Week Two

Hey Jenna,
This week we looked at text in art. This was really intresting and has really inspired me to go look up more works by Babra Kruger.
I have finally pick a theme they i plan to use through out my work which is ballet and dance and the emotional and physical pain and joy it brings and the extreme people we go to in this industry to achieve a dream or goal.
Today we worked in illustrator which was a lot of fun and very different. I had never worked in this program before and it became challenging at times to just copy paste. In my work to day i created a symbol that is similar to the Australian Ballet symbol having a B in the center of the page and then dance quotes in a pattern over the top. In the written text i chose important word that helped my message become more dramatic words such as joy, pain and life.
When i go home i plan to continue to work on this idea and also do some more research on artist that use text alot in their works. I also plan to to look at the acmi exabition that looks at film through out time to help me with my ideas.
In this lesson besides learning how to use the new program I also learnt how to burn my pictures to disk.
I am looking forward to next week class to learn more about MACS
Have a great day :)
