Idea behind (skid_concept)

By definition...

Main Entry: 1skid
Pronunciation: \skid\
Function: noun, verb
Etymology: perhaps of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse skīth "stick of wood"
Date: circa 1610

1: one of a group of objects (as planks or logs) used to support or elevate a structure or object
2: to apply a brake or skid to : slow or halt by a skid

I could take a couple of different perspectives on this idea. One being, my ideas are used to support and progess something towards bettering itself. Two, I apply a break to myself. Acting without or before thinking only brings unecessary complexity and consequences. Or it could just be a simple play on my name...

Insight.

I'm a moderately expressed extrovert, who thinks outloud. I like to expand upon my emotions. I'm fatigued by a lack of stimulation. I live life to understand it. I am an idealist. A conceptualist. I match my artistic style to French Art Nuveau. I share an afinity for flat dynamic silhouettes, with subtle accents. I have a love for drawing. I never start a project without fully sketching out my ideas.

I visualize the completed elements as awhole through use of my imagination. Before whn I studied architecture I didall of my drawings by hand. It is said that there are some thigns a computer cando better than the hand. I believe it is the other way around. Hand drawings are beautiful and bring line to life. A new element is added to the picture, human vulnerability in making mistakes.

February 25th: Class Commentary

Regarding my project. I felt like I didn't get my point about my project across. I felt rushed with it. Even though I had continually worked on this project for a couple of weeks. I wish I could have shotthe video. It would have tied everything together more. Now that I look back at the project...I feel that the mechanized head would have been enough alone. And it would have been really cool to make the piece light up with the "idea" bulb. I think I may do the video for this next project. Just make it a continuation. I'll have more time to shoot everything and plan it out. I have a big heart. I am guided by my feelings alot. And love is one of those feelings that really affects me. It consumes me. I have a deep passion for those people I love and those that I have loved. And it clouds my head. I think that is one reason my mind is constantly ticking. It is a constant struggle. I'm not thinking about shcoolwork all the time. And when I'm not thinking about schoolwork, I'm fighting through that cloudyness created by my feelings, my emotions. I'm trying to find clarity. The light of day. That is why I titled the piece Mechanized Thought governed by a Heart of Gold. It will be interesting to see what my next phase of this project is.
