Lynda Benglis
The artist's process was ordering 500 pounds of paint in different colors and using vats of rubber latex and pouring them on wax and on to the floor. She did some of this on her studio floor and on other larger studio floors just to see where the paint would go and what patterns and shapes it would make.
The author is comparing her art and the process of it to women, cooking and mixing. The artist says that cooking involves mixing chemicals and tasting and art is the same way.
The final outcome is interesting because it is made up of wax, latex and dried paint, it looks like a dried up spill and it also looks like clay when it is mixed up. It is large in one area and then it becomes smaller which shows the direction of the spill.

Homework#2
The Immature Conception
Guido Reni
Italian Bologna 1627
The artist of this painting is attempting to bear witness of the Virgin Mary
Mary is being viewed as a saint, two angels and people surrounding her appearing as clouds are looking at her angelically.
Oil on canvas
It tells the story of how Mary was viewed during that time period.
It was creative how the clouds weren't just clouds they were also heads of people.
The Vine 1921,1923,1924
Hariet Whitney Frishmuth
The artist bare witness to the period where women danced in great numbers
The work was sculptured out if bronze
The artist communicates the work visually by showing the elegance of dancing
The artist sculptures the model dancing stretching upward and outward in imitation of a living vine.
The Vine most directly relates to ideas of beauty because it is a sculpture of a nude woman who shows elegance in dancing and that is the ideal beauty. The artist uses the elements scale and proportion and rhythm. The artist sculptured it life size that it will appear more real, almost as if the sculpture was dancing in front of you.
The Vine represents the cultural standards of Beauty because it is a nude women with the ideal body and it is pleasing to the eye. Th artist expresses physical beauty. It is an intellectualized version of beauty because the way the sculptured was mask was so eloquently
and it has a flow which makes it calm.
If I were to remake the sculpture I would not make that much of a difference because my idea of beauty is a thing or person that is capturing to the eye and this sculpture is very eye capturing.

Homework #1
One thing I would like people to know about me is that I am a very insightful person. That makes me interesting because I can imagine almost exactly what it feels like to be in another persons shoes. That is probably one of the few reasons why my friends look to me for guidance in different situations even if I had no experience in the situation myself.
If there was one thing I would want to bear witness to is would be the at the time of my birth. I would like to see if it is true that the way that I was born id related to the way I am today or if it plays a part in my characteristics. My mother told me when I was being delivered that I would not want to come out and when I did I took my sweet time. I feel like that relates to me today because I like to take my time with anything I do and the part about me not coming out relates to the my characteristic of being stubborn.
