Artist Statement
60 Second Video
My 60 second video was going to be about me going to the dentist but on Saturday march 26,2020 there was a scholarship brunch at my college and I decided to record myself walking into that. Being that the moment was fun and I enjoyed the day this was a better video being that it was pure and not forced. This video was of me walking from my house and down the street to Westminster and then walking inside the door. The pictures were of people receiving their scholarship and taking a picture with deacon out fabulous college bear. During the middle of the brunch we had to mingle with the guests as well as the graduating seniors had a chance to take pictures together since we will be leaving in a few more weeks. My overall experience today was great and I enjoyed looking back at the videos and pictures that were taken today.
My podcast was on Peter Gariepy and Antonio Gordon and their view on a series of questions I asked them. During the interview they gave a lot of straight forward questions but what was very interesting was how they both had a lot of different takes on one question I asked which was how do they feel about people not giving artists a change in the beginning of their career. Some questions lasted 5-7 minutes for a response as well as some just took 1-2 minutes. Being that Peter and Antonio are both who are living and have already gone through the experience of being turned down from multiple opportunities that they wanted within the creative field, it really inspired me to continue to do this podcast interview with them to get their view on certain questions and to see how they felt about this industry.
Bc Underground Website
With the website client project it was a very interesting and exciting project. Being able to design websites is a passion of mine. When I was able to design the bc underground website I was thrilled. During this project I faced a lot of challenges being that when it came to wix I had to have a strong enough connection to continue to be able to make the website or it would not load as well as save. I also ran into error codes within wix but I was able to contact the company's customer service line and get assistance with the code. When those challenges came about I was discouraged and I was looking into other websites to make the site on but being that IÂ have experience in wix I continued to push through and keep going. Once the packet was approved of all of the work I was able to start putting in some of the pieces from other students. When it came to the poetry section my team and I divided the work into sections so we all would not feel overwhelmed. It was a great experience and I am glad I got a chance to work with them on this project.
