assignment 5 perliminary image
I utilized two of my own old photographs and I am piecing them together to create a whole new idea about the mimes/clowns. It is meant to show a whole new realm of what a mime means today in our society. The shear idea of clowns is usually to entertain whereas these individuals are oblivious to it and bored. The clown is made up of paper to show the pure fact that it is an old idea and no longer holds our interest instead our documents are kept digitally. I plan to incorporate a cellphone into the middle guys hand to also show that the father is neglectful of not only his son's boredom but the idea of escaping reality. The background is starting to bubble at the back because it is meant to look like a backdrop as if the clown is trying to find another place to go to get some laughs.

assignment 3
The
Images that I created deal greatly with politics not only because this lesson
and medium expresses politics so well but also because a lot of my personal
life deals a lot with American federal laws and constructs. What initially
started off with me thinking about the fact that I am struggling with the
pressure of being a single parent turned into going further. I dug deeper into
politics to really understand my struggles. The first is financial hardship due
to educational loan debit, medical debit, credit card debit, etc. I have not
been able to hold a job due to the very fact that I have had tons of health
issues such as cancer and seizures.
Both
images relate back to the medical system which is controlled by the government explaining
how it has failed to help those with multiple health conditions especially
during the worst times. In both images I show Obama sense it is a big
discussion of his policy of Obamacare. Sense he has been in office more people
have been jobless and forced to still get health insurance. This is very
significant for me because in the state of Florida those that even have no
income can’t get on Medicaid unless they
have a child in the household. My son was withheld from me due to divorce
technicalities up until a couple of months ago causing me not to be able to
even obtain medical which of course caused me medical debit due to my
conditions.
When
choosing the other images I made sure to be very selective on them as to avoid cliche’s. Lego
bricks are used in the first image to explain how we the people have become
powerless unable to move because someone else controls the placement of the
bricks also known as what we are able to do. The other image has chains because
we are forced to obey because if we do not want to go hungry we better listen.
Then there are references to Obama’s
role in office which seems to fit a socialist or communist approach. Then there
is references to medical by the sheep which represent Dolly and her clone;
though this cloning was not done during Obama’s time as president it explains how Obama has
some hidden reasons to taking over the medical system. The robot in the first
image stares at the word disaster explaining that we better wake up because
there is more coming because science is backing the medical system. Technological
machines and soon robots are replacing the need for workers forcing people to
obey becoming just a number. This number is then explained further in the
second image with the barcode as if we are being sold or buying into the bribing
the government does to us and also shows a dollar with a stamp saying not to be
used to bribe politicians. So it shows the double standard that government is
allowed or being allowed to bribe us but we are not allowed to do the same to
the government.

Assignment 1
Scanned image of myself jpeg
I am constantly comparing my features to what my son looks like it is amazing to see how much he looks like me and how we change as we age.
Image saved off of Google Earth jpeg I am always using Google Earth I find it very interesting to see how often they update their imagery. This is of my house and I can tell it is very outdated because those bushes are no longer there anymore we have flowers and the house next door has much more plants.
My inspiration screenshot png taken from my pinterest decoration board. I am always trying to find great ways to be artistic while still being able to make money as well.
Webcam jpeg image snapped to show me in my bedroom with my boyfriend, drawn and in the photographs behind me, one of my drawings of him is on the wall as well, and his son is in images as well along with my schedule of things I have to do on the dry erase board.
My son (before having his haircut) and I taken with my smartphone it is also a jpeg image. Family is always very important to me and due to money reasons I have to cut my son's hair myself this is a monthly thing. My son loves getting his haircut so it is a bonding moment for us.
My son (after haircut) and I taken with my smartphone jpeg image. My son is picking at his tooth because he got a piece of candy like he would if he went to an actual barber shop.
