#2 Reading Questions

1) When the author goes over digital pieces that are done effortlessly, is it really completely ommited from being called "art" or can we still include it as "art", but in the form of exploration?

2) Will going back to older methods of how digital media was first created, bring back the sense of originality along with attractiveness, or will it just remain original with much avoidance?

Pt2:
1)Video art has become so creative, yet can be created by anyone, so how can one truely find the passion for an artist?
2)The author goes over the basics of video art, but what are each of the aspects of video art in order to even be considered apart of the digital art world?

Project #3: Animation Collaboration

Project #2: Animation

For this project, I chose to make the main super woman figures fly. It was a bit difficult in trying to make everything move at once and seem orderly, but I think I achieved the task. I made a few of the figures hide an come out to make it a little more unsuspecting. I also changed this image from when I last did the diptych. I felt this image was a lot more time consuming, but neater and not too pixelated. I enjoyed this project!

Project #1:Diptych

 For this project, we used the the overall theme of an apocalypse. My partner Rhea and I were fascinated with the idea of women dominating the universe so we used powerful women as our soul basis of the project. Although we took different approaches, both of the images portrayed women as strong creatures! My diptych was very astronomical due to my interest in astronomy and its physical features. I wanted my apocalypse to look as dangerous as possible for a background, but incorporate a bit of humor with the womanly cartoon figures that Rhea chose. Guns and weapons are a big danger zone as well so I used those in my image. I loved the composition, but the finish wasn't as I imagined because I altered the size of the image to fit the criteria after I finished the project; Had I done it before, the image would've looked more appealing because I would be able to stretch and shrink certain objects to fit perfectly.
