“Art and Identity: The Museum of Modern Art”

Our visit to the MOMA museum we had to study and observe the way the was being presented in the Contemporary Galleries from 1980-till now and the Cindy Sherman art. To me identity in art can be translated to how a person express the message they are trying to give through a specific painting.

The first work of art I found very interesting was Painted By: Marlene Dumas South African, born 1953, paintings name is Wall Walling. The painting basically consist of African American people probably a little village getting harassed by soldiers. I believe that this painting is a Identity of culture and how different it is outside of the U.S and how people tend to suffer and have to learn to fear the Soldiers for there life’s or else they will get killed.  In the imagine you see that the people are being held up against the wall and are being inspected by the soldiers meaning maybe the Soldiers are looking for valuables or something.

The Second painting is painted by: Ryoko Aoki a Japanese artist born 1973, the painting is called From the tip to the head. The painting easy to get that he had like a personal message in the painting itself that he probably feels as if his on top of the mountains or his the head of the mountains which to me means he was feeling free and head of that mountain which in the painting itself shows the freedom with the birds flying around, the wild, and just being out in nature.

The third painting is by: Doris Salcedo Colombian, born 1958. The painting is called Atrabiliarios, which consist of some high heels stuck in a plywood wall with animal fiberglass. I believe this is a very interesting art piece because it took me a long time to actually make sense of it, but which I still don’t get a since of the piece but I can say that maybe this shoes were something special to her which she decided at the end to make art out of it to show her special belongings.

In conclusion all this arts have their own meanings but people can interrupt them in a different way and get a better image of it in your own mind. This three arts where part of the contemporary galleries from 1980 till now.  

"The Narrative Digital Collage"

I basically made this collage because I'm a big horror movie fan, and zombie movie fanatic as well. So for this collage I incorporated different type of things you would find in a basic zombie movie which would be a horde of zombies, army, transportation, heavy weapons, a house, helicopters, RPG's, snakes and survivors.

“Good Art vs. Bad Art.”

GOOD ART.
      Many people have their own opinions on how they see art. One of the ways they see art is as in Good art. To me good art is someone who takes their time to get creative and show a lot of good thoughts in there paintings. Art that can also be interpreted in different ways like a picture that can mean 100 different things depending on who looks at. Anything that can also capture a persons eyes has to be a very fine art piece.
This painting i find it to be a very interesting painting because of the way it is the coloring the facial expression of the person. I like this particular drawing good art because I feel as if i can connect to the painting itself, if that makes any sense. But how the character is in shock and how sometimes I get shocked at what i see outside with different people.     

BAD ART.
 In another hand people have opinions on bad art, To me bad art is a Painting in which has a horrible coloring or basically i can't really grasp what the artist was trying to present to the viewer.  Weather if its bad art or not people always tend to appreciate it at the end and look at very different. Bad art is sometimes hard to determine but when an individual can't have a connection with it they tend to just say "oh this is just wack" meaning they don't like it.

As you see in the painting above i find it to be bad art because of the way the coloring was in the painting it was very complicated to determine what the artist was trying to give to the audience.
