Emulation/Inspiration Assignment
After a long and hard journey to find the perfect piece to emulate, I have finally discovered my inspiration. I plan to imitate Mark Rothko's abstract expressionism pieces through photography. I feel a personal connection to Rothko because of the fact that he attended Lincoln High School in 1921. I wanted to make sure I was doing something different and original and wanted to stay away from still lifes and portrait emulations. I have been really attracted to textural pieces lately and so I have decided to stick to my central theme in my emulation while still bringing Rothko's design to life. All of his paintings tend to be three horizontally central colors on a vertical canvas. I plan to paint vibrant backgrounds of canvas or wood, hoping that I can copy his style and brush strokes. For the two different horizontal colors, I have decided to use seeds/spices/nuts and form them into Rothko's appropriate design. I worked with spices earlier this month as an independent study (see blog) but I could never decided what to do with them once photographed. I will keep those images on this blog but I am still interested in working with the textures of spices, nuts, seeds, etc. I haven't decided if I am going to shoot these digitally or with color film yet. I will post my process and final outcome later on.
Mark Rothko 1903-1970
Some Random Independent Work
I have really been liking textural pieces lately so I decided to fool around with small spices that had deep colors and textures. I don't know if I'll end up doing anything with these in the future but I think that they were cool to post on my blog!

Final Poem
A Tree
The world a blur to most
Most see a tree as a tree
The day you actually see
When the world is not the same world
A tree is no longer a tree
A tree is something that bears fruit
A tree is something beautiful
Even in the harshest winds
A tree stands its ground
A tree with leaves of magestic green
No longer just a tree
But a tree that is a work of art
That is the day you see the world
That is the day the world comes into focus
That is the day you truly see the tree
Most see a tree as a tree
The day you actually see
When the world is not the same world
A tree is no longer a tree
A tree is something that bears fruit
A tree is something beautiful
Even in the harshest winds
A tree stands its ground
A tree with leaves of magestic green
No longer just a tree
But a tree that is a work of art
That is the day you see the world
That is the day the world comes into focus
That is the day you truly see the tree

Lucas Simoes- Nostalgia/Adios
Portugese photographer Lucas Simoes takes others portraits and burns them.
Translated to English: (makes little sense but is artist's statement)
Burn about photography, way to physically delete a memory over time what is lacking in some of the memory image.
The images that I appropriated in this series came from several different media, the colored stripe below the images is my way of showing that the photographs had not been made by me, and I see them as "ink on paper"
to burn pictures, the way of fisically erase the memory by burning it, so with time, the image that is burnt will disappear from your memory.
The pictures in That series are not mine, I took it from many different sources, and the colored tag under it is my way of telling That the image is not original, but printed in the paper, it symbolizes the "ink on paper". ..
