I really liked creating a logo, throughout the whole process I had to really think hard about things that represent who I am as a person. And then what would be that "logo" it took alot of tries but I really like what i have come up with. My logo has many meanings throughout it. Its very special to me.
For the process that i used to start my logo i used the method in Basic design link. This is where I got the idea to make a list of things that represent me as a person. Then after that it was alot of doodling till i came out with something that I really like.
The most important thing I learned in creating a logo was that its not as easy as it looked in the video. It takes serious thinking and creativeness on your part.
I really liked the videos they described the making of their logo look very simple and it was also very cool to watch as they were being created. The basic design link was also very helpful it helped me in getting started with my logo. All the materials that you gave us really helped me in either getting started or helped in the finishing process.

Art Gallery
http://s908.photobucket.com/albums/ac281/cherylrober/Art%20Gallery/?albumview=slideshow
The piece of artwork that made a impact or impression on me was the graphite pencil drawing on paper and then how the artist designed the graphite pencil paper into a sculpture just made a huge impression on me. the way the artist used just pencil and paper in the art work was very extraordinary.
Another piece of art work that made an impact on me was Barnaby Furnas's "Flood". I love this painting i wish i could have bought it and took it home. It made a huge impact on me the way the colors where used and just how it looked personally.
The painting that i felt a connection with is the La Source de la love by Gustave Courbet. It just had a unexplored cave that looked beautiful yet who knows what lurked inside.
The other painting i felt connected to was the one by Sandra Cinto the "Tempest in Red" this painting just made me feel like the things going on in my life.
The two artists I would like to know more about and see more of there art work are the art pieces by Anne Spalter, "Fractvie from a series Internal Energies" and Jennifer Steinkamp's Untitled computer video. These pieces where very different from the traditional forms and i would just like to know more about the artists and how they came up with their art work and what they go through to produce a piece of art.

Color and value
http://s908.photobucket.com/albums/ac281/cherylrober/color/?albumview=slideshow
I really liked creating the value scale and color wheel. I felt like a little like a artist getting ready to paint a master piece. Making the color also became a family event as my daughters all wanted to make one too. It was very fun.
However the value scale was a little trickier in getting the grays just right to go to a lighter shade.
The most important discovery I made in creating these studies is that its not as easy as it looks. It takes time to get the value scale just write and the color wheel sometimes your colors don't look like the video did at all and then you have to start over.
The most important thing i learned from the videos is that what i really did think were primary colors were not and that is very hard to take in and rethink again. I liked the videos they were not draw out but straight to the point and educational.

Reflection Journal
http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac281/cherylrober/schoolproject043.jpg
Elements of Design:
I chose a line in a parking lot to describe a line because it is exactly that a straight line.
For shape I chose a stop sign. The stop sign is a hexagon shape which is geometric.
For Forms I chose a entrance post to a cemetery which held up a giant round ball. This ball was diffidently a three-dimensional shape. Expressing depth length and width.
Space I chose a fish swimming in a lake. It expressed open space referring to the feeling of depth.
Color expressed in hues and intensity, I chose two flowers with the same color but in different hues and intensity's to show the differences.
For texture I tried to show the texture of a grave stone and how the artist carved out a tree with the families name on it.
Principles of Design:
In Balance i used a sculpture of a women on her knees to show the form and how she designed to feel staple.
In Emphasis I Chose my photo of a boat on the ocean floor as the tide went out. The emphasis is on the boat not the landscape or the lack of water.
Movement I chose the ripple in the water to show how the water is moving.
Pattern I chose a line of evergreens and how their shape and design was the same creating a pattern among them.
In repetition I chose a picture of a cemetery and all the grave stones that repeat throughout the cemetery.
Proportion, I chose again the sculpture of the women and how all her body portions where very real and almost life like.
For Rhythm i chose a picture a picture of a child on the marry go round, this to me created organized movement for me.
Variety, I chose a picture of a child on a playground that expressed lines, color, proportion allowing the audience to look at her the colors the landscape and more.
In Unity I chose a rainbow. This to me expresses everything that art is beautiful and at times full of color.

Color and its effect on emotion.
Emotions are responsive to color. The responses are both culturally conditioned and intensely personal. Cool colors which are blues are associated with freedom and calming in the American perception of art. However blue in other countries are the colors of god or linked to sadness. Different colors mean different things to people. Depending on their background and social beliefs colors can mean all different things to people.
The most theoretical aspect of color that most fascinates me is color properties. So many different effect of a color can be made from hue, value and intensity.Because of these unique properties a art work can take a colorful or not so colorful stand.
In the color video as the artist tried to create a masterpiece, but her colors did not do what she wanted them to do. She had much trouble getting them to create a emotion within herself that satisfied her in a finished piece of art work. The way her emotion became anger at the painting was unique in the way the colors effected her.
In the feelings video the biggest impact on me was how the two artists were similar until there perceptions of life and the world changed how a painting can change so drastically. It was so disturbing to see how Goya took such a drastic way of thinking about the world and put it on canvas. But it was nice to see David think of the world as clarity and good. I also found interesting that in med-evil time paintings were of god, in Renascence time paintings were about humanity in god and in the enlightenment world humanity was instead of god. Just a great video overall, learned things i had no idea about. :)

Videos
For the first video on Aesthetics I found it to be very educational. I never new that the aesthetics of Art had developed in the way of philosophers. It all started with Plato from the fourth century BC. He believed that art in itself was a copy of a copy. Plato said that art was ideas that consisted of no aesthetics. However Aristotle had a different view of art in a somewhat mathematical science. His ideas where very different from Plato's. Francis Hutchenson of the 18th century brought about ideas in our soul by beauty and harmony. His idea of art expressed the meaning of Aesthetics. But I really connected to Immnnuel Kant ideas of art that through the genus nature sets rules to art. I also connected to Fricddrich von Schider from the 18th century, He also connected the aesthetics of art can be truly expressed more through education of aesthetics. Geory Hrgel from the 19th century had a great aesthetic view of art as well by expressing the intuition of the spirit and that beauty is defined as the appearance or the the sensible reflection. There are more philosophers theory but these are just some to which i connected with or learned something interesting about them.
For the second video the key concept i learned was the definition of art. The way the artifacts and human productions are recognized as works of art is very educational to me. How the professor explained distinct forms of language, nonverbal communication to be a work of art is also very interesting. I also like how he showed the chauvet and explained that art is a constant evolution.
I liked listening to ramachandran his ideas where educational and humours. I enjoyed his theory including the eight laws of art however only really agreed with the fact that art is a metaphor.
Both Changeux and Ramachandran had great scientific views on art i only agreed with certain parts of there lectures.
The videos were very educational and related to the readings of the text book.
I found the videos very interesting in how they express the scientific view of art, they explored a part of realizing the way aesthetics came into play with art.
In video one John Dewey of the 20th century was a little of base i think by saying "feeling aroused by a work of art are not purely a personal experience but that they must be of a universal nature". Because are can be a personal experience and not everyone must feel the same way even if it is a historical piece of art.

1. How was the process of creating the GMail account and setting up the Blog?
I thought the process of creating a G Mail account was very simple and the directions were very self explanatory. However in creating a blog I find this difficult, unless I am successful.
2. What do you expect to learn in this course?
I hope to learn alot from this class, I don't know much about art, but hope to be able to talk about it intelligently.
3. How do you feel about taking an online course? I feel ok with taking a online course, I have taken three before. However yours is a little harder to navigate but i am trying my best.
