Exercise No. 1 - Three Objects


I chose to photograph these three items since each of these have been gifted to me from some friends. The first object is a dog toy Minion. I recieved this along side item three as a gift exchange back in my freshmen year. This gift was given to me as a gag gift. This holds importance to me since it was a niche thing that the person remembered and used that to determine my gift. This has been the main item I love showing off. The second is a plastic flower. I received it as a random gift in sophomore year by another friend. This person would use the flower as an excuse to come visit my dorm and check on me - asking why the flowers weren't front and center of everything and we would just go on from there. I store this with my small collection of tiny things (includes McDonald's Happy Meal toys, pins, and squishy animals) to make the flowers stand out the most. The third one is a knitted beanie. This was also given to me by a different person at the gift exchange. This person knitted the beanie themselves, which I feel is important to note and appreciate. This is an item I wish I could show off more given the work put into it, and this is my chance to show it off. She worked on it for 3-4 weeks during the Christmas break. She added the cat ears knowing I like cats, and it allowed her to put her knitting skills to use. It turned out to be a really good beanie. Overall, I'm so grateful for receiving these things given how they each have a different story behind them.

Your Project Proposal Blog Post & Presentation

 I have a couple of ideas for potential art installations. 1.      An installation based on the game Overcooked. It's a cooking game where you need to put out as many orders as possible; it has various foods to cook, many levels to play through, and is somewhat story -based. For this, I'd want to 3-D print some Overcooked characters and have them scattered throughout the place. I could use cardboard to recreate the Overcooked sign and/or cut out some background objects that are in the game. I would also set up the game in the background. What I would want to be the center of attention is food. I would want to make some food that would also be made in the game as well. I want to make this an interactive installation where people can play the game and eat food too. This installation would be set up in the Gaming House lobby. My only issue, however, would be the expenses for the ingredients.  2.      An installation of my room. Above is a drawn-out layout of my side of the room wh

Exercise No. 2 - Ten Spaces

This is a picture of a wall from the place I work. It's one of the very few spots that have no merchandise on it. This wall shows it consisting of mostly brick and a cement base. However, despite the appearance, it's not real brick. I honestly don't know what it is; I just know it's hollow. I chose to take this picture since I spend a good amount of time at my work, so I might as well get some homework done while I'm there. Also, seeing it so empty made it feel like it was a neutral enough background for me to include in this post. Would I work with this background for an installation? No. Although it would be cool to make a grunge scenery, I doubt that I'll be able to pull off an installation at my work lol. This is a picture of the right side of the Gaming House lobby. I chose specifically this area because I also spend a good amount of time here. This is the one area I'll spend time with friends to game and/or chit-chat. This area is neutral in its surrou

*Draft* Final Project - Self-Designed New Media Work

 One of the projects I would like to do is some sort of animation. I would like to tie this in with my Advanced Drawing class assignment since I plan on doing a somewhat animation for that. I would be starting these projects around the same time but ending the Advanced Drawing project earlier than this final project, so instead of dropping it, I can continue it in this class. I would draw out 3 seconds worth of animation on the sketchpads provided for us from that class, and then continue the animation on a software. I don't think I will actually get through a whole song, but I anticipate at least getting a part of a song animated. Some songs on my mind are the bridge + ending for Taylor Swift's Now That We Don't Talk , the chorus for Marina and the Diamond's Froot , or some part of an Olivia Rodrigo song (not sure which song of hers).  Another project I had in mind was combining 2D and 3D things in a photo. I would take multiple pictures of random activities or exchang
