Final project for Art 492
Motion Graphics at Flagler College
My final for this class was totally open!
This piece is inspired by Zodiac, one of the most well known Art Nouveau pieces created by Mucha. I wanted to combine one of my past favorite movements with a current movement going on with art- art as meditation. Go into any book store or craft store today, and I am confident you will see adult coloring books. People find relaxation in art with the rhythmic movements of coloring in a shape, and feel satisfaction with completing a work . In my piece, I seek to take a traditional design motif and marry it to meditation. The setting is designed to transport the viewer into a relaxing place, the movements of the audio waveforms move in sync with the music, colors are easy on the eye, and the piece draws itself out methodically. There is a withdrawal of information and lack of completion for a duration of the piece, it is when the profile line is drawn out, that the viewer experiences a sense of completion. To show this satisfaction, that hair simultaneously draws and then seems to breathe.
