Check In Artwork Project One

 Here's what I have so far. I know it's very basic but I've been working on other projects more than this one.

My appliance is an antique film projector. My initial idea was to reference the Ludovico technique scene from A Clockwork Orange, where Anthony would be bound by film and the projector would project a white glare on his face. I change my mind and started on trying to make a mass-digging crane as a way to mock how Hollywood runs out of ideas constantly and keeps remaking everything. The old film reels take the place of the mass digging saw, and the usual wires are going to be replaced by classic film.

I currently have no plans for the background, but it will most likely be a cemetery of 'dead' (aka soon to be rebooted) franchises. Sorry for the shite quality but I couldn't figure out how to make it upload otherwise, I kept getting an error message.

    The crane aspect fits really well with the body of the old movie projector, and I feel like you're in a really good place with your project. Also I have a suggestion about your background, since your idea is based on how Hollywood takes a bunch of films and remakes them/makes sequels out of them, what if the background is some sort of big factory. When I think of factories, my mind goes to mass production, mass identical production, and you could incorporate the "cemetery of dead films" on the factories conveyer belts.

    I agree with Yesenia, I think that the crane and the old movie projector mess really well together. Your creation feels very steam punk/industrial so maybe you could go that direction with the background. I think that you have a great start. As far as your uploading issues go, I use "lightshot" to take screenshots on windows or you would have to export (file -> export -> export as -> save as type -> jpg) from illustrator as a jpg to upload on the blog.

    I really love your concept, it's so unique! I look forward to seeing how it progresses. I watched the video clip Professor emailed us today and just followed along to figure out how to export the file properly and upload into my blog. It was super helpful to just follow along, however if it's an error message you're receiving I'm unsure how you could fix that? It might be useful to bring it up with Professor in your meeting since I know we'll be required to do it frequently in the future with this Project and others.

Project 4 ideas

 I've got no photos to show, as I've been using this class period trying to come up with any sort of idea that is both sequential and not dumb. I've decided that I will do a series of photos, lined up on a grid to display the passage of time.  I had a lot of ideas, but this is the one I've settled on. My idea will focus on a set of keys and what happens to them to make them lost. I'll have the actual work posted tomorrow.

Project Two Iconic Photo

Image
I chose the photo of Thich Quang Duc burning alive as my iconic photograph because three ideas on altering the image significantly jumped out right away. One of these images will be the car by itself, with the flames bursting from the hood. Another will be of Thich Quang Duc sitting by a body of water, the dark area of fire next to his face patterned on a cliff wall behind him to make a water reflection-like pattern. Another will be using the monk on the left of the image as a base for something, I don't know yet. And the final image I will make will take the same monk from the left and have him taking the gasoline can to his car, with a new setting outside of a gas station to give the illusion that his car simply broke down and he had to walk to purchase more gasoline.

So far, my main themes surround the cycle of creating art. Personally, I get motivated in more of a "do it or don't" sort of way; I generally wait until I have an idea to start creating; unless of course, I've had some booze. This is a bit of a self-destructive cycle, and that is sort of the idea I want to capilate on.  The one word I want to focus on is "self-destructive". This has been partially inspired by the idea of the tortured artist, as most artists are known for their legacy and the works they create when their life is full of strife, divorce, drinking, drugs, or infamy.
