Reflection - Walter Sidor
Going into work on this module I was set that I was going to do my project on classic art style, most likely abstract. But watching the videos for this modules video blog I was really impressed with the Tate Modern museum. The way they had created that museum with all modern art in that big huge space was really cool. It was the look on the spectators at the museum that I liked the most. In the videos we've seen this semester the spectators normally had serious looks on their face seemingly deep in thought. The people at the Tate had smiles on their faces, had looks of wonder and amazement. To me that is art that is interesting.
While I like the Tate's modern art I wanted to pick something that grew up during my lifetime but still had similarity to the modern era. In the first video it covered what they called lowbrow art, the comic themes they covered, the bright colors and crazy shapes and formations were something I also really liked so I wanted to do something that worked for both. I picked pop art because it has similarities with both.
I struggled a little finding artist who fit this them while looking through Artsor alone. But the hunt was fulfilling in the fact that I got to peruse so many works to find what pleased me. To be quite honest, I have a busy life and art is not really a part of it. After this class I probably won't go out of my way to see do what I did for this project which makes the time spent even more fulfilling.
