We only have two major projects left! As I look through my past blog entries, I realize how much we have done and learned in this class so far. I remember being hesitant at first, but each assignment helped me shed that shyness because I realized that I had to do them no matter what. I definitely liked some more than others. Let's take a trip down memory lane...
We started the quarter with our Pun Assignment-http://natsart7ajournal.blogspot.com/2011/04/work-progress.html
That one was very fun. I remember having a bunch of ideas for it. I think that everybody ended up just having fun with it. It was a great way to start off the quarter becuase it was not too intense and allowed for ultimate creativity.
Daily Nexus- http://natsart7ajournal.blogspot.com/2011/04/your-highness-world-premiere-brings.html
When I first started this exercise I thought that I would not be able to think of anything to write about. Then I realized that it was not that serious of an exercise. That is why I chose to write about the "Your Highness" world premiere that our school had just hosted. I was very happy to see that we had successfully invaded the nexus when I saw the article on our class in the next paper. It made me see how one simple act could really affect a wider audience, which was afterall the point we were making about truth and fiction in the media.
Public Space Activity- http://natsart7ajournal.blogspot.com/2011/04/brushing-my-teeth-in-public.html. I had a hard time figuring out what to do for this assignment, just as I am now figuring out what to do for the bigger assignment. Although I felt my action was successful, not many onlookers seemed all too interested. That is why for the bigger assignment I plan on making it more interactive with the public.
Act of Kindness- http://natsart7ajournal.blogspot.com/2011/04/acts-of-kindness.html
Although I did not have documentation in the form of photos or videos for the exercise, I still felt like it worked out. There was just one week where I gave the last two pens I had away to people who wanted to borrow them. Luckily while we were playing duck-duck-goose on Thursday I found a pen in the bike loop. I feel like this is karma returning the favor.
Confession- http://natsart7ajournal.blogspot.com/2011/04/progressconfession-project.html
I decided to take a more interactive and light-hearted approach to this assignment. I was glad that my confession was not too serious because it made it a little different than the majority of the class. I am no longer afraid of popping balloons (at least when i do the popping) so double success!
Sequence/Narrative- http://natsart7ajournal.blogspot.com/2011/05/humpty-dumpty.html
I feel like this was the first project that I got to apply my artistic aesthetic to. I had fun manipulating the photos to give them a more surreal feel. They turned out better than I had hoped and I was really happy with the end product.
