This scene from Bald Mountain in the movie Fanstasia (1940) is an example of a traditional animation style. In particular, I believe the traditional style used was the cell-animation process in which animator's drawings were traced or copied onto acetate sheets called cels. Once colors and tones were arranged, these were photographed in order to complete one frame.

This is an example of Stop Motion animation using beautifully carved styrofoam and long exposure lighting. The work entitled Marilyn Myller is about a struggling artist trying to create profound works, when really her perception of what is profound does not match up with the general consensus.

Artist: Kimsooja
Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 5, Systems

After watching her Art21 video, I chose an artist from Systems by the name of Kimsooja. Her work, multifaceted in various media forms, explores the idea of personal exploration itself, transcendence through the most simple day to day tasks, as well as aesthetic influences. The meanings in her work can be derived from many different dimensions of thought. For example, her works with "bottari", a Korean cover used in bedding and to bundle personal belongings in nomadic sects, gives us a view of the physical, cultural, and psychological derivatives that come from the use of this bundled cover.

Another particularly striking work of hers is known as "Needle Woman". Within this body of work, Kimsooja becomes not just a face in the crowds of different populous areas, but she is her own void within a space teeming with life and energy. The overwhelming feelings she describes of absorbing the surrounding energy is something I feel I can relate to on a personal level. Needle woman takes the focus off of her as an individual woman and places it on her transcendent state of being as she becomes the void in a crowd full of passersby. 

I have chosen Erik Johansson, photographer and re-touch artist for my examples of "Creating A Lie". Erik has been featured on TED, discussing his inspiration for making the unbelievable and impossible a digital reality. Previously a student of drawing, passion was sparked at age 15 when he received his first digital camera, and Erik decided to make his  interest in drawing meet with his new found love of the photographic arts.

The idea is to bring the viewer to a pause, to cause a brief moment of doubt which would transition into an appreciation and a good bit of humor for the idea he has created. These are ideas in fact, not scenes, as each one would be impossible in reality. The photographs included as examples,  such as "A Painting Too Real" and "Swedish Air House" both delve into the realm of conceptual photography. In my opinion,  "A Painting Too Real" brings to light the idea that our favorite paintings or images, those we save space for on the walls of our homes, could have much more of a presence than just a flat image on a wall, but to bring us to a location we have yet to experience. "Swedish Air House" to me feels more whimsical, a small floating farm house in Sweden maybe full of fresh Swiss air, or just a norm we are not aware of in their native countryside. These are just a few of the many photographic works he has in his portfolio, all of which are worth taking a look at.
