Thoughts on class xerox projects

I found the xerox pretty fun and yet hard to do so I was very excited to see how each person would make their own piece. A lot of you guys were very creative and it seemed like you had a lot of fun in the process. I tried  leaving  comments on some ppl's blog but they had not posted pictures yet so Ill just comment them on my blog. Greg I like the pyramid and how each on had a face that seem to be moving  especially while they were hanging. Cheryl wow paper mache was so cool. A whole body would look so cool  wearing paper clothes. I can totally see a whole series with the paper mache idea. Lea The apple earphones looked so cool and how the wire wrapped around the project. Mike I was sad to hear you died and then happy you came back to class when u came in afterwards hahaha. I had fun making the copies with you and my little sister. She still talks about it and she cant wait to go to college and do those kinds of projects... Ahhh if all projects could be like that... fun. Jessica I love your purse idea and how you filled if up with items you would carry in a purse. Cara I liked the concept of you covering your body after you just exposed it on the Xerox machine. Kasey I loved the colors and how you put it together. the legs totally looked like little veggies and the shoes came out so good. Elizabeth I like the final pictures you posted on your blog rather then the sheets of paper you took to class. Although I liked Stanti's Idea of it being a long roll of paper. 

"Paper Toy"

At first I was not sure about this project. Worried about how I was going to look on top of a Xerox machine. I did not even know we had on in the library where no one would see you. So I was glad to find Matt up in the computer lab.   I had so much fun scanning his face and even my little sister who was with me at the time. Better to work in teams then look like a fool by your self huh.... hahaha. So Santiago noticed I did not used A Xerox for my feet but I thought I'd get in trouble and If I broke it...I cant pay the school for damages. So I used my scanner. It was a lot easier and fast. My dad did look at me weird when he saw me... and then laughed when he saw my paper me toy... I thought it was pretty funny as well. The pieces kinda just came together. First I was lost and then it was like I knew where each piece has going and I love the ears at the waist.

Andy warhol...

Wow.... Andy. You are amazing. I totally remember making a flash video on you and banner last year in Santi's class. I had so much fun and so much frustrating making it. Hahahah All those hours of work and no sleep while Andy just puts a camera up and leaves the room... Total opposites huh. Yet, some of my painting look like him work and yet defiantly take more more time in produce one piece then he does making 20 or more. I use brushes he uses silk screens... different techniques same finish. I am currently working with silk screens so it nice to finally learn Andy's painting process and what he might have been thinking while making all those prints. I totally agree with Andy when he says why paint something on a screen when its faster to tape it.... but I prefer the painting process. I enjoy paint. I would not have fun just letting a camera roll... The process is much more exciting. As for his interviews totally hilarious... but hey he got away with it. I would do the same thing. I feel like why should I explain my work...if you like it you like it...There is nothing to really get about my work. the viewer should get what they want from the piece...if its insight full, hate, or beauty then good... I'll let the viewer choose. I  don't know if Andy felt like that but thats how I feel... I just like Andy's silent approach. 

Un Chien Andalou

  HAHA ... if someone could tell me what that was all about please take the time to tell me because I was so lost. At first I thought it was a story but then again I do not know. The man threatens the woman and then he has ants coming out of his hand... I thought of the hole on God's hand but Im not sure if there is any reference to that. Like Santiago says....omg totally BIzarre. Dali's fading in and out was really like I can tell you that though. I did think it was a film about love and the fear of death. Probably the fear of losing someone they love. Just because the whole story was about that lady and young man. 

Grid Art project

                     I made the stage that would have been in a 3d animation screen. Since the screen is full of grids I want to make the flat screen 3d and part sculpture. In the center of the open stage box is a finger. A figure that a 3d animator could be making on a maya program at home or school.

Video games, Girls, and more Video games

Video Games for a while seemed to be the world to me  back when I was 8yrs old playing on my Nintendo 64. Donkey Kong 1, 2, and 3 were my only games for the play system but thats all I needed. I was addicated to playing much as we need water to live. However, I started growing old of them because its face it the interest in 3 games does not last a life time. But then I couldn't buy anymore games because they were all pretty much the same fights, racing, and sports. Nothing much to keep a girly girly interested. Don't get me wrong there were those girls who would be playing games until late hours of the night. It was just I did not see many options for me and companies kept making new systems with new hand set and all these crazy code for certain actions that I could not keep up. Since them the only other games I've played are kingdom of hearts and it was only so I could see the story line and the disney princesses. Video games are getting better now. I see more games that girls can be included in and the Wii was the best system ever made. I love playing with my son and even though it could be a rain day and we can't physically go outside. We are playing baseball and Jaden just made a home run. We also could be playing video games, be in a rock band and play instruments all at the same time. They even have interactive store time. Forget trying to get girls to play video games, they have moms and even grandma's playing basket ball.
