National Art Honor Society: Sketchbook Project Volume 14
This weekend I delivered our National Art Honor Society Sketchbook Project (Volume 14) "Songs We Love" and it is currently cataloged in the Brooklyn Art Library and Gallery. There will soon be a digital version online but congratulations to all the artists who took part this year, the final book looks terrific! In addition to the art I put together a online playlist of all the songs we illustrated in order on my YouTube page here: Sketchbook Playlist, enjoy!

Digital Media: Audio Part 2- Makers Approach to Instruments
Today in Digital Media class we will begin our 2nd project in our Audio unit in which the class will design and construct it's own instruments in small groups using the LittleBits Korg Modular Kit and makers materials. We will actually use these instruments to record a short piece of music in conjunction with whichever instruments or vocals you want to contribute and the Keezy smartphone apps. I'll be doing a short demonstration of how LittleBits works and then you will form groups and begin brainstorming.
Also as a reminder tomorrow in class is our reflection essays on the Technology Innovators and Entrepreneurs research project so don't forget to look over you notes and refresh your memory. The extra credit assignment is also due at the end of next week (look back on the blog for instructions).

Advanced Media: Michel Gondry
In Advanced Media we'll be looking at the films and music videos of writer and director Michel Gondry. Above is a short film showing him in the process of animating a film, Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?, which is a collaboration with philosopher and linguist Noam Chomsky (available currently on Netflix). We'll look at his creative music videos with the White Stripes, Daft Punk, Bjork, and the Rolling Stones in preparing for our music video. We'll also look at some of his movies such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which was shot on Long Island and landed him the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2004 and Be Kind Rewind. We'll also watch a few of his experiments and short films at michelgondry.com. We'll start today with the video for Daft Punk's "Around The World" below.
