valedictory Final

Old vs New

I chose to do old vs New because I think that its cool to see how technology has grown throughout the years. I wanted to use an overlay to show the change or the improvement of the technology used though out the years. I like the concept of my idea but i wish it would of come out bester and more appealing to the eye i think if i took more time and thought out what i was doing the project could have been better. I just thought it was a cool way to show the difference in objects but they were used for the same thing like a DVD and a VCR tape they both have movies on them but used in a different time frame just like all the other objects as well. I am interested in how life was different when my parents grew up and even how I grew up compared to the way the kids in todays world are growing up. Kids today have a lot more advancements than my parents had when they grew up. You can only image what the future holds in technology. The first picture shown, is a record a CD and a cassete tape these are all objects that are used to listen to music in different eras. The second picture shown is of an old cell phone key pad overlaid with the iPhone electronic key pad showing the improvement of the technology and the phones. The third picture is of remotes there is an xbox one remote that is overlaid with a nintendo 64 remote showing the improvement of video games in general. On the remotes you can see that one is defiantly more complex showing the improvement of the remotes. The 4th picture is of a gameboy and a wii remote. I wanted to show how games were handheld and kind of big vs a wireless game today. The last photo is of a VCR tape and a DVD showing the improvement of technology for showing movies. I really like how this shows the improvement of the technology through the years in one picture.

Examples

Interesting angles

Camera angles are used to position the viewer so that they can understand the relationships between the characters. 

 Sit Down: Gives you a lower perspective which gives you more verity to your work

Reflection:Reflections can be great tools for changing perspective. As well as the obvious choices such as landscapes reflected in mirror-like lakes, look for puddle

Go Wide:The camera then stitches the images together so you have a sweeping shot of the scene you're shooting.

Progress check 

I am doing old vs new via technology because the technology through the years have improved greatly. I think its cool to see the difference between the new and old form of video games, music, movies. I just feel that its interesting to see the improvement of technology through the years. I want to take pictures of say a DVD and then a VCR tape to show that they are the same thing they both play movies on it but have evolved. I want to overlay the two photos to represent that they are the same thing but different by the time period. I could use three as well because of the music there was records, casette tapes and now today there are CD. I just want to show/ express how the technology world is improving and how they are trying to keep things new.

Surrealism Final

Tiff: The pose that I chose for my outside personality was to cover my hands over my face to signify that I am shy when you first meet me.  I feel I do become more outgoing after I know someone for awhile. My inside personality is shown through the rail road tracks. The track signify that I love to travel and explore new and different things.

Corinne: The pose that Corinne chose was to show that she is a more of a shy person and more reserved. The "inner" personality of Corinne is music. She is an amazing singer and she loves to play the piano.

Tiff: The pose that I chose to do was to "laugh" making my head go up in the air. This signifies that I like to make people laugh and i love to have a good time. The "inner" me is shown through a sunset and a rainbow. This is showing that i enjoy being outside and enjoy the beautiful senery around us.

Corinne: the "outer" personality of Corinne is shown through the pose when her hand is reaching for something showing that she is always determinted to do her best. The "inner" personality is shown though the sunset and the clouds this signify that she enjoys summers and loves to be outside.  

I really do like double exposure i think it gives the photos a cool and unique quality. Sometimes i would really like two photos that i thought they would go perfectly together and find out that they don't look good at all or not what i wanted. That is what was the most frustrating part of the whole project. I also like the concept of an "inner" you and and "outer"you in this project and make that one piece. All an all i really enjoyed this project.

Examples from Artists

Shooting Assignment- Double Exposure

Rene Margritte and Surrealism

1.     What is surrealism? Surrealism is a creative potential of the unconscious mind.

2.     What motif did Magritte use in many of his works? Why was this significant? The man wearing a bowler hat became his motif throughout his paintings this is significant because it is a self-portrait.

3.     In his work Golconda, why is it important that Magritte varied the image of the man in the bowler hat?  How does it add depth to the work? It was important that Magritee varied the size of the man in this picture to give this picture a better depth of field. By making the men bigger it made the viewer feel like the man were closer than the ones that were smaller. Also he used he painted more detail on the men closer to you in the picture.

4.     Why did surreal artists choose to create strange worlds with their art?

They explained since we already know what the world look why don’t we express our dreaming minds, which can create strange worlds.

5.     Explain how the techniques of juxtaposition, altered scale, and language help Magritte explore Surrealism.

Juxtaposing ordinary but unrelated thing could be a disorienting and powerful like waking up form a strange dream. An altered scale also gives that feeling of Surrealism as well as language. Surrealism is having creative ideas from your unconscious mind.

6.     What would be a few reasons why Magritte would cover the faces of his subjects?

Some reasons why Magritte would cover the face of his subjects is to hide the facial features, so the subject could potentially be anyone, He wants the viewer to guess what the object in front of the face is hiding and why that is.

7.     Why did Magritte strive for realism & precision in his paintings?

He believed it allowed the viewer to focus on the subject, instead of the techniques that were used to make the piece

Inward:

Gentleness – Showing consideration and personal concern for others

Sensitivity – Perceiving the true attitudes and emotions of those around me.

hard working-tending to work with energy and commitment; diligent

Exquisite Corpe

 

Each section of this piece was done by someone different. This is shows that different people interpret things differently and their imaginations. This activity relate to surrealism by using different ideas from different people and making it one final project.

At first I didn't like it. Then later on I thought it was pretty interesting and is just something new. I enjoyed the end results i think they look interesting! I more of a perfectionist that's why I didn't feel that dada was something I would like

This ties into aspects of dada by the way we were cutting things and placing them into random order. Dada is all about abstract and we used that throughout this whole project

Questions about art

Questions about Art

1.  A work of art is something someone made by using their imagination and skill in the process. There are many different qualities found in art work there are bright happy painting and you have dark and sad painting. Also lines shapes and more describe qualities found in art works.
2. Art work should provide both the maker and viewer a type of emotion that being happy or sad. I also think both the viewer and the maker should see a story behind the art work itself
3. People make art because of religion beliefs, political and educational. Also people make art to please them or someone else
4. You can encounter art almost anywhere you go. You see art everywhere either that be a painting or simply something someone invented like a bike.
5. The role of the artist is to make a piece of art work to give emotion, ideas and opinions to the viewers.

 Abstract:

MoMA & Dada

World War I and Dada

• Dada is a type of art movement influenced by World War I. Artist were not trying to impress they wanted to discuss. The ideals of Dada art came about form activities form small groups of artists and poets in Zurich. They wanted an alternate vision on the world.

Marcel Duchamp and the Readymade

• The readymades defined the notion that art must be beautiful.  Duchamp used everyday objects to show a visual indifference. Duchamp paved the way for conceptional art.
• This changes my expectations about what art can be because you have to put into consideration that DADA is art because someone had to put it together or just invent

Chance Creations: Collage, Photomontage, and Assemblage

•  Dada artists embraced chance, accident, and improvisation. Such forces figured prominently in their creation of collages assemblages, and photomontage—and subverted elements that had long defined artistic practice, like craft, control, and intentionality.
• It was a form of personal protest and a tool for critiquing the increasingly mechanized, violent world in which they lived

Artist Collaboration

• art lay not in the work produced, but in the act of making and collaborating with others to create new visions of the world.

Word Play

• They used poetry and literature; turning words and letters into abstract form and stripping form
