Postmodernism

After reading these articles I was a little confused. I followed along how they talk about Postmodernism; however, when they started to talk about Disneyland I got a little confused. I also had a difficult time interpreting the culture and the woman the article was talking about on the first page in the first paragraph. From what I got out of Postmodernism, these artist create art that represents the unknown. As the article states, postmodern artists and architects take note of new messages, symbols, culture and media and then transforms them into videos, songs, painting or buildings, reflecting the ideas of postmodernism. Personally, I feel like it can be difficult to be a postmodernism artist because you have to represent the unknown and in a form of art. I don't think I would be a great postmodernism artist because I believe that I am not as creative and would have difficulty representing the unknown and understanding it in general.

Additionally, I do believe that art can create new thought struc

Postmodernism Finish Project

Quote: " The great person is ahead of their time, the smart make something out of it, and the blockhead, sets themselves against it." When looking at my finished Postmodernism project, the denotative aspect of this piece is a picture of different size clocks building off of each other in an outward movement. The times on the clocks are all different. On top of the clocks are images of men either reading, running, changing the time of the clocks or standing around looking confused. Albert Einstein is even on top of one of the clocks. After printing the photoshop image, gluing it on the Bristol pad and expanding on the photo, I continued creating the clocks that were cut off the image and also added circles or bubbles around the clocks. These circles/bubbles look the same as the clocks in that they are different sizes and in the color black; however, they do not have ant numbers or time on them, they are just plain. The background is a faded/streak pink col
