ART 211: Rual Cuerco Concepts to life

Raul Cuerco is a man of many talents, but he had been treated as an unintellectual individual because of his race. Not one person wanted to look at him as a smart person, but through his struggles he found the wisdom to live his life with a better perspective. In the interview he had pointed out many ways to live life in a way that benefits you as a person. The concepts that he introduced were how he lived his own life and how he eventually benefitted from living the way that he did.

Raul says that everything is possible if you try hard enough. In everyday life, many people are discouraged to do certain things because of laziness or the thought of failure. Raul has a different approach. Raul says, "Focus without the fear of failing." and "do everything with intensity." He goes on to say that intensity is what makes a process complete. Everything in everyday life is a process, and applying the concept of not fearing the inevitable, work with intensity, and try hard everyday, will allow people to succeed in everyday life. People tend to believe that if its inevitable, then its hopeless. However, successful people do not think this way, and that is why everyday people should also think this way. People are so easy to give up, and not see a different side to something. Like Raul has mentioned, the only way to succeed and reject any negativity, is to develop who you are as a person and change your expectations.

Ideas don't strategically come up in a persons mind. Ideas are a form of creativity within us all. Some people struggle to come up with ideas, and say that they are not creative enough. Raul says, "Whatever we do with thermal ideas everything comes from nature." I believe he means that the ideas that we come up with are only apart of nature and our ability to think as intellectual humans. For people who cannot come with ideas fast enough or just can't come up with anything period, they must keep in mind, Raul says ideas emerge through interactions with other ideas. So if someone isn't able to come up with anything, they should get other peoples ideas and collaborate so that they can eventually come up with something. Ideas don't have to be an individual thing. These concepts are important to keep in  mind, I believe that it can help people in everyday life, and if everyone thought and did the same as Raul says, there's a possibility in improvement in technology, human interaction, and possibly work ethic.

Art 211: Performance art

Image
Jen was my partner! When we were thinking of my piece, I looked at things I usually enjoy. I enjoyed watching people recording and doing weird stuff in stores and always wondered if I could ever do that. Since I have an overwhelming sense of social anxiety, I try not to draw attention to myself, yet wish that I could do the things youtubers do best. My piece is based on just contently being yourself. I want to illustrate that you can be weird and do what you please in public, no matter what the public eye says. I see performance art as an interesting concept. from flash mobs to protest, performance art can really have an everlasting memory for those who see it. Some performance arts can be seen as extreme, and can be essentially violent to oneself, bodily harm to make a statement can be seen as too intense for public eyes, but it does make a statement. whether it reaches the peoples minds can be a challenge. When the performance is recorded I think a lot more people can see it...

Art 211 Combination project: Smoothie Phone

Image
My project is a combination of lunch and conversation. The avocado represents the dial, the sandwich, the base of the phone, the elbow noodles, the cord, and the apple, banana, and orange is made up of the phone. My reasoning for creating such a mass of food is simply because of the idea of healthiness vs unhealthiness. We are told that being on our electronics causes loss of brain cells and inability to learn in a specific way. People of the younger generation tend to not care and hold on to electronics almost as an obsession, but what if electronics were healthy food? If we treated our body how we treat our electronics, perhaps we would have a better perspective on healthiness. My idea came to me from looking at my own life. my inspirations actually came from my dinner. While I was prodding around, seeing what I should eat, I found myself dragging my phone along with me, as if it was another part of my arm. Noticing this caused me to create such a piece. Other inspirations came ...

Art 211: deconstruction Video

Image
For my project I decided to focus on the meaning of worth and worthlessness. Sometimes people give more credit to feeling worthless than feeling that they are worth it. To illustrate this concept, I made Worth as a girl trapped under a black and white environment in the wet and cold, and gave worthlessness a beautiful look. I made worthlessness wear a dress of red to symbolize demons. When people continuously say they are worthless, they are giving worthlessness a spotlight, and leaving their worth in the dark. For the effects of the video, I did a lot of reverse, speeding up, color change, tv simulator effects, and black and white effects. I used final cut pro and a T3i rebel camera. It was a lot of fun filming it in the water, but it was a mess as well. Originally I was supposed to film outside, but I decided that if I film the two elements where it looks like they are trapped, it would be better. I want people to realize how much they are worth. I decided to do this concept...
