Hw #1: Introduce Yourself

The Final Scene, 1920x1080, Digital (2023)

My name I Jonathan Pastran I'm in the BFA Animation Track and for my “Introduce Yourself” it was a 2D Animation that I made for Thesis 1 that was called “The Final Scene”. It was an installation in the form of being shown on a TV with a game console connected to it to give that feeling of a final cutscene for a video game. This animation has no dialogue, the only audio that is heard is the ambient sounds for each of the seasons which was the premise of the animation where I wanted the colors, ambient sound, and the character’s posture to define the meaning of the animation. In class the animation was shown through Youtube with my IPad as it was placed on a table for everyone to watch.

1. INTRODUCE YOURSELF

My name is Ayesa Albelo and I am in the BFA Animation track at FIU. My work consist of different mediums and ideas, choosing to showcase those that best serve my artistic talent. I've always been drawn to facial features and how each person's features are uniquely designed. In my work, I want to be able to include and perfect those designs through various mediums to showcase those portraits. Most importantly, I want to be able to play with any and every form of art to explore and have fun with my craft.

Introduce Yourself

Above is the work is presented in the “Introduce Yourself” project on August 23. It is an animated character icon of Vyle, a character of mine that I have worked with throughout my previous animation classes. My intent was to show the kind of characters I like to make and how smooth my animating has gotten. I attempted to screen mirror the gif on a wide screen television through my iPad, but for some reason the device was not compatible. Instead, I had to place the device length-wise (so the gif could take up the whole screen) on a small desk separated from works made by other artists. This was done to make sure the viewers would not lose focus on one specific piece presented in class.

QCQ #3 Context and Content

Quote: "In one of those bad puns he loved, Duchamp turned the exhibition topsy-turvy and 'stood you on your head.' The ceiling is the floor and the floor, to drive home the point, is the ceiling."

Comment: This quote refers to Marcel Duchamp's artistic gesture involving the inversion of the gallery space during the International Exhibition of Surrealism. Duchamp subverted the traditional expectations of an art exhibition by transforming the ceiling into the floor and vice versa. The act challenged the conventional relationship between the viewer and the gallery space, emphasizing Duchamp's inclination towards unconventional, thought-provoking concepts. The inversion served as a metaphorical commentary on the dynamics of art, context, and perception.

Question: How does Duchamp's act of turning the exhibition "topsy-turvy" challenge the traditional expectations of gallery spaces and the viewer's experience?

Self Directed Practice

This collage was created with film photographs I have taken and collected over the years. I assembled the pieces comprised of places I have traveled to, to create a surrealist dreamscape that would effectively flow as one. I plan on collaging much more of my photography to create more landscapes or surreal scenes.

Redo/Undo

For my Redo/Undo project I chose to do a painting for the medium switch up. I wanted to focus more on the emotion behind my history with my knee surgeries, particularly the tiredness of the repeated procedures I had to endure and the disconnect I felt from my body as I moved through the many months of recovery. I put more emphasis on the expression on her face over her actual body. The choice to keep her unclothed was to capture the sense of vulnerability I felt in those years.

Introduce Yourself

For my introduce yourself assignment I had chosen 3 segments from my thesis 1 board project. The reason for choosing this piece was partly because by the time the semester began I knew I wanted to continue and push this concept further. This project provided me the opportunity to explore the emotions and difficulties behind having had 6 reconstructive knee surgeries and how to put forth those concepts into a physical piece. There tends to be much range to my work, I don't particularly stay working with one medium for very long before I eventually circle back around to it, making experimentation and exploration a big part of my art as a whole.

H/W Assignment #2: Monday, August 28th (QCQ)

Quote: “The way pictures are hung makes assumptions about what is offered. Hanging editorializes on matters of interpretation and value, and is unconsciously influenced my taste and fashion. Subliminal cues indicate to the audience its deportment. It should be possible to correlate the internal history of paintings with the external history of how they were hung.”

Comment: I have been taught about mindful placement when presenting work in the past but never considered the importance of considering the context and presentation of artwork to fully appreciate its historical and cultural significance. The way an artwork is hung or displayed is a form of communication that reflects on the artists or curators vision. Whether obvious or not, by inspecting how artwork was displayed throughout history, we can gain insight to the changing ways in which society has interacted with and valued art.

Question: In what ways might the historical context and societal values impact the way artwork is displayed?

Hw #2: Note on the gallery space QCQ

(Damien Gilley, Portland International Airport, Skywalker Tape on walls)

Quote: "The greater the illusion, the greater the invitation to the spectator's eye; the eye is abstracted from an anchored body and projected as a miniature proxy into the picture to inhabit and test the articulations of its space."

Comment: When I chose this quote I never thought about how spacing can correlate with the illusion that I'm trying to do with my art. I think of having enough figures on the piece so that it won't look empty. When I did my first showcase for Thesis 1 it made me think more on spacing especially since it was the first time I ever did an installation and how the spacing of my installation and of my classmates matter and how they can affect the pieces and how were trying to give this illusion of trying to have them feel the atmosphere of our works.

Question: How much spacing can affect the illusion of an artwork? Can spacing help accentuate the illusion of an artwork by correlation of its placement?

A collaborative sculpture made from found patio plastic chairs and recycled pieces of stretched chicken wire. The piece speaks to inhospitable anarchitecture of the highrises which seems so out of reach as living entities for a large sector of the population. the containment in wire speaks to the separation of classes keeping out of reach the vast majority who cannot access the high rising cost of living.
