lecture homework #9

1. Do you think that your answers  are similar or different from most Americans? In what ways are they similar, and different? similar, I like more traditional art. I like to look at things that I think are beautiful , and when I  look  at the art I feel something inside that makes me happy.I also like the art to  reprsent something that I feel inside. I dont really want that to be abstract or hard to figure out . I like it to be more realistic.

2. Which questions do you think  would be the most helpful if  one was using market research to design new paintings for sale? What questions would you ask differently, or leave out entirely?I wouldn't leave any questions out I think they are all important .I also dont know that I would change any questions I fell  they are all pretty well done , and the answers help to give a good understanding of what people want.

3. Would this work? Why or why not? I feel this is a good idea. If an artist is trying to make a art piece to sell to the masses then he would want to know what most people would want to buy.If he is just making art for him selfe then the survey dosent really matter.

Big idea- ideas

Idea#1- Petunia in a onion patch
        2 glass frames one with a pitcher of my father .On top of that is a pressed onion formed into the shape of a petunia flower. The second glass frame will have a pitcher of of me when I was young. On top of that is petunia flowers shaped into a onion. The two frames will be connected by a woven rope. The rope will be made of objects that reflect our relationship and us as people.ex- his Air force clothes and my baby clothes.        
 Idea #2- Petunia in a onion patch #2  
         the same basic idea only instead of glass frames use glass boxes one holds a display a petunia in a onion patch with my Dads pitcher printed or etched on the glass( I want it to be a little shadow like.) The 2nd glass box will hold a petunia patch  with a onion in it.A shadow pitcher  of me when I was young on the glass. The two boxes are connected together with a woven rope with memories wrote on it.
   Idea #3- Ice Cream baby
               when I was 2 we lived in France. My Dad use to love to take me to  get ice cream All I would be wearing is my diaper my little high heels and my mothers bead neckles . He loves too talk about how cute I was and How I would have choclet icecream all over me . We did that ever Saturday.
               I was thinking a doll with a diaper ,heels, beads and an icecream dripping. A strand of beads will connect the doll to a Air Force uniform. the uniform will have memories of my Dad and I written on it.
