Subversion through recolonizing

Notes on video;

Unity in diversity shines throughout Sofia's work, myths legends, etc she gets from her Maori culture and links them to other cultures, and combines them together in her pieces. Some of her works are named after Maori goddesses. She wants them to be seen as more of their ancestors.

Piece of her work: Twelve Heavens

Brief description: This painting used the effect of replicating the same image around in

a circle, it really gives a slight feel of the gate that isn't human but a

reflection of time going by. The white complements the black greatly and in the pattern, it kind of gives the feel of it warping out of the white canvas.  It also gives the feel of a clock or an animation reel.

Does it show Subversion and so

Subversion is shown in the many repetitions of the same person in the circle making it stand out and out of the ordinary. as it put standing out of the page in the ring. as it gives the feel of it being a focal point opening up.

Burning forest

Today in class I watched a video about a burning forest burning for 60 seconds. In this video was posted in 2018 the location not shown that I know was marveled by the flames. I watched this video due to recently answering a quiz jokingly, as one of the places you want to go to. Burning forest.  Even though burning foresty is not a good thing, the colour in this scene is a beautiful colour with yellow, orange, pink, and the blueish purple.  How it changed over time was unexpected to these colours their vibrant nature when night came around it really showed. This screenshot is taken 46 seconds in. This is the link. (there is no commentary I believe)

Subversion as a compositional framework 

Each individual thing is either relating to one each other or confronting/battling the other than many squares surrounding the word 'gossip' small fish, triangles, and korus are used in many different ways. The colours used are different tones of red and orange and hints of white and black in the mix. the first thing I look at is the swirls clashing with one and another. the objects that are used seem to be random a mixture of three things, fish, triangles, korus and swirls. To me, this artwork gives a feeling a very different feel with the word gossip as some of the many squares could relate to that as the way they are being presented. like chatter, separating as in linking to how the fish are presented by. as for the many swirls in the bottom left corner represent the presence of gossip in a way. and the many triangles could represent the sharpness of the chatter. 

Lord loss - Darren Shan

There a book that I have wanted to read, the title is called Lord loss by Darren Shan, this book but it is a book that has been recommended to me, and a book that I have been interested in, it is about a werewolf-thing. A family cursed to be werewolves. and they have to break the curse from the demon I believe. A bit of the blurb on the back: The door feels red hot, as though a fire is burning behind it. i press an ear to the wood but there is no crackle. no smoke. just deep heavy breathing... and a curious dripping sound. (blood)

brief noting of the article - Subversion of Art

art is meant to subvert, it is a pure expression of a subjective way/an interpretation of seeing the world in each individual perspective. if everyone likes your art you are doing something wrong and if people dislike that means you are apparently doing something right. it meant to mess and unsettle some people and get an argument or conversation out of people or a reaction started about a controversial issue of sorts.

Tracey Tawhiao - Art piece

The panels and blues give it a feel pushing the gold out the most, the gold makes the fish stand out out the most and be the most noticeable at a first look I believe it is also tied with the arrow-like fern, but the dark blue really makes the gold stuck out compared to the lighter blues used of the left. there is a small text located of both side but I, unfortunately, I cannot read them. I believe the text will help give a different feel to the perspective of the art piece, at a first glance

How is subversion demonstrated?

it can give thoughts of confusion the many squares gives a feel of overlapping, as the arrow point in a different direction, trying to reach somewhere with the use of primary color mixed in. trying to be more seen than one each other it looks like they are constantly overthrowing one and each other. like ones trying to more concentrated than the other.

Art Subject matter (Moon board)

 In Art, we have begun looking forward and researching and gathering art pieces from artists we are interested in doing a different concept. out of the four options to based the collection of similar art pieces I have chosen it to be based around Sofia Minson. I have been leaning towards the themes around the environment and spiritual/cultural.

today we have been working on a slideshow that is presented below this text.
