When the weekly crits were done this week- the debate arose about whether art should be made if it could offend people. This really got me thinking, I couldn't get the question out of my head and so I decided to write a bit of my opinion on my blog. This topic is a strange one, and the concept of offending someone is so complex that you can't really begin to describe it in words. I think that there are so many different types of people with so many different environmental and mental concepts that anything and everything will offend someone somewhere. I also think to offend means to generate debate and create even more meaning because people will have associations with the work and it will in turn bring people together to unite in their shared opinions. And so in my opinion I do believe that art should be made to offend because of the emotions it raises in people which I find intriguing.
After college I took part in shooting a promo for an local organisation for 'Art Space.' This is where things go on such as stalls selling handmade products, live music, art exhibitions and more. This was rather challenging because I hadn't really filmed anything before and we had a small crew and only one camera, we also had issues with lighting and less people turning up to the event than expected. But overall I did enjoy taking part in it because it meant I would have experience using the cameras and editing.
