Artist's Statement: Abiding by the class's theme of reality and fantasy, Scott and I have each created an image that is themed as such. For my montage (right), I used images that both Scott and I thought were of interest and placed them in an way that would contrast reality and fantasy as opposite halves of one. Although they are opposites, we need both-- yin and yang. Without fantasy, reality would wear us out. Some of today's inventions and achievements started out as a fantasy... but then they became reality. Long had man wanted to fly, and now in our present day, we have airplanes. This image relates to everyone, because everyone wishes to escape reality at some point of their life. Some may decide to do this through TV, some through vacations, and for people like myself and Scott-- video games and anime. To say this image expresses myself would most certainly hold true, and it was quite fun to put together.
I think this project is very interesting and fun to look at! Each image is very busy as it is full of different images. I enjoy how you can clearly tell which one is fantasy and which one is reality right away. The two images also go together very well. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThe first piece on the left stood out to me more as a statement piece than the one on the right. This is good, because I was able to look at both these pieces and view them in different ways, but with the same images. I liked the different images, it made the pieces stand out strong, very good work on both parts.
