You Can't Get Under My Skin
You Can't Get Under My Skin
THIS IS OUR FIRST CCTS ASSIGNMENT. WE WERE GIVEN A TABLE OF THEMES FROM WHICH WE HAD TO SELECT THREE. USING THE THREE THEMES WE SELECTED, WE WERE TO CREATE A UNIQUE ARTWORK CALLED 'SOMETHING I AM.'
THE PROGRESSION AND THE FINALISED ARTWORK ARE AS FOLLOWS;
Reflection
THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS UNQUESTIONABLY IMPROVED MY CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITIES. NOT ONLY DID IT PUSH ME OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, IT ALSO MADE ME APPRECIATE THE MEANING OF ART, NOT JUST THE BEAUTY OF IT. AS CLICHE AS IT MAY SOUND, THIS ASSIGNMENT EMPHASISES 'DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER' BY HOW DEEP OF A MESSAGE A SIMPLE ART CAN CONVEY.
THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS EXPOSED ME TO DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AS AN ARTWORK CAN SIGNIFY ANYTHING DEPENDING ON THE VIEWERS' PERSPECTIVES. THUS, I TRIED TO MAKE MY ARTWORK AS VERSATILE AS POSSIBLE; THIS MEANS IT CAN BE ANYTHING YOU THINK OF AND IT DOESN'T HAVE ONLY ONE MEANING BEHIND IT. THIS MAKES IT SPECIAL AS WHEN SEEING THIS ARTWORK, VIEWERS ARE LIKELY TO THINK OF SOMETHING THAT RELATES TO THEM EMOTIONALLY.
ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES I TRIED OUT DIGITAL ART WAS BECAUSE OF THIS ASSIGNMENT. THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS DEFINITELY MADE ME ACKNOWLEDGE HOW CONVENIENT TECHNOLOGY CAN BE WHEN USED FOR GOOD. I'VE LEARNED A LOT OF NEW SKILLS ESPECIALLY COLLAGING, WHICH I MOSTLY USED ON THIS ASSIGNMENT. NOT ONLY THAT, I'VE ALSO GAINED A LOT MORE CONFIDENCE IN DOING DIGITAL ART FOR OTHER ASSIGNMENTS BECAUSE OF THIS.
