Painting I: Limited Pallet [Revelation]

Spring 2012

Painting had continued to frustrate me into our adventure into the depth of color. The class worked through a limited pallet of first ultramarine, burnt sienna and white to now those same three oil pigments plus yellow ochre to achieve temperature and muted hue variation on top of our already comprehensive value experiences. Once Richard's lectures of relationships sunk in, I understood what painting was, not what you saw exactly, but portraying what you saw through ones art. I had done it in Katie Waugh's Reveal, 4D Design Project-Steven Carpenter, the Computer Animation Professor, continually said the same about animating and drawing was deffinitly not reality; then why should painting be either? Not to mention my brush work improved a great deal in this painting as well-

4 D Design: Reveal Video

Spring 2012

The criteria of this video project was to create a situation with a suprising or shocking reveal, be it humorous or frightening or anything inbetween i suppose. By using various, and confusing shots that showed clear decerable form, people were led on to beleive what they saw was something ... else? Well, I Wouldn't want to spoil the suprise, now would I?

On a more objective topic, windows movie maker was an extremely poor choice for video editing but unfortunatly it was all I had on hand; that and a cell phone with a video camera with the resolution of a newborns eyesight, but I don't believe this hindered my concept all too much. On the other hand, the Audio editing eperience was the invaluable and Audacity, even in its beta version, was easy to grasp, handel, and maneuver when editing my diagetic noise.

Equipment: Cell Phone [Video recorder]
