Response to One and Three Chairs based on Plato

1. There are three chairs in Kosuth's artwork. These three chairs are just shown from different viewpoints. There is the chair in reality done by the maker of the chair. A chair is shown front on in an imitation of a chair that was in reality done by the maker of the chair. A chair is shown front on in an imitations of a chair that was in reality. Their third chair is a noun and an interpretation of a chair. All three pieces are chairs but the 3D chair is the only one seen in reality.

2. Plato would consider the middle wooden chair the real chair. He talks about beds and tables being in reality and those who paint them imitating the real chair and just making an appearance. Plato would consider the wooden chair to have been created and made. He would have said the photograph of the chair is done as an imitation of the wooden chair, ad i believe he would have said the definition was an interpretation of the "real" wooden chair.

Final Project Proposal

For my final I project I am planning on making a stop motion animation. I will do drawings and then erase to create the animation. I am going to show the seasons through my animations, showing one house for the entire time but have the weather and holidays change around it. I will do it in charcoal and incorporate accents of color using chalk pastels.
