This week the class looked further at Corel Painter. We looked at how to mix colours and apply them in digital painting. I am still not sure about digital painting. It just does not interest me. I have said this before I would rather be outside physically holding a paintbrush and a paint palette in the other hand standing face to face with a blank canvas! The tutorial on the painting with Corel was very interesting however it is not something I wish to pursue with my end of semester folio.
Maybe I just need some time to adjust to all these new fangled technologies!
In the past week I have been considering where I will go with my second piece. In my proposal I was intending on exploring a friends personality by taking many different photos of their face and reconstructing it to represent the many different facets of a person. I played with this idea a little in Photoshop.
This is one of my best friends Peta. It was fun jumbling photos of her together but I'm just not feeling the excitement of this idea. Plus I don't think she'll be too pleased about how I have portrayed her. That's the tricky part about doing portraiture what do you do when the person does not like how they have been portrayed? I know this is a bit of a cop out but I am just not ready for scrutiny just yet. I need to build up my skills and my skin first. I think I will stick to exploring me first then worry about portraying others...
Jumbling my own face would be fun however I feel the result would be very similar to my first piece, the photo mosaic. I am taking a different road with my second piece and exploring my own fears and anxieties!
Anxiety is one of the worst feelings in the world. Everyone gets anxious to a degree and I am no exception. When I'm stressed with work, uni, friends, family, boyfriend or waking up when I was 22 and realising my life is going nowhere... All these things have contributed to my own anxiety.
Through all of this the best feeling in the world is when you let it all out by crying.... that feeling after you finish crying...when a calm washes over you... that is the BEST FEELING EVER!
I have spent the last two years discovering you can not keep things bottled up, it only gets worse... the best thing to do it cry is out... then the world seems like a more bearable place again!!

I want my second piece to convey this wonderful feeling...
Over the next week I will play with this idea and see what I can come up with.
I am very excited about next week’s class where we will look at video art. One of my pieces will be related to this topic and I can’t wait to see what I can create!
Exciting times, starting to get a little stressed about the end of semester slowly creeping up...
SCARY!
