Claire Sherwood Follow up
I thought The Skype Video with Claire was helpful for me. It was helpful because like all the other Skype's we have done, it helped me see the face behind the artwork and gave me a better understanding of why she does certain things. Claire deals with a lot of ceramics and explained the reasons for the meaning behind her work. She deals with a lot of feminine works and likes that to be known. She explained that it is hard for a woman artists to be recognized while also being a mother of two. I had a lot of questions about the frosting in one of her works. She explained that the reasoning behind her putting frosting all over peoples faces was to see if their facial structure was still apparent. I think the Skype videos are going well and I look forward to another one in the future.

Focus
In our perspective, the pitcher is focused, like a sniper, on the task at hand. He tunes out the world and takes aim as he prepares to fire at his target. In his minds eye the mitt begins to burn. He wants nothing more than to bring the heat and burn a hole through the batter.

Color Assignment
Navy blue is my favorite color because it reminds me of the ocean. I live really close to the ocean and see it everyday. This is also my favorite color because all my favorite sports teams wear this color. This is also the color that reminds me of good weather and relaxation. The sky is blue when the weather is good and it is a vibrant meaningful color.

Comments
1. I think a few of the photos are pretty interesting and i wonder how long a few of the pieces took to create.
2. The kids are reoccurring in many photos i wonder if he knows these children or they are random strangers.
3. Since a lot of it is black and white i feel like he does that for a reason and theres meaning behind all the things he does .
4. I notice his work is featured in several different exhibits which means he must always be working hard.
5. There were a few portraits with no people in them.
Follow Up
I thought that the Skype meeting with Mr. Roda was very interesting. I never had done something like that before. Before meeting him through Skype i was curious to why he created the things he did. After listening to him explain his works and a little bit of his background i started to understand his pieces a little bit better. I thought that it wasn't boring and he made it interesting. I think its cool that he includes his family in his work. Since he has a lot of work on display it seems he is a hard worker and always is coming up with different ideas. He told us that his favorite work is the next one because every other work is the past and he's always excited for his next one and what he will make of it. I think the Skype call made me understand the artist and his work. I would look forward to any future Skype calls with other artists.

I thought talking to Mr. Hackett was a good experience just like the previous Skype call. It really helps you to understand an artist better when you talk to them first hand and see how they come up with their ideas. Mr. Hackett really seems like he knows what he wants to be as an artist and won't let people who don't appreciate his work affect him. While on Skype we got to see his studio where he makes all his pieces. You can see he is a hard worker by the amount of material and artwork scattered everywhere. He seems like he has plenty of good ideas that pertain to what he values in his artwork. The way all his pieces are put together from all different things and made into one thing with meaning is the cool part about it. Even though you don't fully understand every piece talking to him allowed me to further observe his pieces in a different way and understand them better.
