A5: Xerox

Battle of the Birds



For my xerox art I decided to style it after Andre Masson's sand art. I tried to follow the same kind of process of trying to draw with my subconscious by involving chance. I cut out the general outline for the xerox images and then I randomly ripped and threw them onto the canvas. From there I started to rearrange them to try and form some sort of monster and I ended up getting the two bird like creatures. After I had those formed I took a bottle of glue and I started to randomly spread it around the canvas and then I flung sand onto it and waited until I thought the glue had dried before tipping it over to get rid of the excess. I added some red charcoal masks to distinguish the eyes and then more or less at random everywhere else. I titles it battle of the Birds as a play on Andre Masson's sand art Battle of the Fishes.

BP2: Raul Cuero's interview

I found the actual progression of the interview to be extremely dull.There were certain answers/ stories I would have been more interested in hearing Cuero elaborate further on rather than having him continue on with answering this set list of questions. But regardless of that after hearing Raul Cuero talk about himself I do think that he is a pretty amazing and inspiring person. Two quotes from the interview that I found really interesting were from his response to whether or not he thought children born into luxury were at a creative disadvantage. Cuero said that, "creativity had to do with how you perceive nature in relation with you existence",as well as that,"ideas emerge from interactions with other ideas". While I do agree with these statements to an extent I do not agree with Cuero one hundred percent.When talking about ideas emerging from other ideas Cuero implies that this can only happen through direct communication with other individuals, and once again...

A6: Performance Art

For my performance art piece I dressed up in my Spryo the dragon onesie and walked around the park, picking up "treasure" while I played music from the original game through a small speaker attached to my bag. I wanted to do something a bit more fun and humorous and given that Spyro is a pretty iconic/ recognizable character I thought I would be able to get better reactions from other people. Both the music and my actions of picking up gems/treasures were from the original game Spyro the Dragon . Not that many people gave noticeable reactions to my performance, most would smile but then look away very quickly or they would simply ignore me. The best reactions I got came from children and people who seemed to recognize who I was dressed up as. The entire experience was not that much fun for me, I got hot very quickly inside the onesie walking around the park, my view was blocked because of the way the hoodie was designed,  and needless to say it was pretty embarrassing. I...

A7: Video Deconstruction

Video Deconstruction: Storytelling For my video deconstruction I took inspiration from The Wayseer Manifesto in how he used a variety of clips to provide a visual to his own manifesto. My deconstruction video centers around certain parts of a TED talk given by Andrew Stanton (a PIXAR director/ producer) and I combined it with various clips from different animated children's movies. I wanted to show that children's movies (specifically animated children's movies) are often a lot deeper and more thought provoking than people tend give them credit for.  Even though all of these movies were created with child audiences in mind, the messages of these stories aren't just limited to children but for all ages and this is the main point that I wanted to get across.
