The Satire / Rube Goldberg Project
In this project we made a satirical device on something that we thought was important. What I chose was light conservation and that people don't conserve energy. How I chose to portray this in my artwork by using one of the satirical devices. Which is a way or a tool to help talk about a certain topic.
Project Reflection
In this project we are asked to make an art piece about something we thought was important. I decided my topic was going to be light conservation and how people don't turn off their lights. How he decided to portray this was drawing with pencil and only using yellow highlighter and markers to highlight how people leave their lights on. In my art piece the devices that I used were understatement and Irony. I chose understanding because I want to make it clear that we weren't actually paying attention to how energy conservation is important and how it's important and that we should save energy. And I chose irony because not a lot of people think about why they leave their lights on and how that can affect them paying bills or affect their community.
One of the most important things that I learned in this project was satire and how they are used. Why I thought this was important is because I need to learn the satires so I could use it in my final project. This was used in my final project when I used satirical devices irony and understatement. Why use both of these in my satire is because I want to portray something that everybody miss understands and that everybody expects something but in reality it's something completely different. Something specific that I learned is that I know all of the meanings of the satirical devices and how or where they're used in artwork.
I think that the role of satires in society is to make fun or mock someone or something. But using different satires could be more or less effective if you use them in the wrong way or the right way. For example if you use a satire in the wrong context it won't bring as much emotion in regards to if you use the right satire in the right context.By using more satirical devices it makes satire more effective because it involves more emotion.
In this class so far I think that my overall self-assessment is a 9. I gave myself the score because I feel like I'm prepared most of the time but not all the time and I use my work time right most of the time but not all the time. One specific thing that could improve my performance is using my work time more efficiently and not messing around with my friends. I will practice this by not procrastinating at home and do it when it's assigned instead of doing it an hour before it's due.
