URL and description for my midterm project for New Media!

Overall, my piece represents my inability to create art through new media.  I have a very hard time mastering the techniques involved in working with the many programs that are used to create new media.  I have always worked best with my hands and have only ever really worked in traditional media.  Because the assignment was so open, I thought it would be fun to somehow try and combine new media with traditional media.  Because I still have no real skill in new media, I decided that I could at least incorporate one of the most important tools in creating new media, the computer.  To touch on some of Brian Knep’s ideas of nature and growth, I immediately thought of the flower as my inspiration.  Ultimately my ideas formed into painting a small rose bush on a computer screen and then photographing it in the dirt, to give the idea that the flowers were growing from the ground, but also off of the computer.  Ultimately combining traditional and new media.
