Part 7: Sketch It Up
This would be the first page of my digital portfolio. The leaves that are falling would be an animated intro, as it would start with them falling down. The leaves with the titles "My Art" and "Artist Statement" would stop falling, while the leaves in the background would continue to fall continuously in the background.

Interactive Art: Brainstorming
1. What area of the school could really benefit by coming alive?
1) I think the area of the school that could really benefit by coming alive would be the cafeteria. I think that the cafeteria would benefit from being intereactive/ coming alive because it is very plain and unexciting for students. I think that by making it fun and interactive, it would help to boost the energy level of the many students in the cafeteria.
b. How could this space be brought to life? (ex. what kind of theme? lights, sounds,
textures?)
2) I think that this space could be brought to life by giving it a fun, music based theme. As more people entered or exited the cafeteria the volume of the music playing would change. There would also be lights flashing from the walls that matched with the beat and volume of the music. The tables would also be interactive at each setting, turning on only once someone is sitting in the chair at the spot. The spots interactive at the table would enable students and teachers to be able to relax with a game, doodle etc. to lighten the mood or relax them.

c. What would the message of this space be? What will this piece of art create a conversation with the viewer? How will your interactive piece be especially important for teenagers and our Catholic community?
3) The message of this space would be that it is a fun place for students to relax and come to boost their energy. This piece of art will create a conversation with the viewer therough the lights that would be flashing on the walls according to the music. This interactive piece will be especially important for teenagers and our Catholic community because it would help the students the relax and relive stress. I think that this is extremly important for teenagers since being stressed or overwhelmed can lead to very bad things.

4) The viewer would be able to interact with my piece of art in many different ways. One way that the art would be interactive would be through the students/teachers walking through the door to adjust the music. They would also be able to interact with the digital screens on the tables.

Interactive Art: Video Relfections
Monomyths Video
1) My favourite part of this group is the room with the mirror with the delayed movements. This was my favourite part because I think it is the most interesting for the person participating since you are not restricted, you are free to do whatever you'd like. I also think it would be interesting since you would be able to see what the people before you have done.
Luminous Ceiling
2) I think that this could be considered interactive because when people are walking under it they will feel like the piece is taking them to space, interacting them.
Ocean of Lights
3) I think that this could be considered a piece of art because like photographs, light is just a different medium for this group to make something that appealing to the eye, and thought provoking.

Ad Buster Reflection
Technical
For this assignment I used many different techniques. One new technique that I used was the liquify tool. I used this tool to make the logo on the can into a foetus. I also used a tool under liquify to make the label more rounded so that it would wrap around the can. I also used urbanfonts.com to find a font that matched the font on the Pepsi can, to be able to change to the flavours and add the text on the can.
Idea/Concept
My idea for this assignment was to show that PepsiCo was using foetal cells in their new drinks. The idea that I eventually used was to modify the Pepsi Next advertisement into showing that the new drinks are made using foetal cells. I did this by changing the new flavour names into names related to babies and foetal cells. My idea did develop a little bit, but not drastically. My idea was to always show that PepsiCo was using foetal cells in their drinks. However I did change the original as that I was using, from the "Some things were just born to be" advertisement to the Pepsi next advertisement.
Influences
For this assignment my influences were ad busters, and the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate that Mr. Smith and Fr. Jason had. Ad busters influenced my piece because I was able to use some of the techniques used in those ads in my own. The debate influenced me because I had other possibilities for this assignment, but after the debate I really wanted to do something related to abortion, so I chose the PepsiCo scandal.
Composition
For my piece I balance everything asymmetrically. The eye moves around the image since the most emphasis is placed on the pop can to the right of the image, but the eye still moves around to the pop cans in the background. This emphasis helps each individual piece because the viewer focuses on one piece enough to understand what it is showing, and then it can do the same for all the pieces. This also works for the image as a whole because the viewers are not just looking at one part of it, they are looking at the whole image.
Motivation
For this assignment I was motivated to show what PepsiCo was doing with the foetal cells. This motivated me because I thought that it was absolutely disgusting and wrong that PespiCo was the flavor enhancement testing with foetal cells.
Critical AssessmentI feel that the most interesting aspect of my piece was the change of the Pepsi logo into a child in the womb. I think this really pushed it over the edge to make the viewer see what Pepsi was doing. The logo was also the part of this piece that surprised me. I was very surprised at how much this really put the piece over the top and finalised what I was really trying to show. With more time I don't think there is anything that I would change, I am very happy with the way that this piece turned out.
