(HW)6-2 Documented Process of Making Stop Motion

  I made very simple stop motion series using a tissue and the sampler of color filters. I was thinking how I can make narratives which are not apparent yet still connote emotional flows in the movement. I decided to use a tissue which is a daily object that everyone can easily access, and the sampler of color filters to create the atmosphere and provide film-like quality. A tissue is easy to manipulate and thus can be in several interesting forms; although I did a minimal intervention in my execution, it can be torn, colored, etc. for more variety.) Its sculptural characteristic is good to play with. The color filters can also be played with its material which I explored a little bit with a gray filter with its reflection.

(HW)6-4 Lesson Plan Idea

Lesson Plan_followed the structure of Judith Burton's lesson plan. 

Exploring scanography - in the relationship with performance and other art forms. 


1. Statement of the problem or activity. What you are going to teach.

  Scanography - As a documentation of performance and gesture

2. Number and age of pupils in the group. Relevant characteristics of developmental phase or phases. Prior learning experiences. 

  First-year art college students who are in the phrase of exploring several medium and methods of art-making. 

3. The objective of the lesson. What the pupils will learn.

  Understanding the mechanism how the scanner works and create images, and thinking about how this can be related to the other forms of art activities.
  In this class session, performance will be focused as a primary form to be explored with the scanner. 

4. Materials, supplies and equipment for the lesson.

  Scanner, computer, any objects and one's body.

5. Motivation dialogue/discussion.

a. Topic Question (spark)
  What media can be used in art-making? How our daily gestures and activities can be captured artistically and what process can render things meaningful?

b. Exploring Ideas
c. Recap
d. Ideas Into materials
  How does the scanner work? How the movement of the light bar makes image captured and distorted?

e. Recap
f. Flow Into Action
  Play with broader ideas to mix and match the art-making tools. 

6. Procedure for implementation.
a. Distribution of materials and equipment.
  While scanning, freely moving stuff or your body on the scanner to test how the movements are captured. Try several different ways playing with time, space and speed of movement.

b. Refocusing and redirecting attention; expansion of pupils' options, thoughts and ideas.
  Beside of performance, what other media can be explored with a scanner?
  Thinking about and exploring more possibilities of scanning activities.

c. Clean-up, collecting and storing work; encouraging personal responsibility for materials and work.
d. Teacher-student summation; sharing responses, ideas and outcomes.

7. Evaluation of the lesson and pedagogical competence.
a. Strengths of the lesson
b. Weakness of the lesson
c. Possibilities for redirection, follow-up and extensions. 

(HW) 6-5 Current Status of Impact 100 Work

I_Impact_on_100 Project 

  We (Jessica and I) decided to collect eye images on Instagram to create stop motion (or gif) making the collected eye images moving. When we post the animation back to Instagram, we will tag all people who posted the original eye images that used as each frame of the animation. On the image-based social media such as Instagram, people post their interest, and hashtag works to collect the same or similar subject. We want to gather people in a different way to create "a collective sensation". In the animation we are creating, people are automatically participating as a contributor of each frame, and get credit by being tagged.

(HW)5-1 Scanographs

 Scanographs

  

  I am intrigued by the performative image-making process through the scanning and its quality of reflecting and catching the textures. I experimented with fabrics with patterns to create new patterns, moving the fabric rhythmically. Another exploration is done by using two objects having different textures: the rabbit fur and the plastic wrap. I tested how different materialities got different responses from the scanner as well as how "the act of drawing" works on it. And I imagined the rabbit fur as a place like a canyon and the plastic wrap as a flow like a waterfall.

(HW)5-2 Artist(s) Using A Scanner

Jens Standke

  He uses light (reflection) and movement, and experiments with his body and the screen. 

  In his TV scanning series, the screen has reflective quality and moving images, yet the light from the scanner reflects the surface of the screen more than the images in it. 

  Also, he uses several reflective materials and moving them while scanning to create repetitive patterns. 

when the images are exhibited, he used the light box
to bring the feels of scanning
