I think this is amazing. It defines how complex our world of art is and how much you can do with it. You don't have to stick to one area of art, and the fact that you can mix photograph with multi media with cg and video, etc is amazing. It shows where arts is going and what our futures holds. This proves that you shouldn't feel you can't do something, when you have an idea you should go for it. This was beautiful and an amazing concept. It is inspiring and I love that media forms are so multifaceted.

1. In what ways do you “construct” your identity? In what ways do you “perform” in your daily life?
I perform daily when I meet new people, I hold back how outgoing and who I really am so that I can get a feel for the other person first and to make a neutral first impression. I also construct my identity on facebook and twitter. I put up certain pictures, say certain things, etc and that which what I choose to put up constructs a certain identity that others see me as.
2. Describe some ways in which your personal culture and social environments are “constructed”.
Our culture and social environment is constructed daily by what ads are put out and what the government say. We take these advertisements, commercials, magazines and what the newstations and governments say as a way that which are society is. Not everyone agrees with what is put out but no matter what it affects how our society works and constructs what is sold, what is bought, what people like and what they want.
3. Describe some ways in which your physical environment/space is “constructed”.
Our physical space is constructed daily by government and property owners and architects. They choose what will go in a spot or how it will be renovated which will then affect the physical space that is the conclusion of that project and what the space is that we are a part of.
4. In your daily life, what would you consider to be “real” and what would you consider to be “constructed/fabricated”?
I think what is real is what we trust and hold most close to ourselves. We do not trust what is not real and fabricated such as friends, spaces and other things. But other things such as art, we like real and also constructed, we like fabricated tv shows and movies. Things that we don't have to rely on can be fabricated.
5. Describe a narrative tableaux that you might create to be captured by a photograph. A narrative tableaux can be defined as “Several human actors play out scenes from everyday life, history, myth or the fantasy of the direction artist” ( Constructed Realities: The Art of Staged Photography Edited by Michael Kohler , 34).
This makes me think of fantasy or portraying dreams. I would want to convey the idea of someone sleeping and their dream coming to life around them. A bed in a forest with magical creatures or elves around them acting out the dream. Where it is contrasting that this girl is sleeping yet her dreams are alive. I imagine the bed being bright and the woods being darker with lights hanging from the trees to add to the fantasy.
6. Describe an idea for a photograph that includes a miniature stage or still life. A description of such an image is “The tableaux reconstructs events as in the narrative tableaux, but in miniaturized format, using dolls and other toy objects” (Kohler, 34).
When I think of this, I think of my work with legos and how I want to work more with them. I think of these tiny toys in a still life but with the stage of reality and our world compared to theirs. I think of a stage where the star wars legos are on the stove top cooking breakfast such as eggs on large, human pans.
#24 Describe your plans for your self-proposed final project (if the plan is the same as before, paste it here again and give a bit more detail). During the final critique for Assignment #5, you will discuss/present these ideas to the class.
For my final project, I want to make a stop motion film. It will be a narrative. It starts with a girl waking up in her bed and looking over to her boyfriend, she looks away to the alarm clock and looks back and he is gone, she goes about her day where she thinks her boyfriend is there but when she turns away and looks back, he is gone. This goes on the entire day while cooking breakfast, while walking to the park, at the park coming home then at the end it goes black and she jerks awake for real from her dream and realizes none of it was real and he is next to her in bed. The last part will be in real video and not stop motion to juxtapose what is the dream and reality or possibly what was reality and what is dream?!
