Seasonal SL

For the finale of this class, I'm going to create twelve high quality images, using one avatar in different formations, a vast variety of found objects and in-word created ones. The imagery will follow the theme of the seasons, influenced by the idea of a themed calendar, each month using historical elements and weather related ideas to make the best possible outcome. The avatar itself will be chosen on ascetic principles and depending on the environment chosen, each physical characteristic will be warped and played with until perfection in sake of the portrait.

Presentation will be that of a printed out, handheld booklet, able to lay on any solid surface and be held by those in distance enough to handle it. This form of presentation will give the physical element of actually holding the portraits in the hands of the viewer, and taking small sparks out of the virtual life realm back into the world of its creator.

The images will be used in more then just this printed format, placing them in second life for a limited time, or using them as the display on a real time calendar will be a good experimentation in seeing where the idea of these images originated from. Of course the possibilities and lives of a group of images deserve to be played with and handled in a variety of ways. The prints will be what I present in the final of this class, and will be critiqued in the form of the usual way of art school.  Below is a little sample of an image I might possibly be using, as you can see the avatar isn't the main focus, but just like in the real world, surrounded by nature objects and land and sky.
