Final project for 4D

I decided for my final project I wanted to create another gif because I had so much fun with the gifs we made earlier in the semester. I also thought it was a perfect medium for the time based project. When I read about what a time based art piece was all I could keep thinking about was a snapshot of someone’s life over time. I felt like that would be the most common kind of time based art, showing someones life over time through pictures or videos kind of like a slide show so I wanted to do something similar but kind of fun. I decided to portray the life of a strawberry in a short gif. I liked drawing my gifs in the last project so I decided to do that in this one as well but also incorporate some regular pictures and play around with photoshop a little more with lighting and cropping. Although I love art I feel like this class helped to expand my horizons and try new things and I tried to portray that through my last project by making something fun and different. Overall I think it turned out alright :)

Project #5 This project was a bit more challenging for me. I've never done any performance art or really knew much about performance art until this module so for me it was difficult to come up with an idea of something that I would be considered to be a performance art piece. When I think of performance art I think of something that takes someone out of their comfort zone to create some sort of feeling and portray that feeling. For me I chose running because that is something that is definitely out of my comfort zone. Throughout my life I've alway thought of myself as an active person however I always avoided running like the plaque. Although my video to me doesn't look exactly like what I would portray a performance art piece to be I think it encompasses some of the elements a performance art piece has; it definitely took me out of my comfort zone and out of my element and because of that you can see the emotion in my face unfortunately lol and how much I'm struggling with it haha and how much I really don't like it. 😜

Film Response: The Artist is Present

This film was very interesting. Marina as an artist is very intriguing and it was interesting to learn about her and her work as well as different parts of her life. Some of her performances were just crazy to me and I thought to myself those would not be something I would be able to do but that is probably what makes her so entertaining and such a successful artist. I agree with some of my classmates that you get this feeling that it's more about selling the art and her as an artist then it actually is about the act of performing the art anymore. Overall it was a good film to watch and again just like the reading it gave me another perspective of performance art and opened up my mind to come up with something for my own performance piece.

Reading Response: Roselee Goldberg

I really enjoyed this reading, for me it was very informational. Before this reading when I thought about performance art I thought mainly of performances on stage like plays and operas or even concerts as well as I thought about people creating art for an audience but this article really broke down what performance art was. It showed me that there is such a wide opportunity in performance art and there is so much is can encompass. I also like how she pointed out that performance art isn't really something that is studying throughout art history because there isn't much to study except pictures of the performance and statements from on lookers. I think that's one of the great things about performance art but at the same time I feel like maybe that's why it's taken so long for performance art to be recognized as a fine art even though, like Roselee pointed out, artists even such as Leonardo da Vinci and Lorenzo Bernini have done performance art all throughout history. I feel it's because there is not much that can be studied or viewed. Overall I think this was a great article and it really opened up my mind to performance art and all it can entail.

Project #4

Project #4 This project was the most challenging of all the projects for me. I have never used video before to create art so this was something completely new and I had never used anything like iMovie or final cut so learning my way around those was interesting! The only movies I make are short videos to send to people or post on social media so I used what I know best to create art lol. These clips are from videos sent back and forth between my boyfriend and I this last week while he was on vacation. I decided to play with the lighting and color to create this contrast between this beautiful paradise he was in and the cold weather I was enduring. I really wanted to create a contrasting feeling between the two but keep it all playful that's why I added the background music I did. I took the vanishing and reappearing pretty literally in this project as well. Overall I think it turned out ok for my first video art!

Module 4 Reading Responses

Both readings were very interesting to me and made me think about motion and videos in a different way. Chapter 6, Time and Motion, really taught me a lot about how you can manipulate and use both elements to portray certain illusions or feelings in still life's and motion pictures. When I think of portraying time in things like paintings I think instantly of Masaccio's Renaissance painting, The Tribute Money, where he depicts time by showing three different scenes all in one piece and repeating figures. The chapter opened me up to even more possibilities of representing time as well as motion by manipulating certain aspen of those elements like the speed and tempo of something or actually using physical time and something progressing to make a more dynamic piece. Cubitt's article really made me think about how we view videos and motion pictures and how they really originated. When we think of videos we think of it as a modern technology and even a more modern art form but its origins come from ancient times of light and shadow movements. I like how a unity references the teachings of Melanie Klein and projection and how it affects children's development and how they see the world around them. In the end that's what projection comes down to, how our brain processes shadow, light and movement to create the world around us.

Artist Statement:

When I first thought of this project it made me think of old animated cartoons and drawings and that is what I was inspired by. I wanted to try and recreate something that had that same look and felt very old school and animated. I decided to draw each of my gifs in individual frames and then create a gif out of it. I think when I started with this idea I didn’t actually realize how much drawing it would be lol because by the end of it I felt like I bit off more that I could chew but I think overall they turned out pretty well and I like the fact that I created each one from scratch. I think that this project was the most interesting one for me so far I loved creating the gifs and seeing what different things I could come up with and how I could manipulate them by drawing and using photoshop to make a still image come to life.
