AP 3D Concentration Ideas

To be honest, I am not sure what should I do with the concentration in my art portfolio. Reviewing my own portfolio, I am thinking about umbrella projects as well as the pipe projects. However, I was told that I should come up with some more unique mediums other than papers and card boards. I have try to search on some of the ideas for pipe projects. Perhaps, I can try to create different forms and patterns and further creates spaces within my projects.

Considering the reality, pipes my be too large and will take too much time. Thus, I am thinking about something small, delicate and stunning. Before I can come up with a decent idea for my concentration I believe that I would have to do more research and look for dissimilar inspiration in my everyday life.

Artist Research - Juan Gris

I have come across Juan Gris when I was researching for my Art History project. When I entered the Chapter about cubism, I was captivated by Juan Gris and his stunning 3-dimensional like art works. With the sophisticated lines and shadings, he was able to create art works that are expressive, at the same time with depth. I am  really interested in his creation of art and how his personal life affected his style.

Juan Gris is born in Madrid, spain. Gris studied mechanical drawing at the Escuela de Artes y Manufaturas in Madrid from 1902 to 1904, during which time he contributed drawings to local periodicals. from 1904 to 1905 he studied painting with the academic artist José Maria Carbonero.

At first Gris Painted in the analytic style of Cubism, but after 1913 he began his conversation to synthetic Cubism, if which he became a steadfast interpreter, with extensive use of papier collé. Unlike Picasso and Braque, whose Cubist works were monochromatic, he painted with bright harmonious  in daring, novel combinations on the manner of his friend Matisse. colors 

This is the art work that I like the most. The Landscape with Houses at Ceret has the harmonious composition of colors and the sense of collage. It express a sense of diversity and vibrant nature of the town that Juan Gris was drawing. 

 Here are the  works of Juan Gris.

Surprises poped out from the ground

Peter Dahmen is one of the artists who I admire. He is from Germany. I really like his works with card boards.

In his works he carved and cut the paper to prom shapes. Some of his projects are white, which means pristine. Others are colored with diverse and vivid compositions of colors.

I have always wanted to do something with papers since young. I have been trying to build a building with card boards when I was young.

Above is the one that resembles color wheel. It express a feeling of harmony and peacefulness.

This is the one that combines the quality of water and fire.

Jewelry made from Junks

I was fascinated by the design of cover of +81s magazine by Lo Siento in Spain.  They utilized the plastic bubble wrap to as a medium and than inject color paints into the bubbles to create an art. This inspired me to use different approach to my project. In the future, I am planning to create art in a small units which will be composed into a larger image than it is originally. Through the patterns, shapes and colors, I am able to create diverse kind of tones and even make it into sculptures.

Here are some of the work by Lo Siento

The Sculpture that I Fell in Love with

Its a sculpture of Stampede!!!!! I saw it on an website; however I cannot find any related information of it. It is located in the Glorieta de las Jicamas at the intersection of Lopez Mateos and Niños Heroes. 

I was captivated by the motion expressed by the sculpture. It is incredibly life-like. It merges the element of realistic and impressional dynamics. This is the kind of quality that I want to recreate in my project. The liveliness as well and the dynamics. I am glad to find something that would inspire my next art work.
