Powers of Ten

This is a film suggested by Andy. And it is do make effect. I understand the way to develop my work.

Powers of Ten is a 1977 short documentary film written and directed by Charles Eames and his wife, Ray. The film depicts the relative scale of the Universe in factors of ten.

The film begins with an aerial image of a man reclining on a blanket; the view is that of one meter across. The viewpoint, accompanied by expository voice over by Philip Morrison, then slowly zooms out to a view ten meters across ( or 101 m in standard form), revealing that the man is picnicking in a park with a female companion. The zoom-out continues, to a view of 100 meters (10² m), then 1 kilometre (10³ m), and so on, increasing the perspective—the picnic is revealed to be taking place near Soldier Field on Chicago's lakefront—and continuing to zoom out to a field of view of 1024 meters, or the size of the observable universe. The camera then zooms back in to the picnic, and then to views of negative powers of ten—10-1 m (10 centimeters), and so forth, until we are viewing a carbon nucleus inside the man's hand at a range of 10-18 meter.

cynthia beth rubin's painting lecture

Today, cynthia beth rubin did her lecture. I do influenced a lot. The animation 'français' is my favorite one which you can see on her website. Maybe animation is the language i am more keen on and can feel much more in common.

When she showed her work piece by piece. I can feel the progress she had passed. That is really a value experience. Computer & photoshop for her is the pen to draw her painting and won't limit her creativity.

When my studied computer design in China. Photoshop for me is only the technical tools. I never thought the work did by photoshop can be an art work. Beacuse that is only a tool to me. However, when i listen to her lecture, i saw her work and the progress of doing one piece of work. I really expressed her way of doing the work. She put many her ideas into her work, then the image become very sepcific one only can made by her.

I think maybe that is the difference between BA and MA. Art for the artist is something will follow all of our life.

Thanks for her lecture. ^^

Reflection of Tutrial

I did the tutrial for Unit 3 with Andy. This tutrial is really helpful. He suggested to keep what i already have and develop more details. Andy also mentioned a film '10 * 10', which shows 10 times zoom in and 10 times zoom out.

I got the clue to develop my work. and i feel that is can be very interesting.
