live trace practice

Image trace is a tool to manipulate images and import a raster image saved in another graphics program and trace over it. The easiest way to trace artwork is to open or place a file in Illustrator, and automatically trace the artwork using the Image Trace command. Several tracing presets provide prespecified tracing options for specific types of artwork.

sculptures by the sea

The sculpture represents a human looking back on his past and the colours have good contrast.

I would crop into the air and make it straight for the background so it makes it look nice and costal logo.

Chris Nimmo Assessment Task Reflection

Chris Nimmo

Assessment task Reflection

My original Fable was the grasshopper and then ant. The fable concerns a grasshopper that has spent the summer singing while the ant worked to store up food for winter. I choose this fable because it spoke to me in a way that no other fable did. My recreation of this fable was of two birds. One of the birds builds his nest and the other just sits there saying he's an idiot for starting so early. After the one bird has built his nest he says to the other one where's your nest. The second bird learned his lesson by procrastinating and making fun of others because he doesn't want to do the job. I realise that my assessment is not the best and here are some things that I could've fixed to make my assessment better and prepare better. First of all my preparation should’ve been better and more thought out which of made my picture taking easier and faster. Second of all my first idea was not very well thought out because I went out and just started without thinking about the minute details making my efficiency a whole lot less. Third of all my final assessment was not the best of my work, My pictures were moving all over the place making my final video shaky I could have easily fixed that by blue taking the box to the desk but I just skim past that detail. My work ethic was not the best if could've of been an if I put my best in I would have got a lot better result.

stop motion animation

Stop motion is a type of animation that is captured one frame at a time with physical objects moved between frames. When you play it back it creates an illusion of movement

my fable

ant and the grass hopper

IN a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
“Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in that way?”
“I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and recommend you to do the same.”
“Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; “we have got plenty of food at present.” But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:          “IT IS BEST TO PREPARE FOR THE DAYS OF NECESSITY.”

Modern day

One bird has built a nest way before the chicks are even in eggs and the other bird makes fun of him. The bird that makes fun of him,  cannot have chicks because he did not make his nest in time.

photo reflection

are my photos interesting?
Yes because they have interesting subjects that make the photo better
do they show a collection objects?
Yes always because with more objects the photo becomes more interesting
Have I experimented enough with light
Yes but there is always room for more experimentation for example only one of my shots used a reflector. I have used a diffuser on the glass photos
do they reference the work of olive cotton?
I think so because they have a repetitive pattern and the shadows and not just nonsense but actually add to the photo
