Project: Prop and Generosity.


For this project, I decided to create paper strips with various colors and patterns on them. I then gave these out to the other students, who then were given the task of writing either compliments, words of affirmation, or something else positive before hanging it on the bush/tree on the patio outside of the studio. Then they would grab a slip of a different color and pattern, and receive the message that someone else had written.


Although I feel like I could have done much better with this, it was still sort of neat to see others interacting with my idea although in retrospect, I wish I had chosen a different one.

 First post! This will be a class-related blog for the sole purpose of sharing my finished assignments. Here is my first one.

 Project four - Measuring Histories  For this project, I confronted the topic of my own personal history through childhood struggle - and put it into a canvas where it connects and almost merges into a source of great comfort. The paint: The paint is comprised of fruit punch soda, of which I mixed with multiple different medias to acquire different shades of red and pink. This dually represents the struggle of surviving off nothing but junk food, and the comfort of food or soft drink to combat stress at such a young age. The bear: The teddy bear is the focal point of the artwork. Drawn with pen and gold paint marker, it is supposed to symbolize a concrete thing that sticks no through every struggle no matter what or where it is.. which is also supported by the text above it. Vinyl cutouts of the original soda bottle label are glued to the paper to further connect it’s origin to the fruit punch soda.
