Flower Chucker

This is one of Banksy's artwork that he made on a tall building. The majority of the piece is very dark. The artwork is a guy in a black hoody and has a bandana over his head. He is hiding his identity from the government who will punish him. The guy is in very little detail. He is posed like he is going to throw the object in his hand. The object in his hand is a colorful boutique of flowers. It is rich color and is in heavy details. The flowers become the center of your attention. He looks like a civilian on the streets. I think the message behind the piece is that soldiers throw bombs and grenades, while civilians throw peace and they strive for peace. Also another idea of this piece meaning is that he the flower chucker is being watched and hunted. He might die at any moment. Before he dies he wants to pass on hope of a bright future before he dies so he throws it so it can picked up by anyone who believes and that they could spread it to others.

Sorry I'm Late

I have just watched a stop motion about a guy and his journey to his home. It was done on the floor and had interesting effects of all of the places he went. The stop motion looked almost impossible for me to do because of how much work and time it will take to finish and fine tune. Overall the videos effects were amazing. I am interested to see if one of my class mates could do something like that. I am posting the video below. This video is one of the most successful stop motions I have seen.

Sing Sang Sung

I just watched the Air video about Sing Sang Sung. It is full of creativity caught my attention. I like the way it uses animation and a interesting song into one. I like how it uses body parts and other common objects in the animation and the big black ball dances past all of these in its journey. The creator was used a lot of creativity to make this video. I enjoyed how the music comes together with the animation to make a great video. This video is a prime example of creativity and inspiration.

Interesting Art

I found this art very interesting. It is a blend of colors and swirls and ends up as a whirlwind of color. Its thicker green swirl adds depth to the piece. Also the art is full of movement and power and the piece really speaks to me. I enjoy the use of the darker colors as you get farther from the center of the swirl. I think this art is a great piece of art and I hope you enjoy this work as much as I do.
