Week 2: Text effect

Throughout this week, text art was the main focus. I learnt what program enabled us to create text art and the different ways text art could be used. I found this week a little challenging because it was new to me. I learnt that text art could be used is a range of ways to really implement a message to the viewers of the art work. I found that there was also a lot of advantages when using text art. It helps bring about meaning throughout a art.

Looking at text art gave me ideas for my own art. I was thinking about taking photos then changing them and adding text art. Such as faces that can incorporate a range of different art medias. I was also thinking about everyday ideas that are photographed with simple messaging. This could also lead to thoughts being conveyed throughout my art work. Using newspapers to get ideas of quotes or simple statements that express a particular view. Using simple images may also make text art such as a fork and incorporating a statement about food. I was thinking about using animals to create text art. Using messages to advocate to people different viewpoints on a particular artwork. Also creating patterns with using letters such as the Big M from Maccas and conveying a message about the art work.

This week really opened my eyes to a different way of making art. Some of the artists and ideas really showed a clever way of creating artwork. Overall in was a insightful class with a lot that was learnt and inspiration that could be taken away and used.
