Video

Most of the artwork I have done has been hand drawn and I have a somewhat limited experience with digital media. I did a little work in high school, but most of my art was with drawing and painting. Since in college, I began to work more with digital programs, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Final Cut. I want to take this post to talk a little about my digital work, in particular video.

I was never really exposed to video art until I took a class in it. Most of my knowledge of video art was taken primarily from more "artistic" music videos. After becoming more involved and exposed in the world of video art. I began to realize how different the two are.

It is funny how ideas of art change as you slowly get influenced more and more by professionals. I remember thinking when I made my first video art piece, that I needed to pick out a song that would suite it. It seemed like such a necessity to have music in it. Now I think the only time I included music in any of my video works was for a music video.

One becomes much more aware of the little sounds when you make a video work. Since then I feel that I have really grown as an artist. I feel much more confident in my work. My work accomplishes what I want it to much more successfully.
