For this piece I focused on the part of the text which stressed that "Most things become more interesting once we've lost them" I took this and developed with the fact that once the Mona Lisa was lost, its image started to saturate the media. This led me to the symbol of the Yin-yang, something I had been interested in prior to starting the project. What interested me was the fact that the two halves of the Yin-yang are interdpendant and co-arising, meaning that one cannot exist without the other and that they both contain elements of eachother. I used this composition in my final piece.

One Oppurtunity: Like the historic event, the thief had one chance to steal the Mona Lisa with little notice (and succeeded). For this piece I recalled to the day when I noticed it was raining and sunny, with a raining going in between. So I rushed outside saying "gotta take the shot". This is one of the scenes of me shooting outside in the rain where a rainbow is out. Using ink and pastels to create my surroundings, I even created this image while it was in the rain for inspiration.

What the Artist sees: The scene where the painting is taken, and since then many came to see this piece missing. Using charcoals I showed an art gallery where all the paintings are blank. The theory of what one person sees compares to another. No matter what was there, all the paintings have almost something in common, they started out as blank white screens.

The Land we Walk On: My final response is creative, logic, imaginative and sneaky. Taken from a children's puzzle book, it is a map of a fictional land with buildings, rivers and pathways. Written notes are seen at the sides of buildings describing the location and a key skill of what people could see when looking at art. Created using coloured pencils, I have also hidden something else on the map. I am not going to tell what it is but as a hint it is this. 
  hint: sure its gone, but it can be seen anywhere else if you think about it.

'what looks at us does not always see us. The cameras, after all, are oblivious to what they register; strictly speaking, they see nothing.'

I took inspiration for my (very) short animation, from Anita Witek. Where the author explores the idea's in her video piece involving CCTV cameras.
My idea is about being actually looked at by CCTV cameras, and what if they could see, and make judgments?
I decided to use Adobe Flash to create it because I have just purchased a copy of the programme, and thought it would be a good idea to get back into using animation software after my gap year.
