I still believe that everything is art, and visual culture is a very important thing to educate students about.
I suppose you could call visual culture rhizomatic, though i think that is an odd word to use for it. It is a main point with branching categories however.
I feel an art lesson should include more of a project than simply making visual culture connections, though that can very ea silly be a big factor to the final piece.
This site contains the basics to avoiding fake news, with is important to teach students so they don't use faulty information for a piece. It also includes teaching standards.

this lesson is about avoiding image plagiarism.
Images are very important in art, for references or for material. It is important for students to know how to cite the references, and how to properly use them to avoid plagiarism.

The artist project was relatively simple for me, the only problems I encountered was adding gifs to the google slides document.
I most enjoyed getting to interview my friend on her creative process, and see just how far she has gotten as an artist. I am glad that she and I still talk, and I can ask her questions about my own at. She is the one who taught me in the first place. There wasnt much I didnt enjoy other than having to add an audio clip and slide transitions. I personally don't see transitions as professional in a powerpoint. To me, they just seem to get in the way.
I will defiantly use google slides in my classroom however, it is a great way to show a class the next project.

Visual culture to me is a work of art, or some visual product that displays hints at what is going on in the world around us. Particularly showcasing events surrounding the artist, be it personal or in a broader sense.
In the June K McFee video, she related her lessons and art to her childhood. She took her experiences and incorporated them into her teaching philosophy and artwork.
It took me a minute, but I have heard of Zine before, from a student in high school. I never made one, but I remember it was an option for a project for one of the classes I was in.
I think having a zine library is important because it brings attention to small name artists. They aren't officially published by a company, but instead by the artist, meaning it is the purest and most raw form of their work.
Working on zines is important because it can be a beginning step towards making officially published work, or getting your name out there. They make work relating to themselves, and share that with the world, so others can read about their experiences. I find it to be similar to deviantart artists.
I think introducing students to zines could be beneficial to them, because it can be tied with their English classes, and they get to write about personal experiences. They get to tell their story, and have creative freedom on how they do it.
I feel this last video was hard to follow and kind of all over the place with long examples displayed between arguments. I feel this video is more of a long rant on one persons views, and could have been organized a bit better. however, I think incorporating modern culture into works of art and lessons is important, because students should be aware of what is going on around them.
I honestly don't understand what exactly she is arguing. She was talking about the meaning in art, and how it is displayed, but I don't find it much of an argument, more of stating the fact that how you display a work of art can draw different audiences and affect its meaning.

Of Antonio Roberts work, his 2017 work, 'Mirrored" connected with me the most because I appreciated the fact it dealt with abstract imagery, light and was displayed in a non traditional setting.
His work appears to be media based, which ties in with our class work, because we are a media class.
Questions I would ask are, what is the inspiration for each project, what do you hope viewers would get out of your work, and why do you choose the mediums you work in?

I don't think creating a classroom newsletter letter would be an effective way to communicate with the students, because it is not likely they would read it. Students in an art room would rather just get straight to work, be it because they want to get in and out as fast as they can, or because they are actually excited on the work they are doing. Any handouts given to them are likely to just end up at the bottom of their bags and forgotten.
Of all the adobe applications, photoshop is my favorite because I have used it the longest and understand how it works. The others seem confusing to me, or useless, as in there are other applications that are easier to use, and fulfill the same purpose.
That being said, the more projects completed using different applications the larger a skill set will grow, so of course by using these tools, I do learn from them and how they work.
This project strengthened my skills by repetition, using the same tools multiple times, and problem solving, knowing what I wanted it to look like, and finding a way to do just that.

I'm not sure I had a particular favorite piece from the show, but I did prefer the ones that were projected horizontal as opposed to the ones projected from the ceiling. I don't have a shape that represented me, but I did like the curved lines. my shadow made an interesting impression on the image, but I was more focused on the "wall" of light and how my body affected it, and it my body. I felt like a ghost walking through a wall.
The family activities are meant for young elementary children to understand light and how it works. Taking this range of students to a gallery is defiantly worth taking students to if they can because it can be educational, and they can be engaged if the show is interactive.\
I'm not too sure how the closing of Albright will affect the art scene in buffalo. I was never alone there, but those who aren't into the arts don't seem to even know about the renovations, showing they don't go very often.
Expanding and modernizing the museum will be nice and hopefully draw some more attention and business to the art scene.
McCall's work is defiantly different and intersecting. Painting with light and playing with projections is something I have never seen before. I did enjoy how it was interactive, and the young kids I saw there seemed to be having fun dancing in the lights.
I believe art is a doorway to ones imagination. This means that you draw what you thing, you create the world in your mind.
