- add sound to your .gif
- create a light installation from a combination of projects
- do an assignment in illustrator (instead of Photoshop)

Virtual Portrait- revise
Great work presenting your Virtual Portraits today. Thanks for participating in the critique. It is an important part of understanding your work. Revise your projects by adding 5 new external links and integrating some of the helpful feedback you received. Go ahead and update your wdev site with the changes. Add a blog post that describes how you revised your portrait. Please make your changes by Monday.
Sketchbook Theme* for two weeks
For the next two weeks, your sketchbook entries will address the following topic.
Collect 5 net.art pieces that consider the same theme. Choose a theme that is interesting to you! For example, if you love painting then look for Internet Art that refers to painting like Manetas. If you are interested in video games, then look for artwork like Arcangel. Themes can range from Moses to Wikipedia, just don’t choose identity. Below is a short list of Internet Art exhibitions:
Net Art’s Cyborg[feminist]s, Punks and Manifestos
During this week, think about your theme. Do some initial research to make sure you can find net.art that connects. Do not include art that happens to be displayed on the internet– this should be artwork made for the internet. Read the “Neen Manifesto” for more information about the nature of Internet Art. By Monday, April 12th, write a post that describes your theme and why you chose it.
Next, make 5 sketchbook posts that link and describe your selections. Like last week’s sketchbook, you need to add an “image & link” to your blog. See last week’s post for detailed directions about what to include in each post. This should be finished by Monday, April 19th.
Opportunity for feedback- April 15th
An artist who has an exhibition at the Visual Studies Workshop will be coming to UR to meet students and talk about your work. This is a great opportunity. You can also use the time to get feedback about your Virtual Parody project. The details are below.There is an RSVP date for dinner.
Visual Studies Workshop is bringing artist Chris Baker to Rochester in April. His work “engages the rich collection of social, technological and ideological networks present in the urban landscape.”
Chris will be coming to Sage for a Visual Studies Workshop/ A&AH Dinner on Thursday April 15th from 6-9PM. Students are invited to install work in the gallery for critique. Following student critique, dinner will be served in ASIS gallery. It’s a great opportunity to meet students and faculty from Visual Studies and to talk to Chris about his work.
Please RSVP if you would like to attend the dinner to me by April 13th.
Looking forward to a night of great art at Sage,
Stephanie
Exhibition Opportunity
The deadline for submissions is April 16th, so you have time. All of you have at least one high quality work that could be included. It would be great to see some nice digital work in the exhibition. Start thinking about what you might want to submit, and let me know if you have any questions.
Hartnett Gallery will soon accept submissions for the Annual Juried
Undergraduate Exhibition! Undergrads from all majors are encouraged to
submit artwork for consideration. (more…)
Sketchbook Theme– Identity
Image + Link
Create 5 posts this week. Browse art institutions concerned with digital art. Find 5 net.art pieces that address the theme of identity or portraiture. Make a post about each artwork. Each post should have an image, a link, and basic information about the artwork (artist, title, date, materials, 1-line summary).
