8 - Pete White - Animation

So I originally had the intention of posting her morning elegance (I saw it on digg some time ago), but I had the foresight to see if someone already posted it. Someone did, so instead I will post the sillier "The Pen Is Mightier". I don't think it is as impressive as some of the things posted here. Additionally, I feel like some of its value is just in comedy/entertainment. Nevertheless, I feel it shows a relatively simple, and effective method of animation (stop motion on draw images, instead of your classic, flip-book style cartoon animation). The use of everyday objects (and their often gruesome interactions) are also visually interesting, but not too difficult such that they could only be done by an expert. Enjoy...I guess... :P

Waltz with Bashir- Lillie Cohn

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to post with the movie not just the link.

Anyway, I saw this movie at the Avon recently and was stunned by the powerful message sent through animation. I had always thought of animation as something for kids, but this pushed the boundaries and was absolutely spectacular.

This is a really awesome video made with the Ratatat song, "Nostrand." It only features shapes made with typed letters/symbols, and is still very powerful.

5-Kathleen Yan - animation

Here is a flipbook animation called "Center", featuring the song "Caged Bird".

This vides is disturbingly funny and a bit annoying. But I like it anyway!

10-Jessica Wang, More

This animation is called More. It was written and directed by Mark Osborne.

9 -- Jamilya Ramos-Chapman -- Animations Galore

Here is an animation used for a music video by Utada Hikaru--the beginning sequence of the music video is animation, which I really like.

Here are some other animations that I am a fan of, if anyone wants to check them out--the site is pretty cool:

10 - Emily Lau - Pixar Tennis Commercial

This commercial is hilarious and incredibly well done! I love that within the short clip, the animation gives you several different perspectives and the figures are all rendered with great detail.

Ryan Kaplan - 9 - Oren Lavie

This is an Oren Lavie music video done entirely in stop motion. I find it impressive how much they did with so little (a bed, two people and a camera).

I don't think I really get how to post directly from youtube but here's a link to a music video by Oren Lavie called "Her Morning Elegance" which I thought was nice.

and also:
Here's a link to the website for the short animation "The Allegory of the Cave" which apparently won first place in the US Film Festival Short Film Competition

Hopefully this works...

9- Tanya- Van Gogh- Self portrait

This self portrait done by the impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh in 1889 is one of many that the artist created. It is believe that the artist looked in the mirror in executing the piece so that the right side of his face is actually facing the viewer. I love the expression in his face and the wrinkle in his brow as depicted by his signature outlines and brushstrokes.

Ryan Kaplan - 8 - Francis Bacon self-portrait.

This is a self-portrait by the British figurative painter, Francis Bacon. Apart from its aesthetic qualities, I really like this painting's boldness. It's obscure enough to catch one's interest but not so strange that it's disturbing or disregarded as 'shock-art'.

9-Jessica Wang, Closed Contact #10

This piece is Jenny Saville's "Closed Contact #10." This photograph was taken in 1996, and it is part of a series of large polaroids taken from under her body while she lies on a sheet of glass. I really like the visual effect of seeing her body this way--it's not a very typical self portrait, since we can't see her face. What we see instead is her body, completely bare and slightly distorted by the pressure of the glass. I look at her body and it seems more like an abstract figure, than an actual character of person. At the same time, the pose is quite expressive. The view from below seems to make a stronger statement than the same pose would from above.

9 - Sara Coomes - Self portrait

This is Picasso in 1907.  It's simple, sketchy and cubist.  Even though it looks a little haphazard, when I compare it to photos of Picasso I still see his eyes very clearly.  It feels a little like a mask over a face, but I think that is because of his cubist style.  I the simplicity because it provides an interesting contrast to the high contrast lighting, and very detailed portraits of the Renaissance, which we we're looking at earlier in class.

Lillie Cohn- Self Portrait

This is a self portrait by the artist Chuck Close. He is known for doing HUGE portraits. I like this one because it is so totally in your face, leaving nothing to the imagination. This makes me think that Close must be a confident man, because someone with less self assured-ness wouldn't give you something this up-close-and-personal.

Nicole Noronha 9-Triple Self Portrait

This is Norman Rockwell's "Triple Self Portrait"
From: http://store.nrm.org/browse.cfm/4,1487,61.html

"Humor and humility were essential aspects of Norman Rockwell's character, so when asked to do a self-portrait that would announce the first of eight excerpts of his autobiography, the results were lighthearted and somewhat self-deprecating. The painting provides the essential elements not of his life as an illustrator, but of the specific commission. Rockwell's life is far too eventful and complex to begin to approach summation in a single work so he limits the composition to himself, his artists' materials, his references, a canvas on an easel, and a mirror."

9 - Charles Frohman - Self Portrait of Andy Warhol

(From nga.gov)
Andy Warhol created this self-portrait in 1986, the year before his death. He used four photographic images of himself (with his trademark “shocked” hair) and silk-screened them, off-kilter, onto a 6-foot square canvas. The result is four big heads, set in supercharged pink and yellow against a glossy, dense black background. The effect is intense and unsettling.

9 - Emily Lau - Self Portrait with Thom Necklace and Hummingbird

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a Mexican painter, famous for her vibrant style that integrated indigenous Mexican culture with European influences. She is also noted for her marriage to artist Diego Rivera. When Kahlo was a teenager, she was riding a bus when it collided with a trolley car. She suffered serious injuries and was bedridden for months. While she later regained mobility, she would suffer relapses of extreme pain for the rest of her life. During her recovery, she began painting for the first time. Because of her immobility, she began painting self portraits. In the end, out of her 143 paintings, 55 are self portraits. She used her self portraits as a way to represent her physical and psychological wounds. She is quoted to have said, "I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality." The above painting, Self Portrait with Thom Necklace and Hummingird, is only one of Kahlo's numerous self portraits.
