Animation: Fantasy vs. Reality

Once again, Jeannie and I have totally different animations, but they work together. I created the Reality Animation and it mostly emphasizes on the violence that takes place here in America. I recreated the event that took place on 9/11 so it's a little graphic. My video ran a little longer than it was supposed to...I guess I just got caught up in my concept!

Reading Questions


1.) What are some ways that have influenced the perception of art over time?

2.) How does the reproduction of artwork affect the authenticity of the original artwork?

Project 1: Diptych


My partner and I did not read the directions as carefully as we should have...therefore our project is completely opposite of what it should be.

My montage focused on the realistic concept of modern society in America. While Jeannie's montage is very colorful, mine contains more black and white images. We wanted our montages to stand out against one another to show the differences between the two concepts. The images in my montage show ways in which our society is corrupted; through greed, violence, materialism, war, etc.
