1980's Bicycles
The art I have chosen is the world’s largest bicycle at a roundabout. Located in my hometown Jeddah. Now I love this bicycle since I was a child because I was a bicycle lover. Anyway, this bicycle was built in 1984 and it is one of the most famous landmarks in the city of Jeddah. The height of this bicycle is about 42 feet.
They intended to use Steel to build this bicycle, which is my favorite material to make a very special piece of art. I like Steel in art because Steel can stand against most of the natural conditions that may occur in the city. Also Steel shows the age on the peice art over the years. From the composition of the art you will notice that this bicycle was designed to the 1980’s bicycles.

    Cullen Sculpture Garden Analysis

    Far from trying to transcend the natural setting, the sculpture seems to already be beaten and worn by the elements. It is a slab of stone, slightly curved. It is corten steel, with different colors of black, blue, purple, white, and various other grainy shades. Of all the pieces in the garden, this one seems least like a piece of art, and more like a misplaced piece of décor. The most surreal of the pieces in the garden is Frank Stella’s Decanter. It is metal affixed to a straight backdrop. There is a broad silver ring, with a backdrop of twisting blackness, and striped triangles created in such a way that they seem to have the depth of cones. Lastly that stood out is David Smith’s Two Circle Sentinel. It is a myriad of square sheets, curving scraps, and two circular adornments. The “sentinel” resides on a square podium. Outside the ridges of metal cast dramatic shadows on the steel, and it would no doubt look amazing in the rain, with water running down one ridge to the…

    Heart Teapot: Hostage Metamorphosis Ii

    This piece has many different elements like a heart, brain, and metal. The heart is the base of the shape, he uses the hearts veins as the handle and spout. On the top of teapot where the lid is, it looks like a brain. The veins of the heart look like they’re made from metal and there many spots on the “heart” that are covered with a metal chain. The veins are made to look like they have been put together with bolts . The heart looks texturally like a heart, but still has a metal like quality to it also. The texture of the brain looks how I believe a brain would be like. The whole piece is a grey color which helps to give the illusion that it was made from metal rather than clay. With it being in the shape of the heart it is an oversize heart, I would say it probably double the size of a normal heart. The artist mixed organic and industrial very well.…

    The one piece that I did not understand was the one below both of the pictures. It resembles butcher paper that was crumbled up into a square and spray painted by black spray paint. To some it could look very interesting but to others it can be just something anyone can do at their homes. When I felt the art work however, it felt metal but did not seem very heavy. It does create this confusion to how it was made therefore, it does leave me a bit interested.…

    Motorcycles Diaries

    Walter Salles’ film, The Motorcycle Diaries, concerns the choices of two South American men, Ernesto “Che” Guevara and Alberto Granado on a physical and inner journey through South America. They were faced with choosing between helping the people of South America and looking after themselves as they scrape by throughout their perilous expedition, for example; when Ernesto and Alberto meet the man near the side of the lake and they inspect the lump on his neck and Ernesto is more concerned of the health of the man whereas Alberto is more concerned with sleeping somewhere and tells the man that it is nothing when it is in fact a tumour shows that Alberto was choosing petty things over the welfare of the people he was meeting and the exact opposite for Ernesto.…

    History Of The Bauhaus Movement

    The Bauhaus movement reconstructed the design and production of modern furniture by starting the use of steel as frames and supports for tables, chairs, sofas and even lamps. The use of machine made and steel tubing creating simplified forms contributed to the look of Bauhaus furniture. Bauhaus insisted on using only primary colors, red, blue and yellow. The color palette was combined with very simple geometric shapes that led to an evident ideology of what the Bauhaus designs should resemble.…

    ART ESSAY TERM 3

    Marcel Duchamp’s ready-made called “Bicycle Wheel”1913 can support that artists are no longer the makers of their art but have become manages and coordinators. The purpose of making or managing and coordinating the artwork “Bicycle Wheel”1913 was to break the traditional meaning of what an artwork is. Duchamp’s artwork “Bicycle Wheel”1913 consists of materials; a bicycle wheel, stool and a fork. The ordinary bicycle wheel and the fork were placed on top of the stool and were named a work of art by Duchamp. There is controversy on whether Duchamp is the creator of the artwork or merely just the manager and coordinator of the piece. Taking the post-modern frame into consideration, the traditional criteria of what an artwork is or what an artwork should be does not apply in the context of this artwork by Duchamp. Therefore it can be said that artists are more so the manages and coordinators of their art rather than being the actual makers of their art. This can also be seen in another ready-made of Marcel Duchamp, “Fountain”1917.…
