Final Project Evid

I tried to create something similar to one of Blake’s “moving paintings” but I also kept myself rooted in what I am comfortable with, creating visual elements that will hopefully keep the viewer viewing.


Artists always talk about how they love what they do, but are entirely too serious sometimes, to see an artist who enjoys what he does, and wants others to enjoy what they are doing, is what I think is great, I like animating in digital media, and my viewers like what I do, It is as simple as that far as I am concerned. As long as those two ideas are reflected in a piece, I can justify it.

The Barnstormers

The barnstormers piece that we watched in class, was very cool, very graphic, great color scheme, and a massive undertaking as far as I'm concerned. This is because it was group of artists working on a very large canvas, on many scenes, over a long period of time.


While im am familiar with, and accostomed to working with teams, I think its alot easier to collaborate when each artist brings something different to the table, but when all the artists are painters its not as easy to agree on, and like I said before I found it to be very pleasing graphically.

My critisism would be that fact that they use this medium to drive a political point, and they point an awful lot of fingers, and does not offer a whole lot of solutions, and art can do that just as well as show faults. Im not saying they needed to offer up an entire platform or anything, just use the art to suggest a solution
