Barbara Kruger

A. In this piece of art I see the rules, the government that teaches us, the way they think that children’s minds are inferior to that of the adults in the idea we have no say. The truth comes out in the photo stating that we may speak our minds but the roles in command will do nothing but laugh at the thought.

B. The message I tried to portray in this picture is that the children being taught do not get a say. It is true they are not as smart but that does not mean they can be ignored completely. This accounts for any age of student, anywhere.

C. I dislike this piece of art because I feel that the art part is hard to see. We should have taken the pictures our selves and then added the words. Also I think the words should have just come from the mind, instead of off a website masking some creativity. I know I could have come up with a better fraise if I just came up with it in my head.

Barbara Kruger Assignment

A) In this photo I see a pair of leather dress shoes, very snazzy and look as if owned by a wealthy man perhaps a lawyer or government official or maybe even a man with class and style. They are a pair with out feet in them and they rest on a shaggy like carpet of some sort.

B) The message being said in this picture to me would be about materialism and how possessions are more important to people than other things. We live in a consumer driven society where the things we buy get old in a few days. The words in the photo are a statement that despite the obsession with possessions these things become both worthless and pointless after death and in the grave.

C) I do enjoy some of Barbara Kruger’s to an extent. I do not like the way she puts her words together by looking through articles. I feel that it is more creative and significant when the statement is completely made up from your own mind. Some of her photo’s do not interest me along with her writing, despite this there are a few I do enjoy, so over all id say that she was not my favourite but not the worst.

1. What I like best?
The thing I like best about my game is the theme I used as there were many ways to make my level my own: octpi attack, eels can can swim out of caves, befriend sharks. I stuck to a more Finding Nemo/ biolumenescent coral reef theme simply because I wanted mine to be a colourful contrast to the barren moon surface in the original lander game.

2. What could be improverd?
I would have made it have a little more action, if I had more time I'd insert a shark that goes across the screen and you'd have to avoid it otherwise you would die. I'd also put in an eel that pops out of a whole right beside the landing pad.

3. How is this game an improvement upon the original?
This game is both more interesting and challenging then the original "Moon Lander". There are more objects to avoid and the mission is more interesting because you have to retreve treasure.
