week ten

this week i was able to learn about how to use final cut. this is a program that i have never heard of or used. even though none of my finals are going to be vidoes i have enjoyed learning about how to use to program just for future reference. it seems to be a little complicated but just like every program you will get used to it.

working on my finals i am really happy with how they are looking, the invitation that i made using the collage technique that we learn't in photoshop is looking great, it is now finished and printed on gloss paper. my other final that i have finished is the three matte photographs that i had frame in mount board. i really like the mood of these as they are black and white and really dark, but the mask is in full colour.

the next final that i am going to finish is going to be my triptych where i will print my edited images onto iron transfer paper and iron them onto material and stretch a canvas out of it.

week nine

Unfortunately this week i was unable to attend the art class, but i was able to continue on with my work at home. i have decided to make a kind of 3D image with half being matt and half being gloss. to do this i have decided that i will edit an image of a girl in a mask and edit it twice. once making it with dull colours and not very focussed, the next one with be very vibrant and crisp. with this i will have the dull image on the bottom then onto i will have jut the mask cut out and mounted up on bits of foam onto the dull image to look like she is taking the mask off, or its coming off. this looks really good in my head and i dont know if i have described it well. hopefully i can full it off and it looks as good as a final as it does in my head.
for this idea was inspired when i was looking at just regular novels in the book shop and i noticed that alot of the covers had just specific sections that were glossy, this made me think about how i could interpret this into my work. so from that i came up with the above idea.

week eight

Todays lesson i got to see other peoples ideas and where they were going with their folio. i also presented my ideas and one of my finals. i feel it went well and i was i was abl to get feedback from others and yourself (Jenna) i think im on the right track with my work which is a good feeling and i have come up with ideas that i didnt think i would be able to.

Todays lesson didnt really goes as planned as i didnt bring a tape for the video camera and was unable to participate in the lesson. so today i was able to just continue on with my folio and works, i like having time in class to be able to continue my work as at home i have an older version on photo shop and is quite slow, so i value the time i have to work on my finals in class.

As for my video i am still stuck on an idea that i could use so i still need to get in the mind space of thinking about how i could incorporate my theme and message into video.
