DIRECTOR'S GALLERY: NAVIGARE NELL'ARTE E NELLA STORIA DI ROMA

 Portrait of Antonia Carvova, 1799

Simon Bolivar, 1950

The Doubt, 1907-1908

1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?

The gallery that I selected had a very limited number of self portraits, but I just felt like these portraits were unique and had an inner-meaning. Not only were they physically appealing, there was a message behind them.
 
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
I used my friends' graphic pencil. I'm really terrible at painting, charcoal, and just about everything else. I felt like I could put out the best product this way.
 
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?

Well, I'm really terrible at art, so it was a challenge in general. It probably took me 6 or 7 sketches to get this – and it's still not that good. 
 
4. How does this piece represent you?

This piece represents me by showing my love for beer and baseball tees. I'm pretty simple, this piece describes me as just that, simple.
 
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
I used value a lot in this piece.
 
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?

It was a little stressful. I just wish I was better at drawing, but I'm just not. 
 
7. What do you think of your final artwork?
I think it's pretty rough, but I'm actually impressed with myself. It's the best artwork I've ever done.
 

Reflection

I thought this project was fun. I had to do a similar project in another class, but this allowed me to really search long and hard for great sports artwork and organize it into an exhibition. I liked this project!

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.


Lowbro- I've never even heard of this until watching the video, for what I gathered, it seems to be a concept made for people who don't take art seriously.

2. Do the videos relate to the creation of your Art Exhibition project? If yes, explain how. If no, explain why not.
Not really, my project didn't really require much deep thought. I think the theme was pretty self explanatory.
3. What is your opinion of the films? Do they add depth to understanding of the art concepts you practiced while creating your curation project?

The films developed a farther depth of understanding about curation. A lot of it I've never learned before.
