What I do in Cyberarts

Today I'm going to talk about what I do in my Cyberarts class. In art we usually paint draw or do some work on the computer we sometimes take pictures outside and edit them in Photoshop, and my favourite stop motion! Sometimes my class and I get behind on some projects and sometimes we are all caught up. Art is very fun I like it a lot.

In tech we use computers. We did logo assignments, photography, PSAs, and other things. As much as I like art I like tech as well.

Cyberarts isn't as easy as it seems but it's a lot of fun and if you want to join the program at L.C.I I highly recommend it.

Digital Surrealism

I am going to talk about my digital surreal photo that I created on photoshop. My photo is supposed to represent the two choices of life. It was meant to say that you have a choice to go to war and be imprisoned in a harsh battlefield were you have no choice but to fight for the rest of the battle all war leaves in the end is sadness and death. You lose your will of freedom. But you also have the other choice of freedom in a world were you don't have to fight and a world of peace if you don't join then you still keep your rights of freedom and happiness. So the point of my photo is to say that you have a choice to choose freedom and peace or death and war. That is what i'm trying to say.

What I Thought of My 1st Semester

When I started my first day of high school I was very nervous because I didn't know anybody in my classes in fact I didn't even know were some of my classes were like geography for example. I was late on the first day because I didn't know were in the world the geography room was and on the next day I was late again because I thought that I had english the next day but I didn't know the routine of high school because in my old school we would always do something differint everyday plus I knew were every class was back then but it got complicated.

After a few weeks I started getting used to the routine and then I knew what I was doing plus I wasn't so nervous because I got used to all my classmates. We would get hard then harder work often in each class and then we would easy than easier work It was weird but fun since I didn't seem to get much homework till the ending of the semester and I also like the fact that I got no exams yay! Instead I got comprehensions but those were peice of cake for me in fact I was one of the first ones to finish my comprehensions in some classes which made me feel very good.

What I Want to be When I grow Up.

To be honest there were alot of things that I wanted to be when I grew up like a doctor at first but then I lost interest in that. I found more of my skill in art and technoligy. I would always like to draw funny charicters even though I wasn't the best drawer. I would make comic books alot but I would never seem to have the patients to make them. What I mean is that I would make one veery short comic book then I would make a seqeul like maybe in the next 3 or 4 months sometimes I could be really lazy and make them after a year until I hadn't made one again because I noticed to like making animations.

I was into stop motion which is what I found really fun. It would always take some time to make one or I would just keep messing up but I would always seem to have the patients for making a stop motion.

I liked watching cartoons sometimes for inspiration for more stop motions until I realized that I wanted to get into cartooning without knowing that getting the job you want isn't as easy as it seems.

My IDVD

Today i'm going to talk about my IDVD project I was working on. I was supposed to put five things I did in cyberarts in my IDVD unfortunately I could only find a wedding theme that had enough clips to fit all my stuff in. The music started off pretty weird so I changed the music to Developers It was funny I posted picture and videos of my stop motion, the video I like to call the epic stare down and some other stuff I put on the IDVD.

At first the whole IDVD was just a stupid wedding like video but luckily I made a few changes to make it way better. I had some trouble getting some of my other work on my IDVD like my chest piece drawing. Now I am pretty much done because I was able to fill up all of the empty space in my project so that means that there's nothing else that I can do for the project so I'm pretty much done.

What I think of High School

When I was in elementry school everything seemed easy for me... A little too easy. I wasn't the smartest but I still got good marks and I still got all my work done first. It was a pretty simple time for me also a boring time because it would always be the same thing all the time which annoyed me. On the day I was checking out my high school and learning about all the courses I thought that High school was just as simple as elementry expect it seemed more fun.

When I started going to high school my life chhanged in a way. High school was a bit confusing for me but don't get it the wrong way I still got all my work done it's just that when I joined the Cyber Arts program thats when things started to change. I kept getting so much work. Too much than usual. I could tell you that school wasn't the same after that.

High school was a bit confusing for me but don't get it the wrong way I still got all my work done it's just that when I joined the Cyber Arts program thats when things started to change. school got way more complicated for me and I would always be falling behined on my work it turned out to be harder than I thought. After awhile I caught up with my work and started getiing used to things everything was good after that and everything seemed to get better after all.

What if an Artist From the Past Came to the Future

What if an artist from the past came to the future? What would they think of all the new technoligy we have today. What if Leanardo Davinci came to the present or what he would call the future what do you think he would say? Would he amke a Mona Lisa 2? Who knows you never know what they would say if they came to the future. Maybe you could ask them what they would think about how life was for them then how it is now. What do you think they would prefer?

If you could choose one of any artists to meet who would you like to choose? What would you say? What do you think they would say or ask you? Even though this could never happen ask yourself what would you do? It's a mystery of what they would think but if they were still here I wounder what would happen.

You know there still are some old famous artist around today they just lived for a while thats all if you ever got the chance what would you ask them?

What I think of CyberArts

At first I thought that CyberArts was going to be all cartoons and all the stuff I liked but there was alot of things that I had to do other than that stuff. Infact the program seemed to get really complicated at first because when I joined I barely new anything about compters or anything like that I was okay with art because it wasn't really my weakness even though I wasn't the best drawer nore was I the best painter But at least I was able to do it. But in tech now thats a differint story when I was learning to do graphic design I was really bad at it especially with the logo assigniment I was even finished it when it was long due but luckily on take your kids to work day I had the whole entire period to myself which ment that I was able to finish my logo. After that I was pretty caught up with everything that is till the ending of the semester But the future of my sucess is stll a mystery.

Jock Macdonald prezi project

Today i'm going to talk about my prezi project I was working on recently. The topic is on Jock Macdonald. He was a surreal artist that was very interested in watercolor and oil painting. He was a canadian artist and he was also a design teacher. He was a important figure in the development of abstract art. I chose Jock macdonald out of a random pick because I really didn't know who to choose to be honest but when I started to learn about macdonald I realized that he was a very interesting artist with a very interesting story.

It was kind of fun creating the prezi because I fooled around with it a little bit like I would make the computers look like that they were falling over I would put funny angry birds posters ont the wall. It was a bit tough finding the names of the paintings he made and all the painting that I did find the name of were unfortunitly untitled. but at least I was able to find the year that some of the paintings were made in.

I was really nervous when I came back from the holidays because I didn't even touch my computer and I barely even had the prezi done which was really bad so I started working on it when I saw everone else working on it I was afraid that I wouldn't turn Out that good but when it was finished it turned out pretty good after all.

Stop motion project

Today I'm going to talk about my stop motion project that I was was working on with my group. The project was based on an alien man who decides to walk around town and enjoy the outdors until a series of catastrophes occur and ruins the alien's day.

One by one the situation gets worse a dog bites off the alien's ear then the alien gets crused by a giant ball and last but not least a jet comes crashing down crushing the poor alien into a ball.

The stop motion took a few weeks to make. We made a few mistakes and corrected them. we made our special effects, we took what we would call breaks, etc.

To be honest I personlly thought that the stop motion was going to be a complete disaster because of my group's lack of focus and team work but the good news is I was wrong because this project turned out pretty good in the end. :)
