TIME BASED WORK
Today we worked on Time Based work. We demoed long exposure photographs and painting with lighting. We also started talking about Earthworks and watched a movie about Andy Goldsworthy. And then, we learned about the exciting world of GIF's!
Light Painting!
Here are some inspiring sites with artists using light painting:

Light painting is basically a long exposure photograph. Set your DSLR shutter speed below 1/15. We had the most luck in class between 1/2 and 10".
Earthworks!
Check out the work by this guy. Less a photographer and more a sculptor. Maybe a wizard?

Oh. My. GIF!!
Create a GIF, that appears to be looping continuously.
- You will need to shoot a videos, under 30 seconds each. (10 seconds is a good start)
- Follow instructions under the "How To" section
- Tip: GIFS loop continuously. Meaning they run from beginning to end and then go back to the beginning. And Repeat. Forever.
- To make it appear seamless, you will need to have similar looking beginning and end frames
