So I'm embarking on a kind of private art project. In the last 2 years, I've kept what are referred to as RWBs - Research Work-Books - for my photo classes. I think I want to continue on with the tradition, sort of. RWBs were always really public and...while they weren't dry, they were almost entirely, well, research-based. I think the one I'm starting now will be more in the way of a journal. It's not a diary, and it's not a work-book, but it's a happy amalgamate of the two. A project that only my self will see - a letter to myself, if you will.Anyway, a slightly more public aspect of that is that I am thinking of incoporating the livestream webcasting sight. I tend to put a fair amount of design effort into individual pages, so I'm thinking of recording and/or streaming the creation of (some, not all) pages. The cool thing about livestream is people don't need an account to watch, so it could be a cool almost performance-art type thing.
Just ideas.
You may ask: what the heck does that have to do with the photo at the top of the page? Well, the photo at the top of my page is one of the many rubbish offspring of my plan to really make Art a part of my every day (literally - EVERY DAY) life. I'm now resolving to take pictures every day. Most of them assuredly suck, but at least it's keeping the creative juices flowing, right? And, this personal/private applications of thew new RWB 2.0 is much along the same lines. Making art a standard part of my life.
peace.

ReplyDeleteElizabeth I feel like I'm failing as a photography enthusiast. I feel like I'm not taking as many photographs as I should. I defenitely think that commiting yourself to take pictures everyday is a good idea. I think I might do that myself! Haha well anyway good job on your work in class, I love your creative perspective. Oh btw I'm the Asian kid that sits to your right. Just incase you were wondering. Lol!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know who you are. :P
ReplyDeleteYou're not failing! Geez, it's not like you can "fail" at Art. :D But, yeah, I think the pictures-every-day is a good idea. Even if/though most of them are trash, at least an effort is being made, right?
Also, thanks. =]
Very true. And this is awesome. It doesn't necessarily have to be pictures, try to be various in your artistic choices, but any digital art is a good way to keep to that. A scrapbooking project perhaps, but less gay? No offense to scrapbookers...
ReplyDeleteBasically, the RWB I was talking about is a non-gay scrapbook. :) I can show you a previous example if you want.
