This entry includes some of my inspiration for project 2. My idea is to show how college students can feel. Time is going by quicker than we would like, yet we don’t know what direction we want our lives to go in. I want to combine both a clock and compass to represent time and… Continue reading Extra Entry #2

In this post I included some of my inspiration for my first project. For this project, I want to reflect our society’s obsession with their phones/social media. I also wanted to show that people are blinded by the things on their phone, and it is keeping them from seeing the beauty of the real world.

I think I will be able to take my experiences in the class with me in the future. I will be able to use the skills I learned in photoshop and final cut pro for future projects in classes, and maybe even jobs I may have. I think that the biggest thing I learned in… Continue reading Week #15 Entry

Docile Bodies by Michael Foucault was long and a little bit harder to understand. What I got from the text, is that the body is a subject of attention. He talks about soldiers and controlling bodies.

This distracted me from actually attempting to decipher the message she is trying to convey. Maybe… Continue reading Week #12 Entry

When I first started reading the article about the man with an ear on his arm, I thought that maybe he made a sculpture of an arm with an ear on it. I quickly discovered that he is getting surgery to have an ear on his arm. He is taking art to a whole new… Continue reading Week #11 Entry

This text by Marshall McLuhan led me to think about a lot of other things. We all know that artists have a message in mind when creating their pieces. However, I think that people interpret different pieces based off of their own life and experiences. For example, if an artwork involves a closed door, someone might… Continue reading Week #10 Entry

This week we are starting to talk about our 2nd project. Learning how to make 3D objects on photoshop has definitely been a challenge so far but I am still learning. I have been practicing using different tutorials in order to familiarize myself with the different tools I will need on photoshop. The examples we have… Continue reading Week #9 Entry

Virtual reality has always been something that has intrigued me. However, I always associated my thoughts of virtual reality with video games. I never thought of how virtual reality could be used as a medium for art as well. From what I understand from Hagen’s article, artworks via virtual reality are still a newer thing… Continue reading Week #8 Entry
