Hey,
So I've always thought that the best part of creating something is the act of destroying. Destruction is the most fascinating creative idea for me. I'm intrigued by what is left after we strip away all the artifice and posturing that comes with ideas and physical manifestations. I guess it's why I'm obsessed with apocalyptic narratives and disasters.
Because of this fascination today class was especially interesting for me. When our activity started and I saw the four strips of film before Paul and I there was a weird instinctual desire to see what my pencil would do to the film strips. I first tried with the blank one. The pencil created faded but noticeable marks to the film stock. Next I ground the graphite into the film stock and I was given a more rugged texture to the image.
The black and white film stock is the most noticeable with the graphite staining and marking. I believe that it is because of the inherit lack of color in the film stock that the pencil's grey's are noticeable. Next I tried to mix the glitter glue and the ink. I made a mistake and applied the ink first, causing the glue to have nothing to stick too. Overall today was very fun, and I am very interested in seeing everybody's films.
