This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The left side has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Didn't realize you were secure enough to post naked photos of yourself on the internet, but still insecure enough to delete constructive criticism and advice.
also as for you comment about learning to photoshop. Thats what my college graphic design classes are for. Most of the material you seen through out the whole gallery, if you had looked, were things I was playing around to see what I can do with the softwere. I am still learning about photoshop and will continue to learn. Especially when the photoshop I have is an updated CS2 and has a lot of features I dont know about yet.
Well alot of the comments I had I felt were rude. There wasnt just constructive criticism, some comments were personal attacks, and they were rude. Besides why would you care anyway? You don't know me. I can take constructive criticism, I just dont take rudeness. Some people were swearing at me and that is not right. I actually appreciate some of the criticism but I dont think anybody understands that I am just exploring different ideas and different ways of expressing myself. I realized posting nudes of myself to get a certain message across about women and the media is not the best way to show my artistic side. I think I am just going to stick to photography instead of photoshoping because that is what I am good at. Anway I got raided and I deleated everything. So could you guys please stop visiting this place and stop leaving comments such as yours because I learned something from this and I don't think it is right to keep adding on and keep on harassing me about every little mistake I made. I am only human afterall. You are human too aren't you? I admitted I was/am wrong about some things I said and I dont understand Why I keep getting comments when everything is deleated. So please leave me alone and that message goes out to people who want to keep posting comments. Because its over and done with, I know how people feel about what I did, I don't need anymore of it.
I'm a full time student at SAIC. I don't think I should have to clarify what SAIC is, though just in case you are not familiar with it- it's the school of the art institute of chicago. The primer conceptual art school in the world. I'm majoring in fine art, as well as critique.
The reason I am telling you this is because so you are aware that I have an extensive knowledge of contemporary conceptual art, not just in past work, but work being created today by the future of conceptual artists.
What you need to understand with your work, is that when you take an image, of anything, the image will carry a breadth of ideas and meanings.
A painting of a phallic looking building may carry the idea of "man's triumph over nature", or perhaps "the masculinity of buisness and power", or more, or all, or none. The title of the work, in this sense may also help give more direction.
However, when you take an image, ESPECIALLY one that is sexually, politically, or philosophically charged, and add a caption onto it that specifies exactly what the meaning it, it becomes FAR too literally- it tears down all the walls of conception, and imagination- and you are left with a simple declarative sentence.
In a sense, it's the literary equivalent of taking the lush volumes of the Iliad and Odysee and sparknoting it into a one page, direct summary.
Uninteresting, loses it's meaning.
The brunt of your works does just that- by taking images and slapping on declarative text it becomes a one line sentence that does not provoke my mind to think about the concept, the piece, or even take you seriously as an artist.
If all the great artists you mentioned wrote on their work the exact meaning, to the dot, no other translations accepted, their work would simply be stacked in their basement or attic some where.
YOU NEED TO BREAK OUT.
If you want to be literal all the time then conceptual art is simply not for you, formal art can have ideas, but formal art expresses them in the way you have been doing- with simple ideas expressed obviously.
Also, the quality and the medium of the work needs much improvement. Taking digital art classes isn't going to teach you not to be lazy when cropping out images.
Also, be careful when dealing with digital images, because they carry separate charged ideas and meanings that will carry over into your work whether you choose to or not. Your medium should express your conception. If you're talking about the MEDIA, why did you not make a VIDEO piece, or a piece printed out in what looks like an ad for a magazine?
Break out, work in other mediums that will express your ideas, keep researching conceptual art, goto museums and galleries, keep a sketch book.
I truly hope you are able to take from this comment! Good luck!
Reguardless who the photographer was doesn't matter because the work is yours. It will be read as yours, and while if you chose to make note of the process then the work would have other connotations that don't related to the peice.
The process is equally as important as the final work. Always!
Art is a media, but it's not "The media". Different connotations. I also highly refute that "everything will be digital, including art." While the range of technology increases, and allows for new TYPES of art, the traditional mediums will always exists, regardless of expansion of new technologies.
Black is a representational color, just like all colors. Having a black background gives the piece different aesthetic and conceptual meanings regardless of intent.
I'm familiar with Barney, but he does a wide range of sculpture, video, drawing, performance. These (with a somewhat different case on video) are all traditional works. He expresses a great deal using mediums that progress his peice. If all of his drawings were digitally done they would not carry nearly the same weight. Barney also expresses many ideas and is not limited to the internet taking over.
Poetry work with photography added. When writing poetry make sure you ask yourself what separates poetry from pose and go from there. It's not only rhyme.
Check out some of the works by Lawrence Wiener. Your local library will probably have some work by him.
Keep working and learning, good luck. One thing I strongly recommend you reading is Art Theory: A historical introduction. It's a required reading at SAIC and I believe you could benefit alot from it. Good luck!
