inflatopia

we had to design an idea for inflatopia. It had to be larger than life and blow up. I had the idea of a tunnel with strings of yarn at different intervals throughout it. It would resemble one of those old timy hallways that the spy had to avoid lasers.

self portrait crit

We did a small group crit on my self portrait. since i didnt have any thing to hold my rose up i held it myself. Also since it requires a little surprise it worked as a perfoance peice. Everyone loved the rose as well as the glass.

good points:
satin vs glass
textures
colors
how it opens like a jewlery box, more feminin
easy translation
cloth on inside
dew drops


Needs work:
edge of the inside needs to be covered with satin
the edge of the outer petals could be trimmed

Self Portrait

Our self portrait project involed us picking two materials and using those two to represent two characteristics. My two characteristics were beauty and broken. I used a golden satin material to create a rose-box. when you open the box the inside is filled with shattered red matallic glass.

poster

With my pgrase being "Butterflies are self propelled flowers" I decided to use the design that looked like it was propelling the word "propelled"

module madness crit

I was one of few who recieved little to no bad crit on my module madness.

good points
burst effect
contrast from dark to white
steel can compared to light feathers
soft
feathers on can
looks like feathers are actually coming from the can ("i feel like if i sprayed that can then fathers would actually come out")
longer on bottom
black feathers look like a jet stream
clean
flippy feathers

there werent any bad points unless you get extremely nit picky like "oh these feathers could be brushed out to make them smoother"
