Bedroom Cubist Photograph

What do you like?
Over all I think my favourite part is the bottom half and the left side going up. Just because I feel they are the most correct when it comes to cubism. I like the way I was able to put in the cabinet because it holds the things that are the most important to me. I was also happy to include my dog, Mollie, just sitting on the bed because even though she's not 'a part' of my room she is still a very important aspect of my life and I think that was the point of doing our bedrooms for this project to show what is important in our lives.

What don't you like?
I really dislike the top right area of the picture. It looks really jumbled and not so neat. The jersey's in my room are a significant part and I'm not to impressed with they way they turned out and I couldn't figure out how to fix them. So I am kind of disappointed with that part because I really wanted them to stand out.

What would you change if you were able to do it over?
I think I would take a completely different approach I would actually think about where the pictures were going to go before I took them. That way I could make things look more like they fit there. I would also try to find a better way to get light into my room because I don't really like the lighting. That would be difficult though considering I only have one small window that lets in natural light.

(there I think I answered the right questions see you sometime next week hopefully!)

Barbara Kruger Assignment

1. What do you like?
I like the image over all actually. I like most of it anyway. I like my phrase and how with it every person that reads it can think of something different so it means a variety of things. I like the picture I got and love how I actually found something I really wanted to use for once.

2. What don't you like?
I don't really like how I had to get rid of the edges I liked it better before but I had to follow Barbara Kruger. I don't really like the positioning of the picture I don't really know why. I think it might be to close too the centre.

3. What is the message to society?
The message is for all the fakes all the people that can't accept how they look so they get surgery after surgery to "fix" themselves. I used a statue of the Goddess Aphrodite, in Greek mythology she is the Goddess of love and beauty and is supposed to be the most beautiful of all the Goddesses. People try to hard for perfection and they look at the famous people and the more fortunate and always compare themselves.

Barbara Kruger

a. What do you see in this piece of art (describe it)?I see a woman with a double identity. Maybe someone that isn’t comfortable in their own skin or even someone that is too comfortable. A person with everything on the outside but the inside is a big puzzle.

b. What kind of message is the artist giving in this piece of art? I think the artists message is to be yourself don’t be someone that you don’t want to be because of other people.

c. Do you like or dislike Kruger’s work? Why?
I kind of like it. It’s really questionable and keeps your mind going and you don’t always know what she’s trying to tell people.

Master Painting Animation

1. What do you like?
I like how everything happens at once so it all looks like it's working together. I also liked how my image gave me so much to work with I could move alot of things around. I didn't really have to question much with it. I kind of like my sounds I think some of them make it a little more enjoyable and humerous.

2. What don't you like?
I didn't like that I didn't do this right. I should have allowed myself to seperate some of the animations so that they all didn't start at the same time. I wish I could have got the hand to look more like it was reaching out. I also wish my photoshop kills were a bit better because I had alot more ideas but I didn't have the experience or ability to get it.

3. How have you changed the meaning of the painting?
I really don't think I've changed it much other than making it more out there. It was already a crazy image to start with. I just made it even more unbelievable and unrealistic. I really like the magic realism stuff it is quite interesting.

Brainstorm Animated Painting

1. I can move the faces into different parts of the buildings.
2. I can stretch things to make it look like the buildings are growing.
3. I can make the hand at the front make it look like its grabbing out at the viewer.
4. I can move different objects in the picture.
5. I can make the old man sitting in the chair fall into the hole.
I can use wind and eerie sounds with pops and bangs.
