3D Printing

Image
As far as 3D printing goes, I had little idea of how it works and what technology is used to make a legitimate object from a picture. The class was small but I liked the size, it gave me more actual interest in the process. The more hands on the class got, the more interested I was about the functioning of 3D printing and seeing the process thanks to the new technology in the library, I was able to see it and actually be given the opportunity to use it on my free time.  The process might be longer than thought, but I think taking an object out of a picture and recreating it physically is genius. With photography, design, a printing machine, the new apps even, technology keeps getting better. The app Professor Friebele showed, isense I think it is? This app was really cool and I actually downloaded it last night to try it out. The face scanner was awesome too. It gave me a thought of giving my friends busts or bobble heads of me for Christmas or something haha! All together, great cla

Visual Analysis

Image
"You are born model, you do not become so." For this quote, I grabbed multiple pieces of modern art for every 3 years since 1998; the year I was born. The medium for this piece is a painting while the technique is made up of photoshop, paint and ink used to form an overall piece that captures the quote provided. The composition was symmetrical and repetitive throughout the work. Lines were used throughout this as well, including implied lines. There are circular, rectangular and geometric shapes, and the value in contrasting. The color scheme is more so compound than others, using radiants of blue, orange, and yellow including neutrals and blacks. the texture is mostly smooth with a hint of roughness as the  space is 2D.  denotative, connotative and ideological. For denotative, this piece is made up of paint, ink, colored paper and a printout that is collaged and scattered across the sketch paper. The connotative is what this piece actually is, which is modern art collage

The Art of Data Visualization

Image
Watching the video of the art of data visualization, I was kind of amazed by the truth that was being spoken. Data visualization is something we see everyday and to have these few people talk to their audience with such passion about it, the audience then starts to learn and gain their insights.  As said in the video, the art of the data means nothing if it is not speaking the truth; it can't turn lies into truth just because it is pretty and looks pleasing to the eye. I also loved how they said we need more individuals to learn instead of confirm when looking at data visuals because they're teaching people to go beyond what they believe their limits to be. As the art and the data intertwine on whether it's a spreadsheet or excel, the truth of it's goodness comes to surface and that is something to be happy about, not how pretty it looks. The art of the data must speak with it's words and information that is being delivered to its' audience. I also liked how t

Time and Imagination

Image
Jean Baudrillard's excerpt on hyperreal vs imaginary was eye catching. Some might say it was a bit difficult to keep up with and handle the imaginary from the real talk, but I thought it was quite brilliant. The talk of a secret world almost that circulates in proportions somewhere other then reality while being in reality is almost psychedelic, but true. My only question for this passage is, how far does Jean think the mind can read through imagination without realizing and snapping back into reality? This is not only a childhood thing, Jean just took Disneyland as a perfect example because anyone who looks back at DisneyLand can same the same thing, Jean just applied it to our world today; hyperreal. The post modern passage was a lot to take in as well, because it is all too true. Our world is everything in the past world combined with no separation. We don't even think about how many cultures and styles and musics and foods we take in everyday, not knowing each and eve

COLORS

COLORS So this podcast was super interesting actually, I enjoyed very much so and started to really give it a listen when they started talking about butterflies eyes and how each species can or cannot see the spectrum to a certain degree.  I think more people do need to give attention to how lucky we are as humans to have the ability to see certain colors that maybe dogs and other species can't.  People who have a keen eye for the love of art and color are those to not take advantage of because then who will let us know how wonderful it is to give attention to little detail? We would be overlooking so much beauty.
