Alison 3.2.08

Hey everyone! So my project has changed entirely since last week when I was thinking of making my collection shadows that illustrated my emotions and making it into a film... After talking to Regan on Tuesday about my project for her class and tell her about what I was thinking about for Julia's, she sent me off to San Marco to see a fresco in one of the monk's rooms that had Jesus on a throne blind-folded with floating hands around him head, which when just described sounds sort of odd. But anyways, seeing the fresco inspired me to head along a similar line as Regan's where I'm altering famous works in Photoshop... so for Julia's new project I'm going to create a slideshow of sorts that shows famous paintings where I've changed the hand gestures to make them more modern. It will be set up slightly as art history slides with titles on the bottom. I haven't figured out if it would be best to change the titles or not, so I'm going to be experimenting with that. Also I talked to Julia today and she was thinking it might be interesting to create images that go the opposite way (modern day images with famous painting gestures) so I'm going to play with that idea. I'm not going to set a limit to the types of images I create, so some will probably be quite humorous while others much more subtle. Right now everything is just crazy with the amount of work to do and everything happening this week, so I'm going to leave you with these thoughts and get back to working on my projects. :-)
