pinecone

We had to photograph an object in 15 different ways. I chose a pinecone.

Motion

abstraction

Shape

depth/space

Line

whole object

color

texture

rhythm

closure

balance

dramatic darks and lights

negative space

positive space

exaggerated scale

texture

We used color to create texture. My colors were dark blue light blue and brown. I used a variety of objects to create texture such as plastic, an avacado slicer, aluminum foil, etc.

Thats pretty good for a girl

I chose lips as my body part to capture here are the origionals just cropped and turned BW, the last few are edited.

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"
