A huge shout out for Art Professor, Phil Chang and his exhibition in New York City! "Process, Object, Residue reframes the artist’s previous presentation of the project, in which unfixed prints were created in the privacy of the artist’s studio and presented in public at a gallery, where they slowly faded over time in the ambient light necessary to view them. In this exhibition, a new photographic print will be created each day, by contact printing a negative onto expired Kodak Kodabrome paper within the gallery. These long exposures will be executed in a manner consistent with Chang’s private studio practice: using an inexpensive desk lamp, on an ordinary table, within a standard room filled with ambient light. By using readily available, low-tech tools, this process challenges photographic standards, and questions the economic hierarchies inherent to the art world. Process, Object, Residue will incorporate a public display of the artist’s personal documents related to previous presentations of the work, including research materials, exhibition proposals, installation layouts, and press reviews. These documents make hidden aspects of other labor visible, further considering the economic implications of artistic production and the value assigned to stages of the creative process."

Art has been evolving since cavemen began painting on their walls. Technology as a whole has been the catalyst in the process, which is what I will be focusing on my capstone project #DCIMCapstone project. In mankind's urge to express itself, artists began to use computer technology in new ways to change the way art is made forever. Here is an article I will be using for my project. https://lnkd.in/ebAVRPu2

https://lnkd.in/evPEnmyD | remembered early on as a kid, all of my drawings were evaluated by my school Art teacher and used as an example to my classmates. However,.. I was always looking for more from my teachers in regards to my art classes. When you have a natural gift, in most cases you are overlooked because you can handle it. While others always benefited from more help. So Later on as an adult, I tackle the art of color separations in the screen printing business. This took me on a journey that no one could ever imagine. Creating a colored detailed artwork and then create separations for each color on a transparent acetate that would be burned in a screen for each color. At the time there were no computers to do color separations, I had to create dots stippling to create color gradations for my finished art prints. Those were the days of self acclaimed, with challenges and self achievements. Love those days! I created art for the theme parks across America. Now today l've become something different as the Artist, always looking for challenges, because that kid in me still is never satisfied. So now, 1 create 3D canvas paintings that are sometimes hard to imagine. However these are the challenges I enjoy. This is where I feel at home, and here are my words of wisdom! Today I'm working on a project right now, that I have had to go back and redirect my subjects to live cohesively within its 3 dimensional prospective world, 1 have created! As the Artist, you have to be willing to live all out with no fear of expression by jumping into the fears of failure, that's when you emerge through the magical process with a one of a kind work of art that even I, will not want to duplicate. Never hesitate, inspire yourself within LOVE for your Art and others. Because here is where your audience will emerge with gratification for your work! IDiazCreations.com

▶ Understanding art and art history is a complex and multifaceted endeavour that requires a deep appreciation for creativity, culture, and historical context. For Generation Z, who are often characterised as digital natives with a penchant for technology and instant gratification, engaging with art and art history may seem daunting or irrelevant. However, young individuals need to recognise the significance of art in shaping societies, expressing ideas, and reflecting on the human experience. In this essay, I will provide a comprehensive guide for Generation Z on how to understand art and art history, covering various aspects, such as the importance of art, key concepts in art history, and practical tips for interpreting and appreciating art. ▶Importance of Art Art has been an integral part of human existence since the earliest civilizations, serving as a means of communication, expression, and cultural preservation. Understanding art allows individuals to gain insight into different historical periods, societal values, and individual perspectives. Moreover, art provides a platform for critical thinking, creativity, and emotional expression, fostering empathy and understanding across diverse cultures and experiences. For Generation Z, recognising the importance of art can lead to personal growth, an expanded worldview, and a deeper connection to the human experience. ▶Key Concepts in Art History Art history encompasses a vast array of styles, movements, and periods, each with its own unique characteristics and significance. To understand art history, it is crucial to familiarise oneself with key concepts and terminology that form the foundation of artistic expression. Some of these concepts include: 1. Periodization: Art history is often divided into distinct periods, such as the Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism, and Modernism. Specific artistic styles, techniques, and cultural influences defined each period, providing a framework for understanding the evolution of art over time. 2. Style and Technique: Different artistic styles, such as Realism, Impressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism, reflect varying approaches to representation, form, and visual language. Understanding these styles and the techniques employed by artists can offer insights into their creative processes and intentions. 3. Iconography and Symbolism: Art often contains symbols, motifs, and allegorical references that convey deeper meanings and cultural significance. Interpreting these symbols within their historical and cultural contexts is essential for comprehending the messages embedded in artworks. 4. Social and Political Context: Art is deeply intertwined with the social and political dynamics of its time. Examining the historical context in which artworks were created can illuminate the ideological, religious, and socio-economic forces that shaped artistic production.

A brilliant example of artists pushing the limits of personal creativity through AI. 👇🏽 Here we can see how far utilizing text to image AI models and the vast possibility of latent space can be taken. In this case to produce a physical bronze sculpture. There’s a previlent debate on whether AI is simply a tool or rather a collaborator. Either way, those pushing the boundaries are the ones who will be marked in history
“The Sentinel of Memory in the Valley of Vulnerability” is a bronze sculpture currently on display in my “AI Am I?” exhibition at the Crocker Art Museum. This is the first museum retrospective on AI and art. This video shows the back-and-forth between technology and humans creating the work. It was first described by a text-generation AI. That description was fed into an image-generation AI. The image was outpainted by another AI to expand the image. A human then took the result and turned that into a 3D model. That model was 3D printed and then lost-3D-print cast in bronze. The bronze pieces are then welded together and hand-finished by a patina artisan. OpenAI funded the production of the sculpture and it was donated to the Crocker Art Museum and is now the first AI artwork in their permanent collection.

The Indispensable Role of Art in Our Lives Art holds an indispensable place in our lives, serving as a bridge between diverse cultures, a mirror to society, and a canvas for personal expression. It transcends mere aesthetics, tapping into the deepest human emotions and experiences. Whether it’s through the evocative strokes of a painter, the poignant words of a poet, the harmonious chords of a musician, or the graceful movements of a dancer, art has the unique ability to convey complex feelings and ideas that words alone cannot. It enriches our understanding of the world, fosters empathy, and connects us in ways that transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries. Beyond its emotional resonance, art also plays a critical role in childhood development and education, nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. In essence, art is not just a part of life; it is what makes us distinctly human, adding color, depth, and meaning to our existence. follow us for more posts about #art #fineart #printing

🟥 𝑺𝑪𝑰𝑬𝑵𝑪𝑬𝑺 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝑹𝑻: 𝑨𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒆𝒛𝒛𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒕 【"】If you refuse to study anatomy, the arts of drawing and perspective, the mathematics of aesthetics, and the science of color, let me tell you that this is more a sign of laziness than of genius. ― Salvador Dalí 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅: Colored plates from Gautier D’Agoty's Essai d’Anatomie (1745) [Credits: Internet Archive; The Public Domain Review] These extraordinary illustrations were produced in 1745 by French anatomist, painter, and printmaker Jacques Fabien Gautier D’Agoty (1711-1786), and form a remarkably detailed atlas of the head, neck, and shoulder areas of the human body, with explanatory text in French. The scenes were based on cadavers dissected by French anatomist Joseph Guichard Duverney (1648-1730) and made using the mezzotint method. Mezzotints are produced by rocking a toothed tool over a metal plate to create tiny holes that hold ink. The roughened surface is then polished to varying degrees of smoothness, thus reducing ink-holding capacity, and creating subtly darker and lighter tones. Colored mezzotinting was invented in 1719 by Gautier D’Agoty’s master, Jaques Christophe Le Blon, and involves making three separate impressions (of blue, yellow, and red ink). Since the mezzotint technique is quite labor-intensive, it had largely fallen out of favor by the twentieth century. As the Internet Archive description explains: “Most often used to reproduce paintings by famous artists, mezzotint printing was rarely used for original works of art, making the ‘Essai d’Anatomie’ a work of great scientific and artistic significance. The original copy of the ‘Essai d’Anatomie’ held by the Rudolph Matas Library of the Health Sciences at Tulane University was restored, bound, and digitized by William Kitchens. The restoration work was completed on May 6, 2008. These remarkable anatomical images from the 18th century provide a fascinating look into both the artistic and scientific climate of the period.” 🖋️𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗱𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗮, 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝘁, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 #peopleandculture #sciencesandart #anatomy #artbasedlearning #artforthemind #scientificplates #mezzotints #visualstorytelling #lifelonglearning #alternativelearning #learningreimagined
