My Beating Heart!

Pepón Osorio was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, in 1955. He currently lives in Philadelphia.

Osorio’s pieces are influenced by his experience as a social worker in The Bronx, usually evolve from an interaction with the neighborhoods and people among which he is working. He quotes…“My principal commitment as an artist is to return art to the community,”. She that is what he tries to do.

This picture to me is expressing his heart and the love in it for art. Not just this piece but other pieces by him express something symbolic about him and other artist. I think that this is something dedicated to other artists to because you have to put your heart and all into everything you do as a artist! Thats all I can really say in about this reflection piece!

Eggs dropped and cracked open seperated from its family…SAD

In case of a fire i would take My Junk Drawer. It has many  things that i wouldn’t want to lose in a fire. It has cards from close family members, report cards, metals, awards, and a lot of extra junk that mean a lot to me. Another thing that I’d take would be my cell phone. My cell phone believe it or not is very important, it has been there for me when I was lost in the middle of know where. It would be just cruel to leave it in the fire.

Lastly I would bring my family. I cant live without them. They are there when I need them so I’d bring them with me. My parents brung me in this world so I’d help them stay here too. 

3 Concepts

Edward Tufte stated to avoid heavy grids, Avoid over busy grids, excess ticks, redundant representation of simple data, boxes, shadows, pointers, legends. Mainly concentrate on the date and not really the data containers. So overall maximize data-ink and minimize non-data ink.

The first thing I noticed was a lot of movement. I noticed it was’t just characters moving, but features on the characters. Somethings that moves were their necks, eyebrows, the sidewalk, tree, and etc.Things that wouldn’t really look right moving on actual people or a film that was not animated, such as a real life setting. I say that to say this, that is why they used animated people so that it would look better when features moved.
