Didn't realize you were secure enough to post naked photos of yourself on the internet, but still insecure enough to delete constructive criticism and advice.

also as for you comment about learning to photoshop. Thats what my college graphic design classes are for. Most of the material you seen through out the whole gallery, if you had looked, were things I was playing around to see what I can do with the softwere. I am still learning about photoshop and will continue to learn. Especially when the photoshop I have is an updated CS2 and has a lot of features I dont know about yet.

Well alot of the comments I had I felt were rude. There wasnt just constructive criticism, some comments were personal attacks, and they were rude. Besides why would you care anyway? You don't know me. I can take constructive criticism, I just dont take rudeness. Some people were swearing at me and that is not right. I actually appreciate some of the criticism but I dont think anybody understands that I am just exploring different ideas and different ways of expressing myself. I realized posting nudes of myself to get a certain message across about women and the media is not the best way to show my artistic side. I think I am just going to stick to photography instead of photoshoping because that is what I am good at. Anway I got raided and I deleated everything. So could you guys please stop visiting this place and stop leaving comments such as yours because I learned something from this and I don't think it is right to keep adding on and keep on harassing me about every little mistake I made. I am only human afterall. You are human too aren't you? I admitted I was/am wrong about some things I said and I dont understand Why I keep getting comments when everything is deleated. So please leave me alone and that message goes out to people who want to keep posting comments. Because its over and done with, I know how people feel about what I did, I don't need anymore of it.

I'm a full time student at SAIC. I don't think I should have to clarify what SAIC is, though just in case you are not familiar with it- it's the school of the art institute of chicago. The primer conceptual art school in the world. I'm majoring in fine art, as well as critique.
The reason I am telling you this is because so you are aware that I have an extensive knowledge of contemporary conceptual art, not just in past work, but work being created today by the future of conceptual artists.
What you need to understand with your work, is that when you take an image, of anything, the image will carry a breadth of ideas and meanings.
A painting of a phallic looking building may carry the idea of "man's triumph over nature", or perhaps "the masculinity of buisness and power", or more, or all, or none. The title of the work, in this sense may also help give more direction.
However, when you take an image, ESPECIALLY one that is sexually, politically, or philosophically charged, and add a caption onto it that specifies exactly what the meaning it, it becomes FAR too literally- it tears down all the walls of conception, and imagination- and you are left with a simple declarative sentence.
In a sense, it's the literary equivalent of taking the lush volumes of the Iliad and Odysee and sparknoting it into a one page, direct summary.
Uninteresting, loses it's meaning.
The brunt of your works does just that- by taking images and slapping on declarative text it becomes a one line sentence that does not provoke my mind to think about the concept, the piece, or even take you seriously as an artist.
If all the great artists you mentioned wrote on their work the exact meaning, to the dot, no other translations accepted, their work would simply be stacked in their basement or attic some where.
YOU NEED TO BREAK OUT.
If you want to be literal all the time then conceptual art is simply not for you, formal art can have ideas, but formal art expresses them in the way you have been doing- with simple ideas expressed obviously.
Also, the quality and the medium of the work needs much improvement. Taking digital art classes isn't going to teach you not to be lazy when cropping out images.
Also, be careful when dealing with digital images, because they carry separate charged ideas and meanings that will carry over into your work whether you choose to or not. Your medium should express your conception. If you're talking about the MEDIA, why did you not make a VIDEO piece, or a piece printed out in what looks like an ad for a magazine?
Break out, work in other mediums that will express your ideas, keep researching conceptual art, goto museums and galleries, keep a sketch book.
I truly hope you are able to take from this comment! Good luck!

Reguardless who the photographer was doesn't matter because the work is yours. It will be read as yours, and while if you chose to make note of the process then the work would have other connotations that don't related to the peice.
The process is equally as important as the final work. Always!
Art is a media, but it's not "The media". Different connotations. I also highly refute that "everything will be digital, including art." While the range of technology increases, and allows for new TYPES of art, the traditional mediums will always exists, regardless of expansion of new technologies.
Black is a representational color, just like all colors. Having a black background gives the piece different aesthetic and conceptual meanings regardless of intent.
I'm familiar with Barney, but he does a wide range of sculpture, video, drawing, performance. These (with a somewhat different case on video) are all traditional works. He expresses a great deal using mediums that progress his peice. If all of his drawings were digitally done they would not carry nearly the same weight. Barney also expresses many ideas and is not limited to the internet taking over.

First off, your new best friend is..

Poetry work with photography added. When writing poetry make sure you ask yourself what separates poetry from pose and go from there. It's not only rhyme.
Check out some of the works by Lawrence Wiener. Your local library will probably have some work by him.
Also...

Keep working and learning, good luck. One thing I strongly recommend you reading is Art Theory: A historical introduction. It's a required reading at SAIC and I believe you could benefit alot from it. Good luck!

Why must you subject my eyes to such horrors? Put a damn shirt on, fatty. You are not beautiful or abstract. And shitty photoshopping is indeed shitty.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
oh yeah, btw.
i actually looked at your art.
holy crap that is shitty photoshop.
all you use is fucking filters. nothing else.
wow, you better have a pirated copy of PS, because if you actually paid the 400 dollars for it then you seriously need to be shot.
plz brush up on your MS paint skills before even attenpting to move to photoshop.

My dear, my dear. Please, don't take this too harshly, but a photoshop filter does not an art piece make.
I think it might be best for you to begin pencil and paper drawing and not look back to Photoshop until you're adept at drawing and colouring without it's aid. Also, a photo editing class may be something to invest in.
Don't get me wrong, your enthusiasm is great and you're a lovely girl, but you probably shouldn't be working with Photoshop yet.

I have to agree with Soronuume on this one she is an excelent student at our highly acclaimed art college and knows what she is talking about. I my self am highly experianced in photoshop and can tell when somethings done mostly in poor taste. try to think of personal ways to make an art peice stand out rather than jsut suing copy paste and filters if your just experementing id put those in your scraps.

Lovey, I'm in an art college and it's a mandatory class for me, it may not be my strong suit but I have certainly studied it. =/
Fact of the matter is, avante garde artists from Pablo Picasso to Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning and Robert Rauschenberg all had intense formal training and developed classic artistic skills before creating their own derivative style or deciding to buck at the art establishment of the time.
My comments were meant as a critique in good faith and you seem to have assumed I didn't know what I was talking about which is a touch insulting if you ask me.
Before you respond, I'll let you know that I'm leaving this debate where it stands and have no intention of saying anything more on the subject.

well I appologize, I didn't know, I see your point but at the same time its like I said I am exploring. Also I am not expecting to become an avant garde artist I am just doing this for fun and the idea came to me from my art history class. Also Not every artist has had formal traning. There are engineers that are artists and some have never been to art school but either way its cool.
