Patrick Martinez

Why I selected the artist

Martinez has colorful images that speak about and critique hip hop and low income culture

His critique comes from a place of understanding

Patrick Martinez BioFrom Pasadena, CA. Received his BFA in

illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

“I work with many different mediums…it depends on what I’m trying to say. If it’s more effective as a sculpture or neon, I’m going to go that route (Martinez, 2010).”

On process…“I do real loose sketches or drawings of what I think I want to paint…I find a lot of the details, movements, or emotions when I’m doing the actual painting (Martinez, 2010).”“I like to take my time and really focus on putting out good work. I don’t want to just fill galleries up with wallpaper pieces that have my signature. I want to try and connect with people in a real way, not on a Facebook level (Martinez, 2010).”

My Thoughts What do I want students to learn from

this work?While Martinez is involved in Hip Hop

culture, he also critiques elements he believes should change.

I want students to be able appreciate elements of their surrounds, while also developing a critical eye for the flaws in their community.

My Thoughts

Martinez creates eye catching and meaningful works that I believe will help students second guess some of the things they hold as important (the right clothes, the right friends, etc.)

He also brings up issues that are common in low income neighborhoods such as safety and nutrition.

Cindy Sherman

Why I selected the artist Sherman shows images of all types of

women Her work provides an opening to discuss

physical appearance and identity

Cindy Sherman BioSherman was born in 1954 in Glen Ridge,

New Jersey. Sherman studied painting, and then photography at State University College at Buffalo. Sherman has created many series of photographs most of which reference a type of woman, or a role women play. Sherman creates photos that are not self portraits, but use her image to portray someone else.

On process…“I think of becoming a different person. I look into a mirror next to the camera…it’s trance-like (Sherman, 2009).”“I didn’t want to make what looked like art (Sherman, 2009).”“I wanted it to look like anyone would understand it because it looks like it’s from a movie, and maybe I saw that movie(Sherman, 2009).”On why her work is generally untitled…“I didn’t want people to have a preconceived notion of what they’re supposed to imagine this character to be (Sherman, 2009).”

Cindy Sherman

My Thoughts What do I want students to learn from

this work?I want this work to challenge student’s

assumptions and judgments about people based on appearance.

I also want students to consider the role woman play in our society, and to consider what images of woman have yet to become commonplace.

David Haines Why I selected the artist

Haines exposes situations through his art that happen all the time in schools

His work is a platform for discussing those issues, and showing students that they can “talk about” important things in their own art work

David Haines

Bio

Haines was born in the United Kingdom in 1969. He studied Fine Art at Camberwell School of Art, London. Haines finds images on the internet often depicting people doing morally questionable things. These images are usually the inspiration for his work.

(Pilgrim, n.d.)

Haines states his images“explore characterizations of passivity and control, as well as assumptions made about people who engage in these roles (Haines, 2007).”

My Thoughts What do I want students to learn from

this work?Haines depicts people in situations that

they would often be ashamed of later. I want students to consider the following questions.

1. What do the acts shown say about the people involved?

2. What do you think contributed to their behavior?

3. What does the work make you want to do in reaction to it?

Do-ho-suh Why I selected the artist

Suh has a unique perspective into western culture because of where he has lived

His themes of home are relatable for students

Do-ho-suh Bio

- Born in Seoul, Korea in 1962- BFA and MFA in Oriental Painting from Seoul National University- Mandatory service in the military in South Korea- Relocated to the United States

“I was in New York for a year before I went to grad school. I was living on 113th Street, near Columbia. And my apartment building was right across the street from the fire station. And it was really, really noisy and I couldn’t sleep well. And I was thinking when it was my last time to have a really good sleep. And that was in a small room back in Korea. And I wanted to bring the house somehow to my New York apartment (Suh, 2003). “

“At some point in your life you have to leave your home. And whenever you go back it’s just not the same home anymore (Suh, 2003).”

Do-Ho-Suh describing Floor “It started from this notion of individual space or

personal space. Seoul is a very crowded city…bumping someone shoulder is normal, but it’s different here. My perception of personal space has changed (Suh, 2003).”

“For me it was more important coming from Korea to the United States and that kind of cultural displacement allowed me to compare to different cultures. I was able to actually look back and think about this idea of individual and collective (Suh, 2003).”

Do-ho-suh

My Thoughts What do I want students to learn from this

work?I want students consider what their home

means to them, and what they would miss most if they left their home.

I also want students to gain an understanding of differences between western and eastern cultural norms.

Suh’s work provides us a glimpse into the experience of viewing western culture from a fresh pair of eyes.

Andrea Zittel Why I selected the artist

Zittel’s work causes us to think about what is important to us in our home

This keys into what is important to us (being safe, having order, privacy, etc.)

Andrea Zittel Bio

Born in Escondido, California in 1965 BFA in painting and sculpture in 1988 from

San Diego State University, and an MFA in sculpture in 1990 from the Rhode Island School of Design

Zittel states, “I am always looking for the gray area between freedom—which can sometimes feel too open-ended and vast—and security—which may easily turn into confinement (Zittel, 2001).”

My Thoughts

What do I want students to learn from this work? I want students to consider how Zittel’s

work communicated her essential elements of home.

I want students to consider what home means to them, and express the purpose of home for them in their studio work (comfort, privacy, food, warmth, tradition, etc.)

Media Study (Verbal Abuse) What do I want students to learn from

this? I want students to see how powerful and

memorable images can be. For this reason they are good at getting

important messages across In this situation that verbal abuse is just

as serious as physical abuse

New Diet Coke Commercial

What is this telling students about being thin and your worthiness as a person?

Moving away from the comments of the taste of a diet drink vs. the regular…more of a character value

The goal of this piece is to help students think critically about what makes good character and what does not

Huggies Jeans Diapers What do you want your students to

learn from this?

I want students to be able to find humor in the extremes that the fashion industry has taken

I want students to be able to incorporate humor and parody into their own artwork as a means of exposing issues through the lens of comic relief. (It’s funny because it’s true)

Conclusion It is my goal that students will

understand the messages these artists are trying to convey and then use their own artwork to speak about issues that are important to them
