Art Making/Material Exploration #3



A. What is an installation art?
Installation art describes an artist of any type that creates works of art the transform the perception of a specific space.

B. What materials are used installation art?
The materials used to create this can be anything. As shown in the video artist pick thier materials depending on what they wanted to portray. For example one artist used pasta for their creation.

C. Why make installation art? 
There is no concrete reason for installation art but some reason can be that the artist wants to make a statement or portray space to others in the way it is perceived to them. Lastly, installation art is created to convey a message to its audience that art can be a range of anything in sight.

D. Which artist/installation did I find most interesting?
One of the most interesting pieces of installation art that I found entertaining while watching the video was when the artist brought in the wheel. I like this because it showed the real meaning of installation, which is anything, that occupies space even a wheel in this case.

A. From the material reviewed, is there an inspiration piece that I feel a connection with?

The sculptures that were painted in purple and pink with polka dot and on the bottom were bits of pasta gave me inspiration. I found that piece most interesting because of the materials used and because of its colors. It reminds me of happy and girly colors which fits my personality and inspired my installation.

B. What theme do I want to explore in my installation? Refer to your textbook if you need to review Themes of Art.

The theme that I am exploring into would probably have to do with environment and media. I want to portray what I see around me on a daily basis and show the things that are in my surroundings that I use everyday.

C. What materials will I use?

The materials that I will be using will consist of pictures from magazines such as celebrities that inspire me with their fashion. I made a box out of the magazines to make a box to hold all of my other magazines.

D. Where will this installation be located and why?

This installation will be in my room because my room is where I spend most of my time reading my magazines. Also, the magazine holder I made fits in with my room’s girly vibe.


4. Describe your installation. Be sure to use the worksheet from Project #3 as your guide.
My installation I made my installation with rolled up magazines to create the space for my other magazines.
This also fit my colorful girl personality.

6. What are your thoughts on the planning and creation of a site specific installation?
 I liked this because I felt free and I created something that I found interesting and something that I could use on the daily basis. I also liked it because I did not feel the need to worry about if I was falling under the installation category.
