Appropriation

Due March 26 the Monday after spring break.

PS:CS3

I'll just copy what I wrote in my blog to here, because I think everyone should know about the CS3 beta.

Photoshop CS 3 is available for dowload. It is in Beta at the moment but will be out this spring. I just downloaded the 2 day beta (which can be cracked easily so you can keep if for good, suprise suprise), and I havn't gotten further than opening a raw image and.... oh man. Talk about refinements. I am capable of making my shot just about perfect now before even entering photoshop.

Using the dialague box above you have increadible control of the tones in your shot.

Besides the Adobe Camera Raw 4.0 there is also a revised bridge, which is dark grey and very intuitive, it looks more customizable as well. I have noticed a new selection tool, and a "black and white" tab in the Image > Adjustments or Layer > New adjustment Layer paths. I'm sure there is much more.

Considering this program will be our next 5 years or so, I suggest we all get to learning it as fast as possible. Proficient is a great thing to be early when it comes to Photoshop. Go get the beta folks!

Appropriation

The next assignment is to appropriate and recontextualize images. The link is to a short article about appropriation and Sherrie Levine, an artist who I will show in the next lecture.

The terms appropriate and recontextualize help to define Postmodernism in an art context.

Crit Monday March 26th.
