Artist Statement: La Bella Confusione 5/26/11

As an artist I am discovering what drives me is love and happiness. Whether it is my own joy or someone else. I have found my eyes gain pleasure in other peoples happy experiences. I attain joy in learning, and my art of still photography will allow me to teach. In taking this media class I have become more aware of my ability to see, think, and live in portraits or pictures; subtle descriptions paint a masterpiece in my mind. My art will allow me to live these mental pictures that make up my thoughts. I find that pictures describe my emotion to the most accurate assessment. I feel many emotions at one time. However, I always pride myself on seeing the bright side, being positive, and sending like energy to others and throughout my life.

I want my art of combining pictures into a whole (editing films and photography) to describe a feeling, idea, thought, or experience that makes one joyous. I intend for people to be able to grasp the feeling instantly and be able to immediate feel the emotion; by just seeing it and understanding, relating, feeling and experiencing it the positive way I intend. I want my future work to clarify La Bella Confusione that is my mind. I want love, harmony, happiness and peace. I still believe the children are the future. However, in learning media I’ve found that it is best to find my path before I can guide others. I also believe that the best way to reach the children is by understanding what lay before them; which I am in the prime position to grasp as an ‘adult’ as well as relate to the children in a manner they can fully comprehend. I intend to further my work in compiling needed information to live life to the fullest and expressing them through my art.

LAB CLASS THOUGHTS

I enjoyed the lab class very much! It allowed me to experience software programs that I wouldn't normally have access to explore. Cassie was very helpful and patient in dealing with first-time users. The Media class should have lab as the main course and lecture as a supplement. I learned more hands-on in lab then in listening to the professor read off a powerpoint in lecture. Overall the experience was enjoyable.

THANK YOU CASSIE!!!!
