Blog Entry #1: Serial Art, Repetition and Minimalism

Serial Art:

Understanding of concept: Where uniform elements or objects were assembled in accordance with strict modular principles

Feeling about this form of art: I really appreciated how the Endless Column looked, which is an example of serial art.

Thoughts/ideas from here: Making a chain of some shape to create something that raises awareness about a social issue. I need to think more about what that could be, but it was great to see this art form.

Repetition:

Understanding of concept: repeating images, elements and gestures in art works.

Feeling about this form of art: Some pieces of art work using repetition are very appealing to look at such as the Chauvet Cave linked below.

Thoughts/ideas from here: As described under serial art, i was thinking of creating repetition, which is what we intend to do in this class using different media – I’m excited for the course and our discoveries ahead. I would want to experiment with creating meaning through repetition.

Minimalism:

Understanding of concept: ‘simple’ artform based on squares and rectangles. Not mimicking what already exists – hence giving art its own meaning.

Feeling about this form of art: Take it or leave it – this is the way I feel about different art works that fall under minimalism. Some really stand out, whereas others seem very uninspiring.
