Post # 10: Vampire By: Ro0t

This is a stereotype  because everyone perceive vampires as dark creature who loves to feed off of humans. As you can see in the picture, the artist created a vampire with blood all over its face and cold, unfathomable eyes. If you read books like Twilight or Vampire Diaries a lot of the vampires in these book are "vegetarians" and good hearted people. It's unfair to people who created the term vampire. In the dictionary it say, "A corpse supposed, in European folklore, to leave its grave at the night to drink the blood of the living by bitting their necks with long pointed canine teeth." As you can see, they aren't deadly creatures; they just feast off the living. And the living doesn't have to be humans, it could be animals. So vampires are a stereotype because they take the perspective of them to whole different and evil level.

Post #9: The Vodka Rabbit Lounge By UponThouFairCat


In this piece of artwork, the first thing I noticed was hybridity. I noticed this because of the media created within this artwork., to me, that creates conceptual statement. It's not really abstract, obviously, but I can sense some contradictory in this piece. I feel the illusion of the future with the mechanic arm. Also, I get a sense of  china with the various lanterns. From the girls in the picture, I sense popularity and high status from the environment.

The next strategy is layering. Combining all of these feelings into one piece of artwork creates a huge contradictory. From the piece, you can get of feel of being unwanted from the the girl is looking at the mechanic hand. Placing this mechanic hand in the high status and popular area shows layering to me because it's out of place.

Post # 8: Reflection

First quarter art was something else!!!!!
 I had a lot of fun, but was also bored to death at times. 
Nevertheless, I did learn some vital information that helped me become a better artist. 
Some of the best parts about the first quarter would be drawing in general and looking at other artists' artwork. 
I was really amazed at how some people could really draw awing pieces. So cool to see! 
Another thing I like are the blogs. I love looking at the pictures people put up for their blogs. A lot of them out did mine! 
The people in the class made it fun too. There are tons of different personalities and styles. Putting them all together in one room was rewarding. I had plenty of laughs in that class! 
Some bad things about it would being the writing, cornell notes, and stuff in that area. It really made me tired, hungry, and put me in a worse mood if I already was in one. Besides that, it was fun. 
Can't wait for next quarter!!!!!!
