Sin city- film

This movie 'Sin city' is about an evil city and the people that live there and how there paths cross.

I am interested in graphic novels because they are cool and i like surrealism in the movie.

Surrealist and high contrast imagery and a good story line.

I would use the ideas of composition of light and dark in perticular the shadows and lighting on faces.

Banksy

I like banksy Because it is addressing popular culture in a humorous or visually powerful way.He combines the environment which the artwork is painted on. Within the artwork itself to make it powerful artwork.

My boyfriend loves Banksy as well. he even has a T-Shirts!

Korean Art

They're stomping on the little guys! I wish I could get better detail here (or see this in real life) to see what's going on with said little guys. Presumably they're pretty unhappy about being kept down by the Man. The nameless, faceless, well-dressed Man, wearing newly shined shoes with soles that are HARD. But this is all speculation, as they are too small for me to read their faces or body language--I suppose they could be resigned to their lot, or even satisfied with being a part of something bigger than themselves.

Juxtaposition art

I am looking at some of examples of juxtaposition art for my drawing paper.

By combining two different parts to create one image, it is really interesting how we see juxtaposition images and how we think about the artwork.

I am working on series of illustrated juxtaposition artworks, i set a title as "drop dead horror".

I have read the book "Drop dead cute" , it was all about how cute things can be creepy. and for me, i use juxtapose as my drawing method and i see objects, draw objects in a cute way rather than showing it in horror ways.

(“Tank” by Dula Yavne, one of the artists taking part in the Take the Bassa with Sababa exhibition of Israeli comics art in London, nice juxtaposition of a Nazi-style salute with the eyepatch, iconic of a famous Israeli war hero Moshe Dayan – I’d imagine that combination would raise a few eyebrows in Israel)

Frankenstein - drowning girl

In the horror film it is really important to have a good narrative, good visual effect, and sound effect but also through out my studio practice, i found myself having trouble with dealing with suspense and tension. I am working on my montage video art and I have realized it is really hard to have all elements such as good visual effect, good sound effect, good stories. If the film is only scary, then for me, i think the movie totally failed. It has to be something more than horror, the director has to play with people's mind and knows how to deal with tension and suspense in the film.

Here is my favorite montage video art "Frankenstein - drowning girl" I think this is the best scenes in horror history

Design

What is Design?

I see design as something i receive information by looking at the text and image and how it affects to the product so the viewer can see the value out of it.

Design itself can be a unique, simple and abstract and if it contains too much information in one poster/ design work, then people often get confused.

I believe that a piece of design work can speak the truth also the falsity.

Jenny Holzer's "For the Guggenheim"

I watched this video 'For the Guggenheim' by Jenny Holzer in contexual studies class.

I like the way how she experienced with using different media such as moving image and the text itself is not just text, it become as a main method because normally text used to support the image / main ideas.

My point of view seeing McCahon Colin's work, i see the similarity beween McCahon's and Jenny's. The viewer read text as an artwork rather than read it and get information out of it.

But the text helps the viewer to understand the actual work and that is the reason why i like Jenny Holzer's work. Her previews works speak the truth, violence, sexualism, things that people are afraid of saying it, she speaks it in her work.

Text and Image

Colin McCahon Ecce Agnus Dei 1969 water-based crayon and wash on paper

Colin McCahon (1919) is New Zealand painter, He creates work by using someone else's text or his own text. I quite like the way how his works speak emotions for example in this work the text and the way how he painted , are quite relate to each other and by using poetry in his work, the style in painting tells the viewer that it is poem.

I like the use of color and the text, for me i read this work as an artwork rather than reading text because i think by adding colors the meaning can be changed.

Pencil art -Everyday objects

This piece of artwork was created by Abbey Hendrickson, I got this image from her blog. I think it is a great example of how the everyday can become extraordinary. This work reminds me of my childhook, when i bought a new pencil i lost it again and bought a new one and found the old pencils and i ended up collecting all different kind of pencils. Those pencil has got all different lengths, colors and shapes.

London-based James Hopkins takes everyday objects and makes them do tricks in his current exhibition From This End to That. Web Head is a spider web sliced out of an umbrella, Spirit Level Vodka is a group of eight bottles perched precariously on a shelf set at an angle, the contents level, Upper Limit is a stepladder that stands on two legs. Shelf Life is a set of bog standard pine bookshelves housing an assortment of the usual: LPs, a clock, a guitar, a globe, boxes. But Hopkins has cut them and put them together in the form of a skull, reminding us that these consumer goods, our material possessions, will some day lose all importance.

He carefully constructs installations with mundane everyday objects into artwork with hidden messages. The question is, do you see the hidden image first or the plain old collection of objects? It's all dependent on perspective.

It reminds me his everyday object contains his memories and use his memories to collect everyday objects and create a diaristic installation work.

"Even though my work often contains design elements, ironically they work in opposition to accommodating the body. My favourite part of the 'Love Seat' sculpture is the letter O because on that chair the seat is missing." -via *Wallpaper
