Harry Potter...

Well, I am currently 5 blog posts short for the class...  And I have one week left... Let's see if we can get a couple more done.  Movies and Books are a type of Artwork in my opinion.  I just wanted to take a minute and tell you how much Harry Potter is a good series.  We just got back from watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)...  WOW...  And to top it off, they cut the movie at the perfect place...  The even better part about this, is we only have to wait about 6 months until part 2 comes out... Can't wait...

So you think you can Drum???

Well the next project is to take several copyright-free videos, and mash them together and change them up so that you change the meaning of them.  I will be taking several clips of drummers, and making a TV type show out of it...  Well, a comercial for a TV type show for it...
This is page 1 of 4 for the story board.  Once I complete the video, I will post it here...

Feel free to make any comments about what you think.

Thanks,

Curt

Futurism... Art...

Futurism began in Italy.  The artists last name is Boccioni.  You do not get much more Italian then that, so this must be Futurism... Right???




Seriousy though, Futurism is based on the glorification of the machine and denunciation of classical art.  This painting almost has mechanical qalities to it, and it is far from classical. Motion, speed, and dynamics are part of Futurism.  The reds and the swirls in this painting almost give me the feeling of running.  I also see some qualities that could lead to "punk" type of paintings as well.  I love this piece, and can get lost in it...
