Post Apocaliyptic World: Brainstorm

a. What do you think could be a possible end of the world? How do you think this particular disaster would affect the physical environment? (Ie. Would there be a lot of explosions, charred buildings, etc.)

A possible end of the world scenario I think would be nature revolting against mankind. Lots of natural disasters and weather changes in world would destroy most of man kind. Leaving the world in a over grown statue where the remaining humans are living using nature and the remains of the man-made world.

b. What particular aspect do you think you would like to show in your piece of art? Ex. The psychology of the survivors, the physical world and how it’s been rebuilt? Perhaps a more positive world, where we are ecologically and socially harmonious with the future landscape?

In my art I want to show the devastation that was inflicted on humans.I would also show how the remaining humans how they are living off the remains of man-made items and starting over in this new life style.    

c. What are ten thing that you think would survive the disaster that you would like to portray? Why do you think these things in particular would make it?

I think a few humans will survive along with the animals, bugs, fish, birds and plants. Some rudimentary devices and self sustaining technology like solar cells will make it through the destruction. agriculture, literature and art are also some of the few thing that survives with the humans. I believe that these will survive because even though most of it was destroyed by the phenomenons some of it will remain and continue.

d. What could serve as a symbol of hope in your picture?

I would use a family to represent hope in my world. The family shows that there is still a chance for man kind to live on and start a new.The family will also show how humans are now living in harmony with nature and its creatures.
 

e. Take a look at the art or T&T (Tyler Brett and Tony Romano), specifically, Onward Future. These artists depict a future that can be recognized because their vision is based on trends we see around us now. They offer a chance to imagine and understand what the future may possibly hold. What do you think about their art? What do you think makes their work appealing to others?

I think that their art is interesting but I find it simplistic. Their concept is fascinating how it's a futuristic view of the world that they show in their art which is probably what draws people to their work.

Reflection: Album Cover

Technical 

For this project I used digital camera and Photoshop to create my art. I used hand-made objects in my house as subjects for the photography and I used Photoshop to give the photos a personal effect.   

Idea or Concept 

At first I had an idea of using Green Day as the band for my cover; Green Day is a heavy rock type band but has thoughtful lyrics. As I took the photos I thought the hand-made subjects were better suited for Rascal Flatt another band I enjoy; Rascal Flatt is a country rock band and there down-home style fit better with the subjects that I photographed.

Influences 

I didn’t have a specific influence for this project; it was a project with its own unique inspiration.  I just winged it.

Composition 

My composition was I primarily asymmetrical. On the front cover I draw attention to the candle and then the eye is drawn to look around it at the art and effects on the edges.   The back cover draws attention to the star and then leads the viewer to the clock face and finally the song titles.

Motivation 

I want a job in the creative arts in my future. I have to get better and grow in my artistic skills to move towards my goal.  Likewise I need to show my skills so I may obtain my dream.

Critical Assessment 

I sort of liked the effects I used on the clock in my opinion I think it’s interesting and gives the photo a painting-like feel. If I could work on it more I would make the artwork look more hand-made.
