Maya Lin: Process of Artmaking http://www.cleanvideosearch.com/media/action/yt/watch?videoId=l38Ea10sNBI
Ideas Percolate • Laying an Egg: Ideas comes out fully formed when you • make or draw the form • Write about the piece before the imagination of the form • takes place • Title comes after finished, the name finds her.
Memorial • A memorial is an object which serves as a focus for memory of something, usually a person (who has died) or an event. • Popular forms of memorials include landmark objects or art objects such as sculptures, statues or fountains, and even entire parks. • Also common are war memorials commemorating those who have died in wars.
Achitecture • Architecture -is both the process and product of planning, designing and construction. • Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural and political symbols and as works of art. • Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.
Symbol • is something which represents an idea, a physical entity or a process but is distinct from it. The purpose of a symbol is to communicate meaning. • A red rose is a symbol for love and compassion.
Think about how your lives have been touched.
If you were commissioned to create a sculpture for the school park what would be it’s purpose?
Use symbolism to sketch images of the memorials in your journal.
Think about Maya Lin as she described her creative process. Where does will your creativity comes from?
