2005 HSC Art Major works (2 Viewers)

[arooshika...]

i'll post mine up later cause they are very big images and i'll have to reduce the file size

 

[tanka]

It's a .swf, and i'm not posting it as I hate it.

I made it in flash. I always intended my major work to be an animation. It was going to be a political version of road runner with osama and bush chasing eachother endlessly around the desert. I quickly got sick of the idea, and was unimpressed with what I had created, so I made the comic covers in my boredom and thought I should submit a smaller video as a small part of my BOW. (Just to show I had some animating skills and continue the political theme.) The end result is basically two minutes of a cartoon bush and osama chasing eachother back and forth to music.

It was the smartest thing I think I did with the work. I saw some digital videos last year at art express and they were awesome beyond anything I could create.

That tanka.....so hot right now!

 

[nookie]

tanka, they're awesome. it must have taken ages to draw(?). i think you'll get in!

 

[etc. etc. etc.]

Oooo political.

Always great to see some humorous political art

You've done well! (I speak in the past tense, like I'm already congratulating you for your good art practical marks)

That tanka.....so hot right now!

word, they're mad!

Hey, someone said they would love to have them hanging in their house, and I actually agree, and, if it's cool with you, could i get you to send me some high rez versions, i have a spot on my wall that is a botticelli that looks out heaps out of place that i have been wanting to swap with something for ages, and i would love to have one of your works if thats cool.

i'll add you to msn, and we talk?

 

[tanka]

I don't know why anybody would want them hanging on their wall, they don't seem like that kind of art to me. However, surprisingly enough I have been asked this before and my answer was no.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to hand out copies of my BOW at the moment. Ask again when weve got our marks back. I really wouldnt want to cause a controversy with my marks because i'd distributed copies of my BOW.

Thanks for the comments too guys! I'm glad you like them!

 

[MichaelPH]

The whole BOW is portriats of musicians..I kinda made that theme apparent thru the image of the microphone on two of the prints..the musical notes (kinda blended inot the backgorund of another print) and the use of those vertical lines throughout (like musical staff lines)

Do I see Moloko and PJ Harvey??? I hope so, awesome use of colour.

I signed up just then, impressed with the quality of the artworks in this thread. I thought i'd show off my own.

It's a collection of comic book covers I appropriated digitally to recontextualise them. (they were originally 1940s captain america covers) I submitted them as A3 prints framed in two seperate frames. (in groups of 3) I also submitted an animation which I hate.

I apologise for the quality in the link, I had to reduce the quality for bandwidth purposes.

Wow tanka that is awsome - I love it!

 

[Chris Lloyd]

My major work

Heres my major work. I did a digital animation in Adobe After Effects. It got 48/50 for the internal examination.

http://www.rianlloyd.com/ChrisLloyd/Apeiron/

My artists statement:
"Through semiotic images in society, we are presented with paths which differ from the lives we lead. These paths, while seeming to lead us from conflict to resolution, are infact merely illusions in the narrative that is modern urban living: the labyrinth. Sometimes we feel the urge to escape the confines of the city, but the nature of this illusion proves the ever permeating nature of deception.

The white city and the various abstract realities within it have been influenced by modernist artists such as Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley as well as novels such as ‘1984’. I explore abstract and monochromatic scenery as motifs to depict what we see as we choose a path in an imaginary reality.

The Apeiron is a cosmological theory created by Anaximander in the 6th century BC. It is an endless, unlimited mass subject to neither old age nor decay, which perpetually yields fresh materials from which everything which we can perceive is derived. It embraces opposites like light and dark, real and unreal, and directed the movement of things, by which evolved the host of shapes and differences we find in the world. It relates to my piece by being the link between the fictitious world we see in the work, and the world that surrounds us in everyday life."

 

[tanka]

That is awesome Chris!

That's art express stuff, and the animations I saw at art express were awesome. your animation is that high quality.

 

[cuivienen]

Chris.Lloyd - Your work is highly original, complex and simply wonderful (I also love the music)...I hope your effort sees an excellent result...I'd definitely want to see this on the art express short-film reel...Did Minimalist artworks influence some of the shots in your short film?

 

[ElGronko]

That short film is way better than a lot of the films at art express last year.

i hope you make it in, i really enjoyed that. The music is sick, who is it by? Or is it self devised?

Good stuff.

 

[mugnet]
