Congratulations are in order for CyberARTS grade 12 student, Elijah Budgeon, on the occasion of his first painting sale!
The Cow Jumped over the Death Star sold on opening night of the 2012 InSight Youth Art Show. Elijah's first client is Nawfal Sheik (pictured here with Elijah and his painting) who happens to be the Community Cultural Coordinator of Assembly Hall, where the exhibit is currently showing.
Be sure to check out Elijah's painting, and the work of other student artists, on display at Assembly Hall just until April 4th.
Bravo, Elijah!

Animated poetry analysis
Search the internet to find animated, illustrated or action poetry. Anything that is a series of images, text, sound. You could try searching for multimedia poetry or kinetic typography poetry as well. View several and choose the one that inspires you the most. Post this on your blog with an analysis that addresses the following:
1. Design elements and principles - look at the use of line, shape, colour, space, value, texture and typography and images. Also, the use of emphasis, rhythm, balance, contrast and unity. Describe what you see.
Analyze the use of the above elements and principles in terms of how well the artist expressed the idea of the poem. For example, "The light, pastel colour scheme and fine lines really accented the choice of poems because the poem is all about feeling light and free."
2. Discuss the use of sound - voice, sound fx, and/or music. Describe and then analyze based on how well the sound expressed the idea, emotion and content of the poem.
3. Sequencing. Look at pacing, timing and sequencing. Describe and analyze.
4. Your opinion overall. What do you like about it? Why does it inspire you?
Post by Friday please!
