1) Name an Early artist mentioned in the article for CONCEPTUAL WORK performing in front of the camera.
Describe a work.  (2 points)

Joan Jonas. She used a vertical roll to fragment and mess up the way women’s bodies were viewed and their roll in the home during that time period.

2) Name an artist mentioned who deals with PERSONAL NARRATIVE. Describe a work.  (2 points)

Pipilotti Rist. Her Video was about how women were degraded in pop culture. She sings a sings the title of a pop tune while dancing. The longer it went on the more her movements became grotesque and akward.

3) Describe the piece you were most interested in viewing after reading this article. Look the work
up on the links, and expand on Rush’s comments. (2 points)

Ana Mendieta’s pieces were the ones I was more interested in. The pieces that I strongly remember were the ones where she was buried and the one where she was bleeding from her head. I am assuming that she used her body as a sacrifice for art. And to show how spiritual those sacrifices are.

4) What do you better understand now about Video Art? (2 points)

Video art is more about the artist rather than entertainment. It also allows the artist to express their thoughts and feelings though video.

5) Based on Rush and this article, what makes Video Art vs. an “artful video”? (2 points)

Artful video is more for comercials, television,film, and advertising, while in video art the artist’s gesture could be recorded while in tha act of making the video. Video art is also more personal.

My concept is to show me doing stuff that I like to do.It will include the reflection of me riding my bike in a window,poster making for ANO,and some footage from the convention,and possibly a flip book of stuff Ido during the week(if Ihave time).The location for the bike footage will vary. I am testing out which path is the least bumpy. For those shots I plan on having Aaron my partner film on the ground while I come in from out of view and then some footage from another closer angle.  Icould even have a scene where it looks like I am going to get run over by my own bike.The poster making so far has been filmed in Offenhauer but I am sure the rest will be filmed at the union in the poster room.Iam thinking a table shot , a high angle, and maybe a pan around the room. Next I could show me watching the anime convention online. I plan on doing shots at the entrance, at the first aid table , on stairs, and above starbucks. The shot I plan for the entrance would be a dolly like shot and a high shot like on the stairs. The scenes regarding the first aid table would be views from the table view and my eyelevel shots. For the flipbook I plan on possibly show me doing laundry on laundry day or me walking up the stairs for class. I want to draw a fip book where the angle is on the floor of the stairs and I emerge from the stairs or me me throwing people’s laundry out on laundry day. The laundry day one could be mostly middle view shots, medium full shots, close up of my feet tapping, and me throwing there stuff out. At home my cats had kittens and Ialso have footage of the. I might want from those scences whatever looks the best will go into the video.

My intention is to show the audience what I am interested in, and how I like to spend my freetime. I will show the studying me versus the me that likes to act goofy at anime conventions.For the first sequence I will show me walking   to the dorm with books in my hand , and then some shots of me going in the opposite direction in the direction of the con, in my gear for then con .  The walking me will have scenes of me looking  at my watch up and then up to  a shot of me coming toward the camera. Then a close up on the walking me squenting to see the rider and then a close up of the rider pasing by or medium shot. And then me looking in the direction of the rider and saying watch it you almost hit me. And then a scene showing the rider leaving in that direction raising her hand saying no breaks sorry. And back to the other me in a medium close up with me looking mad and then another close up on my watch and then a pan to direction the wallking me was riding.Then  a fade black to white. Of the me riding the bike to the con. from my perspective.Iwill shorten the scene of me arriving to the con by long shot of the building from my view, a close up of my bike and the building from my view. Another way I could do that is a long shot of me coming toward the building on my bike (front view), then me disappering down the little hill  and biking toward the bike rakes and then a medium or full shot of me at the rakes locking up my bike. Next is   close up of me opening the doors up to the union.  fade then me up high viewing the people coming into the entrance or someone holding the camera and shooting me having people sign up for the con. Next a table shot of me at the first aid table, and then me going to see taiko perform. And maybe the taiko performance. After that I will do different shots of me at in the crowd of me at the con(mostly my point of view). Then I will end with a scence of the rave from afar and then a  transition to the other me at my desk reading my book for my assign mnts with the video of the convention playing on the computer with scenes of me posing with my friends. And a zoom in on that to my face and then a fade to black.

Timing I am unsure of until Ido the takes but  most  likly will be 10secs to 1min.Some of the scences I won’t know untl I shot them. Fri. I plan on going to Union and checking out the spots I was thinking of.Most of the shots I at the Union might not come out right because there will be so many people there. They might bump into me or cause the camera to almost fall. So that is my plan so far . The con vention seens will be this sat. and the others can be done any time of the week coming up. I just need help on which shots would be right for this. There is too many ideas for shots that Idon’t know which is right.

David smith

I liked his work because of the abstract shapes look human and even it isn’t human it is still recognizable. One of the peices in his firsr work looks like a clock piece for the person’s leg to me. I how polished he sculptures look.

Louise Bourgeoise

I like her work even though I don’t like spiders. Her sculptures are not the typical looking spiders however. These ones are larger than humans and have no eyes, mouth,and etc.The bodies look like a hornets nest or a beehives, but you can tell that they are spiders by the legs. I chose the metal layered because Ithought it would be cool to look up and see yourself  and the building reflected in the metal.

Barbara Hepworth

The reason Ichose this artists is because I liked how she twisted the forms and added string to it.I caught myself wondering how she made that form.Iliked her second pic because of the color and how the wire draws you ion to a central point.

Tatlin

I like his work because it looks like it’s going to fall.  Another reason I like this iartist is because some of his works looks as though it could be a roller coaster. The reason I like his second work is because of the name. It supposed to be a whirl of energy but it seemed static to me.

Archipenko

Ilike how his sculptures interpreted  human form in  different ways. You can tell from his sculptures what he is trying to represent but not realistically.

Louise Bourgeoise

I like her work even though I don’t like spiders. It made me wonder how those small tips could sustain all that weight. i believe the reason I like this sculpture is because of it’s size and that it doesn’t have the real eyes,and  mouth of a spider. her other work i like it because i just thought it would look cool to look up and see ourself reflected over and over in it.
