Video Art Project - Writer's Block

Writer's Block - Video Art from Jasmine Alicea on Vimeo.

So this is my video art for digital media. My idea came from Ron Mann;s "Poetry in Motion". It's a compilation of different people speaking out poetry. My idea was to use the audio as the thoughts going in different writers' heads as they wrote. I use silence to my advantage for the writer's block portions...nothing comes to mind after all. It's meant to be a parody...rather than expressing one's results of good creativity...it's expressing one's frustration when they can't think of anything at all.

Reading #3 Questions

1. There are many different types of mediums used with art. How does video as a medium impact the message of the art piece contrary to a painting?

2. What's the difference between "art" and "artful"? They seem similar to me yet apparently something can be "artful" while not being art"? I'm confused.
