week 5
Today our art proposals are due.
The topic today is collage, i had found this image on Jenna's Blog. I really like this image and they way the tiny pieces make up a large clear image. if you look as a larger size of this image the bushes aren't matched up at all, however when you look far away it seems to all join up and looks just like salt tolerant plants are present.
I have been trying to upload a collage image I had made during class, however the image icon wont work anymore. I will try another day and hopefully it will load up.
Inspiration for my final works will come from Sarah Barker and her 'The birthday party" range.

When I create my "regret" artwork i will be taking into account the way this photo is taken. I love the reflection in the mirror and the way she is portrayed in the image. I also like how the viewers eyes are drawn to the whole image rather than just a center feature.

Week 4
In today's lesson we learnt how to use our digital camera to get a certain look. I have discovered what the marco tool does on my camera and i also found many functions that i didn't know existed on my camera. I have found the marco tool very effective when taking up close images with the background blurry. I think my camera works really well in this mode and i will be using it for my final portfolio.
We had been introduced to the film room which was great, it has lost of equipment we can access and i am thinking of using it when i make my film for the final portfolio.
I will try to put up some photo's however I left my camera cable at home this lesson, therefore ill try to get them up next week.
Just added the photo I took of my perfume bottle, I was using the super marco function on the camera. You can see that the silver part has been in focus and the background has been blurred. I believe this effect looks great.

week 3
Mobile phone art!
today I had discovered that a mobile phone can be used in a variety of ways to create digital art. From blue tooth to a ring tone symphony, mobiles can be a very useful tool in creating art.
However as my mobile phone will only send music files to the computer, I may have to discover a new way to transfer it if i want to used mobile art as one of my themes.
My "all versions of going out" theme has really fallen in place this lesson. I have thought about what i want to do individually with each "version" such as a fun scene, drunk scene, drug scene and then a video at the end summing up all the points. I am excited about this class and hopefully my vision works out!

Week two
This week we are focusing on text and the various ways it can be used it images and artworks. I have created a small brainstorm with the topic of club/party scene in my mind. I have found that this has enabled me to explore my topic in more depth and I tend to be thinking about it on a larger scale.
Now that i have more ideas and concepts for my digital art work i can scrap the ones that I'm unsure about and have back up ideas for future.
below is a website that has an image totally constructed by text. I found this very detailed, yet if you look at the image from far away you wouldn't notice that it was made from text at all!

Week One
Jenna,
What I am expecting to get out of this class is a general understanding of digital art and the many forms it can displayed in. I'm also very interested in the video genre and learning how to use programs to get a desired look or message across.
An image i found on www.rhizome.com really captured my eye. I tend to like images that are similar with color shapes and collage like effects.
The link is http://rhizome.org/art/?tag=abstract.

I had trouble getting the picture on this blog. The image is three pictures down and the artist is Aaron Siegal.

A second image that got my attention was the animated flashing squares of color and shape. this is a moving art work that looks like lights flashing which could be added to an advertisement. Link http://www.hansup.be/deus-digitalis/. The artists name is Hans Vergaegen.
This semesters theme I am focusing on is Party/Club scene.
