Wix Website: About Page, Social Links, Homepage and Mobile View

-

As I have already changed the text in my About Page last week, I replaced the font type of 'ABOUT ME' to Lulo Clean at 25 px size, whereas the text of the paragraphs are Open Sans at size 16 px, for more emphasis. Then I have used the Change Image option on the stock photo to replace it with my portrait taken during class.

I have tested out the About page on the mobile view whilst still on the preview mode and while it was fine, with no major problems. I have, however, adjusted the paragraph size as it had looked quite thin compared to the page size.

On the other hand, the format for my Home page was broken, so I had to readjust the size of the header to 18 px and 9 px for title and subheading respectively. I had also edited the size of the catchphrase to fit into the screen.

I placed a social link bar that I have found in the 'Social' tab of 'Add Elements', then removed unnecessary social media icons. After linking the proper icons to my social media accounts, I have checked that these icons are formatted properly in mobile view. Finally, I have checked that the links are present in the footer for all pages and gives access to the proper social media.

I went on the the mobile view, which had already provided me with a Back to the top button present and moving with every page, and edited the location of the button so that it isn't located too high on the screen. As the Facebook icon was unnecessary, I deleted it. The button had worked properly on the preview mode for every page.

I removed the stock details listed on the Contact page. The form is linked to my email account through 'Form Settings' so that I can receive messages without exposing personal information. I further went on to delete a map section with a stock photo, which was also used for Home page, and changed the font of 'GET IN TOUCH' to Lulo Clean.

Artist Research: Penny Siopis, ‘Warm Water Imaginaries’ and Abstraction

-
Image
   Penny Siopis is an multi-medium artist of Greek descent born and working in South Africa, representing issues ranging from the traumas of children in South Africa to global, political issues. She has worked with a range of mediums, from photography and films to paintings, but I am focusing on her painting series and her techniques, specifically her abstraction and fluid art.   For a long time, Siopis worked with concepts that were ‘beyond representation’ (South African History Organisation, n.d.)– personal representation, psychology, trauma and such– and integrating dynamic materials into her works as if to show the organic nature of such psychological issues. This may be especially due to her life in South Africa which had and still has several social issues, one of which being ‘Apartheid’ which is a type of racial segregation that happened in South Africa to South West Africa during 1948 to 1994 due to the all-white government. She specifically mentions this iss...

Icebreaker: Recreating an Artwork

-

 We began this term with an Icebreaker exercise which was a ‘Recreating an Artwork Challenge’, or the ‘Getty Museum Challenge’. This challenge, original idea created by Instagram user Tussen Kunst & Quarantine, was started by J. Paul Getty Museum as a way to keep people engaged with art during the lockdown. These recreations are done in homes and therefore often have limited resources, which means that people needed to be resourceful and creative with what they have. Barnes (2020) comments   ‘You'll be surprised at how faithful these recreations are—especially as people work with limited (and often precious) resources.’  People also have found ways to modernise old artworks, integrating modern messages, items and issues in their r e creations.

This artwork depicts on the final moments of French re...

Artist Research: Odilon Redon’s ‘Buddha’

-
Image
 Odilon Redon had initially caught my interest for this research due to his significance as a symbolist artist working with abstract shapes and context, but further into my research I have learned that he was one of the first to introduce Buddhism– Buddha in himself more specifically– into the Western art environment. He was also iconic for his openness to different mediums and techniques, moving on from monochrome works to colour and integrating different art styles such as Japonism to his works.  Le Buddha, 1895  Like many of Redon’s other works, his first work of Buddha was a monochrome lithograph with an almost sinister look compared to many of Asian depictions of Buddha. This art style is dominant throughout his works in the 1870s to 1880s, where in the 1870s he was required to join the army to fight against the Franco-Prussian war. The war in itself must have been influential to his mindset and art of Redon, but the defeat and the chaos left behind by the war may ha...
