Day 15- Moving Image , more on Shooting and Editing and variables we can 'play' with

Image
  Another Camera-Person at work  On Friday it was day 2 of the  'Moving Image' and although we focused on shooting and editing we were also able to find out a little  about a renowned practitioner  Sam Taylor Wood who has a history of creating waves with her works which include those of 'Lookalikes' . The piece that Dr Pete alerted us to (and showed us some of) was The Last Century (2005) and he also provided a resource for us to use ( UbuWeb ) .

Discussions in class questioned her use of copyright free images in many of the works  and their long term credibility as works of art that remained 'interesting' beyond the period they were created in (and the values they reflected at that time) - you can see some of her work here and I have n...

Day 6 Essay Prep' with Rod

Image
 On Friday we were given a whirlwind introduction to how we might address the essay that is to be submitted this term. We had a canter through Modern Art from Picasso (and Braque's) work with real materials in collage - the use of Newspapers and the like including artists such as Mondrian and Paolozzi but the artist who's work  created some controversy in the group was Tom Friedman who is considered a Conceptual artist and who we were told is able to command substantial sums of money for his work.
