Project 9: Self-Imposed Concept GIF

PEOPLE BREAK UP (gif)




PEOPLE BREAK UP (gif plus audio in video format)



PEOPLE BREAK UP (original version- gif and audio)



ARTISTIC STATEMENT:

This assignment asked us to create a gif based upon our own concept. I choose to make as abstract of a piece as possible. I typically use forms and cartoonish figures in my art so I wanted to make something formless that utilized colors and shapes to create an emotion. Within my concept I also wanted to focus on human relationships, specifically romantic relationships. So my shape constantly breaks apart symbolizing a break up. At the same time that break ups are continuously occurring, simulating many of our loves lives, three other figues come into the composition and could be described as symbols of non-romantic relationships. In the end, even these symbols fade away. 

The colors coming together throughout the composition represent the birth of new relationships. So do the new colored shapes that appear behind the old.

Another component of this project was that I played with designing and adding audio to the gif. The goal was to make an audio track that at least minutely resembled the theme of the piece, creating a nice accompaniment. I couldn't figure out how to save a gif with audio files so I rendered the audio and gif compositions down to video.
