1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned. From the first video I learned about the process of creating a sculpture from scratch. How the sculptor comes up with an idea, makes a small scale version of the sculpture in clay, and how months later after it's been worked on by many more sculptors it becomes a full size, detailed sculpture. I also found it interesting how the history of gathering stone from the quarry was carved into marble walls. From the second video I learned how glass and ceramic are given shape and the vast use of both of them in all kind of fields, from tableware to windows to spacecrafts. 2.

1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo. Creating a logo proved to be a challenge because you have to make it appealing but at the same time it needs to be simple. 2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation. I tried to use my initials as the main part of the logo. I tried to make them like they blend into each other but then I realized that it doesn't have any meaning. I study computer information systems so I thought I could incorporate some elements from that in my logo. The bottom 2 sketches are my ideas for that, one is more electronic looking and the other is supposed to be a command line but I don't think it looks good as a logo. 3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo? That a logo must be simple and memorable, a cluttered logo can work if the composition is good but it is difficult to do that as it is not supposed to be a painting.  4. What is the most importa...

A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why? One of the art pieces that impressed me is called "This is not a fountain" by Subodh Gupta, from the new exposition called "We the People". This piece was created in 2011-13 and it is made up of old aluminum utensils, water, painted brass taps, PVC pipes, and a motor. The artist collected the pots and pans from families all over India, and their accumulated dents and scratches speak speak about the economic reality and daily lives of their former owners. Gathered in a pile as if discarded by many people at once they also represent the ongoing migration in the country from rural to more urban areas. This piece impressed me with its unconventional media and the scale of the whole piece. It occupies the center area of a very large hall and it's the main piece in the room. Another piece that impressed me was titled " Le feu d'artifice" (Fireworks), by James Ensor. The Painting was...
