Friends of Dorothy- Andrew Norris

Sadly, I could not attend the talk but lucky my friend was able to record it. From what I listen, Andrew Norris when speaking he does not mask the truths. He say what he needed to say and answer the questions with full honesty. I like how through recording, not only I hear that he has sincerity to the arts his arts but also to his audience. I love how when people asked him regarding "body struggles" he did not sugar coat it and instead he delivered a truthful answers in which everyone in the room could related to. In his arts, though he masks the backgrounds unrealistic backgrounds which can be seen throughout his artworks, I love that the focus of his artworks are filled with realness. I also like that he used different characters from different generations such as Lil nas x who is a well-known queer of this generation. I think this way, it allows different generations to access and understand his work.

    I agree that the sincerity of the artist during the talk was really nice. It helped people relate to the artist and his work.

    His openness about his struggles was something I too really appreciated. His work with queer artists shows just how important that representation in media really is.

Diagram

I’m going, to be honest, I had a hard time coming up with ideas for this week's topic. However, when Lupton stated “...diagrams often function to illuminate and explain complex ideas” (215), I realized that this topic is the most relatable to me especially with this pandemic going on. Disclaimer, I do not mean to be insensitive about other people’s opinions on the current pandemic. My idea for this topic is to show how I thought this pandemic affected me vs how it’s actually affecting me. How Covid affected me is a difficult subject to talk about as I tend to be biased by coming up with “it’s making my life miserable”. Creating a diagram or mapping on how it personally affected me makes it so much easier to see and understand without being biased.  The arrow pointing to the right represents how I thought COVID affected me. When I said I am biased about this subject I meant it. The diagram above evidently shows how it affected me negatively. From COVID resulting to quarantine from q...

Time and Motion

For this week topic, I decided to make a collage to show the movements of the photograph I took two summers ago. As Lupton says  “A motion sequence is developed through a series of storyboards, which convey the main phases and movements of  an animation” (Lupton 233),  so I thought I would use collage as my storyboard.  Short story: Before these action images were taken, the first guy in the photograph challenged our other two friends to jump with him. As shown in the images, they accepted the challenge. However, the guy who challenged the other guys did not jump as he was “afraid” and you can see that at end of my storyboard.  I thought these images would be perfect to relate to the storyboards and animating type that Lupton discussed in the book. In this collage, I had to make sure that I was putting the right images on the right boxes so that timing and motion will match the next image. I did agree when Lupton talked about how slow timing might be a drag for ...

Color

      For this project, I decided to talk about the flag of the Philippines and the flag of the United States. I thought this topic is relatable to the statement that Lupton made "Likewise, color changes meaning from culture to culture. Color carries different connotations in different societies" (Lupton 81). As you can see in the images below, both flags basically used the same colors red and blue which are the primary color, and white. However, since these flags are from two different cultures, the colors acquire different meanings for each of the flags.       For the flag of the Philippines, the blue color represents justice, peace, sacrifice, and truth. The red represents war, courage, and patriotism. White symbolizes fraternity, liberty, and equality. The yellow color symbolic of freedom, unity, sovereignty, and democracy. On the other hand, the blue color that is seen in the flag of the United States represents vigilance, perseverance, and j...
