Dots, dots, and more dots.

Last week we were given the project to draw 30 templates of 3-6 circles in the movement of Proximity, Similarity, and Continuous. 10 each. After doing this project we were critiqued by our teammates (Our table). They gave us advice on what we were continuing in each of our templates. My repeating flaws were space (how close or far from an object in each picture seemed to be the same), Size of circle (I seemed to only use 2-3 different sizes for my circles and wasnt experimenting any further), and last is that i was using lines and circles in most of the templates (Using circles and lines for continuous and proximity over and over again).

2nd Project!

Ok, so our second project was to make 3 spheres out of cardboard. Difficult huh? Just a bit! But not worries, i got it down eventually. The real struggle of the whole thing is that of course, cardboard=box, not cardboard=cirlce. The first one dealt with the skin of the sphere. My skin sphere was a series of pentagons and triangles, which came together to form an almost soccer ball looking object. My second sphere mainly depended on the middle bringing it together. My ball came out looking like a spikey flower. The concept seemed easy, but was more difficult, seeing as i had to cut out nearly 100 pieces for this one. The last one was by far the hardest, but easiest one out of them all. The final sphere had to be made without glue! How you say?? Slots, slots, slots. The way i pictured it in my head was not the way it turned out, but i was still content with my final projects.


First day of Wash

My first day of Wash was really fun and entertaining. We were given the assignment to narrow ourselves down to fantasy or nightmare, man or woman, deciding job, human or object, etc. I decided upon a pirate! After concluding what we were, we were given a ton of newspaper, in which we made objects/clothes to help the audience guess what we were supposed to be. It was really interesting.
