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 where I would want to set up my installation. The highlighted portion is under the bed, so kind of like a secluded spot. I feel like it'd be easier to set something up there given that I would have the freedom to do anything in there. However, I don't really have an idea of what exactly I'd want to set up. I'm thinking of hanging up my past artworks and pictures I've taken to make that an installation, but I don't want it to be mistaken as just casual room decor either. Another idea would be to use my materialistic items (plushies, makeup, comic books, etc), but same issue as the other idea.



3.     An emo installation. I'm not sure how I would execute that, but I don't see a lot of emo rep at this school. If anything, I would see if I could get a group of people to dress in an alternative fashion and display alt stuff around the area. I also wouldn't know where to have this installation, especially since there's not a lot of darkened areas on campus; luckily though there are a lot of dull areas, so I could draw out the background and put it up somewhere. I feel like this would be the easiest one to go through imo.

    I'm curious about your emo installation idea. To start, I think it would be good to define what you mean by "emo". I feel like there are a lot of cultural misconceptions and stereotypes of this, and if you want to expand representation it would be good to clarify your intentions of why this subculture is important, what are its components and significance. I think there's a lot of potential here for the types of space you do it in too, there are some interesting almost cave like spaces that I think would work really well like in basements and under stairwells, but again I think it'd be helpful to clarify your intention and definition before you choose. Excited to see where you take it!

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
