Martin Analysis

-
I decided to tackle my project on Martin Cabello III.  If you watch his videos, you can see a lot of what he says can be taken out of context.  If you really listen to him though, you can hear the genuinity of his voice.  This relates to McLuhan when it states, "At the high speeds of electric communication, purely visual means of apprehending the world are no longer possible; they are just too slow to be relevant or effective."  Whenever Martin speaks, you have to pay attention what he has to say because while at first it seems confusing, once you breakdown what he is saying you can understand.  A lot of his stuff though is very bizarre, but at the same time poetic like the following line, "Helly Hansen makes me hella handsome while I lend a helping hand son, because honesty and integrity are a part of their corporate policy."  I thought the only way to understand Martin is if I became him:

Maeve Jackson Artist Talk

I thought the artist talk by Maeve Jackson was interesting and that she was able to tie her art with the experiences that it came from in the first place. Her first gallery analyzed the idea of care-taking. She uses herself as the subject when the art in the first gallery aims at the medium of filmmaking. She explains that she was the director, editor, and performer because she was exploring how she could make the work by herself. This explores ideas of human autonomy which is seen in The Medium is the Massage. A McLuhan quote from the book that would connect to her art would be, "We employ visual and spatial metaphors for a great many everyday expressions" (117). These visual and spatial metaphors can be seen primarily in the gallery in which the art is held. The first gallery is in a darker space with two screens displaying her art while the second gallery is in an all-white room depicting her photos and two sculptures in the middle of the room. The second gallery was more

Hello!

Hello, my name is Joshua Stinebrink.  I am currently a studio arts major at Lawrence University.  I am a Hawaiian illustrator and I hope to have fun in this class! I was born and raised in Kenosha, Wisconsin, but in the last 5 years I moved to Hawaii to connect more with my culture.  I was able to get a better understanding of my values, ho'omau and kuleana.  Ho'omau means to preserve and perpetuate and kuleana means your responsibility.  I believe it is my kuleana to give back to my community by producing art that represents our people. I hope to inform and educate people about our culture.  Representation is one of the most important things we need and can be achieved if we continue to show people our culture. I still don't know what to do with my art right now but in the future, I hope to be an illustrator that works at independent studios.  If I can get experience there, I feel I'll be able to get a better understanding of how the industry works and at the same
