In the Coffee Shop

Here's the latest video for Degs, starring Mike and Gabrielle (aka Nels and I).

I decided to go all La Jetee on it and use only still images. The challenge was to make it dynamic while only using the still pictures.

Programs used were Premier, Final Cut, and Illustrator. And Nels used Protools for the audio.

Global Warming

My friend Pat and I recently finished our midterm project for out Science and Society class. Our chosen topic was Global Warming. We did this entire animation (from concept to final product) in about 2 1/2 days. It was... intense.

Well I guess I should start with "hello"

Thus begins my first artist blog (deviant art doesn't count!). Here I will post my digital art, as well as some of my more traditional things.

My name is Cherie Christensen, by the way, for any of you who haven't met me. You can call me Kitty, though, if you like. I am currently a senior at Pratt Institute and working on my senior project, which, if I do say so myself, is quite brilliant. Most of my postings will pertain to that.

Though I am a digital artist I love to work in traditional media. There's just something so satisfying in oil paints that you can't get with a computer. I love bringing together the digital and the traditional (in fact, my entire senior project revolves around this). Combined they can have so much more depth than one or the other alone, in my opinion.

I am also of the belief that art does not have to have a meaning. 20th century artists were brilliant, but they got this idea into peoples' heads that all art must have a purpose and meaning (and it must always be profound). Why can't art simply exist for art's sake? Why can't a person make something with the only intent of being pretty or visually interesting? So often I am asked, "What's the meaning of this piece?" when really we should ask, "Does this piece have a meaning, and if not does it really matter?"

Please feel free to browse through my artworks. I plan to post most of my things up here, but until then you can check me out on my website, Deviant Art, or youtube.

peace, love, and IK handles,
Kitty
