What is special about the art of John Neville Cohen?jncohen
Special effect that is pure photography, without computers, John's art is to create fantasy within the camera. Most of these pictures were originally taken on Kodachrome transparency film.
Lessons from a Jazz Musician: Improvisation in Research, EuroIA 2019, Rachel ...Rachel Price
Presented at EuroIA 2019. Like jazz, there is an art to good research facilitation, but its components are learnable and you can get better if you know what to practice. Using methods from jazz improvisation, this talk will break down the qualities of great user research facilitation into bite-sized methods and techniques that you can actually practice. You will learn the components of good facilitation and exercises for each component, so you can put those qualities into practice immediately. Become a better facilitator with every interview and get more insights out of research than you knew you could.

SEEKING RESPONSE TO THIS POST, DISCUSSION WK 2
QUESTION: Are there any “rules” for making art, why or why not? SIMPLY respond to this post?
The Rules of Art
Adjust automatic marking as read setting
There were rules for art. The ancient Egyptians, for example, had a “canon of proportions” which were strictly followed by the artists who created the murals and sculptures for tombs and places of worship. There would seem to have been rules for the production of art in many cultures to follow. Classical Greek and Roman art had a sort of sameness in form and line.
Music also has “rules” of harmony and chord sequences. But are they absolutely necessary? The motivation behind improvisational jazz is breaking the rules.
Rules are made to be broken, I’ve heard. And the Postmodernists, specifically, intentionally strove to create a new form of art for which there were no rules. The concept of automatic drawing, drawing without conscious thought or purpose, exemplifies this school of artistic thought. Though many modern artists are influenced by other artists, they endeavor to create their individual art as a way of expressing their own view of the world.
From my reading of Fineberg, I believe that he say that art does not need rules, perhaps he would say that art is better without rules.
Although the Modernist movement began in Europe, the American Postmodernists, specifically the Abstract Expressionists, or the New York School, is unique. Fineberg asserts that the nature of the American experience makes us different. America lacks the long history of Europe. We are less restricted by tradition and more open to innovation. We are more a nation of individualists. American culture is “…committed to a destabilizing fluidity in its forms…” (Fineberg p.19). Postmodernism has “no canon of style or technique…(it has) a brash disregard for their very premises.” (Art is a) “force against authoritarian modes of thinking.” (19).
Jackson Pollock said in 1950: “Most modern painters work from a different source, they work from within.” (Fineberg p.24)

Interesting thought. I'm coming up with several responses but I'm not sure what's appropriate. I'll think about it.
You make some excellent points. I have never thought about the rural of the production of art. I still do think that art is an in the moment situation or even with how you are feeling. Your points are great and really make me think about my choice.
Music also has “rules” of harmony and chord sequences. But are they absolutely necessary? The motivation behind improvisational jazz is breaking the rules.
Yes I enjoyed your reading and I agree with your statement that rules are made to be broken. Artist loved to make their art resemble one of their favorite artist but loved to branch off and show their individuality. I think that because of artist having creative freedom to express themselves no precise rules are in place.

You made some.

chance-controlled music
Questions the division between the artistic
sphere and ordinary life.
4. Chance Operation
Set a number of clear parameters, and then carefully
formulate questions, which chance operation would
“answer”.
5. Chance Operation
Introducing chance into art making has a number of
important consequences: it diminishes the control over
the artistic product, and it mirrors the randomness of
everyday life.
7. Analogy
Unconscious Play VS Action Painting
Paints splashed onto the canvas, rather than being
carefully applied. The resulting work often
emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an
essential aspect of the finished work or concern of
its artist.
8. Joseph Beuys : “Every human being is an artist”
Participation: the audience’s role changes from
passive observers into active producers.
How could everybody become an artist as an
unconscious player?
