First Wave of Second Life Presentations

Today we went and visited each area for where the ARTS 450 students hosted their Second Life projects.  First we checked out Terrence's live DJ Performance, with strobe lights.  The bottom floor even had a gallery of his other artworks.  He played a bunch of pop music from over the years and remixed those songs with a dubstep flavor.  He had to use a lot of scripts because of the moving graphics for his DJ set up.

Next up was Jamie and Brianne.  They collaborated on a project that showed off the nighty starry sky. , with illustrations of constellations.  It was called "Spark of Heavenly Fire."  The constellations are images of females of the past. , present, and future who excel at roles that men are usually know to have.  There were notecards that told a description of each of the characters.

We then checked out Tara's project.  We arrived at an autumn color space that had a bunch of umbrellas and some that were actually spinning.  Each umbrella seem to offer different textures.  The whole place ended up being around 200 prims!  Some of the umbrellas had interesting transparencies.  Kuya said that their should be chairs for people to sit on, but the problem was solved when people started sitting on all the umbrellas.  There were so many of them that they resembled mushrooms!

Kuya showed us his land that had a basic set up of showing off his artworks.  Now the interesting part of this area is the matter of how you look at these flat artworks.  You would have to sit in a designated chair to get a perspective of an artwork that Kuya created in Photoshop.  You needed to look at it from the right perspective because the layers floated towards the viewer.  Very exciting!

Jenny was up next showing of a gallery that featured works that included 3D sculpting.  There was also even pictures that showed her avatar posing.  Very interesting to take photos of an avatar!  Very nice building that was calm and very inviting.

Karen was last up today.  She showed off a story book that was in her inventory.  She took out the book and we read it as a class.  You can click through the pages and featured all of her original illustrations.  It was very cute!

Until next time, time to finish my theatre for next class!
