Still Alive

I am still alive, but I contacted you earlier that I won't be in class due to a work conference this weekend. I have already shot all of my film for this assignment. What do I need to do so I will not lose a full letter grade. I understand this is horrible timing, but this is manditory I have to work to pay for school... Irony.

Devi is alive and kicking... Ike got my rooom wet... but its nothing fema wont cover... LOL

still enrolled

I will see you next saturday

PLEASE REPLY!!! important

We will not meet Saturday September 20th.

Class will resume Saturday September 27th.
Please understand that this is the equivalent of 4 class periods - I will be rewriting the syllabus in the next few days and will post it as soon as I am able.

You will be expected to turn in the rolls of film for the Exposure assignment. Failure to turn in the minimum 2 rolls will result in a full letter deduction on the assignment. I do recommend shooting as much as you can between now and then - 4 rolls would be ideal. I cannot stress just how important it is for you to be in class PREPARED and ON TIME from this point forward. There is a lot to cover, and Ike is not making it easier on us. Please reply to this blog entry (anything will do) to let me know you are okay, still enrolled, and able to continue on.

See you on the 27th! :)

Ike...

No class this week. Be safe!

Devi, Photograms

#1

My first photogram was made to emphasize being in taking over (The figure over the star constellations). As with my background I used a star map to indicate a man made product, since star constellations represent mythological creatures. The figure is telling us just what the quote on the bottom left says “ All I want is everything”, Once everything is taken, the stars, it will result in universal domination.

#2

My figure, symbolizing my innocent childhood is pleased to have discovered how to obligate the stars. Humans judge their planet with such astronomy. Taking it away will damage all believe, thus creating a sinister spirit that is inside us all. On the bottom left hand corner, the mask is beginning to enter the picture. The mask is the power in us all.

#3

Once my innocent figure is kept busy with a balloon the spirit is overpowering the rest of the goal. Since the figure just wanted innocent domination, the spirit will go beyond only to end it with the main goal, which was domination. At last inner satisfaction.

three statements

Photograms: Assignment 1

#1. Accessorizing

My first photogram was more of a fun whimsical creation. The way I chose to arrange my accessories was more of a representation of myself. The sunglasses accentuating the most vivid part of my face which are my eyes. All other objects revolved around the sunglasses..."the eyes". The darkness of the shaded lenses creates mystery. The sheer necklace brought a more delicate, feminine balance.

#2. Flow

The photogram represents the flow of a stream of water. The flexibility of the necklace allowed an image of swirls for the water to appear as movement rather than still water such as a puddle. The arrangement of the leaves allows enough negative space between each object to give the appearance of depth in the water. This portrays a more definite appearance of each object with clear curves and balance. This, to me, represents the ongoing motions of daily life without end.

#3. Nature

For this photogram I used three essential images of nature. I used a symbol of a rose, natural flowers and stones. Arranged together they bring a flow of nature. They represent natural beauty of our earth. Even with the tossled look of the overlapping items, the light is captured differently with each shape. The contrast between the negative space and image produced by each item captures the beauty of each item with its simplicity. This in all represents beauty in nature for me.
