Wow! This is an awesome idea...it reminds me of the one picture a day but video really takes it to the next level, the incorporation of sound with image. I wonder if this would be a good lesson plan for the classroom, perhaps a summer assignment?
Ned:
This is really animated and lively! Was it inspired by Francis Bacon's piece that you posted about below? I think it's fantastic to be inspired by others work, and it would be similarly useful to show students examples of other artists' work as inspiration and perhaps a guiding point for students that may not have ideas right from the start.
Katherine:
So fun! I love how this incorporates the themes of home/place and building a game. I think it would be a useful and meaningful lesson plan, as it invites students to contemplate what are their visual symbols of their town city or town, and also teaches them a new tool / problem solving via Scratch.
Trisha:
I love your usage of simple materials that are commonly found in an art classroom. There's traditionally a hierarchy with art over craft and this is a playful challenge to that! It's very detailed and incorporates an engaging storytelling element too. I wonder about how it would work with the addition of sound.
Wei:
This is a BEAUTIFULLY made video! The choice of black and white is very powerful, and your use of light and shadow and layering has successfully created a sinister ambiance. Coupled with the music, I feel like I'm brought to a completely different time and space. I wonder about how you can explore the notion of time and make films that seem like they are from the past, but with modern technology (iMovie, FinalCut).
Seung:
The themes addressed by this piece: birth, growth, decay--it's all stages of the life cycle, and literally it is represented here in a cyclical loop! It's simple and playful at the same time. Would you consider applying this idea of birth and rebirth to other objects from nature?
Dayhe:
Powerful usage of music. It's tied in together seamlessly, and also I appreciate how you two have used commonplace materials, namely pipe cleaners. I echo the statement that it has a drawing quality to the marks made, it also reminds me of Cy Twombly's work!
