Wk 13 – Remix Culture
The freedom of Internet culture is amazing because you’re willing to freely express your opinions despite other people having opposing opinions, especially in America. I hear that some countries, however, still restrict certain websites that go against the government beliefs. I also heard that some companies delete certain comments from people if they don’t like…
Wk 12 – “Graffiti Writing”
For this assignment, I would’ve much rather preferred to go outside and tag something like a public wall, but I’m super paranoid with the COVID-19 situation and wouldn’t risk going out. Back in high school, I was on the cheer team, and we were in charge of making “run-throughs” for the football players. It was…
Wk 11 – “Sustainable Art”
What was your idea?My idea was just to carve a small happy face into the sand of a local park I live near. Most parks are closed down due to quarantine with caution tape lazily wrapped around the playgrounds for kids, but the grass and sand areas are still available to people to tale walks/walk…
Wk 10 – “The Internet is an Art Gallery”
My theme for my art gallery is that “Culture creates positive influences on art that can be shared with the world. My first artist to explore this idea is the most popular Youtuber Pewdiepie and his Minecraft world. Now, of course I didn’t get to explore the actual world he created, but many people have…
Wk 9 – “Vlogging
My goal with the vlog was to create a compilation of videos over the course of my first year of college featuring all the great friends I’ve made. I did. It was a little hard gathering all the material I needed, but it was a good amount at the end.Instead of the title card in…
Wk 8 – Art Activity – “Drawing & Your Brain!”
I decided to do my drawing with my best friend Emily because it had been a while since we got together and talked. The experience was a fun one – we were laughing a lot and it was hard to go with the flow if one of us wasn’t taking control. She thought that we…

Wk 6 – “We need to talk about Beauty”
For this project, I didn’t really dress up or make my self look any nicer. Instead, I just wore a green neon vest and walked around Bolsa Chica Wetlands. I watched this video where a guy dressed up as a janitor and he was let into a lot of random events and venues just because…
Wk 5 – “Shocking Art!”
For my art, I decided to paint nature onto a Hydro-flask to emphasize the idea that using reusable water bottles can help nature. I usually like painting on non-canvas items because it’s fun to navigate my way around the objects. It’s also a double win to have nature painted on a Hydro-flask because it shows…

Wk 4 – “Storytelling (Photography)”
So, the story I was going for is the idea of youth and how the smallest things can mean so much to someone because they haven’t experienced it before. I’ve always been into exploring new experiences, and in the case of my little sister, everything is new to her. I don’t think that my images…
Wk3 – “Drawing is also a Language”
This activity was fun because I had good company, but it was frustrating because I’m not familiar with sketching cups or trees or people. Personally, I don’t like drawing unless I have a direct reference. Even then, it’s mostly just cartoons or easily sketched pieces. A lot of my creative outlet comes from painting because…

W2- “You Can Find Art Anywhere!”
The formal qualities of the art are the neutral color tones of the tree. We boxed in the brown vines and the green leaves, so the largeness of the tree is hidden. The shape of the vines are long and skinny, and they overrun each other in a way that is unorganized. It’s highly textured…
EC-Maintenance Art at Hugh Jackman’s Star on Hollywood Blvd
I chose Hugh Jackman because his role on The Greatest Showman honestly made the movie 100x better. His singing is great, his acting is great, and now I love the circus. It was super embarrassing while doing the action because I was scared that people were gonna look and think that I’m weird. However, no…
EC-Visiting Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE)
The art pieces were inspired by how silence can affect the situations and environment around us. A lot of the pieces were microphones and audio files. There were actual QR codes on the walls for us to scan and listen to a narrative about sound. There were historical excerpts about how silent protests ended up…
Wk2-Art Experience-Abstraction is Freedom
The experience was very confusing. I had no goal except to fill the paper up, and I wanted to make something beautiful, but there was no defined image that I could make in that image. It was hard at first because I had to get over the idea of creating something tangible, and then it…
Wk 1-Art Experience-“Women’s Work is also Art
Performing Maintenance Art made me feel kinda shy at first, especially since it was at the USU where people I know could possibly see me cleaning a random statue. It made me feel vulnerable since cleaning is something that you normally do alone, not in public. Madam Laderman Ukeles cleaning the steps of an art…
