Hello! Welcome to my blog! 


My name is Ivy and I have loved art for as long as I can remember! It has always been such a big and influential part of my life.

I have experience with drawing, painting, and sculpting. Aside from those, in the world of media arts I have experience in photography, some digital drawing and design, videography and print making. I am very excited for this course and to be able to expand my knowledge surrounding media arts!

This blog will be my version of a digital sketchbook to show my progressions throughout the course and it will be a place for me to post things I find interesting that impact and influence my work.

I hope you enjoy my blog as it shows my journey of learning and exploration through this course!

I decided to create a work that represents this idea of a “perfect life”, otherwise seen as consumerism. The core idea of this project was creating a representation of a “perfect influencer lifestyle”. I was wanting to include ideas of Instagram perfection, luxury brands and beauty products.   The step-by-step plan that I created for myself is the following: STEP 1: Collecting Images ·        Main subject: o    Instagram “model” o    “Perfect skin” ·        Influencer Lifestyle: o    Coffee aesthetic o    Clean girl ·        Extra Objects: o    Skin care o    Makeup o    Perfumes o    Phones o    Jewelry o    Fake nails STEP 2: Building a base composition ...

PROJECT 3: PART 1: Video Shorts:  LIGHT:  PROJECT 3: "Light" COLOR:  PROJECT 3: "Color" FRAME:  PROJECT 3: "Frame" CAMERA SHOTS + MOVEMENT:  PROJECT 3: "Camera Shots + Movements" PART 2: Thematic Video: Link to video:  Thematic Video For my thematic video portion of project 3, I decided to do something that holds good memories. My 2-and-a-half-year-old niece loves the Disney movie Frozen. One of her favourite characters is Olaf! A couple of weeks ago her and her family were visiting, and she and I watched Frozen, and while we did, she asked if I could draw Olaf. I happily did so, and she absolutely loved it! For the remainder of their visit, I received many requests from my niece asking me to draw more Olafs. I ended up drawing many, many Olafs. Happy Olafs, sad Olafs, anything she asked for. So, while trying to come up with an idea for the thematic video portion of this project, I decided to do a slowed time-lapse video of me drawing, Olaf! Draw...
