Project i3 – Finding Art

• 

1. Here is the picture.

2. Form: the physical appearance of the object, but in this case, it is a first handed photo frame. Aesthetics: a sort of philosophy that involves the nature of beauty, in which turns out to be the 3 pink mini flowers which are surviving with the leaves. Content: the piece of art is supposed to represent satisfaction to viewers, which the flowers and leaves represent prosperity.

3. No, our piece was not art before using duct tape and masking tape because without the tape to know what is the star of the show, it is just a mini garden to where students see the ground, leaves, and flowers.

4. Unfortunately, art will not be the same whenever the photo frame is removed will not be art because the masking tape and duct tape which constituted the photo frame tells other viewers a message.

5. Art resides in the body of the object is prosperity. What prosperity (symbolically) is is that there are only a few alive flowers, which give prosperity such as providing wealth to your family as well as to have good luck to your family. The dirt/wood represents death, which is dark and sad; yet, possibly bad luck. The leaves represents nature to which it represents hope, love, good luck, and faith. The part that is art but not really “art” is the poles and the duck tape because without those structures, they cannot hold and will not support the tapes to create art.

6. Yes and No, art can be something rather than an object specifically. No, is where if I see an object that means nothing “significant” to me, such as a laptop, which people need for daily tasks. Yes, is where if I see an object or a group of objects (visual representation) as a whole such as childhood memories, or something that highly interests me.

7. Again, this answer will be very subjective, so that way, I will be agreeing to both sides. Yes, art does reside to the viewer, whenever he or she feels like it means a lot to them such as their “childhood memories” and something interesting/anything that will interest them. Most likely, when there are couples, they will more likely look into art more quite often, but not always tho. No, art does not reside to the viewer because at times, he or she are is not dedicated into art. They look at it for just a second, and then walk away. I believe that time == art. Art could be considered time consuming and an excuse (break) from studying from other core courses.
