I went back home to visit a friend, this is what happened.
Project: The March of Control
I was tasked to come up with an idea for a Final art piece for my final drawing class, this is the video game inspired project that I came up with.
The work was inspired from the original work The March of Progress, 1965 by Rudolph Zallinger that was published in the book Early Man, 1965, that depicted an ape slowly evolving into a human.

I decided to take the concept and apply it onto something that has evolved, not only visibly, but also in a single person’s lifetime. I wanted to represent a generation of technology and specifically the digital gaming revolution, so who better than Nintendo? Nintendo is a gaming company that has survived through a major chunk of gaming history and they have always been on the forefront of new ways to interact with games.

Redesign: Sterling Archer
For my Term 3 Interactive Design Final Project I created a website from scratch while going through the proper planning & designing process.
For this project we could pick to create a website for either an event or a tv show, within these choices we could pick something that already exists and change it or come up with a completely new idea. So I picked one of my favourite animated series “Archer” on the FX network and changed the name to Sterling.

Mario is a little confused about where he is and all he wants to do is go home.
Everything is made by hand then edited in After Effects for a project at Vancouver Film School (VFS)

Well after showing off my Art & Creativity Final, I thought I really should share the rest of my classmates work. So here it is, I did my best to remember the titles of each work and I did some quick desaturating in the images so anything that wasn’t part of the art work or artist isn’t in colour, for easier viewing.
Make sure to comment! Especially if you have questions!
ENJOY!
Community is Safe, Meme’s travel Fast
First off I would like to take a moment to say, YEAH YEAH COMMUNITY IS BACK BABAY!! As I was saying Community, the NBC show that went on hiatus, is back on the air Thursday nights starting on March 15th and for the fans it really means a great deal. “What you call 8:00, we call home. Community returns to Thursday nights on March 15th.” - Dan Harmon @danharmon
So that’s awesome news, in strange news, The Teen from College Freshman meme (See Sample meme ,via Quickmeme) has appeared in the paper, but this time, as a senior.
Once the picture (Left) hit Reddit, almost immediately after, a new meme had started. (Bottom,via Quickmeme) This all happened 5 hours ago…
Giant Pepsi Can & Gang Violence
Well another term has come and gone, with it a fair share of projects too, so over the next couple of posts I’m going to share my projects. I’ll start with my Art & Creativity final, simply because, it started it failure and warped its way into a success.
My Art & Creativity term 3 final, first I should explain the assignment, which is best done on the schools student resource website, so, quote it is:
“The work must creatively interpret and articulate defining characteristics from
one of the following areas of study this term in both FORM & CONTENT:
Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, Surrealism, Pop Art, Conceptual Art and Post-Modern Art.”
So for my project I decided to go after the movements I really thought we’re interesting and yet also ridiculous. This train of thought lead me to Dada and Pop Art, I chose Dada because I was interested by the artists idea of challenging; what art is, what people accept as art, who makes the rules and where we draw the line. I chose Pop Art because I love the idea of using ready-made objects, disposable objects and iconic imagery that everyone can connect with.That’s when I realised that the assignment was to accurately display knowledge of a single movement, through process and content, so through the combination of the two movements my piece became post-modern. To the right is an example of a famous Dada work, click it for more information. [image via Artlex]

One of my classmates made a video, now I watched it and well if you have ever watched the show Workaholics you will completely understand why it is amazing.
Now for those of you that haven’t seen Workaholics, you really should watch the show. (Then you can be cool and know why this video is funny/awesome)
