Final blog entry

This year went by so fast!!!!



I came into Media Art thinking that all I would really learn about was Adobe Photoshop, clearly I was wrong. This year I learned so much! From learning how to make multiple pictures of myself all in one frame, to making videos on Movie Maker, really allowed me to leave this course knowing I gained alot of knowledge.



EccentriK really brought out the creativty of Mary Ward students. Every project that was made by a Mary Ward student was displayed, showing many what they are capable of doing. All the pieces created were beautiful and nonetheless unique.

During my first Media Arts class, each student was required to do tutorials of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. At first, it was long and difficult, but as time passed I feel i got use to them. Our first big project of the course was creating a multi-exposure image. There were many techniques of going about making this image, and I found that some ways were easier than others. The way I did it was very easy. As a matter of fact, I finished my multi-exposure image and when I was going to hand it in into commserv, the file corrupted and no one was able to access it. So instead of going through the difficulty of trying to recover the file, I just ended up doing it again, and it took the later than 30 minutes. It was quite easy. I really like this multi-exposure project because it was alot of fun. We were free to do anything we want, and free to use any technique in making the image. For this project, we had many options.

The next big project I really like was when we had to create a pattern and vectorize an image of someone we found to be EccenticK. Doing these two things we found, would later combine to make something bigger. We made a pattern and were required to place it onto of our vectorized image of someone we found to be EccentricK. Our pieces were put into the Art Show on the Comm Tech side.

Lastly, as the final project we were asked to make a video on Windows Movie Maker, or another video maker. This project was definitely fun to do, and it taught us how to use Windows Movie Maker.

When I look back at what we've done in this course, I find, I did alot of projects and pieces I thought i was not capable of doing. I really liked this course and what I learned, and I hope to take this course once again.
