DAT PIC!

  ABOVE ALL, THIS PICTURE IS THE POSTER FROM  STUSSY  SPRING COLLECTION 2022.     LINGUISTIC MESSAGE: AS WE CAN SEE THERE IS A LOGO AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, WHICH IS A S T U S S Y IN THE STUSSY GRAFFITI FONT. IT MAKES THE AUDIENCE KNOW THAT THIS POSTER IS FROM STUSSY.       LITERAL MESSAGES :          SOME BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE: THIS BRAND IS FOUNDED BY SHAWN STÜSSY, A SURFER WHO USED TO SHAPE HIS OWN BOARDS FOR FRIENDS AND LOCALS IN LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA. STÜSSY BEGAN SCREENING T-SHIRTS AND SHORTS TO SELL ALONG WITH THE SURFBOARDS AS A FORM OF PROMOTION; HIS SURNAME WRITTEN IN A GRAFFITI-INFLUENCED HAND STYLE WAS TO BECOME THE COMPANY LOGO.   IN THIS POSTER, THERE IS A COASTLINE EXTENDED FROM THE BACKGROUND TO THE FOREGROUND WHICH REPRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF STUSSY: SURFING.

PROJECT UPDATE #1

 YOYOYO GUYS!  I HAVE ALREADY GOT 100 PICTURES READY FOR MY PROJECT AND SHARED THEM WITH JOHNNY IN MY INDEPENDENT STUDY. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT SORTED THEM OFF INTO THE ALBUMS ON FLICKERS. I WILL DO THAT ONCE I GET ALL OF THEM AT THE END OF THIS TERM. SOME OF THOSE PICTURES ARE GOING TO BE IN SOME ALBUMS THAT ARE ALREADY BEING CREATED, BUT I ADDED ON SOME NEW ALBUMS.  LET’S SEE SOME OF THE NEW ONES.    ALBUM #1: LANDSCAPE IT IS SO RARE TO SEE SOME FANCY SPOTS AROUND IN APPLETON, A RURAL PLACE, SO THE BEAUTY OF NATURE WOULD BE THE MOST SUITABLE THING TO TAKE PICTURES WITH. IN THIS ALBUM, SKY, TREES, SUNSET, AND SUNRISE ARE MY MAIN CHARACTERS. I DO ENJOY A LOT WHEN I AM SEEKING A GREAT TIME AND SPOT TAKING PICTURES OF THE SKY; STARING AT THE SKY SEE THE MOVEMENT OF THE CLOUD REALLY CALMS ME DOWN. AND THE LOVELY SUNSET MAKES ME TAKE SOME COOL PICTURES.    ALBUM #2: DAT MONKEY  I CONSIDER MYSELF AS A BIG MONKEY. BASED ON THE REVOLUTION THEORY, HUMAN BEINGS COME FROM MONKEYS. AND I AM ONE OF T

PROJECT PROPOSAL

            FOR THE ADVANCED NEW MEDIA IN ART SPRING TERM 2023, I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PEOPLE MY AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE TO APPRECIATE THIS WORLD THROUGH THE LENS OF MY IPHONE. ALL MY WORK IN THIS 10-WEEK PERIOD WILL BE UPLOADED ON THE FLICKER FINALLY; AND I WILL SORT THEM OFF INTO 10 ALBUMS, WHICH MEANS 1 ALBUM PER WEEK. IN EACH ALBUM, THERE SHOULD BE AROUND 5-10 PHOTOGRAPHS. ALSO, I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE A BIG THICK PHOTO BOOK THROUGH THE BOOKWRIGHT WITH THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT I TOOK THIS TERM. THE BOOK SHOULD BE AROUND 50-80 PAGES, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON  HOW MANY PHOTOS I AM SATISFIED WITH. BUT THE PAGE NUMBERS WILL BE AROUND THAT AMOUNT. FOR THE REFERENCE ARTIST, I WOULD SAY THERE IS NO ONE THAT I AM MIMICKING, LIKE I SAID I AM PROVIDING PEOPLE MY PERSPECTIVE IN MY WAY IN MY STYLE. BUT IF I NEED TO SAY ONE, THAT MAY BE ANDY WARHOL SINCE I ENJOYED HIS PHOTOGRAPHY A LOT IN THE PAST AND HAVE SEEN TONS OF HIS WORK BEFORE, MAYBE YOU WILL FIND SOME SIMILARITIES BETWEEN MY WORK AND HIS
