1. Include answers from Step 3.
Installation art is artwork that takes over space; it defines space. I can also be described as some kind of sculpture around and something that’s all around you; the physical definition is the attitude. People describe this as “installing a show” by which they mean setting the art in place. An “installation shot” is made when a photographer is documenting the exhibition.
B. What materials are used installation art?
The materials that are used for installation art are everyday objects. There is not a right or a wrong in creating installation art. I can be created by various different objects and in various different scenes.
C. Why make installation art?
People realized that being in a gallery or a museum is itself an experience, they began to take this into account in various different ways. From this came a new art, installation art. Artists were also looking in new directions thought about this process as well.
D. Which artist/installation did I find most interesting?
The artist/installation that I found most interesting was Fireflies on the Water by Yayoi Kusama. This work of art captured my eye. It says that it is a mirror, Plexiglas and has 150 lights and water. This is such an unusual work of art and I absolutely love it.
2. Include answers from Step 4.
A. From the material reviewed, is there a inspiration piece that I feel a connection with?
Based on the material that I reviewed, I believe that each piece did give me ideas, but there were none that I truly felt a connection with. I like to have unique art, and make it my own. There were not really any ideas that truly inspired me.
B. What theme do I want to explore in my installation? Refer to your textbook if you need to review Themes of Art.
(Nature, Environment, Self, Mass Media, Consumerism, etc.)
The theme that I wanted to explore in my installation was Self. I wanted my installation to be about me. I love to create things about things I like to do, things that interest me. I feel as if it makes my work better because it is about my everyday life.
C. What materials will I use?
The materials that I will be using are materials that describe me. I will be using my cell phone, camera, iPOD, a fashion magazine and a fashion book, a piece of makeup, nail polish, a zebra pillow, a card from where I work, my car keys, a margarita glass and my double chain necklace . I feel that these are the pieces that describe me in a way. The fashion magazine and textbook were used because I love fashion and I am a Fashion Merchandising Major. The iPOD symbolized liking music, the camera because it captures all the memories and my cell phone because I would be lost without it. The double chain necklace was used to show my fashion sense and the makeup along with nail polishes because it is part of the beauty industry which is involved with the fashion industry. I used my car keys because this is my first car I can call my own and the first car that I can say I bought. Since I am doing the theme of self it would work out perfect.
D. Where will this installation be located and why?
I am going to be doing this installation in my room because I wanted a place that really described me.

5. Analyze your installation. Be sure to use the worksheet from Project #3 as your guide.
My installation is basically a portrait of myself. Each item in my image pertains to something about it. It is a sybolic portrait without really seeing me is how I look at this.
6. What are your thoughts on the planning and creation of a site specific installation?
My thoughts on planning were just thinking what I was about. I asked myself what reminds me of myself?, which objects would be perfect to describe me?. My thoughts of creating the site was that I wanted it to be a personal setting, somewhere that it is my own; therefore I figured I would use my bedroom. It describes me completely so I figured it would be perfect for the type of installation I am doing.
