1) Art work reflects the time it was created because the more modern painting is not as detailed as the older painting and the meanings are very different. The contemporary painting reflects Obama being the president and doing great things for our country. The old painting reflects war and people fighting over land.
2)
HelloKitty-Shep.jpg
This piece of work is very interesting because Hello Kitty is known as a very sweet adorable figure for kids, but in this painting Hello Kitty is a really bad, misbehaved figure with a spray can in her hand as if she is going to put graffiti on buildings' walls.
1.  How does artwork reflect the times it was created?  Compare this portraitrom the past with a more contemporary one. Artwork reflects the time in which it was created because at different times in history, different even events took place and different trends were popular. Artwork may portray these things and depending on the time, whatever is painted is different. This portrait shows a man on a horse. This reflects it's time because back then everyone rode horses for transportation but not anymore. The clothing in this portrait and the more contemporary one are both different also.
Artwork can reflect on the time it was made because it may have inspired other people when it was first made, and the way it inspires people today may be different.

Artwork can reflect the time that it was created because the things in the picture show what is happening in the current time.
1.) How does artwork reflect the times it was created? Compare this potraitom the past with a more contemporary one. Artwork reflects the times it was created because it can tell stories about the time periods and it demonstrates the interests that people liked back them. Artwork is society's way of showing their emotions towards different things. For example, if there was a dramatic war going on, we might see hatred pieces of art or art that shows what has happened durimg the war. The first piece of art is easy to tell that it is from the past and that it isn't as recent at the second picture. The second one shows more color while the first one is set to the past time frame. 2.) Find your favorite artwork by Shepherd Fairey. Post an image.

1.) Artwork reflects the struggle and thoughts of the people of that time period. It shows the people of the world, what everyone else is thinking. For example, in the painting of napoleon bonaparte, it shows the look of the people and Who they have obey. In the picture of Obama, this shows how proud everybody was that they have finally established complete equality and they were looking forward to the future.

2.) this graffiti is what made Shepard fairey famous, it established him a brand, and made him known. The "Obey" piece is basically society telling you to obey, he is mocking the system. Its legit, and a lot of people know it.
It is for the campaign to raise awareness about Kony

Word son 2.0

Artwork can reflect the time that it was created because artwork is based mainly on things that happen in the current time. For example the picture of Barack obama is more current because it has to due with things happening in today's society .

Angela Garcia

It doesn't seem right that Hello Kitty should get so much air time, but when the likes of Shepard Fairey and Adam Wallacavage are incorporating the ubiquitous symbol of cute into their oeuvre ... well, they've got our attention. The pieces are part of a group exhibition of art curated for Sanrio in honour of the company's 50th anniversary. The festival of cute continues at Small Gift Miami during the Art Basel-Miami scene.

What is good art?
I think good art is something that has negative and positive space in the pictures. Also, it shows expression in the drawing.

Should we all agree on "good art"?
No, I do not think we should all agree in good art. People have different opinions in art and if we all have different styles that we like of art, we do not all have to agree on good art.

Paula Atallah

Good art is how every person expresses it. If a viewer can feel the expressions that he artist out into them, then it is considered to be good art. Also, good art is produced when an artist puts time and effort into their piece. If an artist spends little time and puts almost no effort into their piece, then it cannot be held under the category of good art.

Riley Barnick

Good art is art that shows many good characteristics, for example if a pencil drawing only has one value instead of many different values it isn't good art. It isn't bad art it just isn't good art.
Good art is something that takes inspiration and passion. It is making something that you feel into an actual physical thing. No, not everyone has to agree on what good art is, it depends on the views and opinions of the viewer.pen-drawings-6.jpg
good art is something that takes time, passion, and inspiration. No we shouldn't because everyone has their own opinions.

Good Art

In my opinion, good art is something creative and expressive. A picture that puts an impression on a person and uses emotion. Something that takes time and the artist puts dedication in the work.






Good Art

Good art is expressive and shows emotion. Something creative that takes dedication and time. Good art is something impressive, something that will always make an impression on you. Something that represents something.

No all people will not have the same opinion on what qualifies art as good, everybody should have an understanding of good art, but not everyone will agree on what good art is.

Hannah Koval

1.) Good art is the expression of one's feelings through line weight, color, shading, form, etc.
2.) We all should not agree on what makes good art because we all have our own styles and our own opinions.


Good Art

1. Good art is something that expresses feelings and all sorts of different emotion.


2. No, I don't think that all of us should agree because everyone has their own opinion.


GOOD ART

1)What makes good art?
Good art is a piece of work that has a lot of thought and meaning put into it, something that has a story. It makes the artwork more interesting to the viewer because they will wonder what the story is behind it and maybe what kind of person the artist was or is. Also, good art relates to many people and what they have been through or experienced.

2)Should we all agree on what good art is?
I believe that the definition of good art is different for everyone. It depends on what they like, what they have experienced in the past, and what kind of person they are in general. It's like music; not everyone likes the same genre.

Define good art

I think good art can be anything. You have to use your imagination. You also need to be creative. You can do whatever you want to make art.
Good art is when you use line weight and has shading. It also has meaning. Not everyone should agree on art because we all like different things some may like color while others my like pencil drawings.

Good art

Good art is something expressive that the artist worked hard on making

Good art

Good art is expressive, creative, and takes good dedication to make

We should all have an understanding of good art but we can have an opinion on what art is 'good' to us

Definition of good art

My idea of good art is when you try your best to get perfection. Good art can be anything, as long as you try your best.
Good art is when there is good takes time to make.
We should not agree on what good art is because people can have a different opinion.
Good art is when it looks like good shading or something.


No
Good art is something that is creative, makes an impression on you, can represent something important, and takes dedication to make.
Good art is not defined by one person, different people can have different opinions on what good art is.

Olivia Gugliotti

Question 1
Good art is expressive and shows emotion. It should have a message or story with it so that is is more interesting and deep than just a picture. It also should illustrate creativity and should take time to create.

Question 2
Not everybody should agree on what makes good art. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so what some people might think is good art others may not find good at all. Everybody has their own opinion and everybody's opinion is different.

What makes good art?
good art is good texture and shows emotion, good art takes time. 
Should we all agree on what makes "good art"?
no, every person looks at art in a different way.

1.Good art is when you can see the difference from light to dark. You can see the cast shadow of the drawing. You should be able to look at the drawing and be able to understand it. Good art has to be creative and original.
2. I don't think that we should all agree on what good art is because it should be our own opinion on different drawings. I think that we should be creative and unique in our own and and express ourselves in our drawings.
1.) Good art is art that has all the contents needed. It should express contrast and detail. You should be able to look at it and understand it. Good art should tell something important and illustrate creativity.
2.) Everyone has their own opinion on what good art is. People think differently. Someone might think that good art expresses things that I don't think good art should have. It's everyone's personal opinion.

Good art

Good art is something that is creative and is original. Also is expressive and should take dedication to complete it. I believe everyone should have there own opinion on what is good art.

highlights:top of the building, the sides of the building and stairs
light: top of the building . top of the mountains
shadow:inside the window
reflect light: the second layer of the mountains
cast shadow:behind the building and inside of the top of the buildings

m.c. escher




 highlight: the white people
 shadow: the black monkeys
reflected light: the light in the middle
 mid tone: the monkeys in the middle







1.Highlights- The highlight is coming from the celling.
   Light- The light is in the middle where the people are.
   Shadow- The shadow is the ground closest to you.
   Reflected light- The reflected light is on the celling.
   Cast Shadow- The cas shadow is the poles and the celling closest to me.

2. Yes, I do think that using all the values make it more dimensional because of the depth and it looks more detailed. 

Question #1 answer




Highlights:  The Window that is reflecting off of the sunglasses
Light: The ceiling 
Shadow:  The walls further away from the window
Reflected light:  The right side of the person
Cast shadow: The left side of the person

Question 1:
Highlights: Found on the vains of the paper, the top of the hands, and the pencils
Light: Found on the paper
Shadow: Found on the sides of the hands and near the knuckles
Reflected Light: Found on the outline of the hands
Cast Shadow: Found underneath the hands and paper and between the fingers

Question 2:
Using a full range of values makes this object look more three dimensional because real three dimensional objects contain many values so by capturing these values in a drawing you are giving it more depth and realism. 


Question 1:
Highlight- The white horses at the bottom of the picture are highlighted.
Light: The white horses at the top are light because of the pure white.
Shadow: None
Reflected light: None
Cast Shadow: All of the black people/horses.

This picture appears flat because it has no values.

Question 2: THIS DOES NOT LOOK 3D. As it has no values, this just looks flat and won't ever have three dimensional shape.

M.C. Escher





Question 1:
Highlight- the white people
Light- the white people reflected in the pool
Shadow- the ground and the background
Reflected Light- the shadows of the white and black people around the pool
Cast Shadow- the black people
