Inflatopia, or whatever.


DEADMAU5!!!

It was kinda hard to communicate...

There were a couple of malfunctions.

Daniel pretty much made this kid's day.

Final Poster

For my final poster I used the quote "Now keep my fingers from making mistakes"

Modular Madness



For my modular madness, I used straws. I tried a couple things before I decided to go with this, like hot gluing them together (bad idea). What I did was string all the straws together just using a needle and a piece of thread. I just kinda let them fall where ever they wanted. Sometimes they would spin in groups or they would all just turn in different directions.

Human Compositions


















QUOTESSSS!

  1. It's just my humble opinion
  2. You give up every chance you get
  3. I never saw it coming
  4. Will you always find an escape?
  5. A memory remains just a tiny spark
  6. Now keep my fingers from making mistakes
  7. It's about what you stand for
  8. 'cause without love I won't survive
  9. Its not be this complicated
  10. Pardon me for my lack of excitement

Process write up- Live Performance

For my live performance the idea just kinda popped in my head, and I went with it. It seemed like it would be fun, who doesn't love huffing helium? That sounds kinda bad.

Process write up- Uncomfortable

Yet again, I was stumped when it came to coming up with ideas for the videos. I just eventually decided to sit in front of the camera and not look at it, like avoiding eye contact with someone. Somehow, Jake and Rachel ended up being in it. With him randomly dancing, and her just being a straight up creeper.

Process write up- Monologue

So, I wasn't really a hundred percent sure what I was going to do for my monologue. At first I started just trying to ramble on about nothing, and that just didn't go well. I learned that I can act like the biggest idiot in the world, but as soon as you put me on the other side of the camera I'm just kinda like "umm... I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing here..." But, when it came down to actually coming up with something for my project, Paige suggested that I sit there and count as fast as I can in 60 seconds. Which turned out to be successful.

Final Four Dots

For the critique of my circles, my group said things like I had wide variety in the placement of my circles, and that I had a good variation in size. But I did have an average of mostly big dots, and had a lot of one certain size, which was a Gatorade top. I didn’t have any really small dots though. I think the smallest size that I had was the top of a hand sanitizer keychain I have. The majority of all my circles went in some general direction, also. On the page of circles that is on the bottom right, my proximity one, my group suggested that I move the five bottom dots a little bit further away from the larger one on the top, to kind of spread it out a little bit more. I think that the pages of dots that my group picked were some of my strongest ones, so I really didn’t feel the need to choose any other ones. Sorry that this isn’t exactly long enough, but I’m not quite sure what else to write.





Sorry it's out of order.






Lecture Summary, Sept. 3




What is art?
  • Something an artist thought of: requires effort
  • An image of a person
  • You like the way it looks
  • An artifact, something someone made
  • There has to be a conscious decision that went into making the piece
To Present of Re-present
  • representation- one thing stands in for another
Styles of Representation
  • naturalistic- nature
  • realistic- true to life
  • stylized- simplified to emphasize important detail
  • abstract- highly stylized
