Ronit Baranga Podcast Script
Today we’ll be looking at Ronit Baranga. Born in 1973, she is an Israeli ceramic artists. Baranga initially studied Psychology and Hebrew Literature, however, she ended up in Beit Berl College of Art studying Ceramic sculpture. While she started with drawing and painting, she eventually fell in love with ceramics because of its potential for unlimited options and the various methods in which you can shape your clay.
Furthermore, she likes sculpting works that generate conflicting emotions within the viewers to show that often the reality around us is complex and layed. She utilizes many human body parts and emotions in her works that make it beautiful and uncomfortable. One of her works “doubtfully alive” consisted of the relationship between people… and tableware! Taking a closer look she explains the tableware has the body parts human would interact with. She gave them “those” parts so it creates a scene where her art objects are interacting physically.
Her Grave Watchers Childhood is her continuous series that plays with innocents and intimidation. Additionally, this series was inspired by a historical sculpture and she added her own themes to it. In this case, the grave watchers are babies to be vulnerable and sweet, while the duality of is they also look threatening.
and this was the strange, but beautiful series of work of
Ronit Baranga.
The End.
Reflections:
Podcast project was interesting. The fun part of about this project for me would be seeing everyone else's and how they put theirs together. The Hardest part about doing this project was actually doing it because it is a really simple thing to do, so I kept getting distracted every few minutes. This would be an excellent way for students to get quick information about a subject. Additionally, you would be able to make the students make these short clips to share in class like we're doing in our class. It'll be a mass information gathering and sharing for the students that would be hopefully helpful.
