  SAWYER'S TYPING... This week we went over the elements and principles of design. Having taken multiple art classes in the past, I'm pretty familiar with them. Though, It was nice to go over everything again and to have a refresher. The project for this week was another video done in Adobe Express. This one was more about editing photos as well as continuing to work on creating video presentations. I chose to edit pictures of my snake. I thought I'd keep it on theme with the previous project and who knows, perhaps Sev will be a recurring guest in my projects. I've been really enjoying this art class so far, it's nice to have projects that are interactive. Most of the classes I've taken have usually been centered around discussion posts or essays. Which is fine and I usually manage to get them done even if I find them to be a little difficult. Having a class that has seemingly weekly interactive assignments where I get to create something, even if it's just ...

  SAWYER'S TYPING... This week we mostly learned about copyright laws as well as fair use laws. As someone who struggles with coming up with original concepts and ideas when it comes to most forms of art, I found this week's lessons to be pretty valuable. With artistic concepts, ideas, and inspiration I typically turn to social media or other platforms to find things to create from or to take inspiration from. I've never claimed that anything I've made that has been a direct inspiration from others to be my own but I feel like I understand the concept of fair use and transformative work a bit more. I also understand the value of credit when it comes to inspiration especially if I were to be posting the things I make online or in other forms. I also think that taking inspiration or creating a "copy" of others' work can directly benefit a learning artist. The best way to learn, in my opinion, is to copy from people you already admire. learning different tech...
