Welcome, welcome to my experimental website!! In this site you will be able to see my conceptual art, my animation and finally my poems. I have been working on this project for over twomonths. In this unit I am given a conceptual statment where I will have to use this statement to create the image, theme, and poetry for this unit.

After the experimental unit I feel as though a am a whole new person, meaning I have created art beyond my intentions. I have create a website filled with my passion, and creativity. I feel proud, and satisfied with my work. It was a challenge to create an image from my conceptual statement (“I experiencing the feeling of anxiety, when I see signs of aging.”) and grapes the idea of aging,while connecting with out society today. I like to thank you for visiting my website.

In this part of my website I had to create to choose a poem from my choice, and create an animation based off of my poem. At first I was unsure which poem to choose from,since I made about five to six different poems form my english class. I decide to choose my poem called Grim, yet I had some issues animating my poem so I decide to use my haiku poem instead.

I took my poem into a program called Flash CC, where I created the animation for it. I had to use a Program called Reason to create the creepy music you hear in the animation, and my recording of myself reading to you the haiku. It was a huge challenge just to figure out what, and how I will animate mu haiku poem, but at the end i managed to figure out an idea for my poem.

Welcome to my music page! If you click on the media player you will be able to hear my experimental music that I worked on in a program called reason. I was given the choice of whether to create my music in Protools, or reason. I choose reason because they have a variety of different basses, tunes, and much more to create the music you want or more.

At first I was lost and didn’t know where to begin or what I wanted for my music. I listen to some of my music to get an idea of what I might want for my music. It took my several times of exploring, creating, deciding, and satisfying idea for my experimental music. After finally creating the idea I went in to Reason where I was able to create to music I desired. In reason I have the ability to create any type of music, vocal, or sound effect for any project, movie or etc. I had lots of fun creating this piece even though it did not turn out the way I wanted it to be. I still had a lot of fun creating something that was out of my comfort zone of just listing to other great artist.

In my freestyle english class I was given an assignment to create a poem from my conceptual statement of “..anxiety when seeing signs of aging.” I had to read a book called the beat book to get some ideas, and inspiration on how beat writers created their poems, how the were not afraid to express themselves in a society that was compressing them. As soon as I was given the chance to write my poem I was on a roll. I couldn’t put my pencil down, I felt free, I felt happy, sad, and etc. The goal was to create 75 lines of poetry in two weeks. By the end of two weeks I feel as though I went above the 75 limit, like I said before I couldn’t put my pencil down.

In my web audio class I was assigned to create images for my poems, and to place them on the website for everyone to see. At first I had a hard time coming up with an idea with for each of my poems, but after re-reading them over and over I have found it. If you would like to see my poems in full view

I am exploring the concept anxiety when I see signs of aging. For my conceptual art I was challenged to express this idea in a way that is not literal to my audience. When you first glance at the artwork you see a mush of wild colors, and scattering objects, it does seem overwhelming at first and that is what I my audience to grasp. I want them to feel overwhelmed with anxiety in because in our everyday lives we see ads and commercials to keep our skin beautiful and younger, we find these workout programs to help us keep in shape in order to live a healthier, and longer life style. It’s not uncommon for us to fear our time of age. We all dislike the idea of aging, some fear it more than others, and it is a negative sign of our death in the near future. Individuals are so consumed with the idea of beauty that we tend to lose ourselves in a never ending fall where we are too afraid to admit that we grow older each day.

For my background I used a medium of watercolors, and some ink. At first the colors for my background were too vivid, it did not represent the feeling of anxiety. I took my background into photoshop and changed its hue, and saturation to a lighter color. I used raisins to represent the signs of aging, I mushed the raisins into different shapes, and sizes to get and interesting effects of shades, lighting, and visuals. I had a lot fun creating my conceptual art because I was given a chance to really express myself, to rebel agaisnt traditional art work. Thany you again for looking through my website.
