Project Reflection

The art techniques that I used to create my project were piecing together some good sound loops in Garageband, although it was difficult because I had no Garageband loops to use, so I had to borrow some of Ted's loops. I had to find loops that went well together at 90 bpm, because I was going to sing on it. I ended up working with Nathan, so he wrote the lyrics, and I wrote the music and sang on it. So, the song ended up being a comedy rap called "Cow Tippin'" and I must admit I had a difficult time singing to it, because I've never had to sing about something like cow tipping.

Connecting my definitions of ART

My definition of Art is something that comes out of pure creativity, not something that comes from reflecting another piece of art. Just because you can play an instrument doesn't make you an artist, you have to create something with that instrument.

My project is good example of art because we are the ones who wrote the lyrics and copied and edited the samples to make the music enjoyable.

The feelings and moods our song communicates are joy, happiness, humor, and other good feelings! Woo!

The most difficult part of the project so far is writing lyrics. We're still in the process of writing them at the moment... but they will be the best damn lyrics ever.

"This is not art."

This kind of music is called "Grindcore." It is by far the worst expression of human creativity. So much so, hat it is not creative whatsoever. I's full of lousy, loud guitar mixed with some stupid screaming.  It's an earache and doesn't compare to any types of real metal at all.

Argument Collage Artist Statement

1st image: Legal to Love

The way I translated the ideas and details of my argument and evidence into a visual image was by taking an image of a sign found on a street in europe with the words "IT'S LEGAL TO LOVE" on it, and put it on top of a picture of the gay flag. This connects to my argument because it pretty much sums up the argument and evidence into a few words. My argument says that it isn't against the law or unconstitutional for gays to marry, an the evidence is the human heart and statistics and all that stuff. The effect I wanted to have on the audience was a kind of simple conveyed message made by real people involved with this argument. I thought that since the sign itself was purple, I'd stick it where it connects to the purple and red lines of the flag.

I can't say that there was much photoshop technique used here in this image. There are two layers and two pictures and one color scheme.
