Opera and Flip Book

For my opera I chose Repo the Genetic Opera, I watched the movies a while ago with my friends and it was so weird for me at first but after a while I found that I actually liked the music, the theme for the music is very dark which can add to the ambien of the game I have in mind which will probably be kind of like a puzzle hack 'n slash game, something along the lines of Alice Madness.

My idea for the flip book is the story if a bunny, probably dancing, playing, and doing random stuff as it lives its life and maybe finds new friends, it is just the story of a bunny in the end.

Digital Art Exhibition

I do not normally go to exhibitions, I have almost never been in one but after going to this one I might just change that.
In this exhibition I saw art that really made me think such as the work of Santiago Echeverry who opened my eyes to new forms of art and new things that can be used for art such as the kinect to do great digital art.
I was fascinated by the animations since I am a huge fan of that type of art, all animations seemed really interesting and what really attracted my attention was the fact that it was all done with open source.
I would not mind going to another one next time one happens around here.

My name is Juan David Samara and this is my blog for Art 211.

My first thoughts about that class were that it was weird to have an art and technology class without having computers in front of us since the last art class I took was in a lab where we worked on the computers everyday, the desks do make me feel like I am back in high school but not in a bad way.

If I had to describe myself in some words I would say crazy and spontaneous, also a weirdo. I was born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras and I lived there for 18 years before coming to UT to study, I am a NMP major and this is my second year at UT, I am also into Japanese culture and am a fan of their comics (manga) and cartoons (anime).

What I expect from this class is to be able to draw my full potential to make works I can be proud of, I also hope to have a lot of fun in the class.
