Molly Hopkins: Post, the fifteenth --
http://mollyhopkins.blogspot.com/2016/02/post-fifteenth.html
Monday, February 22, 2016. Post, the fifteenth -. If i'm being totally honest, i haven't really been into my posts lately; i think i've been so absorbed in thinking about school and graduation and life in general that i haven't produced a good post in a while so i'm going to try to make this one better at least. With that said, it seems like i get some of my best thinking done during artist talks. I fell in love with his music when i was driving back to school and his song YOUTH. Another thing i noticed,...

Molly Hopkins: January 2016
http://mollyhopkins.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 25, 2016. Post, the twelfth - a visible past, a continuation of unmasked realness. Photo 2 of 12 of a visible past. This series of photos is a continuation of unmasked realness and to be honest, for a while that's absolutely all they were. People suggested to keep going with the lip thing, so i moved up my face, tried to do the whole eye makeup thing, and took photos of it. What do made-up eyes tell us that naked ones can't? Photo 10 of 12 of a visible past. Jean Baudrillard said "it is n...

Molly Hopkins: November 2015
http://mollyhopkins.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 23, 2015. Post, the ninth - je ne sais quoi. Still from je ne sais quoi. My final project for new media in art is a video called je ne sais quoi -. Translation: i don't know what. It's about the beauty of human beings (all humus an beings, think Marshall McLuhan's "global village"); beauty that has nothing to do with the common standards but beauty that comes from the subtle little things that we all do; a nervous glance, a conversation about a passion, a smile, a stare. A youngish man f...

Molly Hopkins: Post, the thirteenth -- Norman Rockwell
http://mollyhopkins.blogspot.com/2016/02/post-thirteenth-norman-rockwell.html
Wednesday, February 10, 2016. Post, the thirteenth - Norman Rockwell. It would be difficult to argue that Norman Rockwell. Wasn't an important artist. He made the cover images for the Saturday Evening Post for almost 50 years and had a huge influence on the hyper-realist art movement. His style of staging a scene to photograph and then making a painting or drawing from it is so Simulations. After the prom" 1957. This is an example of a Rockwell work that was done after a staged photograph. In this piece,...

Molly Hopkins: Post, the eleventh -- "an unnamed need"
http://mollyhopkins.blogspot.com/2016/01/post-eleventh-unnamed-need.html
Wednesday, January 20, 2016. Post, the eleventh - "an unnamed need". Right now, the Wriston Gallery features an exhibit with work by Anila Quayyum Agha, Jennifer Angus, Michelle Grabner, Heather McGill and Tony Orrico. Although i couldn't make it to the opening, i just checked it out and it was pretty cool. The description inside the gallery reads:. We desire beautiful things, and yet we discount them. Beauty has been so exploited as a means of manipulation. Self and other; form and nothingness.". Images...

Molly Hopkins: March 2016
http://mollyhopkins.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2016. Post, the sixteenth - made-up perfection. My final project for this class ended up being a little different than i'd originally thought. I had wanted to print my photos to make physical, tangible pieces with printed text in between, but it turned out to be a digital presentation. Face 3 of made-up perfection. My point/message ended up being one about caring for and about yourself, something that i think a lot of us are frightened of. Some things will always be able to hurt you, b...

Molly Hopkins: Post, the fourteenth -- final project proposal
http://mollyhopkins.blogspot.com/2016/02/post-fourteenth-final-project-proposal.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2016. Post, the fourteenth - final project proposal. I can't believe this is almost over, but that's not what i'm supposed to be talking about; i'm supposed to propose my idea. For my last project, i want to use photos from "unmasked realness" and "a visible past" along with some new ones of my nose (that will hopefully be contoured by Ariel). I want to print some images and display them together mosaic style to make a somewhat complete face. Photo from "a visible past". Once Upon...

Molly Hopkins: September 2015
http://mollyhopkins.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 27, 2015. Post, the second - H2O. The guidelines for this project were to make an experimental video approximately 1 minute long. I've never made a video before, so whether it was a guideline or not, this was going to be an experiment. The inspiration for this video comes from my never-ending annoyance when i walk into the shower or bathroom and water is dripping because someone couldn't turn the faucet all the way to the right. It's about being a conscientious world citizen. Wednesday,...
