My Earth Project

Lauren Bon was my inspiration to create my earth project. I want to conserve nature  to enjoy a world where nature has not been destroyed. This experience was very exciting because Quyn and I to plant seeds together. Not only did we plant seeds, but also mix different kinds of seeds to create many different flowers in one pot.
                     This is me opening the dirt bag to fill the pots with dirt.
Next, I was making sure that all the dirt was mix and the pot had enough dirt. 
Im putting the seed in the pot
Im putting the seeds inside the pot
Now that I have all the seeds inside the pot, I will water them.
Im watering the seed so they can start to grow
I am finishing watering all the pots and making sure they have enough water.

This is the end of our earth project.

Doing this earth project really made me appreciate and conserve nature. Going to Farmlab tought me to take care of the planet because if we do not take care of the planet, the planet will eventually extinct because we humans are destrying it with all the fires that we provoque in the mountains, the chemicals that we put in the environment that harm our seas, our nature. We spend so much on water, when we could conserve water when it rains. I know that by adding plants to this planet, I will make this planet a better place to live. I will also save a plant. After, I live my art class, I will try to do more earth projects that involve preserving nature and making it a better planet. For some reason, this last project was my favorite project because It really goes with who I am. I am a caring person and I want this world to be preserved and helped. it also showed many artists that also care about this planet.

Improv Everywhere

I think Improv Everywhere is such an amazing camera. This improv took place in New York City in the Ride on the Subway in 2009. It s very interesting to see people with no pants but the reaction of the people in the subway. People do not know that all the people with no pants are doing a prank to see the reaction of people. It is interesting to see the gender differences reactions. For example, the men are king of excited seeing the womes legs and they women seeing all these people are just in shock because they do not know the reason why they are taking their pants off. The children are also starring at these people because they do not know what is happening. Most of the people are amazed and they just stand there to see these people from head to toe like if they were insane. Its fun to discover the different reactions of people because that way we will now that we are all thinking something different when we see these men ann women with no pants.

Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood is a British fashion designer for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions. West wood fashions dresses are a little bit different than the dresses of Hussein Chalayan and Donatella Versace which I showed a while ago. To start, the color of the dress in entirely different from the colors of the dresses we go see when we go look for dresses. The color of the dress has two patterns, the first pattern is a aqua blue and the second patern is brown. The two color patterns go by squares. This pattern is not very outgoing for fromal dresses. However, this is the art of this dress, the pattern an the uniqeness. Next, the dress is very puffy. In this world, the only place we would take a puffy dress would be eighter in a weeding or a fifteen birthday party. However, the paterns of the colors and the puffyness makes this dress look so casual. It doesnt even look like is made for a big event. The top of the dress is top less, which makes it even more outgoing. However, top less dress wuld always look good on someone who has alot of personality. Maybe someone who would belong to a rock band would defenitely look gorgeous in this dress. This dress shows alot of patterns, and very uncommon colors that people would wear. But shows a creation of something not so repetetitive that we are all use to see when we go look at dresses.

Donatella Versace

Donatella Versage is an Italian fashion designer and a current Vice President of the Versage group, as well as the chief designer. These are Versage's two of the most resent dresses she has design for the spring. Lets start with the dress in the left side. The dress in the left side is a long green dress. The dress is simple with no decoration, flowers, or any kind of accesories to stand out the dress. The color green and the curves of the model stand out the dress. The dress in the top, have to strings that cross to each other and perhaps tie on back of the model's back. However, even thoe the dress in the left and in the right look almost the same, they are very different. The dress in the right is short, the color is a silky green, and covers the models chest entirely. The dress ends on top of the models legs, which is considered short. In the weist, the dress has a belt that is the same color of the dress with a small button stick to it. That might be the decoration of the dress. The dress in the right also has less wrinkles than the dress in the left side. A dress also makes a difference in the shape of the model. Since the model in the right side has a thinner waist, the dress looks more flat. The dress in the right side looks very formal like for a weeding or a prom and the dress in the left looks more casual. However, both dresses are very simple, nice, and stay in the fashion of 2011.

Hussein Chalayan

Hussein Chalayan is a British/ Turkish fashion Designer who graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1993. In 2007, Hussein Chalayan created this fascinating bubble dress. This bubble dress, has see thru bubbles that vary in size. For example, the bubbles at the top of the dress are bigger than the bubbles around the models stomach. The bubbles are also attached to to these silver string that make the dress. The silver strings are worn by the model vertically and horizontal. The silver strings, also seem to be covering the models breast and the bubbles. There are many bubbles in the dress, the bubbles are made out of plastic and they can also be made out of ballons. The silver strings also seem to be matching the models skin tone. The see thru bubbles seem to show most of the skin of the person who is wearing the dress. The dress looks more like a costume because is something that stands out and something outgoing to wear to a fun place. It is a very creative dress, because we do not see people wearing this dresses everday in our society. Therefore, Chalayan did a remarkable job creating this dress.

Robert Smithson

Robert Smithson was famous for his land art. Most of his work is on land and its all spiral. This is a spiral Jetty that was created in Salt Lake, Utah in 1970. It seems like Smithson created this spiral jetty out of salt rocks, mud, basalt rocks, and water. The spiral jetty is about 1,500 long and 15 foot wide. The spiral jetty seems to go counterclockwise and it seems to be very visible in the shore of the salt lake. The level of the water seems to be low because you could see the spiral in the lake. However, according to some research that I did the water level seem to be risen. Therefore, within the next years this spiral jetty might not be able to be seen anymore. The spiral jetty also looks like a track where people can walk on it. It also looks like a place where someone can take a walk in the afternoon an experience the view of the Great Salt Lake. Smithson used about 6,550 tons of rocks, this piece of art cost around 9,000 dollars. Also, this piece of construction took around six days. This is a very interesting piece of art because its composed of rocks and mud and all the things that nature provides for us without using any kind of chemicals. The water around the spiral jetty are red and this is due because of the chemicals the water has.

James Turell

James Turell is an American artist who is concerned with light ans space. Turell is also famous for creating light tunnels, and projections that create that have mass weight and their only created with light. One of Turell creations that really capture my attention are Turell skyscapes.To create this skyscape, Turell had to cut the roof of a museum in the shape of a circle so the view of the sky could be seen through the cut circle. After the circle is cut the light from the sky reflect back through the circle inside the museums wall and floors which makes part of Turell work. If you look up through the cut circle you could see the view of the sky, clouds whether its a rainy day or sunny day.
Through the circle you could experience many other things other than the view of the sky. For example, you can see the things flying in the sky, and the different shapes the clouds have. Also, you can see when the sky is turning into a darker color or a lighter color. In many cases, the sun can also be seen through the circle. It all depends the season and the time of the day in which the sky is been seen through the circle. The light of the sky is reflected through the museum walls which makes the light be original. In this picture, we can see how the light of the light is reflected inside and in the shape of a circle.
