Mosted Wanted

 For my final project I created a wanted poster of the top 9 most valuable players in the NHL. It was really to make fun of their statistic pictures looking like mugshots. It is simple cut lines but everything is symmetrical and even to match up with the 'formality' of the piece. Next to the poster are the statistics of each player and their reward, or how much they make per year/season.

Final Project Struggles

For my final project, I struggle with how open this one could be. I was only left with print/multiples and I thought that it would have been easy. However, I struggled with it. I think that the assignment was free shook me up and gave me too many possibilities. I wanted the assignment to be free but at the same time I wanted to be told what theme I should do. I am glad, however, that it was free. It pushed me to think a little more than I had to this semester and gave me a chance to do something that I was passionate about. I believe that this worked out for the best. But I wish I had thought of something longer ago because putting this together was a little more time consuming than I had originally planed it to be.

Final Project

I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my final project but since then I had some ideas come into my head. I am not sure what I want to do or when I will have the time to do it. I think that in class I'll talk with some people about it. At least I know a general idea. I thought I was going to do a multiples piece on hockey but then I thought of some weird creepy idea that I could do as a print. I don't know which one is stronger at this point and which one I will be able to execute with the best I can. I guess I'll just need more than just my opinion on this one.

Power

I know that this is late but this is my project on power. I thought I was going to have issues with it. I didn't think the class would take to well on a topic of war. I know there are some strong minded people in that class when it comes to subjects like this but I am glad that it ended up going over smoothly. The one thing I was nervous about was the play back. My speakers aren't very good so i thought the sound would have been really staticie and no one would understand what was happening in the peice. I was able to get a lot of good feed back and appreciated that. If i was to go back I would make it longer and maybe have that event that everyone was waiting for.

BFA Show

I went to see the show after its opening after class one day. It was really something else. There were a lot of things that I had enjoyed. However, there were a few that really caught my eye. The Endeavors piece was so hilarious. Where she had taken a couples picture of her with different boys. I couldn't stop laughing. At first I didn't really pay attention and thought it was some weird conceptual piece but when I REALLY looked at it was when I noticed the actual pictures. Another piece that I had enjoyed were the large figure drawings that were half painted. Well the skin was painted. It was really cool and made me think about how it revealed the subject almost. I like that sort of thing. The hot dog thing didn't sit well with me only because I could only image what it'll look like after being inside a warm building for a while. I didn't even want to know what it would smell or look like. Seeing this show had got me thinking of what I want to do for some own personal projects. I won't be in a BFA because I am a BA but I can still work on things to that scale.

Mountains

Yesterday my friend and I went up to Chimney Rock near Lake Lure. It was so much fun! I took my sketchbook with me and when we were down by the river that runs behind the place that we had lunch at. It had me thinking about what I wanted to do for my final project. All I have left is the prints/ multiple but I don't want to do something so cliche. Everyone has seen mountains and rivers and pretty pretty so I probably won't do anything with what I had. But the scenery was beautiful for the time of year. It wasn't peak season but it was actually still very cool. I used to go up there all the time when I was little and then again with girl scouts, but this was good. I will probably go up to blue ridge next year with my friend, maybe then I'll take some paints or something else I can do with another studio class.

Pre Power project

I know we haven't even gone through the first part or anything but i'm ready. I went to an air show this past Saturday and the power behind these machines from WWII and some from the Korean war. The ending scene was Tora Tora Tora Tora and was insane. I have so many ideas and I think that I am going to use the sound from these powerful machines. I am excited to start this project.
