Final Project Proposal

Image
 For the beginning of this class, I already knew what I wanted to do sort of. Which I will be doing a videos of me using different materials and spaces in the video to give it some type of dramatic effect. I want to take photos of the nature because I really did like taking pictures of many different things that I am doing or see when I am out and about. Ever since taking theses type of classes I always love doing videos and photos which is my art to me.  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C8cHh5Vg9A8U1f7Dn9MgMPuDxrywrrSyeZ98DlQ3k3k/edit?usp=sharing "Abstraction today is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror or the concept. Stimulation is no longer of that territory, a referential being or substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality" (Pg. 2). I feel like I chose this quote because it relates because I want my videos to at least show some type of abstraction or reality to my photos or videos. This quote means to me is that you

End of Class Wrap up

 "I-I hardly know, sir just at present-at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then" (Pg. 154). With my these projects I had a fun creating a learning different apps and mediums. Actually creating that these projects were difficult but the same time I was enjoying learning new things in art form way. Every project changed me in a way and make see art in a whole different way.  Prints: I really liked how my prints came out. I am glad that I went around Appleton took some pictures and my friend came along to help me out. At first for me I had a hard time printing out my prints but I got it together. Actually editing the photo to look right on the print paper. Actually taking photos and editing to how the way you want too look was exciting moment for me. I actually making these projects my own content and just having fun playing around a camera, editing apps and other apps.  Link for the five prints:  https:/

Daily Vlog Collaboration (Allatonceness)

 "You must talk to the media, not to the programmer is like complaining to a hot dog vendor at a ballpark about how badly your favorite team is playing" (Pg. 142). I feel like creating the video you do want to talk to the media and keep that engagement of your daily life. Now and days especially with this generation I feel we get caught up with some many other things going on in our daily life. I feel like sometimes you can forgot about those things and be use to that structure. Making videos really does capture those moments of everything.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUzC54uLGcc For the final project I decided to collaborate with my friend and peer Vay. Both of us came with a way of a video calling it "Daily Vlog". In this video we are both describing our day and just giving a day in our lives. This video shows how we through are our days but also the struggles of being a Lawrence student. But in the end we have close friend group that keeps us on our toes. Wi

Everything We Do (Is Music) SoundScape

 From McLuhan, "We hear sounds from everywhere, without ever having to focus. Sounds come from "above" from "below", from in "front" of us, from "behind" us, from our "right", our "left'. We can't shut out sound automatically. We simply are not equipped with earlids. Where a visual space is an organized continuum of a uniformed connected kind, the ear world is a world of simultaneous relationships" (Pg. 112). I feel like music or just sound makes you already listen and try to grasp that sound. Sometimes that music or sound can be good for you or sometimes not. Sometimes we do not even pay attention to sounds that goes around us.  Profile Pic  So with my song I decided to have a little of bit of R&B music mixed with Hip Hop. On normally day basis I listen to both genre of music all the time literally everyday. For me music calms especially listening to R&B music. I do not know if it's lyrics or the beat

My World

Some art project I did last term   Hi guys! My name is Tyler Johnson. I am currently a fifth year here at Lawrence. I am Studio Art major and minor in Ethic Studies. I am excited to be in this class and learn how to take photos and make good videos. I feel like for me recently I've been wanting to get into videos and photos because sometimes I make videos and take a lot of photos. I live in Los Angeles, California born and raised. I love living in my city because you can literally do anything out there. Plus you can explore the cities and enjoy those moments with your friends. So here is some images that I have taken to get a sense of me and little bit of my art work at the same.  A photo of me at Rolling Loud, photo of me for 21st birthday party,  For the most part of my life I just be chilling and enjoying life for what it is. Normally I do work, hangout with friends, do adventurous things like going to beach, views, movies, etc. I really do love hanging out with my family and al

Going Around The City  From McLuhan, "By altering the environment evoke in us their unique ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters the way we perceive the world"(Pg. 146). I chose this quote because it talks about the environment and how we can look at things. Also many people have different perspective on objects that you look or current things that is going on in the world.  Black and White Photos  For my photos I just wanted to focus on different things that is going on around in life and the nature of the world. So I just went around campus and downtown to take photos. So I just change the color of the photos and also just played with the camera. So whatever I saw that was interesting that I felt that was apart of nature or life. I just took a picture of it. With the photos I guess I just wanted to get the abstract of the city and different objects that I use and put together. For each album I wanted to use the same scene but in different in col

Time and Space

From McLuhan, "The medium, or process, of our time-electric technology-is reshaping and reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life"(Pg. 8). I feel like I can relate to this quote because my video is electric and sort of reshaping how things look in my video. I think my video is personal for me because I used current different objects that we use everyday. With a video it can make you see different things or have different perspective.  Picture of Water to relate to my video  For this project I just wanted to focus on the movement of water. So I just decided to film the lake that is on campus. I also did a couple of shots in the art room that is in Memorial Hall. When I was thinking about time and space I just instantly thought about water can be apart of it. In the videos I made as black and white background. You can hear sounds of the water as I pouring on many different objects. I did not know really why I thought ab
