    So much absence from DS106

    by
    The offline life keeps me more busy than expected, so I have to face, that I´m not participating here in the level, that I want to do. But I do lurk on you guys and I´m impressed of your work.

    During the last year I´ve been so inspired by the stuff we have learned to do online. Now I seized the chance to get some inspiration in the more classic disciplines, so last night I went to my first art class. And I did my first acrylic painting :)



    And I couldn´t help to play around combining it with the gif art. The running unicorn is from http://www.animateit.net/data/media/27/unicorn-running.gif



    I do have one problem: When I copy my picture on the gif layers, it changes its look dramatically. Anybody here who know what to do to keep the original look of the picture?

    It seems like it´s the red color that disappears. I´ll try to balance it.

This article is more about my journey of discovery of the perfect matrix to adapt and adopt in the ecology of Whitman. I arrived here in January and was intrigued by the […]

    My favourites for this week. It was a great pleasure to view everyone’s photos. I followed this link and everyone who had tagged as per our assignment came up! I left comments on Flickr. Dave Barr did not show up on Flickr but I wanted to add my favourite of his to this post too.

    And Sandy’s storms deserve a mention too - I love those photos! Why? they create a mood and I can almost smell the rain.

    by
    Dear Colleagues and fellow travellers on the the digital learning  journey, When I set out to work in a small little school in Amman, run in a residential building, little did I know what was lurking around the corner.

    1st Photoblitz: Assignment

    by
    A dozen photos in one spot… The photoblitz assignment was quite a new experience. The most challenging aspect for me personally was photographing continuously for 15 minutes in a public place. My habit in public areas has been to snap and wander on, as I have found that anyone who appears to be doing anything […]

    Colour Between the Lines

    by
    The Newspaper Blackout Assignment suggests that you should “grab a marker and today’s morning edition and start blacking out sections to create a new story. It could be a poem, a picture, or a novella, all drawn from the words of the latest news”.  I decided to shake this up with a bit of colour.  […]

    Pole Centered: DailyCreate

    by
    A photo with a center of interest… This daily create (#627) called for making a photo with a central point of interest. I found this contemporary, motorized barber pole interesting because of the long history of this symbol, with a continuity of hundreds of years. Photo taken with an iPhone and post-processed with Filterstorm (for […]

    Photoblitz

    by
    This summer, I survived the ds106zone. There was a creative blitz that I’ve been wanting to carry through the fall. But life (literally) has come into my life, and I haven’t been able to carry the momentum. Right now, the ds106 community is tracking through a self-inflicted “headless” course. No professor, no grades, no expectations. […]

    PhotoBlitz The Home Version

    by
    I’ve done the ds106 photoblitz for the visual storytelling week a few times– originally this was a shorter in class exercise Jim and did in Spring 2012 where we used DuPont Hall on campus at UMW. IN the Fall of 2012 I did mine With Giulia Forsythe on the Brock University campus, and did it […]

    #ds106radio Bumper – Talky Tina Small World

    by
    I thought it would be nice to make a nice #ds106radio bumper for all my True Friends and other Friends and friends to hear when they are listening to #ds106radio and are waiting to hear my voice. When they hear this bumper, they will hear my voice for a little bit and it will be like a little snack for them […]

    Photoblitz!

    by
    Now for some reason, the idea of a photoblitz triggers the song "Ballroom Blitz" in my mind. Don't ask me why, it may be just the word blitz is common to both.So I did my photo blitz at home over the lunch hour. My camera is at home, the strongest shad...

    Gone Headless — The Rap

    by
    Someone over in DS106 had created a rap for the Headless Course a few weeks ago, and I decided to give it a try, too. I’ve made the audio file of the Gone Headless song shareable and downloadable, so feel free to remix it and mess with it and do what you want with it. ...

    That’s a Strange-Looking Fish

    by
    I heard of this visual assignment, Fat Cats Make Art Better today in the Google Hangout.  It sounded fun, so I looked for two CC images in Flickr and pulled them both into Photoshop.  I resized the cat image to get it closer in size to the Ophelia image.  I used the lasso tool to […]
