In my internship I do not have a title. My internship is structured as a learning experience. I found out about this internship through one of the neon groups I went to. I spoke to the internship coordinator. She had me come in for an interview, where she and the animator who would be leading the class asked me a few questions. A few weeks later I got an email stating that I had been accepted into the internship program.
Starting my internship
The Company that I am working for is The Made in New York Animation Project. The location that I am at is a smaller one with 15 inters 4 staff members. It is located at 291 Broadway near City Hall. It is a public company, whose primary business is teaching 3D animation skills. They run groups outside of the internship called neon groups. They are smaller groups in schools and other locations. Which are used to help people to create their own stories, which are then put up on YouTube.com.

Brooklyn Bridge Photo
“Brooklyn Bridge” by Michael Kenna
This is a photo called “Brooklyn Bridge, Study 4, New York City, USA, 2000” which was caught by Michael Kenna. Michael Kenna is an English photographer who is known best for his black and white, unusual, landscapes with ethereal light achieved by photographing at dawn or at night with exposures of up to 10 hours. The image is taken on an empty Brooklyn bridge in black and white and makes the viewer think a little longer on his intention with this piece of artwork. I believe that Michael Kenna’s intention with this image is to make people think of life as a never-ending bridge. That is due to how the bride seems to not have any ending. The mood or feeling that this image is tense. That is because the bridge gives the appearance of it being never-ending. The “Brooklyn Bridge, Study 4, New York City, USA, 2000” by Michael Kenna contains three of the nine formal elements, and those are Leading Lines, Diagonals, and Symmetry.
Leading Lines are one of the most effective and under-utilized compositional tools available to photographers. They’re used to draw a viewer’s attention to a specific part of the frame, whether it’s a person, or a vanishing point in the background of the frame. This is very clearly seen where the two corners of the bridge move to the center of the photograph. Diagonals are a slanting straight pattern or line. Which can be seen in the support wires that hold up the bridge. Symmetry the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis or exact correspondence between different things. Which can be seen if the image is folded or cut in half, and the two pieces will be identical to each other. These three formal elements are prefect to analyze this image
Society of Illustrators
The Society of Illustrators displays so many different and interesting styles of artwork. These works of art incorporate a multitude of ideas and genres. All the art came from many different periods of time. No two works of were the same. While there I learned the magazines, vinyl’s, newspapers, etc. are all done I large scale and then scaled down in order for the work to properly fit on the page. The Society of Illustrators was such an interesting place to go to. Seeing all the different art styles and the different approaches the artists of the same time had taken in their work is amazing.
What I have learned in this class.
What I have learned in this class is many things. I learned how to change the tint and tone by adding black or white. Also how to create a gradient scale by adding the complementary color. what was really nice was how to create saturation by putting one color over another.
