My Reflection

In the Kete Celebrating Cultures, I created a static image digitally about my Filipino culture. 

I first drew my draft on paper and then drew it digitally after.

I got the idea of putting the buffalo and the eagle because they are the national animals of the Philippines. Then I got the idea to put baybayin because it was the old letters used when the Spanish haven't colonized the Philippines. I got the idea to put the sun rays on her head from an image I saw online. I stuck with the colour pallet of the Philippines flag and the design of her clothes like the stars which represent the 3 major islands of the Philippines. I got the idea of the pearls on her hair, neck and hands from the quote "Perlas ng Silanganan" or "Pearl of the East". The quote is from the Philippine national anthem. 

I worked well. Although there were a lot of things I wasn't satisfied with, I am pretty satisfied with it. 

Rink Kawauchi inspired

This week in art we took pictures outside using the cameras provided by the teacher. Rinko Kawauchi inspired our Photography, and these are the images I referred to while taking pictures. 

We used Photoshop for editing our pictures.  I stuck with the tints of pastel pink and blues because Rinko Kawauchi uses these colours a lot in her photography. I also took close-ups of different objects to replicate how she takes her pictures. I added my own hints to it like adding a white vignette on the side and some clarity so that the image looks softer.

Barbara Kruger 

https://www.nga.gov/education/teachers/lessons-activities/modern-art/text-art.html

 

Barbara Kruger made her own art in 1969 while writing poetry, film and television reviews. Later, she had developed her "picture practice" with photographs repurposed from vintage manuals and magazines, which she had overlaid with her own texts or commonplace phrases. 

She places her statements and questions over the images to confront the idea of representation. 

Describe the artwork:

This artwork shows a statue facing away from us with a black background. 

 The light symbolizes the word gaze hitting the statue's face. 

 The focal point is the face 

The words say "Your gaze hits the side of my face"

In my interpretation, Barbara Kruger used this image to show the male gaze. The statue is representing a woman and the light is the man gazing at the statues face. 

Barbara Kruger shows text and image working together through adding text on an image and making it a different meaning through adding text and gives us a unique perspective than what the actual object was meant to portray. She uses black and white images and provoking words in white and red. 

The art scene was male-dominated before and women artists were often rejected at exhibitions because of their gender which she thought had to be changed. Through her artwork, she can express her statements to gain equality. 

compared to Tracey Tawhiao's artworks, she shows the themes of feminism subtly as with words and symbols in her grids. Every panel has a meaning and is intentional.
