LECTURE ONE WITH HUGH DAVIES

LECTURE ONE WAS REALLY REALLY INTERESTING AND BECAUSE OF IT, I WAS HOOKED FOR THE REST OF THE SEMESTRE.. GREAT JOB HUGH.. THANKYOU!!

Week one with Hugh.. in the Agora theatre..July 30, 2013..

Hugh welcomed us to exploring media arts, so for those of you who have had Hugh before, you would understand Hugh’s methodology of delivery. He will go through this in class and the content too. As of today, all the class material will appear by the blog.. exploring gmedia arts.wordpress.com and you can get information about lectures, tutorials and assessment. Hugh went through the website and urged us all to go in and the homepage is where all the latest information and material will come up. All the lectures are outlined here and the way this is structured, there are a range of themes, image, space, sound and atmosphere, in particular, spatial and temporal is woven through all the subject headings and there are three weeks for each subject heading, this week and in the following two weeks. The aim of this lecture is to think critically and analytically and the point is to develop skills theoretically and practically and in the tutorials with Hugh, Shannon , Felicity or Joel. There will be a range of tutors and it will change a lot as well and in the first few weeks there will be several changes as people are working to expert areas and there are eight tutorial groups. The headings are fairly solid but they may change and in terms of themes; image, space, sound and
atmosphere. 


This leads us to the first blog, my favorite. The

first blog was about image and perception. Here I learned about perspective and perception, how people perceives a picture by photoshopping an original picture. Sadly, the Photoshop software is really expensive and not free at all and I had to use the version available in the Business computer lab. I learned how to use mask on Photoshop..

Here is the link to the first blog.
