Conceptography II + Contest!

Sun May 5, 2013, 5:46 AM by `im-not-sana:iconim-not-sana:

Conceptography


noun [kuhn-sep-tog-ruh-fee]

1. The science or study of Conceptual Art and the techniques involved in the procedures, processes, methods, of making and developing a conceptual piece through any form of medium

2. In conceptography the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand to express the meaning being portrayed.

Not to be confused with "Concept Art" which is an illustration that conveys a visual representation of a design or idea for use in films, video games, animation, or comic books before it is put into the final product.

The Black Sheep by ~decomposerdoll

"The Black Sheep" by ~decomposerdoll portrays how the black sheep is the odd one out because it doesn't follow its herd. Instead of conforming, be yourself!




Announcement


These Monthly Articles will be based on my previous group #TheConceptBox (which I had to close down because of my year long hiatus) I'm ever so thankful to everyone for their support with that group but what's done is done and now I've decided I'll compile all the blogs myself into a single article and publish it once a month. As previously, I'll be including a Conceptual Artist Interview with some serious questions and some fun ones, Deviation of the Month, Themed Contests with prizes and all the entries being featured, Donor features since all my points will be used for these series, and Personality questions where you can learn more about yourself and others! For this article, I used some of the features from my old group since all those got deleted :( If you'd like to contribute to my article series by suggesting some Conceptual Art or in any other way, send me a note to discuss! I'll credit you in my next article :) If you enjoy reading these articles, please :+fav:! Thank you! :heart:



Interview with ~BlackJack0919


1. Could you take us through your creative process when starting a new piece?

How did you come to know about deviantART?
It was just a boring day in 2006 when I accidentally dropped into DeviantART and then never left =P

:iconblackjack0919:

I'm use to visualize things just to remember them easier . The idea comes is rather random, Whenever my ideas come, I write it down as little notes or a simple drawing that will helps me remember them easier. And in the weekends, here is when things happened. I practice photography mostly by weekends. I list down things that needs to buy and prepare. Then I make the photos. It should take around 2, 3 hours top to finish a photography project.
During weekdays, if you have free time, go online and search for arts that relate to your ideas. That way, it can help you become more creative.
And in the weekends, here is when things happened. I list down things that needs to buy and prepare. Then I make the photos. It should take around 2, 3 hours top to finish a photography project. Even if you don't finish your work after 3 hours, you should stop anyway and try to re-doing them next week. By that time, I think that your mind will create something even better :XD: At least, that's what I used to and still doing :XD:

2. What is the greatest challenge you face when creating a conceptual photograph? And how do you overcome it?

What does your username signify?
BlackJack is the name of the very famous manga character created by Tezuka Osamu, my favorite artist of all time and 0919 is a number that have special meaning to my life or at least the most mysterious

:iconblackjack0919:

Well, my concepts are really simple, so there's not much of a challenge when creating them, there is only one picture that actually made my heart beat fast is :

I actually have to jump to the roof of a building to shoot. Well , how do I overcome it, just breathe deep and seek for every possible solutions then proceed ^^ We have to face our problems sooner and later, so why not the present!!

3. Tell us the story behind one of your favorite conceptual pieces from your gallery.

Inspirational artists?
The One, The Only: =JeanFan, `gilad, `foureyes

:iconblackjack0919:

Well, I always tell the story behind my pictures in the Artist's comment, and they sometimes too long to read =P If I can choose, I would love to choose:

It's my favorite because I don't even know that I can write like that ;) =P

4. What is one Conceptual piece from dA that really speaks to you and why?

What's the equipment you use for your art?
Well, I used to use the compact Olympus SP700, DSLR-Like Canon SX10 IS and now, Nikon D70 with 18-55mm VR Nikkor and 50mm f/1.8D. I use the camera just like every other artists, and sometimes I believe, I even clumsier than other photographer when it comes to camera. I'm not that great with machines in general =P But I believe that any camera can take a picture just find, it's the idea behind the picture that counts.

:iconblackjack0919:


"Why something so simple could suddenly seemed so COMPLICATED???" was the question on deck !!! Then , Suddenly I realized , I've been dramatized my life all over in the past and now I just make it become more simple. At least that's what I tried to do, but even today , I still can't manage for things to stay simple. Not that I'm pretend to make it complicated , but life just throw things to me I guess =P But fortunately , all was not lost !!! Just because I can't be simple in real life doesn't mean my ARTs have to stay that way !!! ---> I stay TRUE with myself in ART !!! Yay :D

5. Finally, do you have any advice for the aspiring conceptual artists out there?

Besides Conceptual Photography, which genre of art do you admire most?
Well, Drawing of course. I used to create art through drawing but they just taken so much time so I stop drawing and turn to photography. But from time to time, drawing is a very powerful tool to help me memorise my ideas. A lot of my concept ideas are in "Drawing-format" :giggle: in that way I can remember them clearer and it help to see how the Reality different from virtual imaginations :giggle:

:iconblackjack0919:

Like I always say, never stops looking for inspiration, it's not something that you can take for granted, you have to seek for it, hunt it down and rip it open to see what it can give you. You can read ( again , read ;) ) everything I can say here :

And again, goodluck you guys and just don't stop believe in something you choose. Yearning to it , "rape" it until you get it :XD:

Thank you ~litecrush & !Quolia for putting this interview together :heart:

Which position do you usually sleep in?


I posted a poll asking this and here's the meaning behind your answers



The Foetus (41%)

Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.

Log (15%)

Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.

The Yearner (13%)

People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.

Soldier (8%)

Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.

Freefall (7%)

Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.

Starfish (5%)

Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.




Donor Feature


ComposureI don't know.
I just don't know anymore.
Who I am,
What I want.

Where I've been,
What I've done.
What I was,
And what I'll become.

My mind is blurry,
Thoughts all muddled,
Mixed in a broth of pain and sorrow.

My apologies are sour,
Worthless little lies.
Even though I mean them,
They do nothing to satisfy.
They can't staunch the pain,
Nor the tears can they hide.

My body shakes with tension,
My jaw twitches in apprehension.

Soon I'll lose control,
Of the demons raging inside.
The murderous, ravenous beasts they are...

If my guard should fall,
I fear I may hurt them all,
All those who are kind to me.

Thus I cannot be,
The one that is tr
Cat's CradleShe looks at the world,
And sees only black and white.
Cries tears of blood,
But cannot die.

Porcelain skin,
Raven hair,
Eyes deep brown,
Lips of lightest pink,
Razored nails,
And hidden arms.

She hides her pain,
But fixes those in need.
She's not someone,
Or a normal one.
She's a special one,
A First one.

She always gets what she wants,
But not always when she needs it.
The silence kills her,
And in turn kills me.
She is my Kitten,
But also my Queen.

She doesn't believe me,
When I tell her my love.
She says she hates me,
I say I love her.
I'm stupid and weird,
And she likes it in me.

We're both off our rockers,
But better to be off with
