For my project I decided to focus on the meaning of worth and worthlessness. Sometimes people give more credit to feeling worthless than feeling that they are worth it. To illustrate this concept, I made Worth as a girl trapped under a black and white environment in the wet and cold, and gave worthlessness a beautiful look. I made worthlessness wear a dress of red to symbolize demons. When people continuously say they are worthless, they are giving worthlessness a spotlight, and leaving their worth in the dark. For the effects of the video, I did a lot of reverse, speeding up, color change, tv simulator effects, and black and white effects. I used final cut pro and a T3i rebel camera. It was a lot of fun filming it in the water, but it was a mess as well. Originally I was supposed to film outside, but I decided that if I film the two elements where it looks like they are trapped, it would be better. I want people to realize how much they are worth. I decided to do this concept...

Jen was my partner! When we were thinking of my piece, I looked at things I usually enjoy. I enjoyed watching people recording and doing weird stuff in stores and always wondered if I could ever do that. Since I have an overwhelming sense of social anxiety, I try not to draw attention to myself, yet wish that I could do the things youtubers do best. My piece is based on just contently being yourself. I want to illustrate that you can be weird and do what you please in public, no matter what the public eye says. I see performance art as an interesting concept. from flash mobs to protest, performance art can really have an everlasting memory for those who see it. Some performance arts can be seen as extreme, and can be essentially violent to oneself, bodily harm to make a statement can be seen as too intense for public eyes, but it does make a statement. whether it reaches the peoples minds can be a challenge. When the performance is recorded I think a lot more people can see it...

 For techno, I think the band Darude should go into this category. They came out with the popular techno song Sandstorm. Which is very techno, and similar to the techno world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6120QOlsfU  For Goth, I would like to put Dot Dot Curve in the list. Dot Dot Curve is very pop-goth cultured. They have an emo attraction to them as well as a metal. I could also put this group in punk, but it seems more on the emo side. Their songs are catchy, and have many instrumentals in them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeSzEmoCwlg  For dubstep, I'd like to choose a DJ that creates songs through collaboration with other artist. He goes by Marshmellow, and likes to hide who he is, giving off a mysterious vibe. He hides his face through a Marshellow mask. His beats rang from dubstep to hip hop to EDM, which initially is a form of dubstep. https://youtu.be/oRArmtMA9AI For the virtual I had to do a bit of research. Virtual singers like Hatsune Miku ...

My art is based on the graffiti art movement. I choose wings because I love that graffiti art can be interactive instead of just on the wall. I love graffiti art because I feel like it can both artistic and interactive and a bit rebellious. I felt like the wings were something that some people dreamed of having. My original idea was to scan main  parts of my body, like my face and my arms and legs, for the middle part and recreate myself in the wings. But instead of putting myself in the middle to recreate myself, I used the rest of the pieces of the cut paper from my scans to create a mystery body. I decided to only glue the bottom of the hand scans to the board so that it would look kind of like the hands could be ruffled or moved. I wanted it to look like wings, so I turned the hands on the left side slightly different than I did the right side. Here is the picture I based it off of: Work;

my grid art is based upon my picture that I drew a few weeks ago. Originally my design was supposed to be complex, but upon the arriving deadline, I realized it may not be possible. Grid art can be beautiful and if done by hand can be complex and take a while. When you look afar at grid art, it may seem easy and simple, however, grid art is not always easy and can be quite tedious when it comes to working on it. My grid art was complex, I had completed it within four-five hours, but it was hard. My original material was supposed to be clear thumb nails, however, when I ordered them, they arrived at a different location, so I had to improvise. For the thumb nails, I was supposed to paint all 900 of them. So for my improvisation, I painted my picture. Since I was going to do circles anyway, I did drawn circles. One of the most difficult things about grid art is that it will not come out looking the exact same as your picture if you section it in just colors without details. It will l...

For this project I used characters that I had created. The characters background makes sense for the animation I created. The girl and boy are mortal enemies and assassins, but also childhood friends, they follow a one sided love for the man. For the animation they start off in a fight but the man starts to show off his skills, and even kisses her. She gets angry and throws her last weapon, but he ends up catching it and drawing 'I love you' on the tree. Originally it was supposed to be digital and even longer than 200 frames, but hearing about this project, I took the liberty to start the animation and end it differently. I find it interesting that some people do this on a daily basis. stop motion is already tedious enough, and this project was fun but also frustrating. I wanted it to be a lot more detailed than It was but I didn't have enough time. this project also allowed me to play around. The hardest part of this project was probably the scene where they...

Taylor Guyton Art 211 Blanka Roundtree 28 February 2018 Electronics             Art and technology has come a long way. One technical object that has come a long way is the drawing tablet. Drawing tablets are used by artist all around the world. It helps artist draw digitally on the computer which is entirely different from drawing on paper. Digital arts have prospered throughout the years as they continuously make more tablets more accessible and easier to use. Most of the artist who do use the tablets are illustrators and digital animators. For a long time, animation was hand drawn. Then Wacom decided to come out with the Wacom bamboo tablet, however, before there was Wacom, there was apple. In 1979, apple created a tablet for graphics (Smith).   Apple actual did not create the tablet itself, they worked with someone who did make it. The company was called Summagraphics (Smith). Apparently, it was not we...
