week Eleven

In today's session I had edited photos that I had taken in my room. To create lighting I used a lamp and the flash to create different looks. The final images look really good with a black and white filter over the top.
The images below are some of the attempts for my finals.

All my photos were edited in photo shop.

These images are all of myself. the image on the top right is taken in a photo frame that i have influenced by the image of a girl standing on the beach in a frame. I took many images of myself in a frame and i used the light of the curtain to imitate a 'trapped' 'jail' look.

week Ten

Video art:
Today's session is based on contemporary video art.
Tony Oursler - video artist. He projects many images onto buildings, smoke and objects.
they eye projection portrays a creepy sense of someone watching you. His faces talk directly to the audience, as it's layered onto 3D objects it makes the audience feel like they are actually talking to someone.
hidden projection
Matthew Barton- A series of 5 video works, film out of order. They were film from the 90's to a couple of years ago. I find these videos very strange and hard to understand, if you didn't read the concept/message behind each video. The cremaster cycle.

Jenna gave a mini lesson to a few of us on how to create a video using movie cut pro. This programs allows you to manipulate the video/s in many ways. Although this is the first time I have used the program I hope that I will be able to get a good video out by the due date.
This week I will be focusing on taking short clips then using cut pro to put the all together with sound effects.

Influences

I have found images that i find interesting and may influence my finals!

Week Nine

Presentations commenced.

Creating videos!
As I was away last week I need to catch up on how to use the video making program correctly. i was thinking of creating a video as my final piece however i will see how this class goes and see how well i can use the program before i make it 100 percent.

Peter Callas - Australian video artist from the 60's and he is still making work today. He talks a lot about cultural identity. Especially in the areas he has lived e watched a video he created and in the video he is trying to expose the hidden meanings in Japanese games and how young children and hooked on them at a very young age. We also watched a small clip made in 1988 where he is focusing on the history of white man coming to Australia.
VAIL EXPORT- this is another video artists discussed today.

Gary Hill - American born artist, he brands text into his video art. We watched a small clip of the incidence of the catastrophe 1987 -1988. this clip is very dark and shows water flowing over a sand bank. Text appears however its hard to read due to its close up shot. The word water continues to show.

The images on my blog are just interesting images i found. the photo frame one really gave me a good idea for my regret theme.

week Eight

I was away sick this week. I worked on my finals at home.

Week Seven Blog

Today's session was based on using corel painter x again, however this time we used the clone tool and discovered how to create an animation. I found the animation tool very useful and I had managed to create three moving pictures. Now that i have discovered this tool i am now thinking that want to include it into my artworks. I am thinking that my regret and drunk images will incorporate the animation. With the animation I will be using text based flashes. At the moment I will play around with the tool and see what looks best in terms of effect and colours to suit the image.
presentations today were great, I really enjoyed the framed images that were influenced by Andy Wahol. Oliva's work will look great and I'm looking forward to watching her cloud video.
overall the classes ideas and concepts of how the perceived things and what their meaning is beahind their work is really interesting.

- video didnt work, took to long to load, i will try put it up next week!
This is one of the animations I made. I really like it and it didn't take very long.
