Introduction


 - Greetings and Salutations, my name is Jack Morgan, I am a Senior at St Xavier University, I am part of the Esports team, I am majoring in Graphic Design and a minor in Game Design, and I am a hard worker, as I always try to get work done as soon as possible.

- My major is graphic design and my minor is game design, I chose these because I wanted to use different forms of art, how it’s made, and how I can make some pieces inspired by different artist, whether it be from drawing, Adobe Illustrated, etc. In terms of a game design minor, I always wanted to see what people use to create a game, in terms of programming, concepts, and how it would operate as well.

- I signed up for this course because it was one of my requirements for my major, plus I wanted to learn about more different artists since I’ve learned about different artists in Modern and Contemporary Art in the past as well, I always want to learn more about different artists.

- In terms of my experience with art, I often like to view art and see if there’s any significance behind said artwork as well, I also like to analyze how the art is made as well, whether it be a painting, a drawing, or even in virtual reality, every work of art needs to tell a story.

- In terms of paintings, I always like to view different artists, how it’s made, who made said painting, etc. I’ve used paint in one of my other classes throughout my other semesters, but never took an actual painting class. As I said, I prefer to look at paintings rather than making paintings. In terms of my favorite artwork, I’m really a fan of people like Andy Warhol and Takashi Murakami, using very high and vibrant colors to their artwork, and how creative their mindsets can be when it comes to making their artwork, like taking inspiration from celebrities for Warhol, and inspiration from anime like Murakami.

- Besides watching videos about different artists in Modern and Contemporary Art class, I never got around to watching actual paint documentaries on my off-time, hopefully after this class, I’ll get around to watching more documentaries like the ones we’ll watch in this classs.

Lesson 6: Film 3- Painters Painting

  1. This introduction explains American painting's issue with subject matter….. What does this mean to you? Use examples from the intro. - In the beginning of the film, it tells that subject matter kept getting entangled in different ideas i America when it comes to making art, it was also focusing towards self portraits as well, in terms of what this means to me, I always feel like the subject matter when it comes to art it can be either expressive or it can tell a story when it comes to said work of art and sometimes they will not go according to plan, the film stated, they tried to find garden landscapes of a garden that they were destroying as fast as they could paint them. 2. Explain why Raushenberg insisted that he erase a piece by Willem de Kooning for his masterpiece  Erased de Kooning. - Rauschenberg insisted that he erased a piece by Willem de Kooning because Robert always respected de Kooning, there was no question that a drawing of his would even be considered a t...

Lesson 7: Warhol - PBS

 1.  What are the three most interesting stories in this film? Do you like Warhol more or less now? Is Warhol avante garde?  What do you think is Warhol's strangest piece? Why? - While watching the film, the three stories that were interesting was the beginning of Andy’s life of how he wanted to be a top artist, the struggles he went through throughout his personal life, and dealing with art directors, finding the image that would speak to him more. In terms of Andy, he is very Avant Garde, he started doing silk screen art and combining popular figures as well. As a whole, I still like his background as an artist as a whole and the work he makes, like the Shot Marilyns, the Campbell soup cans, and his self portraits. In my opinion, Warhol’s strangest piece of art he made was Big Electric Chair, majority of the piece is purple while a little bit of it was, instead of focusing it one one color or colors that would make it look like an electric chair. 2. What do we learn fro...
