Hows its so shiny?

So for this blog Pat told me to find out what was in metallic paint to make it shiny? So after some research I found out that there are tiny bits of actual metal in the paint and the light reflects of the metal surfaces that gives it that shiny.

In ths picture the brand Gatorade uses colors based on flavor, like this is a light blue for the flavor frost. Because when you think of frost you think of the cold so the company uses a cool color, blue. The lighting bolt is orange, a warm color, representing power in this case. Which Gatorade is an energy drink so power representing energy.

The use of yellows or other warm colors, red and orange, is a bright color that draws attention so it is recongize in society as hazards. For example red is used for stop signs to draw attention to the sign because of the drastic change of color and contrast against the surroundings. Orange is used for construction, to be aware of workers and road pattern changes. In this picture the yellow is used to show caution to the driver that there is cement to hold the pole, therefore the driver can see this easily and not hit the pole.

What the hell?

I really disliked this project we did based off of LeWitt works. To me it makes no sense what so ever. It is a pointless piece in which takes no skill or no meaning. The only good thing that would come out of this piece is that it brings the people who worked on it, together. The unity in that is the only thing I can understand in which I don't even know if that is what the artist was trying to get across with doing this.

Oh my, what have we done?

Well first of all, when writing up this activity I didn't realize what kind of problem it was going to create, pretty much just because it is harmful. So in my activity of smoking cigarettes, I had to add to my sheet a caution label and a oath in which pointing out the risk and knowledge of the risk and that it is the persons own fault for taking part, which had to be signed by the person. Overall I think my activity went very well and to plan. Plus both of the people were smokers so they seemed to enjoy it. I also got some great action shots with Thiana nice camera. I also participated in a couple of other peoples activities like in Chul's where I had to speak german to Saraswati which was really hard because she was speaking spanish back to me. So I just said some pretty random stuff about the weather and such. Also I did Chris's activity with Jill on high fiving. And me and Chul caught each other as we fell backwards into each other arms.

Logos, logos everywhere, where they'll stop, NOONE knows

A logo is a symbol, or icon to represent something, usually something in the commercial world, that is trademark for that brand. I picked the Ford mustang logo because not only is it one of the greatest cars ever made but also because it is very known for what it stands for. It, like most logos, is very simple with just the outline of a horse running with three bars of red, white, and blue behind it showing America, and American made.

when I first looked at this piece, or two pieces, I was extremely confused, I knew there was also a story that goes along with it, but couldn't thinkm of anything possible to explain this, I thought it was just a meaningless abstract piece. After reading Duchamp writings I kind of started to put everything together and realized the complexity and thoughts that went into both the writing and the artwork. To which at some points I am still confused. I think it's great how they relate to each other, I just wished I could understand it better.
