FILEUSE  was sculptured by Jean-Antoine Houdon. The medium for the sculptured is bronze. It was sculpted in 1787.

3. The artist communicate this story visually by sculpturing a women standing with a scant coving her head and body. Also her hands are wrapped around her indicating that she is cold or caught a chill.
4. The sculpture was massively cast in one picec by the lost-wax process and delicately tooled.
5. The materials or manner the artist applied help visualize the story he was try to teel. It made the viewers understand the sculpture more.
6. Other thought I have about the sculpture is I would to know why the artist choose a female to represent the season winter. Is it because they said women are so cold heart, just joking.
