bio
My name is Mark, I am attending The Seattle Art Institute. My interest is in the Industrial Design Technology program. Model making I think for me is were it is at “Model Madness” At this point, working with my hands, developing a product or thing and being able to touchy feel-it is were my passion is.

midterm
Toilet Graffiti Art coming soon!!

in-class writing
Art Walk

The Raven is what is represented on the manhole cover

What was the least “public” piece of art you saw today, and why? It would have to be “Washington Sate Roll of Honor”. First of all it is on the back side of Benaroya Hall, appreciated from afar it seemed dark and uninviting when you are in the park it self.

Did you see anything you would not define as art, and Why? The red wall is probably the least artsy even though the red glass was cool but the water was not running at the time to get the real effect the designer was looking for the viewers to see.

What was something interesting you saw that was not officially on the tour? I would like to add the antique shop. It is located 1400 Alaskan Way, called Seattle Antique Market. Just looking at the art of the past like the old furniture.

What have I learned? The first thing that comes to mine is the relationship with my midway project toilet graffiti the NON-SACTIONED ART. I really enjoyed that project were the meaning of the are is right in your face. And learning to have tolerance in this type of expression of art. Realizing that Sanctioned art its what I like the most of all which give me the opportunity to define my own interpretation with might not always be rite, but most enjoyable. What have I have left to learn? It would have to be more understanding of the parameters the beginning and ending, that individuals like Andy Goldsworthy and Christo Jenne Claude their processes of creating art like theirs. Do I feel prepared in the continuation of my studies at this point? I think so I wish, I had this class at the vary beginning. The class has giving me a good outline to study the use of art if it is public art or for me particularity commercial for Industrial Design. How did I contribute to the experiences of other students in this class? I hope that everyone enjoyed my efforts of the smiley faces and showing that it is ok to allow the project to evolve and creating something may be a little cooler like plastering the billboard with smiley faces and actually seeing them disappear slowly. Something I would do different would be for my final is have an email link so that the community was allowed to post their smiley faces, with that I may not be done with this project. My three words for the quarter are “Mistakes are good” Thanks Mark
