My Art Portfolio: |
I started this project with confidence and a positive attitude. I knew I would have my ups and downs but, I tried to have a great outlook on the piece. I started with asking myself, how do I want to represent myself in this project. I was worried though that it wouldn't come together in the end and it would look like a mess.

In the real anatomy of technology project we were asked to connect technology and the human body together. In the beginning I wasn't so sure what I wanted to do and I had troubles looking for something that I could come up with on my own. I wanted something original but nothing like what everyone else has done in the past. I chose an apple watch because I have my own and it really does come in handy when I don't want to look at my phone. I haven't heard or seen the Apple watch being done before so I thought it was a good idea. Although I did question myself half way through the project if it was going to be good enough or not. Instead of apps on the apple watch I put organs in the bubbles instead. Things like the heart, brain, thyroid, esophagus,both lungs, stomach, liver, and large intestine. I added veins to represent how the drip bag works and what part of the body the needle does into. I also added a heart rate monitor to actually just add more background. My inspiration came from my grandma who always tells me that technology is nothing to her. She said that everything is too high tech these days that she doesn't even know how to work her phone anymore. I tried explaining my apple watch to my grandmother but, she really didn't understand how it worked. Nowadays everyone has higher tech things like phones and apple watches, even 6th graders have them! My grandma tried explaining how things worked in her day and she didn't even get a tv in her house until she was 12. Technology has taken over the world today. Technology is used for so many things now. Like less people are dying because we have higher tech, and people's problems are getting solved faster. If it wasn't for the technology we have these days we wouldn't have any school because of covid-19. So yes there's some upsides and downsides to having better technology, either way I think it's a good thing that we have technology.

Value of words: |
I started this project knowing what exactly what I wanted to do. I love to dance ive been dancing for 13 years. I wanted to add my two favorite moves a leg hold and a tilt jump. I first started with some sketches of my two dancers and me as a dancer knew how the form would look like for them. I was a little concerned what I wanted to for the background so I just went with a basic checkered background. Then next I thought about what the words and outlines would be. Im a very dedicated dancer so I chose strength, work hard, follow your heart, flexibility, and power. These are characteristics that you need to be a good dancer. Dance takes a lot of practicing and working hard just like any other sport. The difference between dance and any other sport is that dance isnt only a sport its also an art. Thats why I decided to to my project on dance.
While the use of words and phrases on a piece of art can have diffrent effects, they are also not necessary. Many artists, for instance, choose to leave the interpretation up to the viewer. Other artists, on the other hand, may want the public to perceive their art in a specific way, therefore enforcing the use of certain techniques, such as adding in these types of descriptions. This can also give an entire new purpose to the meaning and message of the artwork, therefore making this type of art to be very beneficial and intriguing. Awareness in artThis project I really did struggle more with then all my other ones. I felt like I didn't get enough time and I couldn't think of any ideas on what my project should be on. This is a project about awareness and how much the world can be changed. I really couldn't think of any problems in the world though, and I didnt want to do something basic like bullying or politics. Finally I was talking to my mom one day and she suggested I should do my project on lack of healthcare. I understood where she was coming from because she works at a hospital. I agreed with her and decided that my project was going to be on Healthcare.
Now I also struggled on what I was going to draw and how I was going to represent it. I also had to remember I had a limited time to get it done because it took me so long to think about what my project was going to be on. This time I went with the more basic look and started to sketch some protesters holding up signs. Yes I know this was on the more boring side but, I'm happy with the outcome of my project. Yes this project took some time of thinking but in the end i'm happy about what I chose. A lot of people aren't able to afford healthcare and insurance so they struggle. And the ones with kids really struggle, a poor little one could be really sick but the doctors can't do anything about it because the parents can't afford it. I think that Healthcare is a human right and should be more heard around the world. |
