In today's class we looked at some Digital Art websites, in particular looking at Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer. There are was very political and eye catching and large.
After looking at images we were asked to brain storm some ideas and write them down. Firstly I thought of the colour's of the rainbow, in a spiral with the words getting larger as the spiral gets bigger. Then I was coming up with emotive words like love, passion, power, integrity, all words that mean so much by themselves. the other idea I have was a simple flower with 5 petals and writing all the different types of flowers inside the flower.
After our brainstorm Jenna showed us how to use Adobe Illustrator CS4. This program was very tricky and complicated. You understand how to do something one time but by the time you go to do it again you have forgotten and being on an Apple Mac computer it is more difficult for me because I love PCs. I have written notes to myself as to how the program words but it will be hard because I don't have this program at home.
At the end of class Jenna showed us how to burn our work onto a CD. I bought a USB down so I just used that but its nice to know that you can burn more than one time on a DVD/CD.
I did like some on the work that was posted on the Digital Art blog made by Jenna. The website for these images are as follows:

each image gives me an idea of what I could possible achieve in my own artwork.
