CALLIGRAPHY



This was my reference photo for my Calligraphy project. I wish that I used a better and more planned out photo. I chose this photo because I thought that my hair would work well and it had gave me problems on other assignments. 


This was originally what I had and I can confidently say that this was my least favorite assignment. I struggled with what seemed like a relatively simple task and completely overcomplicated it every step of the way. My hair was an absolute NIGHTMARE and at first I tried to singularly do every strand of hair as a sentence... I soon realized that this was not possible... I do think it adds nice and necessary detail to the piece.



After presenting in class I was upset with the work that I presented. Instead of sitting around I decided to try and fix it. I realized that if I took away instead do more I could actually make the piece better and more appealing. I made some tweaks and ended up with what you see above. Although this assignment was easily my least favorite I believe this taught me the most about myself, because when I failed I did not stop I instead tried to better myself and the assignment.

The Cyclops

This was one of the first times in the class that I took what I learned and try to turn into something. I present the the cyclops... don't be fooled by its basic appearance... it took me a long time to make this. I am very proud of this example and believed it helped me in the creative part of the class.

AUTOSCOPY

 This assignment was probably the most cathartic assignment I worked on. The goal of the Autoscopy was to take a picture of yourself and to express something deep and personal to you. My beginning photo was definitely an interesting choice, most prominently because the lack of detail on my face. But this was an artistic choice and was necessary to the message I was trying to send. This is my autoscopy I used an image of a brain scan of someone with Alzheimers. The reasoning for this is because I have a family history of Alzheimers and it has been something difficult that I have had dealt with in the past. This is also something that  myself might have to deal with later in life. Like death the idea of being forgotten and forgetting is difficult to process. Since I couldn't put my fear and anxiety into words I decided to put it into this piece.  After completing my Autoscopy the assignment called to experiment with exporting the image as a GIF. I made many different versio...

POSTER

Image
 Finally I get to talk about this assignment. The poster project was one of the best most liberating and fun assignments I have ever worked on. Everything just worked. The idea just came to me and it was exciting enough to fuel me to work on it immediately.  This was the photo I started off with. My whole idea stemmed from some of my conflicts with religion. Although I respect anyone that is religious and finds joy and purpose within religion I personally have a disconnect and can't bring my self to believe in a religion. I used fake blood on my photo and placed my hands over my face. I didn't want it to look like I was overtly praying but I wanted something that looked close enough, I think the final result looks like I am either praying or ashamed. lastly I wanted to be looking up to add to the meaning of the project. This is the end result. I was incredibly happy with how this assignment turned out. Everything just felt right and I had zero problems or troubles in completin...
