this is a picture of the archetypes of the Joker and comedian. each of the four stick figures has dialogue that i know is hard to see:
Person 1:He's so funny
Person 2:I know
Person 3: Everyone loves him
Person 4: Look at all the attention he gets!
this picture is a depiction of the "successful" man. I understand it is hard to see what the stick figures are saying so i will write it out.
person 1: He's so successful
person 2: Everyone must love him
person 3: He must be so proud
this picture is of the archetype rebel. i know like the other pictures it is hard to see what the stick figures are saying underneath him so i will write it out:
person 1:Wow look at him!
person 2:I know he's just amazing
person 3: want to be just like him
person 4: You can
1. What insights about cool does the art integrate? What do you hope people will realize or question from their encounter with your art?
This art project was used to integrate the fact cool and being cool isn’t about who you are or what you think, its simply what you portray. Each one of the archetypes provides us with a character to perform so we can seem heroic. The drawings depict some of the archetypes people fulfill. The thing I would like people to realize from looking at the art is that cool is a replicated look that people use to cover themselves so they will either attain attention or receive approval. I think my project helps one to further think about how cool is an external look to suppress our inner insecurities.
2. Describe the process of making the project - how'd you do each step? If it was a group project, what did you contribute?
Each one of the detailed archetypes has a featureless face, this was done on purpose to show how the versions are taken and replicated by anyone and everyone. The stick figures one the bottom who look up to the archetypes are purposefully without detail, this further shows how the archetypes who are mirrored by everyone else are superior. This is also why they are placed above the stick figures. I chose to use the rebel (the one on the bike) the joker (the comedian) and the successful man (the one in the suit with the briefcase) because they all are one different sides of the cool spectrum. Even though they are all different they accomplish the same goal.
3. Does making art seem cool to you? Why or why not?
The archetype of artsy or hipster is seen by a lot of people as cool. Being a revolutionary artist like Warhol made him cool in the eyes of millions, but that falls under the rebel category. I see my art project as more political than a cool look. It’s more about the ways of society and our culture than a way to look cool myself. In some respects making art can make you immensely cool and popular but that isn’t always the case, does finger painting in kindergarten make you cool? Making the project gave me a sense that I was making a statement more than I was being a rebel.
