Cameraless Filmmaking experience

It's amazing how cameraless works! To think of doing cameraless is like painting or messing around on the filmstrips with anything you want without using an expensive camera. That's really awesome to do that. I mean, anyone can do that! I actually never tried this until now and I felt inspired for doing it. I would definitely try them at home for a hobby. As for magazine transfers, I have enjoyed that also. I plan to keep doing that for a hobby too!

My partner and I are still figuring out what to draw whatsoever on the filmstrip for the project to make the figures look realistic with the right colors. I'm new to this and I'm not getting used to drawing on the filmstrip but I'm enjoying it as much as I can! We have talked about the elements that match the colors and we figured, what the hell, let's do something a bit different. We don't need to match the elements to the right colors. We can try the elements to the objects like food or grocery stuff. For example, let's try air as plastic wrap or whatever and also fire as pepper with a Mexican hat. Ironic, huh? But we're getting there..:)

And for the darkroom, I didn't know what to put on the exposed film. In fact, I actually freaked out that I would mess them up, but I guess I did good. Hopefully they turned out okay. I have volunteered to help the films to get them developed..I felt weird when I had to pick a bunch of films up and then stirred them. I thought they were trying to trap my hand or something. :) But anyways, all is good and it was so much fun. :)

Synesthesia in Art

I may have heard the term somewhere, perhaps in an art class I took a few years ago. The term is defined as "the elicitation of perceptual experiences in the absence of the normal sensory stimulation, in the arts the concept of synaesthesia in the arts is more often defined as the simultaneous perception of two or more stimuli as one gestalt experience." I don't really have that talent in synaesthesia but the whole information about synaesthesia is very interesting.

I enjoyed the examples of the artists' quotes and how they did that. My favorite was Marcia Smilack's idea as how she created them. Since I love taking photographs, I never thought she can experience through that. When I take a picture, I just like how the structure of the picture looks like...It's like how to look at the art of it. I like to take pictures with different angles or anything beautiful.

The history of the synesthesia is very interesting. I can’t imagine that those people would study the music and art and they would try to match the notes to the colors. How can they do that? So Amazing! After I read the theory, I would like to experience that one day.

Even though I took one or two art history courses, I only learned about the structure of the paintings and colors and why they chose to paint these certain things. But I didn’t know that back then and now those painters can paint through music along with the colors they felt or have felt.

This is an interesting concept to where I can learn how to use artistic expressions through music and color, while I paint or take a photograph or whatsoever. Cool!
