My repost for project 1 for Art311.

ARTC311 M001 INTERMIDATE 3D MODELING / FALL 2007 - Section One. Project 1.

I chose Julian Stanczak as the subject for my review. Stanczak was born in eastern Poland in 1928. At the beginning of World War II, Stanczak was forced into a Siberian labor camp, where he permanently lost the use of his right arm (he had been right-handed). In 1942, Stanczak (age 13) escaped from Siberia to join the Polish army-in-exile in Persia. After deserting from the army, he spent his teenage years in a hut in a Polish refugee camp in Uganda, Africa. It was in Africa that Stanczak learned to paint (left-handed). He moved to England and then the United States, where he eventually settled in Cleveland.
I like Stanczaks use of verying lines and wieght in his art. By controlng the length and width of the line he creates simple yet dizzing optical effects that can not only blur, but also weave around the viewers eye.

Barbara Hepwroth (1903-1975):
The eldest of four children and the daughter of a civil engineer who lived and worked in the West Riding of Yorkshire, her mathematical and primitive sculptures make interesting space that attracts my interest with their simplicity.





































Joan Miró (1893-1983):
Miró was drawn towards the arts community that gathered in Montparnasse. I like his style of make 3-D paintings with his sculptures. He even takes into consideration the background that you’ll see his sculptures with and use it to his advantage.































Nancy Holt (1938- ):
A pioneer of earthworks and public art, I enjoyed her use of sunlight and positioning to really offset her sculptures with the environment they are in.
habit.






























Tony Smith (1912-1980):
He attended the Art Students’ League, studying under George Bridgeman (1864–1943), George Grosz and Václav Vytlacil (d 1984). Exploiting the impersonal machined quality of steel, especially in industrially fabricated units which were ideally suited to an expression of serial repetition that holds a monolithic feel to them which I find fascinating.

























Vladimir Yevgrafovich Tatlin (1885-1953):
One of the two most important figures in the Russian avant-garde art movement of the 1920s, his Structures and sculptures truly pushed the limits of modern construction and building. These grandiose and often expensive projects are interesting do to there outrageous yet completely possible concepts.

Project 02: Paper or Plastic.

My student film will document the creation and deeper meanings of Online and DnD identities as seen through their creator‘s eyes. People take their online persona’s seriously, none more so than with online games or as they‘re often called Multi Media Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGP) like World of Warcraft (WoW), and EverQuest (EQ). However these games have their bases derived from older Pen & Paper Games like Dungeons and Dragons (DnD). Through this documentary I will interview some of these players and ask them how they feel their identity is represented through these games and which allows for the most accuracy in detail, and why.
I will interview several people who take part in these types of gaming events and maybe even a group collective of these gamers. Usually an interview are would be most appropriate for this venue of film; however, I would like to attempt to show the person play the game and the character they play. This will require me to interview my subjects where they often play these games.
I hope to show our culture has cultivated an underground sub-culture built on fantasies and false identities that, is often at times, more civil and cooperative than “normal “society. How, by creating and playing these character, people live some essential and deep seeded communal urge that is not usually present in today’s everyday society.
Presented interview style and with the subjects permission shot in living quarters. This simple film will not call for much in the way of elaborate scene set ups. I will present my subjects with a series of questions and tape their reactions and comments for presentation to the viewer.

I've never taken a good photo in my life, so you're stuck with these.
