Project #1 --Social Parody and Media Critique
Completed, Critique held on Tuesday, April 21, 09.

_______________________________________________________________

I am learning lots of new stuff! from instructor Ryan, other students, tutorials, & from just doing. Also, the critique provided the new experience of presenting a large screen presentation of my work, something I was nervous about for a variety of reasons, but everything went well. I enjoyed seeing other people's work, much of it insightful, all of it interesting. I am truly enjoying this class! So here are my first 2 compositions:

First Composition: The O.S.U. Oval w/ Sheep.
Classy title, don't you think?















Second Composition: Stargate w/ Sheep




















Project #1: Social Parody and Media Critique Because digital imaging is used in the production of media and advertising, it is particularly well suited for artistic critiques, parody, or satire of these arenas. Using found image files from the Internet along with your own images, create two (2) “untrue” images. These images should not look fake. You may use text, such as captions, to support the fakery. The images may function as a commentary or critique of a social issue. The images may relate as a series or address separate ideas.
