Art should be enjoyable, and tell your story and never give up

These are really helpful questions to ask yourself if you plan on making a series of artworks.

What creates a well-defied set of parameters? How would you know what is to hard and what is too easy in the process of making multiple variations of your piece?

Elizabeth views making a sculpture as a learning experience. The more you do this kind of work, the faster you get.

About how many of each piece would we make in order to effectively improve?

How would you eventually develop and know what your signature style is? what if you don't enjoy that style of art as much as something else?

Does this text imply that you should do multiple pieces for EVERY work you create in order to improve? Wouldn't it be better to create only one piece and make it perfect in one shot t improve?

She uses material of lower quality in her art work to reflect the materials people who live in poor areas have to work with when they build their homes

I can really relate to this because this is somewhat along the lines of what we're learning in school. This year in art we're really focusing on self-expression and how to show ourselves within our artwork. I like this quote because it displays what art is really about, our ideas embodied in one piece.

But many artists don't get get the recognition they deserve. I believe its all about luck

Art is a way that people express their ideas without being judged by others.

Elizabeth uses things she finds from her environment to make sculptures and works of art.

This reminds me of when students ask how to get better at drawing. By practicing drawing, you gradually get more comfortable and improve your drawing skills.

Does everyone accept all forms of art?

Elizabeth uses line in her 3-D art works because she was influenced by artists' drawing from the past that use line.

Art does not only have to consist of paintings but art is basically anything that you create. Art is when you use your imagination or skills.

In order for an artist to create the "perfect" work, they need to patiently approach the work in different styles with different versions of the piece. This allows the artist to understand his or her signature style.

He makes these quilts for a specific group of people and he does not conform to what people outside the group care about

By traveling all over the world, Venom is exhibiting his artwork to inspire people. Also, he does not only travel around the world to show the people his skills, but to get motivated from the designs of different cultures.

Venom is using his quilts to create stories and symbols. This shows how a piece of fabric can develop meaning. Quilts are usually plain and an old piece of fabric, but by adding pictures and symbols, it gives off a new meaning for creating quilts.

The particular style of art that is being discussed in this article is punk rock. Venom supports punk rockers by creating quilts, which is a padding enclosed between layers of fabric. Quilts are typically applied in a decorative design. Venom was motivated from the ancient way of creating quilts.

Based on this article, the KQED Art School have asked many public artists to state a style of music that is recognizable and unique. Also, it is implied that the public artists are asked on how they developed their personal style. The question that was asked to these public artists was how they were able to develop their personal style.

The way he grew up influenced what he does for a living because most of his teen life he spent listening to punk rock in peoples garages backyards and homes in general. The way that local bands created their own merchandise and made their own displays made him understand how he could portray his own ideas on quilts.

This was influenced by the women who would make quilts out of mens old clothes. It is good to reuse materials and it helps him create more quilts at less expense to him.

Your style in art, describes aspects of your personality. It describes your interests. For example this artist was influenced by many punk merchandise that was sold often in his childhood.

This reminds me of an exhibition of Pablo Picasso's Las Meninas that I saw over the summer. Pablo Picasso drew about fifty paintings of his interpretation of the original las meninas painting and by doing this, he created a unified theme and I assume analyzed the painting thouroughly but for the viewer it was just mass obsession and repetition

This is arguably the author's most important point. What our author explains is that this is geared towards the professional artist, not the simple layman artist. Our narrator explains that the average art buyer wants something to appeal to them easily. In a way, he expresses the cynical world of artselling. If you want to make money sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do.

Bamberger explains that by creating a series of artworks we can better understand a single one, thanks to association. This makes me question, what does he think of great paintings like the Mona Lisa which seem to have no predecessor nor follower?

Do the artists need to submit all of the pieces that they were working on? or just the one that they think best defines themselves?

Making a art work needs to be inspired by something and needs to be where it comes from.

Artists have to make their art work be able to make the people looking at the art work and explore the things that are going on in the art work that was created.

I definitely agree with this idea, however doesn't it make more sense that when an artist is going through a certain thing and the only way to express themselves is through art and whenever they want to make something, they should

For me this slightly backwards. Great paintings and peices of art should be able to tell you everything they mean in one work. They represent one thought. perhaps that thought ended on that painting. The artist is attempting to grow and present his or her thoughts. Whether that is accomplished in one canvas or many is solely up to them

Shouldn't art be also something that you make for yourself, and that you want to express your feelings for others, instead of making it for others?

Does there always need to be a series of the same artworks? I don't think that making a series out of every work makes it unique but rather boring for viewers to have a series to decipher...

Artists creates many things but may be the same idea or a theme that allows them to create art works that people like to see. Also allows them to draw new art works.

This comment seems to show that the writer of this article believes that there are certain standards for art that comes on show. This is actually contrary to what is usually said about art. The purpose of art is usually its great outlet for interpretation. Art is supposed to mean anything you want to believe. The modern art scene leaves the idea of the artist in the studio. It ius the mystery that is shown in the show

Using a gun against someone else doesn't only affect the person it is used against. It can hurt many people around that person. People who loved the person can go into depression, and even commit suicide. Children can be affected deeply, becoming paranoid and going to gun violence themselves. I feel that people who have guns should be responsible, and if people can't do that, maybe it's better not to have guns at all.

Many people want to be able to carry guns around, but they don't realized how having a gun, and needing to use it can affect a child. If everyone was responsible enough for one, than it wouldn't be so bad. Unfortunately, there are gangs,psychopaths, sociopaths, and mentally ill people that will use guns to kill others. These experiences can hurt children a lot. If you impact a child like this, they can grow up with difficulty, and might end up the same way as the shooter they witnessed.

Gun violence is affecting the way people live their lives. People are more cautious, which isn't always bad, but they are also frightened. Living your life being scared is not a good way to live it. The fact that people are expecting to hear a shot is very scary.

Gun violence is a serious threat in the community. So many people are hurt by crazy people with guns nearly everyday.

Rodriguez uses art to describe problems around the world. It can be used as activism, and expresses her feelings. She talks about immigration and her experience, through symbols in her art. Printmaking can be reproduced and used to express ideas.

She believes that kids are paying an arm and a leg to leave home for the first time and have years in debt after their college tuition.

Because the government is not willing to spend money to protect these birds, the population has decreased by a lot.

The engineering teacher here did the most incorrect thing when it comes to handling a student. Beachers are supposed to create a safe environment for the student to learn and explore in. By hinting that this exploration was unimportant and Ahmed should be ashamed about it, he misses the point of an education

It is okay that they had a initial response but they continue to bother him. I believe this is very racist and stereotypical.

Based on this article, Ahmed's parents say that it was all a misconception, where their son got arrested. They all believe that it was a misconception because Ahmed kept insisting that it was not a bomb, but a clock. However, Ahmed was still handcuffed and brought to the police station.

This tweet or public comment seems to lack meaning to me. Clinton did the correct thing by talking about the incident since it very thoroughly shows what is wrong in some parts of the country but by attempting to address Ahmed personally, she looks like she is attempting to make a public relations post, which it is not successful at doing.

I agree with Hillary Clinton, this occurrence can really discourage someone to create inventions, it must emotionally bother this minor. If we are held back by irrelevant accusations we will not get anywhere

Why is Hillary Clinton interested in this incident?

In her tweet, what Clinton means by this is her reference to the actions of the school and police. This meaning that they might have taken this way too far considering the fact that this is only a 14 year old kid who is trying to make a cool invention

Isn't Obama trying out a highschool student's project a big deal?

Was this a huge problem for the parents, that the teacher had no experience with these subjects, and was assisting students with projects involved with subjects out of his line of work?

Who determines if something is dangerous or not? It does not seem like it is a dangerous object and could not harm anyone.

How many people does it take to detain a teacher? Was he taken off simply because one person found issue? Doesn't the PTA also have a say in this?

Personally, I think that this was a good idea- to show interest in this particular situation, especially because WITH this kind of attention he was still punished for a month, now imagine without..

If everyone in the community was supporting him, who was against him? Also, why did they allow problems to be created from this if it is easy to solve?

What are the qualifications of the teacher? Can anyone report any teacher?

Why would the teacher be punished for the wrong doing of their students?

Why was he suspended for so long? Shouldn't something like this be resolved quite quickly?

I agree that it is important to limit what students create and submit for a school science fair in order to protect other students however, doesn't this limit creativity to a certain extent?

It's a clock. It's like preventing students from bringing in cellphones, watches, or other electronic devices because it "could" be a bomb.

It's quite silly that this question is being asked because a boy invented a clock. If it was an actual bomb or another dangerous thing, it would be more understandable, but creating a clock is not something that should be off-limits. He did not present it as a dangerous item, it was the people who misunderstood him (and possibly because of his race).

This could be bad or good. It limits what people can do for a project, but ensures the safety of others.

Why can't people be smart and actually check if it was a clock or not?

Was anyone hurt during the fair or injured in any way?

He is changing the way people view others. It was wrong that just cause he was Muslim he was targeted for making a bomb. This is not fair

That could be a reason for why he was detained for his clock. It could also be because he wasn't white in a place where people of minority groups are judged harsher than whites.

Although Ahmed never mentioned anything about the clock being something else, he was still suspended. He was just trying to show something interesting that he did, and instead of encouraging and praising him for inventing something himself, they called the police and got him arrested. Then, he was suspended, even though he was not at fault.

Did the clock look threatening?

It seems harsh to detain someone who denies that he has a bomb. The thing he brought in was a clock and he shouldn't be suspended for bring that in.

Why did teachers assume that the clock was a bomb when he was simply bringing a clock to school? If he was a different ethnicity, would he still have had been arrested?
