1. I pick something that i think will look cool, and try to make it look the same as it did in my head.
ReplyDelete2. i learned how to use a camera.
3. I think alot of people see photography in general as a very effortless thing, and that anyone can do it. but i love looking at really great photography and forgetting that your looking at a picture. I dont have a specific artist that i like though.

1. I start by removing the brain-to-pencil filter and just doodle whatever I feel like. It isn't really masterful.
2. I am master of nothing except the Roman Senate.
3. I consider Jackson Pollock's works to look rather easy. There isn't too much of a method to it.
1. I would describe it as coming up with the idea, and then seeing if it could work. Then i would collaborate with other people and then, make the idea work.
ReplyDelete2. I have acquired great skills at angles, and making the image look very good. I suck at writing, and i am a terrible actor, and not funny when it comes to scripts, but thats what writers are for.
3. People who don't care and aren't passionate about their work make bad art.
1. I start by thinking of an idea, putting on paper, then transferring it to a computer.
ReplyDelete2. Using different filters, and back and front timing.
3. I feel like lots of photographer's photos are effortless and didn't take that much work. More like they were in the right place in the right time with a good camera.
1. If someone were to ask you to describe your process for creation, how would you describe it?
ReplyDeleteFirst i think i see whatever i'm trying to create in my mind. Then i kind of sketch or do a rough draft of it. Later once i'm fully determined to put all my attention into that creation, i start working on it. It won't come out as good as i'd like for it to come out if i'm not willing to spend a long time on it.
2. What specific skills within your strand have you acquired that make you a master of your art? Even if you have only learned a few tricks, you all have the skills in some aspect of your art to consider yourself a master!
I've learned that whatever I create can work. If I don't see what it is when it's right side up, then maybe it'll work when it's upside down. Also, I make sicker creations when i draw with my left hand. Since it doesn't allow me to correct myself after every line, it's cool to see how my work would come out if I hadn't fixed it at all. I also like doing freehand art a lot. For example the painting that we did last yr. in ms.woerman's class, where we had to keep plotting down colors until we got a certain image, i think that way of painting tricks the mind in such a fun way.
3. Many considered Pollock’s work to be easy to execute because “anyone can fling paint around”. What artist’s work do you feel looks seamless and effortless? Why?
I'd say Andy Warhol's work seems effortless since it's pretty much taking a picture and adding posterization to it. But that's only because now just about anyone could do the same thing to their photos with a certain app or program. I think it's insane how he did all that work without a computer. He screen printed, but it's a pretty difficult process. And all his work is extremely amazing <3
1. I would describe it as thinking of ideas then trying to accomplish the visual in my head on paper.
ReplyDelete2. Some specific skills ive acquired are learning how to use photoshop, illustrator, indesign, and make a website.
3. I think landscape photography seems effortless because it seems like the photographer simply snapped a picture and it came out well.
1.) I would describe my process of creation as spontaneous. My best ideas come to me randomly, not when I sit around and try to think of something creative. I add things as I go along, and when I think I’m done, I inspect everything just in case I want to change something.
ReplyDelete2.) I think I am skilled in Adobe Illustrator. I’ve only been working with it for about a year, but I feel like I am very good at it. I’ve managed to make my shapes smooth and make the least amount of points possible with the pen tool.
3.) I feel like Vincent Van Gogh’s work looks effortless. At first you see thick brush strokes that make up the image, but if you look closely, that are thin brush strokes too that add texture.
1. My process for creation is just drawing or painting whatever i want without really thinking hard about it, i usually do more abstract things when i am not really thinking about it.
ReplyDelete2. I don't really think I'm a master of anything yet but I enjoy doing things with gradients on illustrator to make things 3-D or to just add effect.
3. I believe that any person that is really really good at something that they make it look easy and effortless, however some artists that have a lot of detail in there work still make the piece look like it was hard to do. An artist that i think makes things look easy is Vanessa Schnerer is a student at Coronado that that is a really good artist, every time i look at one of her painting it looks like it was really easy but that you can tell you have to have a lot of talent to have been able to make it ourself.
1. My process for creation is to go to my quiet place and be super tired, then I will come up with a great idea.
ReplyDelete2. I have mastered the art of idea creation and making it into a treatment and then into a movie. Also, the art of radio edits.
3. I think that the work of Van Gough looks seamless and effortless because it looks like anyone can do it, yet it is priceless art.
1. I literally sit quietly until something interesting comes into my mind.
ReplyDelete2. I have skills with programs and formatting and all that stuff that makes me "employable", but I really think that what makes me more a master than anything else is the creativity I was born with.
3. Mr. Pollock doesn't seem to put a lot of work into his work. He may say he puts tons of effort into it and that no one else can do it, but I think he's just scamming people.
1. If someone were to ask you to describe your process for creation, how would you describe it?
ReplyDelete- Well i always start with coming up with an idea. I just brainstorm until i think of something that could work for my project. Then sometimes i sketch out placement so i can see how much space i have to work with and how its going to fit. Finally i just execute the project changing it with the ideas i get as i go along.
2. What specific skills within your strand have you acquired that make you a master of your art? Even if you have only learned a few tricks, you all have the skills in some aspect of your art to consider yourself a master!
-Well learning how to use illustrator and photoshop really help because then i can actually do the projects assigned to me. But i also think learning how to use manual mode on the cameras was important too.
3. Many considered Pollock’s work to be easy to execute because “anyone can fling paint around”. What artist’s work do you feel looks seamless and effortless? Why?
- Sometimes i feel photographers work just looks ridiculously easy. Especially ones that are not hard 2 capture. I understand that photographers have to be able to see the art in life and a lot do. But i swear some people just hold out a camera to something random and put a 300 dollar label on it.
1. My process for creation obviously includes being assigned something. How else can the creativity flow unless you are being forced to be creative. Really though, I don't know, I feel like I'm inspired by something and I let the idea develop over time.
ReplyDelete2. I'm no master! I don't think it's a good idea to think of yourself as a master of anything. I can think of a good story and I can write a script I guess. Jonathan taught me that. JONATHAN!
3. That's an incredibly stupid and awful way of looking at art. There's a great quote about it actually: "Contemporary art is like 'Oh, I can do that.' 'Yeah, but you didn't.'" Nothing that I appreciate comes across as easy to me, and when presented with this question I can even respect the things I don't like.
1) My process for creation is to see a part of movie or I think of a simple scene and I make it in a movie and I expand on the idea and create a new project.
ReplyDelete2) I'm really good at visualize the project I want to do and I try to make it look exact way in the camera.
3) One of my favorite shows is Psych by Steve Franks. It looks easy because there's no action and effects. I think it's hard to write the jokes for the show.
1. i would describe it as doing one part at a time and proceeding along as i work.
ReplyDelete2. i have aquired the knowledge of the bone tool and tweens to make me a master in my art.
3. i believe that many artists works in the museum of art are effortless because of that exact reason: anyone can throw paint around.
1. My process of creation is just a thought, which I put into fruition after a check to see if it's cool enough. Or I get too lazy to do anything.
ReplyDelete2. My imagination is very plentiful, so I'm good at viusalizing excatly what I want for my project.
3. It looks easy to draw the way Kris Wilson does (he's the creator of the webcomic Happiness and Cyanide,) but I'm sure it's hard to draw all of his effects.
1. It takes me a really long time to get inspired. Once I do I just start to make something, I hardly ever go back and fix the tiny details, but teachers have taught me to pay really close attention to those kinds of details.
ReplyDelete2. The pen tool on illustrator is something that I’ve gotten pretty good at.
3. There are many times when I look at something, like Pollock or some abstract paintings or drawings that to me look like there was hardly any effort, however, I’ve discovered that some things that are by accident or are just kind of thrown out there cannot be made again. Like the splatter paints. No one can repeat the picture, not even the artist.
Answer the following questions:
ReplyDelete1. I get random bursts of ideas in the weirdest moments. If I do get an idea I have to grab a pencil and start drawing or writing immediately otherwise I feel like it might leave me.
2. Learning how to paint with a mouse is EXTREMELY helpful in animation because tablets are often hard to operate.
3. Kevin Dart's artwork seems so simple because his character designs aren't that intricate but if you look closely the line art for it is very detailed and it is hard to duplicate.
1. concentrate on achieving the goals of my project, and eventually something always comes to me.
ReplyDelete2. I'm not really a "master" of any kind of art yet.
#. I think Pollock's art is much harder to make than it looks. All the colors are balanced and proportioned well, and it probably takes a long time to make.
1. I don't think I could describe it. I usually have to wait for a muse before I can create something. Sometimes I'll get a random burst of inspiration, and then I can really sit down and draw. But I have no specific process.
ReplyDelete2. By looking at pictures in Adobe Illustrator, zooming in, examining the colors, and then going back and tracing said picture, I think I have improved the way I use color. I think that the exercise where I drew and shaded shapes also has helped me improve my shading.
3. I think some of Pablo Picasso's work looks effortless because it appears that he just drew shapes randomly to make a picture, but I know that there was actual skill involved in the creation process.
1. When i have an idea i write it down quickly before i forget it.
ReplyDelete2. I have learned shortcuts on the keyboard which makes editing much easier and quicker.
3. I think that the film clover film was simple to make but it also built suspense because you saw the attack from a survivors point of view.
1. I start coming up an idea and thinking about it for 2 to 3 days. Then I'l start doing it.
ReplyDelete2. Depending on how much or how many times I do this, I get better by learning my skills of animation or drawing.
3. I've seen quite a few abstract artists who have effortless work. Most of didn't have enough paint flinging or more color in them.
1. My creative process usually starts with an unexpected inspiration. There is a lot of trial and error involved. I try to make a personal connection to all my work, assigned or not.
ReplyDelete2. I think the emphasis on critique we've received during class has led me to realize that there are so many ways I could go about creating my work. At the same time, I like what i do and how i do it. I think everyone who considers themselves an artist should feel the same way about their own work.
3. It's difficult for me to see art and think it's effortless because I'm so used to critiquing everything I see. I imagine how I would go about making it myself and try to find an individual aspect that I value.
1. Doing research to spark some ideas, then just sit and think for awhile for what i want as i create in my head
ReplyDelete2. Creativity.
3. Tim Burton
1. Inspiration and creation always hit me sporadically. I talk out all my ideas and then just build into one that I am truly passionate about.
ReplyDelete2. I have learned a lot about resourcefulness and with thinking within my means. It makes me a master because usually i really enjoy the end result, and that i don't get stressed out about making something completely unachievable.
3. I think the art of professional dancers and ice skaters looks completely effortless and flawless but in reality it takes much practice and years of building skill.
1. My inspiration comes through descriptive music or a small and simple idea given to me that I can work around and make it bigger. I usually have trouble with inspiration so I rely on listening to other people and stories they might have to tell and see if I can turn them into film.
ReplyDelete2. Well when I started I didn't really know much about making a good film, but with practice dedication and support from friends and teachers we learn how to improve, also by observing at other people film, edit, or even professional films to get ideas for camera tricks and editing styles.
3. The new "Abstract" artists are really lame, some of them actually do work on their pieces and make something artistic. But I remember Ross researching this artist that I can't remember his name right now, Ahh Joseph Kosuth, and his work is kinda original, but it's redundant and to be honest, really lame, for example one of his most famous pieces is "Five Words In Orange Neon" and that is literally it, something anyone could've come up with, and he is bloody rich with a wife that is 20 years younger than him.
Answer the following questions:
ReplyDelete1. I would describe my process of creation as very splotchy. I'm not one of those people that thinks linearly. My head goes all over the place and I record thoughts like it's going out of style. I have to get things down on paper.
2. Umm...I think I've learned how to approach an assignment from different angles. The great thing about art is that it requires this.
3. I feel like there is a certain amount of art that is easy for the true artist. However, inspiration and true talent are a hard thing to find in one individual, often it's distributed through many and there is a lack of concentration. But when you get someone like Pollock, you can see how much passion is thrown into his work, but how instead of hitting the canvas violently, it almost floats down as if it were always meant to be there.
1. Well, I need inspiration to make a brilliant creation. I get my inspiration from pictures, music, phrases, video games, and movies.
ReplyDelete2. I haven't really learned anything new in Flash because I've used the program for 2 years. But, I guess I'm a master at making 2 minute long animations.
3. I believe there's no such thing as effortlessness. Artists put a lot of effort into their pieces. From a painting of a landscape, to a paint splattered picture.
1. My process of creation is kind of random, but not quite. I get inspired by my friends, conversations, songs, and more. Once I get inspired, ideas overflow my mind and I begin to create.
ReplyDelete2. I have learned how use a vanishing point to create a 3D looking object. I wouldn't say that I'm a master of creating 3D objects, but I hope that soon I will.
3. Simple line paintings that are hung in museums. They look easy, simple, and plain, yet people call it art. It confuses me. :/
1. I come up with something randomly and I go to the computor and work to create it. But sometimes, if it’s a logo I will come up with some sketches and then change things on the computor.
ReplyDelete2. I can use illustrator, Photoshop and I take photography. I have mastered the rule of thirds to make my images pleasing and use rounded edges, bright colors and am very organized with my computer work.
3. Honestly every piece of work takes effort to make look good and have a purpose.
1. I don’t really have a process. It’s something different every time. My process fits the project.
ReplyDelete2. I learned how to use Illustrator, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver. They are all important to my strand, and they have helped me immensely with my projects.
3. It all looks incredible to me. I’m not much of a painter, so forming any colorful, artistic, intricate paintings is beyond my imagination. It all looks like art to me, even paint splatters.
1.It depends on what I have to create. If it’s for a project, I usually brainstorm ideas and do some research on the subject. Sometimes, when I don’t have any idea comes to me, I just put the project aside first, and look at stuff that’s relate to design or art. And usually those stuff can inspire me to get an idea.
ReplyDelete2. Learning how to use photo shop and illustrator helped me a lot, because now I can design things that can be saved for a long time. Also, I love to use the gradient on my project; it gives the image a more realistic feeling. Composition and balance also helped me on graphic design, because these two elements can often make a huge difference on artwork.
3I would say that Piet Mondrian’s artwork looks effortless. Because all he does is create squares and add either red, yellow or blue in the square. But what makes his artwork famous is that his artwork are always very balance. Even though they are just colored squares, they are still very interesting to look at, and once you see his work, you can almost always remember it.
1. If I was to describe my process, I would say that first I try to picture what im drawing or painting and then I actually try to draw or paint it how i see it in my head.
ReplyDelete2.We have learned about one point perspective and i think that makes me better at my work so i can shade better and do 4-d.
3. To me most work is tough to do and it takes a lot of time and practice to perfect the skill of paintings.
1. I think my process of creation goes along the lines of this...I think about the things that surround me in my life and try and decide on something I want to expand on. After, that I sketch the idea and gather the supplies needed. My creative process can also be pretty arbitrary.
ReplyDelete2. Some specific skills I have acquired within my strand is some tricks on photoshop, illustrator, and recently indesign. I think my favorite skill along the broad spectrum of art computer programs is making lines and designs on illustrator. I had a hard time when I first learned Illustrator, but now it is definitely Illustrator.
3. Frank Stella's art because it looks pretty easily put together. The work is very nice and he has been around for a while, so it's more respectful.
1. my process for creation is i will come across an idea for something from something practical or a need for something that i don't already have. also from ideas on making thinks work better
ReplyDelete2. NA
3. i think that they're are very little pieces of art that are successful that that are effortless
1.Usually an idea just pops into my head or I use photos or other creations and try to remodel it.
ReplyDelete2.The knowledge of all the tools on Maya.
3.When I ever I see a maya artist model a car and they talk about it like it was effortless and they do it in their spare time.
1. I start by just generating a bunch of ideas until i unite them to make something cool.
ReplyDelete2. I'm not a master of my art, i still have a lot to learn but i think story and comedy have really defined the majority of my work.
3. It is awsome creative and messy and thats what art should be about.
1) I create things be drawing upon other inspirations that i;'ve had. In other words I just keep modifying my ideas until I think I can't modify them any more.
ReplyDelete2) Final cut Pro, Clear directing.
3) Joseph Kosuth, because all he does is make neon signs that spell out exactly what the neon sign is made up of. EX:) Blue Neon IN Five Words. That and he also just copies his idea over and over again.
1. well my process of creation is random, i just start by writing down whatever pops into my head and usually theres one that stands out to me and inspires what to do next, i tend to jump around about when to shoot to what the theme is and what angles
ReplyDelete2.well i think im gretting pretty good at audio editing
3.when i see abstract art it looks effortless
Nielsen Moffatt
ReplyDelete1. My process for creation is that I just start working with random ideas until something works. Then I go from there.
2. I have worked with lots of different types of animation and now I'm getting better at using the camera and photoshop.
3. Pollock's work at first glance seems effortless to me but like Van Gogh drawing a bird in 5 minutes, it takes years to learn how to perfect your art to the point where it looks easy.
Simonne Said...
ReplyDelete1. I would say its spontaneous, and not planned. I just go with the flow.
2. Some skills that i have acquired in my strand are being conscious of what shots are needed to edit during filming, and what shots are needed to connect one shot to the other. This is very important because it avoids cheesy transitions which makes your work more like the work of a master.
3. Picasso's work doesn't seem effortless because it thought out and has meaning. Not only that but has a lot of detail, that requires artistic skill to execute.
