MOMI

When I walked into the Museum of the Moving Image, everything was so lively.  As I was walking up the stairs, there was a screening that was playing. At first, I didn’t really pay an attention, but then I gazed at the projector for a second and I couldn’t walk away not watching the Animation that was playing.  The Animation that was playing was called “ Plymptoons” its by Bill Plympton.  This short film of Bill Phympton was very humorous and the creativity was beautiful. I have enjoyed watching this short animation very much.

                Then as I was looking around the museum, I was really excited to see all the arts and exhibitions. I didn’t except to see all these exciting things at this museum since it’s in Astoria.  When I went to the second floor, I saw some very old cameras and recording.  The old fashion cameras were heavier and huge, unlike the once from today.  It was amazed looking at a very human like statue that was displayed,  it was of the girl from the movie “Exorcist ” , which is one of my most favorite movie. She looked very real and scary as she did in the movie.

                Another part of the exhibition that I enjoyed the most was going to the computers, and  select to play short scenes  from the movies. I have never seen the movie “ Twister”, so when I clicked to preview the short scene from that movie, It was pretty amazing how the shot was taken.  I loved the way how the shot was taken from long and wide angle,  then it zooms into the two characters inside the car.  I have enjoyed going to the museum of the Moving Image as much as I have enjoyed going to the MOMA, but I did not except to see all those amazing exhibitions. I would defiantly go back there again.  

               

Soundwalk - Astoria Park

As I was walking at the Astoria Park, cars were passing by one after another, some cars had loud music others were just honking at the other cars. The music of the ice cream truck was very loud that I heard it from faraway.  There was few buildings around Astoria Park, all I heard was people talking and dogs barking, all these sounds that I was hearing was fascinating in a way which I have never took time to analyze,  how we can hear soo many different sounds being at the same place and time. I have walked around Astoria Park many times, but this was the first time I took my time listening to the sounds around me. As I got closer to the river side, the sound of the waves was peaceful and relaxing. I felt like I was in a different place, I began to hear the wind and feel the chilly wind blowing my face. As people were passing by me, I heard people’s footstep and their breathing as they were jogging, which was strange because I have never notice these sound effects before. Then I started walking by children's playground, when I was there I began to hear something completely different: children were laughing, running around, making strange sounds as they were running around. At first I did not know I would have experience all these amazing sounds just by taking my time to actually listen to it. I have noticed,   when we hear variety sounds  coming from different places , we experience things differently and we feel things differently as well

Blog 1 Artist Statement

I wouldn't call myself a creative person nor not creative, I let the viewers judge my creativity by viewing my art. I see Art in many different ways, anything and everything can be Art, the only difference is the way people view it.  I love Photography, I enjoy capturing the moments, emotions and motions with my camera, so when I look back at these images, it brings back the memories and feelings that I had at that time. As I was doing photography, I wanted to do something more to be more creative, so I was interested learning about web designing. As much as I enjoyed photography, I began enjoying web designing.

When I take a photo and design something I want the viewers to understand the story behind that piece of work without any words describing it.  When I look at other artists work,  I like to observe it carefully to understand the feelings of the artist and the story behind it, and that concept gives me motivation  to improve my art work.
