week 7

Today we were continued using Corelle painter and using drawing tablets i used both the mouse and drawing tablets as the effects i wanted i could achieve with the mouse. This week i used the clone tool heaps i created a collage using 2 different sets of images and then combined them using the clone tool i also used the magic wand and paint bucket tools to create the finished back ground of the collage. I have began to use text alot in my art work and i think it works well. The picture on the left is supposed to be what a this couple see inside their mind. at the start the text just says ME ME ME and then goes to YOU ME YOU repeated 3 times but finishes again saying ME ME ME meaning that the person thinks at the beginning and end of every relationship about them selves. they all though are consumed with the idea of the other person but more often than not consumed with them selves more. the picture below was the back ground i created to use in the collage this was really fun to make and i found really built the idea up from just involving text. the incorporation of the photography gives the audience and insight into where the text thoughts are coming from.

Week 6

today we were introduced to Corelle painter nd used drawing tablets, this was interesting i found it difficult to move and draw pictures whilst looking at the screen as im used to looking at the paper. i really like the clone tool and used that a couple of times to have a play with the program i also like the watercolour tool and found i used it to create back grounds. i dont think i would use a drawing tablet in the future to draw detailed pictures however i think i would use it to create backgrounds with corelle painter for me to use as a base for other art works.

Week 5

this week we looked a collage, it was interesting to see how artist had translated the ideas of more traditional collage artist into a digital medium. i really liked Jonathon Baker's work i thought it was really interesting that he set out to use a website to bring his work to a broader audience. as a class we used photo shop, i found this really difficult to understand and know i need to develop my skills with practice i could become more efficient with the program. i find understanding what the different tools do difficult to remember and i don't understand how to use layers. the collage attached i have created at at a later class as i have learnt how to use different programs and skills within those to be able to use the tools in a productive way. i really enjoyed making a collage and i have included a more detailed description of this in week 7 blog entry
