Low Class

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 19:56:27 +0000

Here’s this year’s Portfolio class production from the 2012 graduating students in Film/Video/Communications profile. It’s inspired by the Elvis Presley musicals of the 1950’s and 60’s, and stars our own Elvis lookalike Andrew Assaf. Andrew is lip-syncing to an original song, “Low Class”, recorded and performed by Creative Arts students including a talented singer in our first year group, Avery Billingy-Thompson. You might think we’re low class, but we could teach you a thing or two!

For a pinhole camera assignment in their 2D/3D photo design class, both Paul Lofeodo and Chloé Lafond decided to turn their rooms into camera obscuras. Below are the outdoor projections, photographed with a digital camera and rotated 180 degrees so that you can see the image right side up.

Architectural Drawing Structure and Light

When planning for this drawing, these second semester DISA students had to locate an area of the college where they would capture space.
The first part of the drawing consisted in structuring the architectural environment: mapping the perspective lines in proportion to the various areas.
The second part of the drawing consisted in allowing LIGHT to enter the architecture, bouncing off the surrounding structures.
Students could work from the existing lights or create imaginary lights that would load the atmosphere with surreal qualities.
