Who Inspires You: My Dad We all have a family member that inspires us, I have multiple, but for the sake of this assignment I had to chose one. One of those people that inspires me, is my Dad. Many people choose celebrities or people with some sort of fame, though I figured why not […]

Think of a Poem: “Feelings” Feelings, One day your feeling up, The next day your feeling down, Feelings so pure Feelings of frown Feelings, Days of excitement We all love those Days of disappointment And we all know, that’s just how life goes Feelings, Feelings of joy, And sudden feelings of pain Everyone is different […]

September 6, 2021

After reading and viewing the videos on storytelling, I realized that many people do not expect storytelling to be completed digitally. The idea of “Creating Narratives with New Media” reading, demonstrates how many people tell stories using different types of technology every time some new media is created. Just like writing a story without media, […]

September 6, 2021

What a week! From tips on writing a fluid, engaging blog post (am I doing it yet?) to animated GIFs, video mashups, and exploring some more into how copyright law is both frustrating and a teensy bit incomprehensible. To start, I read some advice on how to view the creative process. I feel that authorContinue reading "Week 2 Summary"

Week 2 Daily Creates

September 5, 2021

In choosing between various ds106 Daily Creates, I decided to use the Random option with the idea that I’d commit to whatever came up. This helped to keep my creates different enough from one another and forced me to work with whatever I was given. After I completed each mini project, I scheduled them toContinue reading "Week 2 Daily Creates"

Over the weekend I attended the Smoky Hill River Festival with my family. The literal highlight of the evening had to be seeing Martika the One Woman Stunt Show (or the Death Defying). Martika put on a thrilling fire show for her audience and I couldn’t help but record the most exciting pieces of herContinue reading "Martika the One Woman Stunt GIF"

Today’s Daily Create said to “Make some digital sashiko.” Sashiko is explained as a way to repair clothing and in the process make it more beautiful. If we were to interpret this metaphorically, as something digital, what could it be? … Continue reading ?

Today I wanted to create a fake event poster. For a while it was going to be advertising some sort of intergalactic conference. . .then it was going to be Bob! (Mr. Ross’s broadway show of course), but finally I landed on what I imagine to be an a capella group called The Happy LittleContinue reading "The Happy Little Cloud Performers"

Bob Ross loves his little animals friends, and he wants us to love them too. After watching a couple episodes of The Joy of Painting, I decided to have some fun with these moments between Bob and his pets. The original idea comes from the ds106 assignment bank. Using Adobe Premiere Rush, I was ableContinue reading "Bob Ross Animal Mashup"

What a week! I enjoyed this one even more than the last. I wrote a post sharing my thoughts on what kind of artist I am. It was a fun one to write because this course itself has made me think a lot about my own artistic discipline. I also participated in the daily creates […]

by Thomas Pulsifer When I saw the prompt for this assignment, I was relieved; Finally, an excuse to rant about this anime. Be warned: There will be spoilers ahead.

Granger and Weasley??

by @Carrie F.

| ds106, FanficAssignments, fanficassignments374, Syndicated
September 3, 2021

Ron and Hermoine — that’s a tough sell in my opinion. There was no chemistry, and the romance was nonexistent. The little childish arguments/squabbles were more akin to the disagreements between siblings not would be lovers. The gif represents the awkwardness and childishness that was present in the Harry Potter series between the two characters, …

I wouldn’t consider myself a highly ambitious person. This sounds like it should have a negative connotation, but in all honesty, not a lot of thing can hold my interest long enough for me to feel passionate about them. Again, not the most bright and ...

It’s not always what one sees in a photo that has the greatest impact on the viewer. Sometimes, it is what is just outside of shot, obviously not included, but forces the mind to create the story. Just as the moon is shadowed by the tree and cloud cover, the guest at this soirée are …

This week in DS106 felt a lot less hectic than the first. For the first week, I had to set up accounts on new platforms, engage with accounts I hadn’t really used before, and familiarize myself with software that I had never used. Now that I have gotten the chance to work with these digital […]

For my third creative assignment, I chose a prompt from the audio category. Submitted by Drake Dragone, it was titled “Make Noise From A Normal Sample”. The concept here was to take a recognizable song, sound, what have you, and turn it into some unrecognizable noise. I really liked the potential of this idea, especially […]

by Thomas Pulsifer The number of assignments to choose from in the Assignment Bank is pretty overwhelming, but when I saw Jonah Helbling’s assignment to build a house in Minecraft, I couldn’t resist.

WHAT KIND OF ARTIST ARE YOU?

by @PabloMccrimmon

| artisticambition, ds106, Syndicated
September 2, 2021

Certainly a big question. One I probably ask myself at least once every day, vacillating in tone between genuine curiosity and self-frustration. I find this question difficult to answer because it seems a bit unnecessary. Shouldn’t the kind of artist you are simply be evident from the kind of art you make? I can never […]

I remember hearing about a photographer who was suing Getty Images a few years ago, but I had never looked into the details. After reading an article from 2016, which presents the case and what lead to it, I became a little more invested than when I’d simply heard about the case in passing.
