Todays Reading

I thought today's reading was thought provoking because of the idea that photography is dead. In a way, i agree with the statement because of how the text talks about the truth behind a photograph. To me, a photograph is supposed to reflect reality, and the art of photography is to capture that reality in a beautiful and creative way. When we take the image and add elements in that aren't actual truth we are being misleading to the audience. I definitely thought the section of the reading on this topic was very relevant and made me think!

Preston Bailey

Today i was learning about Preston Bailey during my internship, and it really made me realize how our DTC classes are integrating with my career choice. Wedding design is alot more mixed media that i originally thought, which is a great thing for me or else my degree would be useless! Something i saw about Preston Bailey was how he creates sculptures out of flowers, and thats his signature element. This made me think about the artist presentations from last semester that showed alot of artists using everyday elements and making them special.

Projector Art

This Article caught my attention today because of the re-imagination that the artist used. I am always intruiged when people take something someone else has created and then changes the focus to bring a new light to the material. It makes me think about how if we had all the same idea, we would be able to all present it uniquely because of all out different perspectives!
