Amy T 2.10.08

well i like our new assignment i think. mostly because i have quite the obsession with film. i need to brainstorm the movies ive seen with good cinematography/directors. i did rent a hitchcock film as it was suggested to do so, but i havent watched it yet. i was really interested in miracolo a milano and i think i might order it on amazon, so maybe we could watch the part we missed. if i end up getting it. anyway, i also have yet to find my little "backpocket" element from my last piece, the subjective drawing. i was thinking maybe the difference in mark making depending on subject and position in space (the closer to the viewer the more scratchy and clearly made the marks were, or the fact that the more feminine things were smoother, since my theme was roundness...). but that's definitely not my solidified idea. i really enjoyed the very very special effects from the milano movie, and might be inspired by that for the next piece. i also enjoy the idea of having a narrative in our next piece. I am really interested in the idea of framing figures and being able to see their faces but not see what they are looking at or what is making them react. i am almost sure that will be an element in the next piece. i also love the extreme characters in the last movie. very stylized and exaggerated. i loved it.

also, last night was really fun. i'm glad it was called "playing games" rather than "making art."
