Prior to working on the scanography homework, I intended to create another digital painting or collage. I wanted to pursue digital painting further, and after completing the additional previously posted piece for my diversity class, I was excited to keep moving in that direction. However, once we started scanning, I couldn’t stop. Between the time spent scanning in the Meyers studio at at my own home, I completed well over a hundred scans. While scanning at my home I was able to play with factors such as light and other materials that may have compromised the scanners at school. I scanned everything I thought could be interesting- my clothing, my jewelry, my books- I even scanned my cat! It was so interesting to see how the slightest change in light or speed could change a picture so drastically. For my blank assignment I included another series of the dinosaur scans. I felt that this series best exemplified the changes that can occur by adjusting one element, which in this case was light. The scans posted earlier were completed in a completely dark room, while the scans below were in the same room with bright lights on. I chose the scans that featured only the single item of the dinosaur, rather than the various other items I scanned with the dinosaur. I appreciate the simplicity of these images. I’m excited that this class is offering such great opportunities for material exploration and I’m looking forward to learning what else scanners are capable of.
