Admissions

As I am taking dual credit classes that will allow me to get a jump start, all the highlighted classes, are classes that I am taking now. So because o dual credit I am already a student at WKCTC and will not have to apply again until they come here in april when they sign us up for our classes in the fail semester.

But if I did have to apply for the first time then I would go to the main website and click the tab that says Admissions. Then at the very bottom of that page there will be a section called "How do I get started?" they will have a link for how to apply step by step. That link will be the second highlighted phrase in the paragraph. It will tell you where to go from there.

3. Painting of field by Unknown Artist

This painting by an unknown artist using a certain color pattern to give the viewer a sense of a tranquil Fall afternoon. The artist gives a sense of depth to the painting when they paint the brown grass very large in the foreground of the painting to make it look as if we were on the same level as the grass looking out over the field. He also uses value to add texture to the greass, trees, bushes, and the barn making it appear real.

"The Book Carvings of Brian Dettmer"

Brian Dettmer Carves books like old dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. using surgical tools, knives and tweezers to carve them into works of art. Brian was born in 1974, Chicago and attened Columbia College he was focused on painting while he was there, but then he started to study the connections between text and language while working at a signage store. Where it started to influence his paintings like painting text, braille, and morse code. Which lead to the layering of newspaper and books pages on his work. I believe the effect of his work is to show that text and books are a type of art and that it also holds information and pictures that you can see in your head.

2. Vladmir Kush

Vladmir Kush is an American artist. He liked to paint surrealism. Which is a movement that sought to release the creative potential of the inconsious mind through painting, sculpting, etc. I believe the effectiveness of these paintings is to take the real world and see it in a different light. To see that there are different ways to see the world and interpret it.

1. Autumn Falls painted by Jaison Cianelli

        This painting was painted as a landscape. I believe that the painting depicts a waterfall in a forest or in the woods. The color choices are interesting becasue they look as if they are showing this image in the Autumn. And to show the branches of tree and bushes they use black as an accent on top of the colors. the they use  the blue and green hues to complement the reds and oranges.
        they use acrylic paints on canvas for this painting. this might also be considered an abstract if you didn't know the name or the type of painting it was you probably wouldn't be able to tell it was a waterfall in the woods or forest.

2.Ai weiwei

Ai Weiwei is a famous chinese artist. He does many types of artwork. That include: architecture, curating, photography, and film. he uses many mediums to create his artwork. His uses doors, lights, bikes, etc., but he likes to use a lot of different types of chairs. Chairs are funtional art, that he uses to create his work, by arranging them into to ways that defeat their purpose. I believe the effectiveness of this was "to create a strategy of defiance of the status (symbol, value, function) of monuments that functions like an autoimmune deficiency: in presenting monument-like elements the artist undermines the very essence of commemorative structures, imploding their significance."
