Goals and Philosophy:
Visual Merchandisers have many employment options available in many different sectors. I believe that displays are all encompassing. It is the little details that culminate a theme or feel that makes customers want to shop at a particular store and have a certain type of experience depending on who they are. It is all about making an environment whether a store, a party, a home, etc. as inviting and welcoming as possible. I strongly believe that there is so much inspiration out there that can be used to create compelling store displays that provoke consumers to shop and help maximize a store’s profits. This is an interesting field where not only are artistic skills necessary, but also the ability to merchandise the sales floor and make every visual aspect of a store experience enjoyable.
My art is inspired by popular culture, the work of other artists in similar fields, and the work of surrealist artists. The prospect of being able to have a job that comprises of creativity and a unique perspective motivates me to pursue a career in art and design. I want to be able to have a job that I feel is rewarding and where each day is somewhat different from the next which is possible with visual merchandising because retail is always changing visually to keep up with trends and seasons.
In the short term I hope to get a visual merchandising internship or job where I can get more experience and use my skills that I have learned, in the retail environment. In
The combination of my vision, and personal style drives me to seek a career elated to brand representation, health and beauty/wellness advocacy, or fashion/brand marketing.
‘What I like so much about contemporary art now is its ambiguity, its uncertainty. It is precisely this quality that engages and unsettles us’ – Benjamin Genocchio, art critic.
In Elizabeth Bishop’s poem, One Art, it displays the acceptance Bishop has for losing things. Each stanza the losses get more significant, until she finally displays the one thing she can’t accept losing. Elizabeth Bishop uses techniques such as verse form and repetition to display her feelings toward those losses.
“the characteristics, key events, and situations which compose the essentials of human existence, such as birth, growth, emotionality, aspirations, conflict, and mortality.” The diversity of the human condition can be thought of as the very broad topic which has been and continues to be pondered and analyzed from many perspectives, including those of religion, philosophy, history, art, literature, anthropology, psychology, and biology,” (Human Condition).

A graphic technology major makes products galore which is another reason I want to major in this! By using their creativity along with being hands on lets them create products a common person would not think of. I recently toured Sign Pro in Ames, Iowa. I was shown all of the different papers that are printed on along with signs they were making; which reminded me of the products I make with vinyl. When one of their workers showed me a design they were working on; so then, I recognised the software they used along with the effects used to make the image what it looked like. After visiting, I was excited for I wanted to work in a shop similar Sign Pro and start now. When I drove home, I realized how much I loved making products due to recognising types of signs used for advertisement that I could make.
My long term goal is to be able to work for an interior furnishing or décor company like Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware or Room and Board. I would like to do the set visuals for the catalog shoot. To achieve this I plan to work hard to make myself marketable and stand out in the industry. My next step to achieve my goal is to network with people within these companies, while still keeping my options open for other job prospects. After I graduate I hope to work within one of these companies as an assistant visual merchandiser and work my way up the ladder. By starting at the bottom you learn every job, the required tasks and the company’s structure. With this goal I intend to finish my degree, continue learning the craft and skills, networking and eventually working for one of these companies.
By the end of the Victorian age and the 19th century, a new critical movement headed by Oscar Wilde. The Aesthetical movement came as a reaction to prevailing utilitarian Victorian social philosophies. It argues that art and criticism as only cultivating the ennobling sensibility of beauty, therefore, art is superior to life and criticism is superior to art. However, this criticism is so much attacked and criticized.
What is the purpose and function of art? Art plays a large role in our everyday life. It has a heavy impact on our different cultures countries around the world. With the different countries there are different forms of art. These forms of art are some people lives. Some people enjoy art as a hobby; some make a living from art. It is just involved in so many of our daily lives. Art enhances our creativity. It also allows your curiosity explore. For the fact that art is so versatile everyone can learn, enjoy art for what it means to them.
Throughout this chapter it demonstrates the involvement and understanding of the seven principles of art. “The principal of art are the guidelines or the organizing factors in the visual arts that help artists to create designs and control how viewers likely react to art images and objects.” The topics that are included in this chapter are unity and variety; proportion; balance; emphasis; pattern and repetition; rhythm and movement. All of these topics demonstrates how they tie in with one another to create a piece of art.
“And the ones who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music”-Friedrich Nietzsche. This is something i follow because everyone is different and people are judged for being who they are. I believe that they should be free to do what they please because it is harming no one.With everyone being free and different we all have ways and things that define us. Any one should have to opportunity to define themselves anyway they would like just like what defines me is my hair, my art, and my love for animals. I have some stories that go well with the lesson at the end of each day. everything that I have listed that defines me is a part of me that I never want to lose.
The history of art dates back to ancient times. Artwork can be, and was, found around the world. What makes art interesting is that it can be created in any way, shape or form with any materials. It seems that the artwork can also tell us a lot about the artist. Art seems to be simply, a direct, visual reflection of the artist’s life. Therefore, one can assume that an artist’s life experiences and beliefs directly influence their art. If we look at examples from different periods of art we will be able to see the connection between the artist and the art.
The purpose of art and its felicity lies both in its aesthetic quality as well is the instructive capacity of art, wherein the various perspectives employed by artist 's help to understand the particular period in which the work was created and the influences that may have attributed to the final product. The early 19th century in Europe was marked by a desire to return to the classicism of the Greek and Roman empires as it connoted a sense of stability after the upheaval of the French revolution which had brought down existing social, political and economic structures to an end. The work ofJoseph Anton Koch, a German painter who chose to live in Rome and imbibe the traditions of the classicists shows in his work a clear attachment to the values of linear composition and idyllic subject matter and this is clearly apparent in his monumental workHeroic Landscape with Rainbow, now a part of the European gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York City.This work is an apt illustration of the manner in which the neoclassical tradition of landscape painting became an important part of the works of European painters of the early 19th century as a means of portraying the kind of society which people aspired to after the upheavals of the late 18th century.
Cubism was always an interpretation of objective reality, of a given motif. But Kandinsky was to initiate was by contrast essentially and deliberately non-objective. Kandinsky’s own experience was personal and even apocalyptic.
Art has been around for nearly as long as the world has been in existences, Art is a creative expression with a variety of styles and interpretations. Century after century art has evolved from culture to culture evolving with each epoch; it has been criticized along the way. People do not adjust well to change and art is no different, but once people get over the initial shock they start to appreciate the valve art brings to each culture’s. I can attest to the fact that there is nothing more difficult than attempting to get a handle on the understanding of specific portraits, sculptures or some piece of architecture or trying to comprehend the methods of making these stubbing images. But once the initial stun is gone and when we have all assimilated this bit of visual information to our own jargon we start slowly start to price together what the artist is trying to articulate. Artist tend to indicate us better approaches to see commonplace things and how to translate new circumstances and occasions through different sorts of visual apparition. Some call this a creation of visual language; I like most learn and make judgments off of what is visually catching and the artists are intending this to happen. Art has been an imperative part of every society and can be seen in just about every aspect of our culture. Over time history has unmistakably demonstrated that art is more than what is perceptible by the each individual’s senses; however it is likewise an impression of how
