Movie Magic Project (Mariana)

As an art lover, this Magic Movie Project result to be the best beginning for my Inglish classes. To be able to do a great job, we have to learn about what we are going to do and the topics we are going to talk about. In this case, the process that ends with the creation of two mosaics, start by learning about the magnificent world of colors. After our brain is full of new rich information, it's time to relate it with another topic, movie clips. It is possible to have enough information about the movie since the colors they use, although we only watch a small part of it. After analyzing the six clips, it was time to choose two of them and start the artistic part of the project. I chose "Marie Antoinette" clip and "Alice in Wonderland" clip. Although you may think that both of them have a similar palette of colors, they don't. I used pastel colors such as pink, baby blue and purple for the first mosaic and for the second one I used darker green and red paper sheets. That was almost the final step of the project but before we had to design and the cut all the color papers I picked up to put together the mosaics. After sticking all the pieces, the result was two mosaics, one more literal than the other but equally representing what I understand about the clips according to their colors.

Color Understanding Process (Natalia)

Before the movie magic project, colors for me were meaningless. I was able to see each color, but not understand them as a source that communicates ideas, feelings and intentions. That is why this activity represents to me the process of understanding colors. The first step was to learn how to name different tones, the effect they have in perception and how we can use them in advertising and movies. The second step consists of watching six different movie clips. The main purpose was to analyze each of them and identify the meaning of colors. The third was about choosing two of the movie clips to make the mosaic. It was difficult to define the criteria to use in this selection. Also all of them had wonderful and meaningful colors. Finally, I chose the ones that were more visually attractive. The process ends with the performance of the mosaics. In my first mosaic I created an abstract piece of art. The main characteristic of this image is movement, which is represented by the yellow leaves. The second mosaic was more meaningful and literal. In this one I used a skull to represent evilness and pink spectrum tones to show innocence and kindness.  I also used fancy materials to create a strong sense of irony. The whole process represents a big step for me into the world of colors and their power in communications. That is why I invite you to take time and think about them and analyze how they can affect and influence your perception daily.

Alice in the wonderland

Doing mosaic processing is a good ability to learn how to write a process essay because one needs to follow step by step. First of all, one have to know the color; i was introduced all color names in class, and i got familiar with them. Then, i watched continuously 6 movie clips and took note also; after that I chose two from six clips that i had watched which were Hero and Alice from the wonderland. The next step is I selected color papers and all materials that i need for making two mosaics; the color and design of mosaic need to interpreted the effect from clips. The last step is created mosaics. Finally, when i finished my mosaics, i sat down and wrote a processing assay. This activity is quite useful to help me to get familiar with processing writing
