Final Art Statement

As I said on the first class time, I have learn a lot about new media art and visual programs. Finally, I am able to modify, develop and change my worthless pictures into decent picture with Photoshop. It has been for a while, since I took the art class at earlier school. It was so much enjoyable for me to watch other classmates’ creative works. I was taking all major classes, except art class. Making an animation and sound also really means a lot to me. There were a lot of works than I expected. I began to have the respect for animators who draw the every single picture and motion of a tons of pictures for 2 hour animation by hand or programs. Besides, there was significant stress, but I was really enjoyed it at the same time. Once I forgot studying for midterm exams of major class, I only focused on making the animation.. There was not chance to express myself in the finance classes. The classes only require me to calculate and solve the questions, so I realized that I express myself through the art. Therefore, I spent more time making an animation.

The lecture about Poppolotti, McLuhan, and Paul, developed my visual experiences and widened the standard view of media art. Honestly, I got confused more. Art can be everything and everything can be art. Art can be meaningless. Meaningless art can be meaningful art by itself. Art is so difficult for me. During the semester, it was so fun watching that I and classmates were inspired by each other’s works and think outside of box in final projects. We communicated each other, showing feelings and thoughts through the each other’s works without any word. It was such a great experience in my life. I am really appreciate professor and classmates.
