Art Show Summary

When visiting Anna Petlick's art show I had a few reactions. Anna's pieces focused on jewerly making, particularly broaches and earrings. Her work consisted of what she called puffs. They were gold colored mushroom looking puffs that she said represented a very nature like design. She was trying to express how today, modern, manmade structures are overtaking nature. She wanted to emphasis this throughout her show. The piece that stands out the most to me was the necklace and shoulder piece. It was probably the largest single piece of jewelry and I thought the two sided piece, one side being very precisely made and the other being the poofs, really represented the point of the whole show well. I thought her idea and her material choice, plastic bags, was interesting and well used.
The other pieces also on display were very interesting as well. There were paintings that showed a variety of things, these were well done, but the least memorable part of the show. Probably the strangest pieces were a short video piece that  showed a girl eating an avocado, and a box you could put your hand into in order to purify yourself. I'm not sure what the point of those two pieces were, but they were interesting ad memorable to say the least.

Final Animation

This is my final animation. My teammate and I thought that it conveyed our meaning quite well. I only wish we had more time to complete it.

Camaro Boy

In this short film, Kershaw uses different storytelling techniques to tell the story of his first car. When telling the story of my first car, I would use slightly different techniques. There are not nearly as many photos for my car, so I would rely more on animation and narration in order to create my story.
