Asm2o Collage Self Reflection Report

For this project, I chose the Tampa Museum of Art. My daughter Annabelle, who is eleven, accompanied me. She is an aspiring young artist who loves to paint and assemble collages. This paper will describe our trip, the museum’s activities, and what was on exhibit. After which, I will choose two works of art and preform an analysis on them. I will employ the formal elements and the principles of design to engage the first piece, “The Great Journey”. With my second choice “A Group of Cubans who left Manzanillo are Rescued at Sea”, I will discuss how applying an alternative contextual analysis would help in understanding the meaning behind the painting more.

Before I was accepted to this University back in 2012, my school took us on a trip to visit the school. When we arrived on the bus I was so excited. When I stepped off the bus, I knew that this school was made for me. The way the school looked to the way they operated fit me. The operation of the school is very easy to learn and easy to adapt to. The operation included easy access to counselors for first year students as well as transfer students. This is very helpful for the students who are new to school and do not have anyone to show them around, like I did not. I also loved the way they had Freshman’s in particular dorms

The pencil liberates my stresses and sorrows. Bare and unimpeded, my mind is able to isolate itself from anything that was happening in my life. At my art table, which is merely an escape from reality, my curiosity is able to wander. Within this room, five blank canvas's look in on me as I become a mold of my imagination. A step inside my world develops into a sea of color and exploration. The vibrancy of the walls resonates throughout. Over the years, my room has served as my oasis. It’s my escape from monotonous and mundane routines. It’s my exploration of another side of me. I observe such works of art almost as much as I create. Taking notice of my classmates’ innovations and inspired by their creativity, my paintbrush begins to alleviate stress. I strive to produce pieces others will appreciate, but often find myself to be the true admirer. My pride, in this world, is driven simply by my own curiosity to express myself. I credit this side of me as the “passion” that supplements my insane drive for success. This passion has sparked critical thinking in me as well as how I see failure. Life is a blank canvas and you can truly draw whatever you want, and if you fail, you start over and don’t make that same mistake again! Hard work takes ideas quite far, but true success is derived from ingenuity and the generation of

Feeling a bit uninspired? Yeah, I know the feeling. But I also know the solution! It is five simple letters LACMA. That’s right, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is the perfect place to conjure your creative juices. LACMA is one of the premiere museums in Southern California, offering an array of paintings and sculptures ranging from Modern Art to German expressionism. There’s nothing better than spending a luxurious Sunday perusing the amazing art within the seven different buildings LACMA has to offer. This “tour de art” as we will call it, should only be broken up with a visit to the museum’s restaurant, Pentimento, which offers brunch every Sunday from 11-3pm. I know I’ve inspired you to get inspired but, what is more inspiring is that

For my first museum paper I went to OSV since it was my first and only choice of venue. I went to the Towne’s House since I was told I would be able to find what I was looking for. After struggling to find a painting that I could read the information on, I saw the various the paintings along some walls and ceilings.

Next is the community. Being a part of the Honors College would give me the opportunity to connect with a variety of people with different perspectives in a way that I couldn’t without this program. By living and learning with a such an assortment of

Here at Grand Rapids Community College everyone has something that they love about it. For example, l absolutely love that the campus is spread out and can walk anywhere downtown and can go to school right after. But there are a few things people would like to change. Some people would like to have walk ways with roofs

Looking back at my personal narrative, there is not anything I would change. All the assets I mentioned, I used in the the past three weeks. I am taking advantages of campus resources by getting various Calculous tutors. I recently advocated for myself, during the casting call for the fall play "Rent", so that I can have the best college experience.

I decided to visit the Longmont Museum and Cultural Center (Image 1). The URL for this museum is http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/museum/. My experience visiting this museum was very different from the other museums that I have visited more recently. It provided a great deal of interesting insight and topics for discussion for me to consider. My overall experience consists of the museum’s setting, any personal interactions that occurred, my analysis of my favorite work of art that I encountered, and my opinions on viewing art in person rather than through other material.

In my collage, there are images of the ocean, Greece, ancient buildings, woods, beautifully unique plants, monkeys and more images of the similar sort. Each are things I want to see, explore, photograph, write about, etc… So, this direction offered me some knowledge of what I want in the future and what I want to do for a living. The last part of the Medicine Wheel that we worked on was the Centre. We created a mandala and wrote about an ancestor. In our journal, we

I would greatly profit from and contribute to the diverse campus at NC State. Inspiration and great ideas are fostered by the sharing of different viewpoints and experiences. Each individual is born into this world with a unique set of characteristics. Throughout life we allow begin to form our own set of values and experiences. When faced with a problem each of us will solve it differently as we approach from a different angle. Some people will find a solution that is completely hidden from others. Only together do we form a complete picture of the issue.

Travel is a very important part of Jan’s life, especially when it comes to writing and illustrating her stories. She loves to “…study the traditions of the many countries I visit and use them as a starting point for my children’s books,” (Jan

My collage depicts the plot of the Pardoner’s Tale, while also showing the great road to Canterbury. I chose to put many of the pilgrims on the collage because it shows who the story was being reiterated to, rather than the story having no visible audience within the project. I put a map of the road to Canterbury into the collage because I think it is a good representation of the distance travelled by many pilgrims and why they told stories to each other. Finally, I decorated it with gold coins because it portrays the main theme that money is the root of all evil. The darker coins symbolize that money can be used for a good purpose, such as in the story of the good Samaritan. The lighter coins with the skulls on them symbolize that, although

6. What kind of impact do you hope to have on your college campus and during your college experience? Why?

My project here is being ran through Art Center's graphic design program. Our trip is entitled Underground Berlin, where we are exploring the underground scene. Our first week here was possibly one of the most exciting weeks I've ever had. Our professor's divided the city into five sectors and gave us five days to explore the city. This allowed my group (Duy Dao, Seth O'hara, Yeun Kim, and I) to explore and get to know the city for what it actually is and not look at it as tourist. During this time I took the opportunity to start photographing the architecture, environment, people, and street art. I've started to post some of the work in progress, feel free to take a look at it when you get a chance. (http://www.joshuemolina.com/berlin)
