Topic Four: Landscape, Outside Visit #2 PAMM (Pérez Art Museum Miami) Exhibition:  Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Surrounded Islands, Biscayne Bay, Greater Miami, Florida, 1980–83 | A Documentary Exhibition  Summary: The experience of a quite longer viewing of a show changes my perception of the exhibition overall because I was able to comprehend the development of the cultural history of the islands situated in Biscayne Bay and how they extend out from each island into the bay with showcasing various materials and the process they underwent. I wished a can view longer to analyze each piece in the exhibit, but I was tight on timing and manage to see a few.

Topic Three: Rhinoceros, Part Three Portrait/Propaganda (Ambitious/In-Depth Assignment) Part A: Portrait Part B: Propaganda Reflection: After creating this two-part assignment I feel rather quite contrasting. I decided to use Jeff Bezos for this assignment. On Part A of the portrait, I acquired knowledgeable feedback on the technical inaccuracy. I decided to use a black sharpie to clarify the demeanor of his sharpness as a businessman. I had difficulties deciphering the tint of shadows and placement of the background. On Part B of the propaganda, I felt I manage to grasp the concept finer. In this piece, I displayed Jeff Bezos is egocentric driven him into the insanity of the substantial load of the destruction of stores and people losing their jobs. In the piece, I place an Amazon package to serve as a representation of the success of Amazon gleefully mocking to replacing the store. Also, I chose the color choices of gold and green to symbolize his stature of be...

Topic Three: Rhinoceros, Part Two (Assignment #1: Creature/Other) Creature #2: Other #2: Reflection:    After creating two pieces depicted from the text, my results were quite distinguished from those of my classmates. For the creature drawing, I decided to attempt creature #2. I felt creature #2 would be challenging and broader in term of leaving one's imagination to deliberate the characteristics of the creature. I found the creature to be grueling to sort out. As I started I seem to understand the traits like the defense mechanism of the red ink and physical trait of being five inches, yellowish, and purple veins. I didn't grasp the full concept and interpreted the creature in a different way. In class, I realize the creature is the display a sea slug. I reread the text and it made sense of the accurate description of a sea slug. For my other, I decided to execute other #2. This piece seemed quite easy to showcase. I read carefully to capture the deta...
