I wanted to create an epic fight scene between Thanos against Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. Inspired by the battle after Thanos attacked the Avengers HQ. I used cotton balls to keep the flames burning for the shot. Used dirt and recycled materials for the debris. Lighting for this shot was key to capture the mood and emotion of the shot. This however took a day and a half to fully setup. It was a blast to capture.

I wanted to display how I set up action figure photo shoots. From selecting a figure from my collection, to messing around with it, to getting the right lighting and angles, to a light spray for strong light shots. Additionally, showing off the final result of the photo shoot with color correction and edits. But this was mostly done to show one of my hobbies.

This reading went on a deeper and serious tone for performance art. By first stating a performance of Christopher Colombus and what he has done. It’s an interesting viewpoint on performance art. Showing how it can be a lot deeper and richer meaning. Additionally, the inclusion of “avant-garde” performance art explaining how it “appropriating and fetishizing the primitive and simultaneously erasing the original source continues into contemporary.” This reading was incredibly interesting and rich with details.

[SUPER CUT] I was in a crazy Godzilla craze when creating this piece. I previously done an amazing photoshoot of a Godzilla figure of mine before Godzilla vs Kong was released, and after that, I drew a goofy illustration of the 2 characters. So I wanted to create something pretty epic to portray the King of The Monsters. I did this by adding a lot of my favorite scenes together from the Godzilla films made by Legendary backed up by Godzilla’s new theme in the background. I just wanted to show really epic and fantastic scenes that showed Godzilla and his feats. Showing clips/scenes of why he is the King of The Monsters.

The beginning of this article was beautifully crafted, how art is represented as a reflection of reality, I also see it as a copy of reality. It makes the article a lot more meaningful. Starting off with an incredibly strong philosophical way of interpreting art. This way of thinking seems to be recent, however, it seems to be an older idea. Not only that but the many other ideas or beliefs that came to be in other parts of the world are fascinating. Many different views of art are truly eye-opening. I ask myself, How are these concepts and ideas so fascinating to read about? It’s probably the way it makes me think about art in a different way. Additionally, the deeper meaning that art in general has. In philosophical, mythical, and archeological ways of origin are mentioned. The article just continues to go deeper about art and brings other examples into the picture. Giving an amazing understanding of art makes me question my art and other’s art in the process. For example, the humanity within art and its meaning, how it can relate to us, how we feel about it. How some ideas vanish and others become a stronger idea.
