Project 3: Consumption

I ran in to a lot of problems with this project. I know nothing about photography or filmmaking so deciding to do a stop motion animation was a stretch for me. Everything went pretty smoothly up until the time for editing. I didn't have enough disk space to upload all the pictures to finish the movie, and the admin wouldn't give me anymore, so I had to cut a good portion of the movie out. This is what I could salvage! The piece is based on something that is so time consuming that it's unhealthy.

keep forgetting to post my notes! spring break feverrr.

i have no idea what i want to do for my consumption project. i've been thinking of the spell ikea has put on consumers in the area and considering the effects of that. i've also spent a lot of time watching people eat and thinking of how gross it could get. maybe potential ideas!

posting other notes later tonight after work.

Thomas Kinkade P. 18

1. What is Kinkade's ultimate goal for his work?
Does he mainly focus on landscapes or does he dabble with other subject matter?

2. I feel like Kinkade is very egocentric concerning his work. His work is very widespread, and has made him quite wealthy, but when reading his comments I get the feeling he is overly proud and cocky about his success.

3. He wants to bring art in to common households in order to preserve a sort of country home aesthetic. He wants it to be as widespread as possible.
From what i read his work is mostly landscapes and images of homes, very family friendly work.
