Renee's Art Progression

 One of the projects I would like to do is some sort of animation. I would like to tie this in with my Advanced Drawing class assignment since I plan on doing a somewhat animation for that. I would be starting these projects around the same time but ending the Advanced Drawing project earlier than this final project, so instead of dropping it, I can continue it in this class. I would draw out 3 seconds worth of animation on the sketchpads provided for us from that class, and then continue the animation on a software. I don't think I will actually get through a whole song, but I anticipate at least getting a part of a song animated. Some songs on my mind are the bridge + ending for Taylor Swift's Now That We Don't Talk , the chorus for Marina and the Diamond's Froot , or some part of an Olivia Rodrigo song (not sure which song of hers).  Another project I had in mind was combining 2D and 3D things in a photo. I would take multiple pictures of random activities or exchang

      Over the start of the installation preparations to executing the project, half of that time was spent deciding what theme I wanted to do. I had plans for how to execute both Installations and guaranteed participation from people I've asked to be involved with. What came down to the final decision, though, was asking my participants what they wanted to do since I knew I wouldn't be able to decide on my own. What they chose was Overcooked! - a videogame where players come together to cook food and serve the food in a timely manner. In sticking with this theme, I wanted this to be a surface-level and easy-going installation as a reflection of the game being simple.      My plans for this installation was to get people together and have them play the game and recreate some actions that one would do when playing this game. So first, I laid out my expectations on their part when participating in this installation. Like I said, I wanted this to be something anyone can do, so all

   Image: Superflex The artist I've chosen to research is Superflex. I chose to explore their work "Flooded McDonald's" because I wanted to research a superficial/unserious exhibition. At first glance, I was sure that a piece about McDonald's would be a simple "curiosity got the best of me" reasoning for this piece - maybe even a comedic aspect. However, upon further research, I found that this piece was NOT superficial but rather a take on consumerism and climate change through the use of an iconic character. Despite this piece alluding to a bigger concept, it was still fun to research as this piece was an acknowledgement piece rather than an interpretive piece. Superflex is a group of 3 people - Rasmus Rosengren Nielson, Jakob Fenger, and Bjornstrjerne Christiansen - who found that they really work well together and ended up creating their company together. They have been with each other since 1993 and are still around til this day -  a whopping 31 yea
