Performance Pictures

The procedure was for one partner to hold a box of matches and shake it to make noise. The other partner would dance to the noise so that partner one can control the others movements.

Both of these images are kind of ugly and doesn't have a direct meaning. Although, if you think about it they can say so much more than you see. Both the pictures are not very attractive to the eye, but they can tell a story and have a higher meaning to them.

Live Strippers to Your Room

You can't walk down the Las Vegas strip without dozens of people trying to hand you small color fliers for private strippers to visit your hotel room. My friend Amanda and I found this kind of weird and surreal, so we decided to make art out of it. The next time we passed an ad-hawker trying to hand me an ad, I took it, and then Amanda immediately started screaming at me for taking it. Then she started hitting me, and I fell to the ground, and she started kicking me. It was beautiful.

What I have learned about performance art is that it can really be anything that is out of the ordinary or off track. It is something you see and then putting you own twist on it and calling it art. The example I found was preformed by "Michale Bluejay" and I found it to be rather entertaining.

Playing with Behaviors of Everyday Life

The activity we preformed in class was very interesting. We had to get a partner and both grab a mirror. We stood back to back and positioned the mirror to where we could see our partners face in the reflection. Then we would walk farther and farther away from each other until we couldn't see our faces anymore. I was surprised that I walked as far as I did and was still able to see my partners face. It was hard to keep the mirror steady and in one place as I walked farther away from my partner. I think we could of walked farther than we actually did, but it was cold outside. I got a burning sensation in my arm from holding the mirror in one tight position for a certain amount of time.

Duchamp created this painting titled the bride in 1923. The extremely abstract, far fetched images and ideas was a new and daring style of art. In my opinion Duchamps work was way ahead of time.

I found one picture on Google image search that had multipul logos, icons, signs,and symbols. These are graphic images representing something like a business or events that are pleasing to the eye and relatively easy to remember or relate to.

I found these images off of goggle image search. They were all very interesting to me and that is why I chose to put them in my blog. They caught my eye because I like the colors and I believe that they were the best examples of good patterns.
