Grind Time

In the beginning of the semester in my New Media Arts class I did not think or feel like a real artist. I didn’t know how to critique or give the proper constructive criticism to other artist’s work. As I mentioned before the only culture of art I had was going to museums in the city. Now that the semester is coming to a close, I am more sure of myself in continuing in new media. I have been taught to use software such as: Audacity, Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Pro 7 (outside of class but I used it for a project that involves the class). All these cool applications helped me create different new media that I am proud of. For my final project I made a video. I put voice sounds, music, color and different effects in it. It took me over 17 and a half hours total to create my video. I can honestly say, when I see a piece of art, video or an advertisement using computer graphics I really do appreciate the effort and final product because now I know it takes a while to make a decent new media art. I am glad I took this course and am to take more challenging new media arts classes that I can learn much cooler and useful software. I am an artist at my own level and hope to always do better in any art work I get my hands on. Thank you to the professor and my classmates for proving to me anybody can become an artist if he or she puts their time into it.
