Art Portfolio 2018

The general idea of this presentation was to raise recognition for people called catadores .  These are people who go around their towns/cities collecting recyclable materials.  They then bring these materials to a junkyard to sell for low prices.  Mundano, a street artist, took to his graffiti artwork to the Carroças.  Carro ças are carts that are made out of either wood or metal.  He did this because he wanted to raise awareness for the catadores.  Eventually, he began a crowdfunded event called "Pimp My Carro ças."  This is where the catadores are able to get their carro ças renovated, access different types of professionals, and gain protective wear. My personal thoughts on this concept of using art to raise awareness for someone(s)/something(s) is a very positive.  I believe that there are many effective ways for raising awareness for a cause.  I think that visuals such as art is one of the more effective ways.  I believe this because art can grab people's interest

A diptych was originally two paintings that were hinged together.  These were often of religious origins.  When a triptych is applied to photography is when three images are displayed in one photo, or three separately framed images presented very closely together.  This diptych uses variety.  There are a variety of different colors and the I like the rhythm that it has. This triptych has a good example of contrast.  There is contrast between all the different colors.  The colors make each other stand out, and pleases the eye.

An example of a piece of artwork that moves is of the Rube Goldberg contraptions.  The contraptions make one reaction trigger the next one until the final task is completed.
