I got started late so in the beginning I had less than my peers as it to took me almost an entire period to get the paper to be proportionate to my source material. Then I spent the next entire period trying to make the angles and the negative space in my work accurate. Next time I was in art I practiced with an ink medium all class until I was sure that I wasn't going to ruin my art by inking. the next time I was in front of my paper I was able to immediately start inking I still didn't finish but overall I liked how it turned out On Oct. 31, Halloween, a lecture was given by Amanda Dalla Villa Adams. The auditorium had much more people than I expected to see. I was sort of dreading the lecture to begin with as we had already had a lecture on Japanese art last year. However as soon as I came I was enraptured by the intricacy that went into the art of wabi-sabi and the other Japanese art forms and how it affected western society as well as how eastern society was affected. My favorite part of the lecture was any time Tanizaki was brought up. I found it interesting how talked about the tragedy of losing the ancient traditions of Japan all while bringing up the new positions of females and males because of this transition. Before this year I must say I did not think much of the wabi-sabi art form often finding it "overrated" however after this lecture and doing my old master project on Mary Cassatt, a western artist who was inspired by wabi-sabi, I must say I have a new appreciation and even reverence for the art form. Summary of: https://www.theartstory.org/artist-cassatt-mary-life-and-legacy.htm -Mary Cassatt was born in 1844 -Raised in Germany and France -These early exposures into the European artistic culture would shape Mary's own artistic works. -She went to Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. -She convinced her parents to let her pursue art as a career. -Studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme. -She would soon leave the United States because she found the lack of support for the artistic community abhorrent. -She traveled to many European countries where she became inspired by various actors from the time. -By the 1870s Cassatt had a studio in parents, were she would draw her family as her subject matter after they moved to Paris in 1877. -Cassatt would have her work published in the Salon of 1872 and would continue to be exhibited in the Salons. -After her works were rejected in the late mid 1870s, Cassatt would shy away from the pomp and circumstance that is the Paris art world as it was often riddled with political agendas. -Degas took Cassatt under his wing in 1877, with Cassatt becoming a member of the impressionist group. -Cassatt became one of the first major impressionist artists in the U.S -She would often depict subjects including women in their daily lives and when Japanese art became popular in the western hemisphere, Cassatt would include many elements of wabi-sabi in her later works. -Cassatt would continue to make works that depicted women that included subtle deeper meanings. -She would continue to be friends with Degas until there opinions were divided during the Dreyfus Affair of 1894, though they would later make up. -Cassatt would lose many things in the early 20th century including her sight. -With her increasing blindness Mary Cassatt spent most of her last years, exhibiting work without actually being able to make any new creations. -Cassatt is considered one of the most influential expatriate artists of her generation with some of her work being displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Questions: 1) In the early days of art and even now politics and expression seem to go hand in hand. How was Cassatt affected by this and how did this change her relationship with Degas in later years? 2) Artist tend to have preferences and Mary Cassatt had a very specific subject matter she tended to depict. What was it and how did it influence her peers? 3) How was Mary Cassatt influenced by eastern art and why?
