  1. Notes: 2/18/10

    Abstraction- Chair
    * icon, index, symbol

    Audio/Visual- surprising combination of abstraction.
    Active Play- create sounds that aren't actually depicting the sound.

    - Do not use literal/visual representations.

    * In digital image, where is the mark
    pixel=mark

    what makes a digital piece unique?
    -- intent, style, approach, how you manifest an idea.

    Imagination vs. Creativity
    * How do you manifest an idea?
    - Apriori
    - During Process (Me)
    - At the end

    This piece is getting you to learn how to investigate

    7 Stages-

    1- Idea, Question, or Problem
    2- Investigation, Gathering (Focus most on)
    3- Saturation
    4- Gastration
    5- Wow!!! Ah- hah!
    6- Making
    7- Done, Critique Time

  2. Don't be absolutlely literal. Be abstract

    Linearity isn't completely avoidable, you'll need some or narrative won't make sense.

    Non-iconic images/audio to make what you're pushing for

    Direct 1:1 literallity: don't use excessively, but can use VERY sparingly

    Digital brush mark Traditional
    Intent intent
    Hand of maker
    Pixel brushmark
    style individuality, voice/
    personality, approach
    work is different work is different

    7 stages of creativity:
    idea
    investigation/gathering
    saturation
    miller time/gestation
    WOW, new ideas
    make the darn thing
    Donezo/critique

    bring in piece next week, preferably tuesday to get some in class critique early.

  3. CHAIR IS CHAIR
    -the word chair, or an image of a chair, are both abstractions of the theme "chair" to differing degrees.

    Issues being non-linear -> be imaginative, PLAY


    Painting vs. Picture
    -Break the wall between representation and preception
    -how can you let your "brush strokes" show in digital media?
    -Pixel = Mark, intention, style (personality, voice, individuality, approach)

    How you play with the literal and use your imagination

    7 Stages of creativity
    idea
    research/investigation
    saturation
    miller time
    eureaka
    making

    Abstraction- drawing of a chair compared to “chair” the word

    7 stages of creative process
    *idea, question problem
    *investigation gathering
    *saturation, doing more gathering so that you have a lot
    *miller time- gestation- let idea settle and think about it
    *!!!! WOW ah ha Moment !!!!!
    *Making
    *Finished work critique

    abstraction of visual and audio combine to make a great piece

    difference between painting and picture is brush strokes
    that is the painters mark
    digital mark – intention, idea, pixel?, Style
    Style is – individuality
    - personality
    - approach
    - the work is different
    - imagination
    - creativity
    Get an idea mid way through do you go with it or plow on through

    Where is most creativity
    Idea - - process - - end
