It wouldn't let me upload my two collages and two of my portraits because they were too big, and I'm not sure how to fix that..

Last Chance
Artists Anonymous by Susan Scafati Shahan

4-part Corpse drawing; Man Ray, Yves Tanguy, Joan Miro, Max Morise.
I chose this article simply because of the title. I thought that something with the title of "Artists Anonymous" would be interesting and something similar to graffiti or something along those lines. Although I was wrong, I was not disappointed.
The layout of the article was very simple and easy to follow. It is a simple white background with black lettering and photos throughout the text.
This article was about a group of "shrinky-dinks" that get together to experience art in a different way. It is open to the community. Artists Anonymous has met four times since kicking off last fall. In these meetings, they play a game called Exquisite Corpse. Exquisite Corpse is a game dating back to the early 1900's. In this game," One by one we marked up our respective folded sections, as the sounds of sketching, chatting, and laughter grew. When all sections were complete, the paper was unfolded to reveal a unified assemblage of images. Seeing the images in their entirety revealed the game’s essential charm: technique need not be as winning as wit, boldness, diversity and originality. The sheer mash up of levels, styles and personalities is what makes the game entertaining and fun." It allows them to discover and explore new and different varieties of art.
This article is very interesting to me. I feel I would actually participate in an event such as this. I think it is very creative and thought provoking. And I would learn more about art.

The layout of this article is very straightforward and simple. It has a white background with black lettering. It doesn't have a lot of text, but it has about 8 family portrait photos.
I chose this article because I enjoy looking at family portraits because everyone always looks happy.
This article focuses on family portraits, such as the ones you take on the holidays or special occasions. Smithson states in her article that photographer Jamie Diamond has a different and unique perspective of family portraits. She basically says that they are faked and posed, that the smiles and happy times are all an illusion to have a good outcome for the photo. Jamie Diamond says that photography can trick us and question the "notions of identity, intimacy, and reality and engaging the dialogue surrounding representation and photography's relationship to truth."
Diamond's perspective of family portraits was interesting. Although I feel there is some truth to what she said, I feel it isn't always true. Yes, we may be having a bad day and just smile for the camera, but sometimes, we actually are happy, and the smiles are genuine.

I chose this article because the X-rays are really cool and intriguing.
The layout of this article had an over abundance of gray. It had a light gray background, dark gray heading, and gray columns on the side with black text. Nonetheless, it was still simply and easy to follow and read.
David Maisel uses X-rays to capture a whole new essence of art and photography. Richardson states in the article, "The ghostly images of these x-rays seemed to surpass the potency of the original objects of art. These spectral renderings were like transmissions from the distant past, conveying messages across time, and connecting the contemporary viewer to the art impulse at the core of these ancient works. Through the x-ray process, the artworks of origin become de-familiarized and de-contextualized, yet acutely alive and renewed, revived. The shadow-worlds they occupy are informed by the black space surrounding the images, which in some instances becomes a vast nether world, and in others becomes the velvety ground of some kind of brain scan/portrait."
