My name is Dillon, and I am from Long Island, New York. I am currently a freshman majoring in marketing. I enjoy golfing and spending time with my friends, as well as staying active through running and taking my dog on walks. In high school, I played both football and lacrosse, I also enjoy surfing and fishing, and during the summer I work as a lifeguard at a local beach. One of my main goals is to maintain a high GPA while continuing to do the things I enjoy. I also hope to travel with my friends and experience new places in the future.

POST #10 – LECTURE – INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

Image
The  Industrial Revolution  changed everyday life in a big way and pushed both art and technology in new directions. As cities grew and industry expanded, artists started to think differently, leading to the rise of the  avant garde  and new ideas tied to  Modernism . Instead of following tradition, artists focused more on what they personally saw and felt. This is clear in  Impressionism , where  Claude Monét  and  Edouard Manét  painted real-life scenes using  plein air painting , like in  Bar at the Folies-Bergère . Moving forward,  Post Impressionism  artists such as  Vincent Van Gogh  and  Cezanne  added more emotion and structure to their work, while  Symbolists  like  Paul Gauguin  focused on deeper meaning. New movements like  Fauvism  and  Cubism , with artists like  Picasso  and  Braque , broke objects into shapes, as seen in  Les Dem...

TITLE – POST #15 – READING - DISCUSSION – ARSON AND MANSFIELD MODERN ART EXCERPTS

Image
Three things that stuck out to me from this reading are how modern art began to rebel against classic thoughts and incorporated more progressive ideas. Artists began to care less about making something aesthetically pleasing and more about what their piece stood for. Another takeaway from the reading is how artists tried to go against what people thought was fine art by using mundane or basic items to create art. One thing I noticed from reading this was how some modern art can be very perplexing, but I think that's the entire point of it to make you question what you're look at. It also discusses how there began to be variations of style as artists broke more rules and experimented. The last thing I noticed was how modern art reflects the era that it's being created in, depicting changes in social culture and new ways of thinking.   DISCUSSION QUESTION What do you think? Is “The Fountain” art? Why? I think The Fountain is art because it makes people question what art reall...
