Art connected to class.




`The artist i chose for this blog is Markus Lerner. He does digital works, And installations. The 2nd and 3rd  pictures above are just two of many from his installation, Fairytale.  In this installation he uses these warm colored bubbles and white swirls to show how an object radiates light when they hit a bigger object. He calls the idea "A visualized dream of energy", And that is exactly how it makes me feel.  The warm red and coral speres fill me up with a cozy warm energy, And the light that bounces around them gets me excited as if i can feel this power inside of me, And i can picture all the bubbles floating around and almost going crazy with excitement, And i can see and feel it burst all around me. I love his choice in color, It goes along with the last work i had put up of his (The top picture, Sorry, It won't upload to any where up on top), Reactive Sparks.  I really love Lerner's work, I can feel all the worth it radiates out to me, It's like happiness.

Interpretaions At The Walker

The piece i chose from the Walker is Sixteen Teen Jackies by Andy Warhol. Warhal was infamous for silk screens which is how this pieces was done. It's shows four images of Jackie Kennedy, repeated four times. The 1st picture is when Jackie got off the plane, the day of her husband's death, The next is Lyndon B. Johnson's swearing in, Her at the capitol after the ordeal, And her smiling to the crowd in the limousine during the parade.
To me this shows one of our greatest 1st ladies' pure pain and sadness. These images of her were plastered all over magazines, On TV screens, in the papers, They're something this country will never for get, Exceptionally those who alive at that time. These pictures were something they saw everyday for weeks, completely burned into their minds. It's shows us the raw shock of Jackie's loss, Loosing her husband, Being sprayed this is blood, brains, and skull. The pictures of Jackies he chose really portrays his way with death. Any Worhol also loved the American stars and celebrities, And how mass media showed them, and their lives. i think on top of that, for people who know other facts about these images, it's even more sad and disturbing. In the second picture of Jackie that shows her still completely stunned during Johnson's swearing in, She's still wearing the dress from the parade. For those who watched the ceremony for Johnson on their TV screens when they did a close in on Jackie, they had 2 quickly back of the camera and change it because she still had all the blood and body manner on her dress. It really makes me feel sick and sad to see these pictures of her, And the last one makes is worse to see
