Fall 2013 Current Notes and Writings

Alberti and Robert Henri
Alberti is so relevant even centuries later! Artists have that only talent that will last so long and precious after we are dead, yet, it is so undervalued. Henri gives an impressive statement about beauty. Something that every artist-writer attempts to define. 

Ideas

Cars as art
Original large artifacts as art
Practical design, functional
Art Deco into modernity as they saw it before it occured.  
Art Deco period interpreted modernity through circular lines, bubbles, sphere-like sculptures.  Woman's bubble shaped faces.  It ended with sharp, contrasting devilish strikes, then the digital function took over into a technology infected art world.  Contemporary art is just trying to organize the overlapping movements and make sense (make fun) of everything that has happened the last 100 years.

Key Writers on Art
Pg. 74 Collingwood wrote Principles of Art in 1938
Pg. 75 The difference between art and craft being craft always needs a plan, art doesn't always need or require a plan.

Boundries
Too much allows too many mistakes or lack of doing anything well although too little obligations result in boredom and irresponsibility so where is the line of having too much or too little?
The issue of taking care of someone too much enables them to not see results of their responsibilities leading them down a path of failure and nothingness.  DUH

Just for fun
Fake sandwiches make bad friends cause they wish they were lovers. pink turn your wild into mud mam think about your alligators what they don't know will turn into a puss infection that feels so sweet sour what you think is your soul and eat livers til your sick cause the vomit will hug your babies and feed your husband til it's time to stop beating your daughters. listen to the kittens pur Montecruz. who do you think you are to stand with your head perked and your legs knotty no one in mexico will ever fish for umbrellas or fight with the whiskey makers. i baked this pie for you to eat, enjoy and taste it til it's time to go home. your dessert is too spicy for your white furry mouth. clean your plate and make use of your aprons before i kick your butt!
