Brainstorming for Rotoball Amamation.

Step 1 Brainstorm: A ball gets passed to you as you are running down the hill. You look at it, and transform it into cluster of leaves. The leaves then turn into one big leaf.  They then all fall to the ground and get raked up into a ball. The ball is then kicked to the next person.

This Masterpiece.

Reflection

1. What I liked about this picture I did was the photograph I chose. The woman is the photo is looking into a mirror and in my mind she is thinking about herself and critiquing herself on her looks. I also like the red lips because it gives the photograph a pop of colour.

2. What I did not like about this piece was the burning on the mirror. I felt like I could have done a better job on it. I also could have placed my words better so they would flow more effectively.

3. The message that this picture gives to the viewer is: What you see you in mirror may look like a masterpiece, but it can sometimes just be a part we portray. People who have a lot of wealth in their lives, may look happy to everyone else because they have everything that anyone could ever want. Such as good looks, a beautiful home, and designer clothing. But it really is what they have inside that counts. This person could really be the most miserable person in the world., but she is portraying herself as a masterpiece, which is how she wants to be seen.

Brushes.

Miss. George, I was not here the first day of class this was assigned, so I went in at lunch later on to finish it.

My Alter Ego

Refection: What i liked most about my alter ego was all of the bright colours. My favourite part is the paint brushes in the right bottom corner that i used. They look like rays of light that makes the eye move inward to the picture.

What I like the least about my alter ego is my picture. I think that it does not flow or blend in as nice as it should. I could have added more brushes to help it blend. Another thing i would have changed would be to put a filter over the picture of the girl in the left hand corner.

One thing that I would change about my picture would be the position of the Africa continent. It just looks like it is sitting there. I would have added more brushes around it and changed the size of the picture as well. Another thing I would also change would have been my colour variations. I really stayed close just to a lot of light pinks and yellows Although, I really like those colours I think if I would have added different ones it could have increased the all round visual aspect in my picture.

Barbara Kruger Media Arts Assignment: Your Body is a Battleground

STEP ONE- choose one of Kruger’s pieces of art from above and CRITIQUE it on your Blog answering the following questions

a.        What do you see in this piece of art (describe it)?

        In this peice of art i see a woman who is trying to express two sides of herself.

b.       What kind of message is the artist giving in this piece of art?

        I think this artist is giving the message that peoples bodies are a place of destruction. A place where we alter our image and this woman is seeing herself as two separate people.

c.       Do you like or dislike Kruger’s work? Why?

        I like Kruger's work because it gives the message she is trying to give off through a simple artistic form of black and white photo's with red lettering.

My Alter Ego Is

My alter ego is a peron who drifts away into colourful land while reading the latest roamance novel. My alter ego is a person who plans on traveling to countries that dont have glitz and glamour but people who are in tune with their culture and not drooling over the latest Guess Purse. My alter ego is someone who is willing to do crazy things such as jumping off planes and having kids.
