This work by Martina Lopez demonstrates a woman standing on what looks to be a beach with several other people in the background and birds flying through the air. The whole image has an antique black and white finish, making the image seem very old.

This image tells me that the artist enjoys the simple things in life, and does not overly rely on technology like many of us do today. The figures in the background  make the main figure seem isolated, alone. Perhaps this is how the artist sometimes feels. 

I like this work because of her use of color effects to make the image appear old, vintage. Based on my interpretation about the artist, it would be ironic for her to use a computer and digital imaging to create this image instead of more traditional means. I think this is interesting however, as it leaves no true answer, only to be left open to interpretation.

This image simply appears to be a man with an extra ear on the right side of his face. The look on his face seems to express no emotion .

I think this work can suggest many different things about the artist. It seems as though he seems unbalanced or out of place. At the same time, the man in the image would have superior hearing ability then the rest of the human race. Maybe the artist is trying to say that different is not always bad and can good sometimes. 

I like the whole idea of this picture. There's no one meaning anyone could take from it, but to me it reminds me of the judgemental nature of people.

This piece uses many bent lines and sweeping colors. The picture gives the viewer the feeling that the image is moving, maybe towards something significant. 

There is no true identity in this piece, as it does not display a face or body. However, I think this work of art says something about the artist. The use of color and line and the way the forms are defined makes this piece seem alive, almost as if it was an experience the artist had. 

I like it, again because of the sweeping color, lines, and strangely defined forms. The piece raises many questions about its true nature that admire in the work.

Day 1, Blog #1

I am studying to be an artist so that I can create my own unique style of art that reflects who I am and what I believe in. Art is a way for me to express and share my interests with others in my own creative way. As of now, I am very interested in the modeling and animation aspect of digital arts. The classes I took in high school introduced me to the digital arts and its endless possibilities. My fascination with computer technology combined with my creative thinking make the digital arts a perfect field for me. By the end of this semester, I hope to have learned to effectively use modeling, animation, and photoshop software to be able to produce computer art that is consistent with the ideas in my head. I hope I am able to use these programs on my own without needing guidance from others.
