ARTS1311 Reading #4
1. How is Warhol able to turn in “off” and based upon the article does he not care about the work?
Simply put, him turning off is going in without a care in the world, his nothing-to-lose attitude. He goes in and does it without caring if it is going to be good or bad. One would say how he doesn’t care about his work but I would say he has to have some care for it despite it not amounting to anything. If he didn’t care about his work at all, what I am trying to say is he wouldn’t have bothered to do it in the first place.
2. Why is the article relevant to the last project?
A bit of the nothing-to-lose attitude would have came up a lot for shooting 200 pictures of the same object, granted at different angles. One would take all of the pictures they can so long as the illustration looks like it has an environment of it’s own.
Personal Reflection
1. Do you become self-conscious of your ideas?
Most of the time I feel very self-conscious about my works. More or less what goes on in my head would be if anyone would understand it the same way I would and that would lead me to change it up a bit.
2. What do you think of the nothing-to-lose attitude? What are it’s pros and cons?
The immediate pro that comes to mind would be how with the nothing-to-lose attitude would be how one would be more less apprehensive with their ideas. They would get an idea and they would go with it. The cons however would be more about enjoying yourself when creating these works should they be either a success or failure.
