I loved the video and I'm fascinated with the prompt given here but I can't shake a question off my head
What are you glueing the prints with? I've never seen anything like that and it would be useful for my work in uni
Lots of questions about these dots! There are a variety of adhesive glue dots available for sale. These particular ones have been floating around in a drawer of mine for the last, um, decade, and I'm not sure they are made anymore. They're called "Magic Dots" and were made for photos to tack into albums. I've also used some called "Zots," but if you search around there are other options, too.
Glue dots! I think scotch makes some. They are a life changer.
The Art Assignment hhhhhvkkbvnbnn
Gotta love 3M
They are glue dots, and come in all sizes and can also be on a long strip. Scrap bookers use them all the time, because it is neater and faster. You can get them at any Michaels, AC Moore, or even Walmart or other crafts store.
This is just what I needed today. Calming, thoughtful, caring. Thanks, Sarah. -John
I sold my first ever painting today -I’m elated.
Congratulations buddy!
At first I read "I stole" and was concerned! Congrats though on SELLING!
Hell yeah!
Nishant Rai thank you 😌
Gabby H. 😂😂😂😂 thank you
My great-granddaughter was born this morning. I'm going to make her a small art book for my work so she'll know me when I'm gone. Thanks for this episode
Wonderful! Congratulations!
Qwen Wan May you live long so that you tell her that yourself!
That is so beautiful!
What a wonderful idea! And welcome to the world, little human!
this comment made me cry of love, thank you
One of the many reasons i love this channel: While watching this, my boyfriend (he isnt really into much fine art) started watching with me and immediately made the dreaded 'but i can do that' comment. It sparked an hour long conversation on talking to him about the art he does in fact enjoy, and discovering that, its not a paintings seeming simplicity that he doesn't like, its the fact that he doesn't know why he doesn't like it. He also, as a musician, collates complexity with skill (as he works hard to play very fast paced difficult things) and thus inherently thinks simplistic works require less skill. I then asked him wether he liked my paintings (minimalist/op art style) and he said 'well of course, because theyre yours and i know what they mean to you'. He then realised that art doesnt have to be complex and technical to be impactful, it just needs to mean something to someone.
nice! I can relate as a musician and painter! Many many many discussions with my friends and parents are about complexity, whether in music or art. that is a good topic to make people understand and appreciate things more
Inherently? I think you're wrong there. I think many musicians get to learn about the minimalistic movement pretty early on in their career, which already suffices to learn not to equate skill with complexity
@@linguaphilly maybe inherently is the wrong word. but also he's self taught and didnt go to school for music so didnt really have that exposure to other stuff. to him its an inherent thing because of the music he's grown up listening to and performing and writing, which is predominantly heavy, fast complex stuff. thats not to say he doesnt like and appreciate other things, its just what he knows best.
Sorry for the weirdly late response to this comment but this is so true and is exactly what I needed reminding of tonight. So thank you!
Art that brings me comfort: this video
Wait. What is that blue thing? Ive never seen those sticky dots in my entire life. I want 10.000 sheets of that.
I came into the comment section to say the same thing, that looks so awesome for bullet journaling
They’re called Magic Dots!
And where do we get them?! Do you know how much glue the kids go through?!
@@theartassignment can I buy it on Amazon? I need that thing.
In my country we have something called a Pritt dot that's like this just clear and a bit puffier. You should see krismis presents wrapped using them! So sexy and streamline hahaha
Your voice has become so soothing to me.
For me too...🍒
So true like the sound really calms me and leaves my mind open to different perspectives of art and the human experience
Off topic but I love your profile picture. Please forgive my ignorance, since I live far removed from the LGBTQ+ world, but what is it? What does your picture or this flag mean? At least I know it represents queer, right?
@@AspienPadda It's an expanded version of the rainbow flag, which is meant to include various sexual/gender identities not typically associated with just the rainbow flag (because even though the rainbow flag is meant to symbolically include everyone, its more or less come to be associated strictly with being gay). Think of it like the flag for the LGBT +, with more of an emphasis on the +.
Thank you @@russelldickenson2022 I feel much more educated now. I think the reason I'm attracted to it, now that I think about it, is because it looks like my country flag: 🏳️🌈 + 🇿🇦
I always like how Sarah talks about art it's like when you watch something and everything feels so calm, but the closer you look the more you realize how vibrant everything it.
"We are always the bird to some extent but we are *really* the bird right now."
Oh how I love this channel.
this is similar to an assignment i got from one of my art teachers, we are to make a little book out of our own art works, the art we create is supposed to be our safe space. i think i'g going to combine it with my most recent love, poetry.
I love this idea. I have since added the artist quotes from the video into the book, but I think I'd like to annotate it further, and add thoughts, drawings, etc.
I had a similar assignment too, that’s why i clicked on this
“Because even good digital images can’t come close to recreating what a real life art encounter is like, in physical space, where you can sense its texture and dimensionality and changing appearance as light shifts and you shift around it.” Wow. I’m almost speechless… what a beautiful encapsulation of the visceral experience of space (whether created by buildings or nature both) as well as the way something ‘live’ can hit us in our gut and our heart in unexpected ways (my 2017 was especially filled with moments like that). Wonderfully put. And then, to make my speech recede even more, “…simply to spend time in the presence of another beating heart.” Absolutely moving. This whole video was touching, a great idea/assignment and a poignant reminder of our humanity and the joys of being mindful and present. Thank you Sarah!
I would watch about 20 more editions of this video, at least. One of my favorite parts of the Art Assignment is just...listening to you talk about your favorite works? It is simultaneously soothing and horizon-widening and totally enthralling.
video idea: impressionism's role as a merger of the classical and the modern, formality and informality, as well as the beginning of celebrating everyday life as valid subjects
You know that cliché question "if you could have dinner with anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be?", well I think I would choose you, Sarah. I adore every video you put out, your depth of knowledge and ability to convey it in a way that I can follow, a way that makes me question things without feeling intimidated. After watching, I always end up down a Google rabbit hole of new and different art. I guess I just wanted to say thank you for this channel and I look forward to reading your book and watching more from you!
I am an extreme introvert and feel that now, for a while, I get to 'not be the bird'. I have been given a break from doing many of the things I am usually expected to do that really drain me. But, I feel bad for the extroverts. I get it.
This video nearly brought me to tears, and I'm not a person who weeps easily. I don't know what exactly it was that touched me, and I don't have the capability to express my feelings well enough in English - it's not my native language. Maybe it was the calmness. Maybe it was the way this let me see the beauty of other people's minds and the beauty of humanity that we so often doubt. Anyways, I loved it and I am so inspired.
The inspirational little artbook is such a clever idea! I think there are so many ways to use it, for the creative process for example. As I am making videos then I was immediately thinking I could collect pictures (also words) to create an inspirational storyboard or something like that. Sometimes a detailed artwork can deliver the mood much better than just writing it down. Thanks for the idea!
Good idea! Thanks!
I love how she stopped leaving the white edges with more 3d art. This kind of small detail represents that it's not supposed to be just a photo in a book, it's something bigger than that.
"Given the real thing, and an indistinguishable fake, which is worth more?
The fake is of far greater value, in it’s deliberate attempt to be 'real', it’s more real than the real thing."-Nisemonogatari
To fix the image in memory- express really well that idea.
When this all thing hit Europe I was touring with my mum in the Netherlands (im from France), we were suppose to see the Belgium grand expositon about Van Eyck, but we Come home earlier and its was a one in a century exposition (piece so fragile its never shown) .
Made me feel really Sad, fortunatly I was able to see the the young lady with a pearl earing. Help a little so are the wonderful pièces you show today 🥰
i found very inspirational to post this type of content during these weird times, thank you for your distinguished appreciation and for sharing it!
I have a wall of art. I love to look at my favourite painting everyday.
Can't encounter art first hand in quarantine? Then how can I encounter this video, a genuine work of art, in its natural form?
Art is soothing in rough times.
When I was in my finals of college in my degree, I was losing all hope and missing home when I saw Monet's Promenade at Argenteuil in a book. Gave me the drive to keep going on. I don't know how but it did.
I'm quickly approaching triple figures in my collection of art books and my airline work gives me the opportunity to visit several museums and galleries to see artworks "in person" which makes me painfully aware of the limitations of book reproductions
this is wonderful. Reminds me of my art school days. Best part was learning and seeing other artists' work and getting to know them. I can go in to a modern art museum (when I could) and see my friends again, feel proud that I know who they are. It is so easy to walk by a piece of art and instantly decide if you like it or not, but when you know the what and why it is like having poetry explained, I love that moment of OH I see it.
That colorful ball thing made me actually tear up a little. Just like soft big color is so pretty.
Real life isn't all that great 😅... Went back to work this week and decided I need to spend more time on art and regret wasting so much of the time I was off. For every one who is still off remember to make the most of it ❤
I love your inclusion of contemporary work! Studying art history definitely can numb you to the amazing pieces being made today.
This slowed me down - exactly what I needed today.
I am so so happy to see this on my subscription feed right now. once again, this channel comes through when I very much need it. I've been missing the virtual tour lately. thank you :)
ps: hope everyone is safe and, if not totally okay, at least okay enough to be comfortable and kind to themselves
I like that, because of the way you cut it out, the image of the draped art is then suspended (with the blu-tack) and draped in its own right in your art book.
As others have said, yes, your voice is extremely soothing; and as always, you never cease to inspire me, even in my lowest points. On the other hand, I didn't know you are actually a mom, you look so young, relaxed and full of energy and creativity; how's that even possible? you might very well be an unicorn. Love to you and your family from Mexico. :)
Edit: Oh oh, btw, happy -early- mother's day.
This kind of feels a bit like Anthroposcene Reviewed and I'm into it
What an awesome idea! It's a bit like a zine.
I loved listening to your explanations - they gave me an appreciation for the artworks I would never have had just looking at them. Thank you for bringing some calm to us!
This video is everything! Your voice is so soothing and it always calms me down seeing people work on things with their hands. Also learning about artists that I did not know of yet and can now look into just makes it the perfect video for in these weird times, thank you.
This video and your voiceover is so calming. Thank you!
"I want to luxuriate in this environment, as a fully sensing being"
You make such beautifully scripted, compelling, immersing descriptions. I love everything about this channel. Truly inspiring in more than one way. I even took the time to translate one of my favorite videos of yours a couple of months ago, because I didn't want anyone to miss it. Please keep these going, truly one of my favorite channels on CZcams. I'm sure will be remembered as one of the greatest and as an example of what we can do for the love of art. Thank you very much!
I love your sensibility and respect towards artists and art itself...
I love the drape art, it brings so many feelings.
this was a great art lesson, thank you so much, Sarah!
This was so beautiful and calming to me, specially now. Thank you. 💙
Thank you!! Life is really stressful rn and much of what gets me through is the art and media that bring me comfort and these videos are a part of that!
this is so wholesome, considerate and inspiring
This channel always reminds me why I love art. Loads of love to you guys ❤️
“Even if we never see them or never will” is how I feel about Sun Tunnels - it sits in my mind, stewing 😌
I love both this video and her narrating voice. So calm.
This was very soothing. Thanks for walking us through your comfort gallery.
Thank you for this. Just the kind of gentle, meditation through art, that I need right now. I love to hear your perspective on pieces of art and artist’s practices. It enriches my own.
This is such a great idea, I've never thought of compiling my own art book before! I'll give this a shot thanks and great video as always 😊
I was able to see two of the drape paintings at a recent exhibit at the DeYoung in SF. I loved them then and seeing them in this video made me a bit misty eyed. Their scale is so imposing and I’m so glad I was able to see them in person. Thank you for reminding me of a fond memory
this is so calming
It's so comforting to have your videos through this time
This brought me no end of joy. Thank you. 😭😭😭
Your videos bring me comfort, Sarah. Thank you to you and the whole team 💕
I've cried for real watching this video. Thank you for this
This is such a wonderful idea and a great video! Sarah's narration is so soothing. Thank you for this
Thank you for this video. It's such a good idea on so many levels. It makes you make something, explore something, learn things and remind yourself there is still real world and real items and people out there, away from your little corner. And we learned some new ideas and artists while getting inspired to make something ourselves and that is one thing most of us crave in this really unusual situation, if we are lucky enough to already be safe and secured. Thank you Sarah for making me stay optimistic for another day.
Thank you! I needed this today.
Thanks for this, comforting and a good way to stay busy
I love this!! Hope it brings you much joy.
this video was ammmmazing!! you should definitely do more of these!!
This was so calming to watch. Was having a bad day until watching this. Thank you :)
I can see and feel some effects of art therapy here, great discovery and a whole new world!!
Oh Sarah, this was wonderful, just what I needed. Thank you so much. Lovely art you just introduced me to.
This video brings me comfort in 2022. Thank you!
What a great idea, such a great reminder to think about art and how it influences me instead of just blindly consuming as I do most of the time. Thank you!
This is so lovely and introduced me to some truly formidable artists+works. Thank you again, AA!
her voice is gorgeous
I really love that first piece!
This is a beautiful exercise and a fantastic video. And I'm weirdly flabbergasted by those sticky dots. I've never seen them before.
Yes, they're called "Magic Dots" and are very useful.
The Art Assignment they seem really cool! where did you get them?
One of the most beautiful, easygoing and productivity encouraging videos on CZcams. Thanks!
Although my favourite episodes are the Art Trip ones, this particular one compelled me to subscribe to the channel. Thanks!
i adore this idea and this video with every ounce of my being
Just wanna thank the team behind the Art Assignment and Sarah. This channel has always been so informative and interesting. Really appreciate you guys putting in the effort through these times.
playing this on loop as I sleep goodnight everyone
Love this channel. You gave me so good arguments when discussing about modern art. "I can do that", "that's just random paint" "what does that even means?"
Thank you
That was seriously one of the most delightful things I've ever seen.
Bless you Sarah Urist Green.
Love this idea!
This was so inspiring. I don’t know why making my own art book didn’t even come across my mind till now. Thank you for sharing this idea.
This channel is my therapy
Thank you for sharing and keeping the borders perfect....never realized I had OCD.
this video, like many of The Art Assignment’s, made me cry. 🧡
So comforting
Every time I watch your videos, I want to take an art appreciation course. Good thing I’m starting college this fall!! ❤️
I LOVED THIS. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
you inspire me. thankyou
Those rocks are incredible.
The articulation of The Art Assignment is wonderful. Thank you for what you do....There's no crime in having one's perception nudged. Seeing on the inside is a beautiful awareness.
My father was a mid-century artist. I'm writing a book about him which puts me in so many waves of emotions. When I watch your channel it brings me peace. The book "You Are An Artist" has helped me step out of my mind, appreciate the now and get a new perception. Thanks
I love this content so much.
Thank you for this, Sarah! It was good for the soul
I love this! I'd like to make my own art book this month.
I really find peace in this video. thank you. my favorite part was when you put your daughter's piece as the cover. so sweet. tell her I said keep it goin !
this video is calming and nice, but I wanted to say that the segue to talking about your other book was one of the most natural I've ever seen
For my next assignment I have to make a zine and I am so excited! I'll probably end up making like 2 or 3 and one of them is definitely going to be an artbook! I love making all sorts of mini books like these, not too refined with the proper binding or anything, just some pages stapled or sewn together. It's very therapeutic and I love doodling and painting in them so I guess my artbook will be slightly different since I'll be making my own art in it instead of putting pictures of other artworks. It'll still be super fun and I'm greatly looking forward to it!
thank you for the dopamine and the inspiration
