Day and Light: a day out about colour and light...

As part of our task we had to attend an exhibition displayed at the Djanogly Art Gallery, to view a collection of works from a few artists, associated with colour and light. Although some of their work were simply in style, all seemed very interested and understanding. So after having a quick look around, there became many pieces of work that appealed to my interest. I enjoyed the creations from Richard K. Webb and Rebecca Partridge mostly, because their work was very eye catching, using colour in a very effective way. The piece of work I have chosen to write about is “The Dreaming” created by Rebecca Partridge. This piece was not the best from her collection, but displayed the most meaning (or at least it makes you think you understand the meaning). The artist created a disco like atmosphere, by using bright colours amongst a dark background. This image reminds me of when you close your eyes after to much light and all you see is colour spots. The use of colour has become the subject in the series of paintings alongside shape and form, and being effective in style adds character, applying movement as well as light and space, and although the colours are vivid overlapping them changes established light and also created new colours.

Maybe this is what she wanted to achieve, the given title “The Dreaming” makes me wonder the light used at the centre of the image was the waking point of Rebecca’s dream. Concentrating on the centre of the picture almost assumes thee as though the oval shapes are moving towards the centre and as if the colours are being affected, creating a form of contrast alongside a intangible narrative within the final concept.

Multimedia Technology and it’s Development

Technology in the last few years, has we all discovered, has developed dramatically. The inspiration for all technology I would say comes from the society we now live in. Due to it becoming so technical, all technology produced needs to be in the requirement of high quality production.
From the old traditional way of doing things, technology has now taken over various area of how we do things. Whether it’s from waking up in the morning or washing clothes by hand to writing letters to communicate or even drawing by hand to create a story, all these events now are replaced by technology, having the use of technical devices such as alarm clocks, washing machines, mobiles phones, computers and programmes. I believe that various areas, which are more on a professional level, such as animation, video production and education areas are highly driven by technology, simply because a new source equal to new ideas and inspiration and enables us to act freely whenever it comes to creativeness. Overall technology is known to make things in society easier, and develop, only to create better quality and greater performances from the basic original design.

Write a 300 – 500 word article that tells the audience about a recent multimedia technology that is being or has been developed in the last six months and explain what you think the impact of this technology will have upon society.

Technology In General

Whenever it came to technology i was always behind, lacking of most recent tecnology devices available. With technology developing so rapidly, it was hard to keep with upgraded versions and simply kept aware of the basics. Occasionally this applied simply because I could not afford them or they just did not seem that important to me. Growing up, my interest now lie in art and design and pretty much everything creative, so equipment and technology are important tools for me to express myself creatively, and it is important for me to keep updated.

My 1st Pixilation

I have to backtrack myself a little for you to understand my starting piont. Right, a few weeks ago as our first task, we was to create a animation clip using still pictures. I found this activity very interesting, and was well ready to take part. I was unaware of this technique, and have already learnt something new. Fascinated with how the way things work, the key element is to create something that a video camera can not capture, in terms of style and creativity. With this in mind, i have already thought of a range of ideas. My first idea, initally, was to do dancing shoes (which is still under progress!) but because it is so time consuming, i had replaced it with another idea i had in mind, to complete my task on time.
My pixilation is about me, returning back from my where abouts and finding that my room is a tip! Having no time to tidy it, i sit and try to do some work, but i accidentally fall asleep. While asleep i dream of my room in great thoughts, but then i awake to find out it was just a dream.
