Samurai

So this is kind of officially my last blog for my Digital Art class I believe (if I hopefull counted right haha). I have no clue if I'll decide to blog, no I probably won't blog about digital art or media, I may blog about art, that is if I continue to blog at all. I've blogged about some of the randomist digital media and art topics (like the Digital Nail Art...really haha) I mean I even blogged about WoW...! I mean I have learned alot of different things about Digital Art and Media from blogging about it, which I'm sure was the whole point of this assignment. So last picture I want to put up is this...

Anime! Now a days anime is done on different types of photoshops and such, some is still done by hand. This is an image from the anime series Samurai 7, very cool(my favorite series)!!!

Visual and Media Artists

So looking through the National Art Gallery of Canada website, because I'm going at least twice this summer that I know of, I found an exhibit that is of pieces of the Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts winners. I thought it was very cool and I'm excited to see it.

Here is one of the winners pieces of art, which is really really awesome, I could never dream of having the ability to create something like this.

This piece is done by Geneviève Cadieux, a Montreal artist.

Big Baby

Ron Mueck, a contemporary Australian sculpture, who has amazing pieces. My first visit to the National Art Gallery of Canada there was one piece of artwork that really caught my eye, besides Maman, which was Ron Mueck's sculpture "A Girl." It's a 16 foot long sculpture of a bloody, slimy baby with the umbilical cord still attached all mostly made out of fiber glass.

Found a picture with a person to help you realize the size of this thing...and doesn't it look so realistic?!?!

Art Gallery

My favorite place to go over the summer is the National Gallery of Ottawa. I go once or twice every year, I try to go around the time of the tulip festival where there are tulips planted everywhere and it is so beautiful. It's located in Ottawa, Ontario (the capital of Ontario), where it is so beautiful there. I love the old parliament buildings and old churches that are there. The gallery is great, they have different exhibits each year of different artists works, but they do have exhibits that are there year round. My favorite piece of art is this one:

The name of this piece is Maman made by Louise Bourgeois. It's actualy very large, 30 feet to be exact, made out of bronze. In her belly(or sack) is 20 pure marble eggs. The word Maman is french for "mother," obviously giving the spider eggs makes it a mother. It's simply magnificant to stand underneath, it just towers over you! I advise any who get the chance to go to the National Art Gallery of Canada to take it and see this statue. :)

Fashion Show

So I know I have to write about an art event that I've gone to(not going to lie I had classes during the art events or just didn't have time with the amount of work I had to do). What I did manage to go to was the Fashion Show that Hartwick put on. To be honest fashion is a type of art, where you match articles of clothing and accessories together to make a statement or an image. They had summer wear, spring wear, formal wear, and cultural wear. All of it was very good and I thought everyone did very well with their outfits.

It's What You Think

Here is my stopmotion animation, called It's What You Think. I don't know why I named it that, just made people think there was something more to it, like behind it. People will see or come up with ideas if you plant the seed. I'm curious as to what people will really think about the video, as to why it was made, why I did this certain thing. If I was trying to get some sort of message across or what? Interesting huh?

Again Bein Nerdy

One of the most famous achievements that even non-wow players know about is the Leroy Jenkins Achievement.

Objective: Kill 50 whelps in the Upper Blackrock Spire's Rookery
It's difficult but doable(yes I have gotten this achievement)...no this video is not of me I just randomly looked it up. Annddd by the way, WoW graphics are awesome, the creators of World of Warcraft really know what they are doing.
