Scanning, this exercise was about scanning an image and then changing the file to what is appropriate for what job, for one like this for an Internet site a gif or a jpeg are the best to use as the file compresses to a smaller size allowing for a faster download time.
Scanning an image is quite simple for the program that i have which is photoshop you,
1. open photoshop
2. go to file -import-, hp scan pro (TWAIN)
3. preview
4. select resolution (highest 300dpi)
5. scan
after you have scanned the image you can now adjust the file to your liking and save in what size file that you want to work with, from small gif and jpeg to large pdf and tiff files.

The Blue Oyster

The exhibition at the blue oyster, i found slightly disturbing, the content of the work centred around video footage of women, taken advantage of and abused in different ways, from the girl who was called an unkind name to the woman repeatedly raped. All of these stories ran along emotional tracks but with huge gulfs between. The emotional instability is highlighted by the lighting and the space, from the moment that you walk through the doors, no, from the moment that you turn into the ally the mood is set, it all comes together as a whole, a work aimed at shocking, to make you pause and think, are my troubles really that bad? if you have ever felt pain you will empathise with these women and the experiences they have gone through from the larges scariest pain to the smallest hurt.

Dance!by clearly ambiguous

-Drawing assignment_music
-i see music as colour and movement
and dance for me is a big part of that,
colour gives mood and, tone and angles
and lines create the flow and composition.
