Found him!

This was the artist I was talking about in reference to the wire people, I saw his work in spain.

blog is here: http://little-people.blogspot.com/

his officeal website is here: http://slinkachu.com/

Rauschenberg

You were right Murray, love love love Rauschenberg. Having looked at his work is taking my mind in a whole new direction for the final piece- love his collage work & mixed media... his use of animal imagery in some (with the hawk & the ram) is inspiring the biology minor side of my brain...

DM S.O.S.!!!

Hi All - just found out the site that i was going to use for my assignment #3 is closed for the season (fort allen in newport) Does anyone know if there is a spot reasonably nearby where i can get a shot similar to this with minimal photoshopery? I'm desperate!! I was hoping to do it 10/30 in the AM, so please, all ideas are welcome!! Thanks

Who did the panoramic shot on the Kenebec?

The reason I ask is I am guessing who ever took that is a video boater for Magic falls. I'm always looking for another white water boater down here at school.

Intermediate DM Exhibition Tonight

7-9pm (Wednesday, Oct 28)

At State (upscale lounge in Providence)

Here's more info about State

Here's directions

claymation

Does anybody have any tips on making a claymation video? I've never done one before but I'm trying anyway

Remember:

1) Back up your data

2) Take a break

3) It's less dangerous to make art that assumes your audience does not care about you (pity the artist who assumes they do).

im really glad

its supposed to rain Wednesday. super helpful. plan accordingly!

Intermediate DM: Unconventional Ideas

Dear Intermediate DM class (although intro DMers might find this interesting),

I have two unconventional ideas I’d like to try with you:

1) Lets NOT meet on Tuesday (Oct 27). Instead, I want you all to call me. If we meet as usual on Tuesday, I’ll only have a couple of minutes with each of you---if you call me we have a more reasonable amount of time.

My phone is 401-369-0263. I’ll take roll when you call me. I’ll mark you absent if you don’t call before 2pm Tuesday. Call anytime starting now.

2) I would like to try a new critique format for project 2. I’m inviting three artists to come to your opening: Ayumi Ishii who just completed a residency at the prestigious Sculpture Center, Sean Salstrom who teaches at RISD, and my collaborator Megan McMillan.

They will talk with you, see your work and write down what THEY REALLY THINK. This is a rare opportunity. My aim is to steer our conversation away from “is this good student work?” and towards “how does this compete in the real world with real world expectations?”

Further, It will be your job to introduce each of them individually to your work. I’m interested in your ability to articulate your ideas on the fly, in a casual art gallery context to people who you don’t know.

My suggestion is to be able to summarize what’s interesting about your work with as few words as possible (usually people are only interested in your concept for about 3 sentences). The goal is to get them interested enough about your work to want to know more.

They will record their REAL impressions of your work and give it to me. On Thursday, I’ll collate their notes with my own impressions and crit each of you IN ONE DAY. You heard me correctly, I’m going to shoot through everyone’s crit in 2 hours.

Lets break the mold of what a crit can be. I don’t think me lecturing (with little discussion) is the ideal crit format, but I think it will serve as a solid companion to the lengthy discussion style crits we enjoyed for the first exhibition.

This will have the side benefit of giving us time to consider the final exhibition.

My hope is that you all are awarded an accurate idea of where your work stands. My fear is that this would become too hard and that tears will be shed. My guess is that you all would rather know the painful truth than the beautiful lie.

Your career starts now. Artists, are you game?

Some Images. Critque.

Due to my previous weekend of having my car broken into and camera stolen, I lost all my 10 photos and am $900.00 in deep, so I can't afford paper to print.

In the fairness of me alwyas talking during critiques, I decided just to put up some images I gathered and worked on. The first is the only decent photo that came out of my 10 camera photos I handed into Murray. So, give your opinion if you want.

prossimo progetto

WIP painting for next project. Anyone going through the print making room recently probably saw it already. 36X40 i think? i've enjoyed photographing the progress for this as well but i dont have anymore paper & can't afford to buy it right now/to spend my time on printing.

Attention Sculptors & Video Artists

Hiro Fukawa, who I studied under at KCAI, is visiting RWU tomorrow (Tuesday) from noon to 2. From noon to 1 in room (206), he's lecturing on his work (HEADS UP INTERMEDIATE DM: WE'RE MEETING IN ROOM 206).

From 1-2 Hiro has generously agreed to meet with 4 artists (15 min each). Anyone is free to meet with Hiro--who is wonderful--but we should give priority to sculptors, video artists and seniors (but that said, I would hate for slots to go unused because those people are too lazy to write me). Who's interested?

fabric tea kettle and cups?

so I'm still a little unsure about this next project, but I know I will be making some more of these babies...

EMERGENCY ANOUNCEMENT

Hey Intermediate Digital Media folks:

Nick was able to get us an appointment to meet his brother at The State Ultra Lounge TOMORROW.

OUCH--I know. But I think it's important for us to know where to design for ASAP.

MANY APOLOGIES to the folks we still haven't critiqued yet. We'll give you a awesome crit--full of blood--on Tuesday!

Here's the link to The State Ultra Lounge.

Here's the link to the address of the State Ultra Lounge.

visit to prov part 2

are we meeting @ the bar in providence tomorrow? Once again Caroline & myself need to be back by 2 (probably leaving even earlier since we hit metacom traffic last time & didnt get back till 2:10 and i have a test in lab-ugh. :/). So if we could get directions for where this place is so we could go in and check it out enough before inevitably & awkwardly leaving before the rest of class again that'd be sweet lol.

wafflesweekendwaffles

waffles at murrays. weekend of the 24th. also parents weekend.

not an earth-shattering deal as you know, i just wanted to put that out there. it'd probably cause some conflict for me since my family didn't come last year so they want to this year. idk if anyone else was gonna have this issue.

I hate

project 2 images intro digital media

okay so i've been working on a bunch of stuff, but a lot of it is too big to fit on here unfortunately. however, right after i woke up this morning i went to the computer and took one of my pictures and started experimenting and came up with this:let me know what you think... i keep going back on forth on it being cool and it being kind of lame so advice is much appreciated :) oh and i think it's a 21" x 34" so that may affect it's coolness factor as well

Bonus for Intro to DM (and some advanced DM folks)

If you have free time, check out the DM show at 5 Traverse Gallery (on 5 Traverse St, Providence). The show closes Sunday. If you go and take a cell phone image of you inside the gallery I'll trade it for an absence. Same goes to any advanced DM folk who couldn't join us on the fieldtrip. Here's the link.

They're Open Thursdays through Sundays, 12-6pm

Take a friend: they'll love it.

Money for web design

I just got a campus email asking me if I know any students who WANT MONEY for web design. Here's the email:

_______

Linda Riley and I are working on designing a course for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( grant awarded ). We have funds for student involvement at various points during this academic year.

We are looking for a student or students to design a website for the course.

If you have students with "graphic design chops" but no web design skills, we can get Russ Beauchemin help them with the software end.

If you have students with "marketing chops" and no web design skills, Russ is the man for that.

If you have students with "web design chops" and no marketing or graphic design skills we might be able to employ a team.

Right now we are looking for students who want to participate and to earn a little cash doing it. If you have any of your students who may be interested in the project or who want to find out more, please have them contact me or Linda (lriley@rwu.edu).

Thank you.

A Call to Arts

Hey gang, I'm in the midst of figuring out the coding components for my next game, and I realized I still have no source for art assets.

Here's the deal: the game takes place on notebook paper. The player controls a stick-figure/sketched person that lives in this land of drawings, and everything is peachy in this world.

One day, words (class notes) start appearing and falling out of the sky, and turning the happy doodles into horrible word-monsters. You, the hero-by-circumstance, will fight them off by throwing erasers and swinging a pencil at them.

The goal of the game is to get to the center of the notebook and 'kill' the source of the notes (an upcoming test review), saving the land of sketches. My intention is that, the better you do in the game, the lower the test score will be. It's like golf!

What I need: I need bizarre creatures that could just be idle drawing in your notebook. White, non-lined paper would be great, along with a few frames of animation for walking. They don't have to be linear or perfect, as I'll be making the sprite sheets.

Given the nature of this game I'll also have my own 'art' in it, but I'd love to work with whoever is willing.

If anyone is really interested, we can talk about monster design, along with the backgrounds and such.

Reply here or email me if you are interested. Thanks!

photos

heres some of the photos i may use for project 2. still have some editing to do. and maybe new photos all together. let me know any thoughts to improve...

oh and the topics in order are(brief description): being happy& letting loose, beach, home, fate, travel, hardwork, love, finding yourself, family & the magic of the outdoors.

MEETING TODAY

digital media 2 will be meeting at 5 Traverse St. in Providence
it is near wickenden st.

field trip today

does anyone know the name or the address of the place we are supposed to meet today?

If you like Video and have free time:

1) The Pixelerations Video Art Show is tonight at 9:30 at a really cool place in Providence. Admission is free. Meg and I will be there. Click here for info.

2) I've been asked to ask any of you who like video if you are interested in mentoring high school video students in a one day workshop. Here is the info:

Can you check with the film/media instructors to see if they can find 2 volunteers to help out with the Pastime's 1-day filmmaking workshop? The Workshop will be held from 9-4:30 on Saturday, October 24th at Mt. Hope Highschool. We need volunteers with imovie experience (latest version) to help with film editing in the afternoon (around 1:45PM). It would be helpful if they could come earlier and chaperone a team of middle school students (4 students per team) who will begin shooting their films on the highschool campus from about 11-1:30 Of course, they are welcome to join us for the full day of the workshop if they are interested. I've attached a flyer about the details, instructor bios are on page 2. Thanks, Nancy Chace 254-1166

More.

Some Images I will use...maybe.
