Intertextuality : a Sneak Peek

iLight

Intertextuality is the shaping of a text meaning by another text. In Art Three, we are trying our hand at Intertextuality by shaping the meaning of an image with another image. These works are currently in production but I thought I might post a sneak peek! Take a look -->

Bag a Buck

The Hunger Games and Target

Creating a stencil of a dollar with Barbie's face

The Barbie Project:

Selena Gomez as Jesse

Barbie's actual dimensions: 5’9” tall,39” bust,18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe. Barbie likes her weight at 110 lbs. At 5’9”, weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. 

For a doll, Barbie gets a bad rap. You can find plenty of pins on pinterest where people are complaining about Barbie's proportions but nobody complains about Raggedy Anne! 

What If people had the dimensions of other dolls or cartoon characters? Raggedy Andy, Andy from Toy Story, Sponge Bob or Marge Simpson?

Hanging Art

How do you display art at your school? At Apex we are going digital. Our 42 inch flat screen display sits front and center in the main lobby. Photos of art rotate all day long in slideshow mode. How fun is that?!
 

First Animation Project : Walk Cycle

 

The assignment was for the Computer Art class to hand draw the 8 steps (no pun intended) of a walk cycle and convert them into an animate GIF using PhotoShop.. 

Some students chose to create the walk cycle using cutout paper puppets. The paper puppets were placed into the 8 positions and a photo was taken for each.

Just Buttons

Never mind these buttons. I just needed to upload them so I could redo the side bar... 

Yeah, so I needed a place to store the images so here is where I did it...

Now go back to what you where doing... Move along people. Nothing to see here
