Hey guys, I will be starting at NEIA in the fall of 2008. I've seen some not so good stuff about the photography program a few places, but no real specific reasons as to why "it sucks." Anyone want to fill me in? Photo students- what do you think? Thanks!
I am student teaching for my master’s degree program with high school kids in art. I just completed a unit in Abstract Art and while I was doing that I came up with an idea. Wouldn’t it be awesome to do a painting in the span of a live show? It sounds cool but kind of hard to visualize by just saying it. So what I did was I did an entire painting in the span of the album “Western Scene” By Pale Blue Dot - Which is a kick ass band I did a web design for a while back. I sped the footage up and put it to PBD's music. Then I posted it on Youtube.
If anyone knows a live band or someone in a band show them this and ask them if they would be willing to have me paint at their show. I am in it for the art and I think this would be a great experience to have at a live show. Imagine how the divine experience of sound and the equally divine experience that is painting could come together. Let's set it up!
NEiA tends to wait til the wire to let people know if they have class or not. An hour before your class is not really enough warning, especially for people who commute.
It says: CITY OF BOSTON CLOSED TOMORROW DUE TO SNOW EMERGENCY. What does that even mean? I don't think it means anything for us though.
The Naked Eye Film Festival (put together by Tim Jackson and Ai Students)is having a special night tonight at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. (290 Harvard St | Brookline MA 02446 | 617.734.2501). We will be showing some really cool student short films along with documentaries. Along with the given, the audience will consists of filmmakers who have their movies in the fesitval as well. Lastly, we will also have a guest speaker, a digital film maker Joe Swanberg. His features include LOL (2006), Kissing on the Mouth (2005) and the upcoming Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007). He is also responsible for the Nerve.com online series Young American Bodies and has made numerous shorts, most of which are available online. His work has received a positive critical response and garnered awards at festivals. His work is defined by its improvised dialogue, preoccupation with digital communication and often graphic depictions of sex. He is also a noted proponent for Internet-based distribution for independent films.
So there you have it, the show begins at 7pm. For $5 bucks, you'll see what the student filmmakers around boston are doing (there is some really cool shorts, especially one called the 'The Hunter'. You'll be amazed at how well produced this short truly is.) as well as get a chance to speak to Joe Swanberg who is one of the biggest indie supporters. If you're in the music/film industry, this is a great opportunity to meet others who are in the same field, check out their work and get contacts within the same industry that you are in.
Location: Coolidge Corner Theatre (Coolidge Corner Theatre | 290 Harvard St | Brookline MA 02446) Time: 7PM (Please don't be late! The show starts right at 7pm!) Cost: $5 bucks. Keepin' it indie.
Classes: Abnormal Psych - Dr. John (2nd FAVORITE CLASS) English II - Yuill Digital Post Effects - Arboleda Audio for Video - Rosina Multi Camera Production - Clements (FAVORITE CLASS)
from now on, could everyone just throw ANY piece of artwork behind a lj-cut? it's great to show off your artwork, especially here, but some people don't like it being shoved in their face i suppose.
plus, not everyone views their livejournal in a private place, and hey, maybe john doe's image design class doesn't want to see your tuck at 9am on a monday morning. just a thought. :)
