Self-Evaluation



I think the most significant work is the final project, because it can most describe my mood. Going back home! After one year's study, I really feel so tired and want to go home now. So I just want to show my alone condition. And I used the most common technique taught in class like retouch and different kinds of selection tool.


I really like this class. It has a relax class situation and a nice teacher. The more important fact is I can learn a lot of knowledge not only about how to creat and edit a nice picture but also how to criticize and enjoy the art work and computer art.


I will try to learn and watch others' work on the internet in the future. Hope all of the classmates will continue spending time on the computer art!

Alone


The above is the image after using technique.

I think as a international student. Loneliness is a common problem we need to face in the daily life. The friends and sweethearts may help you at sometimes. But finally you will find there is only yourself here. You can not find the true belongingness here .I just want to creat a project to describe this kind of feeling.

Two artists who inspire my project

I want to introduece two artists who really help me in doing my project.

The first one is a film called Reserve Angle.
WITH LOS ROLLOS PERDIDOS DE PANCHO VILLA (The Lost Rolls of Pancho Villa, 2003), Gregorio Rocha has constructed a fascinating document of the intertwining histories of cinema, politics, and culture. The film grows out of a surprising contract made in 1914 between the Mutual Film Corporation and Pancho Villa, in which the leader of Mexico’s Constitutional Army granted the company exclusive rights to film him in exchange for 20 percent of the profits from any resulting movie. From this odd agreement came The Life of General Villa, 1914, a heroic portrayal of Villa’s life that included select footage of the Battle of Ojinaga. In subsequent American movies, after Villa’s troops invaded Columbus, New Mexico, in 1916, he was portrayed as a villainous bandit from across the border.Because my main topic is angle so it shocked me by a quite different feeling.

The second one is Twisted Sister: Artwork by Jamie Fingal. My bid idea is about a story about two angles. The little sister stay in the black pray for her sister angle. For letting her sister live in the sunshine and have a happy life she even can put all her life in a horrible place. And this website give me the feeling of the love between sisters.
