6A. Video response to How to Be Creative
http://changethis.com/ Then search Hugh MacLeod’s HOW TO BE CREATIVE.
5A. Reimagining Visual Framing
This painting was done by Salvador Dali. I was drawn to the original picture because it was very unique looking in the design. I mean who has tigers coming from a fish and the fish coming out of a planet. Also the elephant in the background on what looks to be stilts and the obvious naked woman laying down in front of us, the viewer. This is something I have never seen before and probably will never see anything like this again, in my life time. I think that is why I like this image and why I was drawn to it. I would think this painting is Active theme because I cannot really see Dali telling us what to think. He more-so allows the viewer to decide on their own. Also it is very subjective over objective because it is up to the viewer to decide what this painting truly means. There is nothing to measure.
I chose to re-frame the image the way I did because I think in the original painting the tigers really stand out over all the other objects in the piece. That is why I cropped only the tigers out of the original. Also tigers are pretty awesome in their own right. Also, they way I cropped it, really shows how one of the tigers is coming out of the other tiger's mouth; then that tiger is coming out of a fish. While the fish is coming out of a planet, it looks like. This gives the tiger Visual Movement, because it gives the illusion that the main tiger is jumping out towards it's "victim". You can really see this play out in the original painting with the tiger leaping towards the naked woman.
I honestly have no idea why he framed this the way he did, but I think he wanted to show space and
lines. With my framed picture there is little to no space for the viewer. In the original though, Dali allows space in the sky and in the bottom of the painting. He does this to give the viewer room to breathe because everything in the painting is so visually appealing for the eyes it needs space. There are a lot of lines within the painting. One line is from the gun pointing at the naked woman, which the tiger is holding. So it goes from planet, to fish, to first tiger, to second tiger, and then to the gun pointing at the naked woman. Also there is another line from the elephant's long legs in the background. The legs go down right to the naked woman to give her more emphasis just like the gun pointing at her. The legs are actually lines that help bring the viewer to that naked woman laying down.Monday, April 25, 2011

Acknowledging the Lizard:
Basically the Lizard is the little scared kid inside everyone of us that doesn't like being made fun of. But it is an important part being an artiest to be different and to have some of our stuff laughed at or made fun of. Without this then we couldn't perfect our artistic skills.
Learn:
This layer basically says that we never stop learning and it is important that we never stop. If we stop learning then we stop growing as a person and artist. It is by learning we can make our art better and grow as a person as well.
Personally I hate these blog assignments and they do nothing to help my creative process. For me creating something can not be taught, but is learned through hands on experience. I have a hard time learning when someone puts limits on my creative projects. All these blog assignments due is busy work. I don't get anything out of them other than it being fairly open in the sense, the blogs, are not to strict. Kind of like do this, do that, and do one of those. It is more open ended questions to be answered. I better way to spend my time or "class time" would to be handing out tutorials to follow and we recreate them without any limitation on the creative process (of course).
