For this project I was trying to take a picture that appeals to the teenage generation, also others attracted to horror, and the other audience I was looking to appeal for are people who are addicted to actions flicks with a GREAT plot. Therefore I transformed the poster of Flight of the Phoenix with the poster of Friday the 13th Jason. The darker part of the poster obviously grabs the attention of people into dark, scary, horror themes. And the outer trim of the poster from Flight of the Phoenix gives it a colorful vibe which makes the movie seem more action-pack. The characters alone could make people want to go see this movie. Sex appeal from the actress, the jock, the smart well dressed gentle man. To pull it all together you have a scary looking lumber jack man in the eye of the mask of Jason, showing how he is the killer since he is behind the mask, kind of like the perspective of a killer.
If this poster were to be a real movie, I would most likely be the FIRST person to buy the ticket.
Midterm Diptych Artist Statement My Big Idea is purpose, sound, identity. When first observing these two spectacular pieces of art your mind may be lost in the amazement of them and don’t worry, that’s all right. But if you look closely my Big Ideas will suddenly pop out at you and grab your attention. You can see the purpose of signs peaking interests and leading to consequences of not obeying. You can witness the power off sound, or no sound. Observe how certain objects identify places and people. Money and time are two huge factors now days so don’t waste a second because time is money. The Big Idea is the foundation of this great country we live in, everything serves a purpose, sound keeps us in unison, and identity makes us whom we are.
Research tactics for this project came from
all the searching techniques that I’ve learned in class from using Flickr.com and Google images, and using specific search engines to find various image sizes.
The Big Idea that I choose is important to me because this is how I see life. I like to think others think like me, maybe not all the time, but I like to think for the most part people see things like me.
It was fun working with all the photoshop tools to make a creation like this.
I decided to go out on a limb and look up my own pics and flicks for this blog.
Growing up when I was younger and my parents having to work during the day meant that they would have to find a baby sitter. Personally I did not really care as long as I had my Tom and Jerry. Bob Frank the producer and animator for Tom and Jerry back in the good ole days was my hero. I was too young to read or concept everything too very well but I could tell the good episodes from the bad ones because of who the producer was, and Bob Frank was the best.
This appeals to me because the story of episodes are told through sounds and not words. Its inspiring to many people because no matter what what age, or any race can understand and follow the story through the sounds being made to represent the actions of the characters. As of now its obvious that this show describes the Big Idea of sound.
What began to trigger my curiosities of this show as of lately is how Bob Frank continued to think of different material to use to make noises for certain actions, and what the noises were created from. Also how he thought of most the episodes from the beginning to the middle to the end and how it all ties together to show a moral to the story. That's one of the reasons why my babysitter allowed me to watch, one, she liked to watch it(on the d.l.) and two, it taught lessons so all she had to do was sit me down in front of the t.v. and wait for my parents to return from work.
I was inspired by Bob Frank to make great stories as he did, but after I saw how episodes were created, clip by clip by clip I said it was too much work and my artistic skills were not up to par to do some thing like what he did.
The artist taught me how to interpret sound into a piece of work. Bob Frank inspired me to use all sorts of colors and sound in my final project.
I was never a bad kid growing up but some times I did catch myself in trouble after drawing on things that I wasn't suppose to haha. My art ed. class from last quarter involved a section on tagging which really sparked my interests. Again, I've never been a Picaso or anything like that but I do like to draw and freehand things and once I saw what Daim was about I thought he was very talented!
Daim's work is so appealing because it can really grab your attention and twist your mind. It's almost as if his work pops out of the wall.
His work is so inspiring. We saw a documentary about him and how he has all these followers starving to be like him and join the group.
The Big Ideas being expressed are identity, because in almost all forms of graffiti the artist will leave a signature on his artwork(although it is illegal to do what they do).
I will use an open mind on my final project, because that is one thing that I have learned from Daim, and from doing so he has became a huge inspiration to many people all over the world.
FINALMENTE!! That's spanish for finally, after being unable to to upload my blog picture many, many times I have managed to drag the picture from the desktop to this blog. Hopefully it uploads correctly because after all this time of trying is kind of wearing me down. Thanks for waiting though! Although there is one trick behind it, you have to go to the link above then open it up to see it.
Currently it is 2:42 a.m. and I have been working on this blog alllll night. For some reason it is not allowing me to copy and paste, or insert picture. If anyone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated because I am trying my best to get an A in this class, and at the moment "times is hard".
My big idea is Purpose and how almost everything serves a purpose in our day to day lives, no matter how random it is.
Purpose is my big idea. Why and how things with purpose play a major role in our lives every day. So big of a role that we forget that it is even there, it comes to us naturally. An example is of a traffic light, some thing so little (even though a stop light is actually bigger than assumed) influences the way we drive, in a way to keep us safe from running in to one another. So the ultimate purpose of a traffic light is to keep us safe, by not obeying the traffic light may cause accidents, some times very tragic accidents. Visual themes of the Brainstorming assignment are how other signs influence our actions from day-to-day such as a "Do not touch" sign. This is one of the more dangerous signs out in the World today. Because when you see it, you ask yourself "Why?" and your first impulse (at least for me) is to touch whatever the sign says do not touch. I choose this idea for my Big Idea project because it represents how every thing and anything no matter how big or small can serve a purpose some how.
REVIEWING & RESPONDING TO THE VISUAL BRAINSTORMING
Write a 100-150 word description of your Big Idea. Include the following in this short
passage:
1. Clearly state what your Big Idea is
2. Provide relevant connected issues and concerns in relation to the Big Idea
3. Discuss visual themes in your Visual Brainstorming assignment and the
relationship they have with the Big Idea
4. Provide an explanation for the significance of this Big Idea to you. Why did you
choose this Big Idea?
Print your Big Idea writing
Collect in groups of 3-4
Each group member should take a turn to share with the group in the following steps:
1. Display your work on your computer screen insuring that all group members can
see the work
2. Artist of the work being viewed should read aloud their written statement to the
other group members
3. Each group member should formulate one question about the work. Artists who
are presenting their work please record the questions offered by group members
on the bottom half of your printed statement. Questions should aim to help the
artist develop a deeper understanding of their Big Idea
a. Example of a good question: “In your assignment I am noticing a
recurrence of hands posed differently, how does this relate to your Big
Idea?
b. Example of question that does not delve deep enough: “ What is that blue
thing in the lower right hand corner?”
4. Discussion should ensue as the artist tries to answer the questions. Group
members should assist in forming answers or offering opinions.
5. After all members of the group have presented their artwork, select one group
member who will share their work and discussion findings with the class.
