- I know how to use a computer. Crazy, right? Yet, I never really worked with Photoshop or Illustrator, because I enjoy working with my hands more.
- I hope to recognize the significance of the digital world in today's artistic realm, and how it can affect my creativity in the future.
- I would assume that computers at least loosely fit into visual studies in most cases. Since the digital world is so prevalent in today's societal standards, it has to affect art (right??).
- Again, you'll have to school me on these programs, because I have never really worked with them!
- I have a Macbook Pro, so it does not have these programs.
- Mac :)
- I am a visual studies major, with the intent of doubling that with political science.
- With both, I wish to be a lobbyist (the good ones) that work for a social firm that I take pride in (aka a feminist, LGBT, environmental, minority firms). With the art degree, I wish to do EVERYTHING I CAN IN THE CREATIVE WORLD. I want to design album covers, packaging, work in a museum, change lives, solve world hunger; the good stuff that every young mind wants to fix.
- Shepard Fairey, the creator of Obey. Check out the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop; you won't be disappointed.
- I do not really have a favorite musician, but I enjoy listening to the Black Keys, the Shins, White Stripes, and a bunch of other alternative/rock bands.
- I once watched my cat fall off my car on a highway. He survived.
- So I will talk about art, I guess. I have always loved to draw, and I was always an artistic child that was really out there. Yet, my career paths haven't filed that way until seventh grade. I wanted to be a vet, paleontologist, an animal cop...just Liv things. The reason I found art as  a career path was when an art teacher told me about Tyler when I was in middle school. I guess that is why I am here today, typing this, hoping to get an A in your class. :)

Joan Jonas video review

Jonas plays up her use of body movements and sound in her videos. She translates her thoughts thoroughly in these videos and she uses her work to communicate her thoughts and emotions. She often uses the space itself to convey these feelings, like in her video Wind. On the windiest day of the year, Jonas used the weather to create emotion in her works. She often uses multiple artists as well to make a collaborative effort on her work. Overall, I respond well to these videos, and I respect Jonas as a creator using the medium of film to convey herself.

Matthew Barney video reaction

The video I watched from Barney, Cremaster Cycle Trailer, was extremely odd with its imagery and symbolism. There were different shots of unrelated things, and the entire video seemed surreal at times. Because of its oddness, this video reminds me of the video examples we were shown in class. I can possibly take inspiration from this video, if I wanted to make something extremely abstract. It was difficult to find the true meaning of this video, but nevertheless, I still appreciate it.
