Video: Making of 3D Art

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SNYtd0Ayt0

This video is one of, if not the coolest video I have seen concerning art. This shows 3D street art being made with a very cool effect done by the maker of the video. Whenever I see art, I always want to know how it was created and what steps were neccessary in creating the artwork, as well as what materials were needed. This video shows all this, which really amazed me. It was really interesting to see how these people created this amazing piece of public art out of the pathway.

Latte Art

My belief about art has always been that it can be created out of anything. This video is an example of how art can turn up anywhere, even in a persons coffee. My favorite that the person makes is the burtterfly, I think that it was the most creative and the colors of the latte make it look really cool

How My View of Art has Changed

Over this course, I have really undertaken an appreciation of art. Before I first went to the High Museum for the first time, I never thought about art that much. Like most people, I would walk by something, perhaps look at it for a few seconds, then continue on my way. Many times I failed to even notice the art present around me.

After making the trips to the High Museum, writing the visual analysis of the painting, and constructing the Visual Essay, I look at art a completely different way. Whenever I see some sort of creation around me, I now take time to admire and think about it. I consider how the artist created it, how much time it took, etc. Overall, I believe the work that I have done in this course has really changed my perspective on art, and has also made me a better student of art as well.

Car as Art Addition

Now only is the style of a car art, but its paint job is as well. Personally, I love seeing cars with custom paint jobs. They always make me look at the car for a longer period of time and make me admire it much more because of its individuality.

Cars as Art

Driving down the road, a brand new yellow Chevy Camaro passed me, which is one of my favorite cars. As I watched it pass by (instead of watching the road), I realized that every car has its own style, and that its style and look is a form of art. Every sports car is meant to look unique and different, like paintings or sculptures are, which makes them a great form of art.

Video Games, Yet another Form of Art

This past weekend I played a lot of Call of Duty. As I played, I realized that every part of the game is in fact a piece of art. From the format of the main menu to the battle scenes that you play, much time went into developing every part of this game. The designers and others who put this game together are artists that   work hard to make people appreciate what they have created.

Art Guide Project

In making this Atlanta Art Guide, I've learned much more about how much art there actually is in this city. From learning about information of the Center of Puppetry Arts as well as the Fox Theatre, I have learned that there are so many different types of art available so close to where I am.
