Throughout the semester, I have reflected on who I am as an artist and how much I have grown since I started. With that being said, there has been many trials and tribulations as well as failures and successes. For my 3d to 2d image, I wanted to create something that reflected on all of the projects I made this semester, the good, the bad, the successful and the failures. I decided to create a montage of all my projects in order to create a new work. Within this piece, if one looks carefully, they can see everything I have made this semester, in a new way.

My favorite project to work on was the balsa wood sculptures. For the 3D to 2D Assignment I chose to use my balsa wood sculpture. The balsa wood sculpture simulated motion through rhythm. I enjoy how one object appears to influence another, despite it being frozen or stagnant. There is a beautiful irony. The above image depicts movement, yet the picture does nothing. I feel the image replicates how people get into a motion and go through their lives being stuck in a rhythm, and despite this motion they are not moving anywhere. It is easier to get into rhythm than to challenge yourself. The color purple is the color of wisdom. Though rhythm can be safe it does not challenge the self and is therefore unwise. Furthermore, each image appears to fall, which symbolizes how easy it is to fall into a cycle of repetition.

This illustration is to show just how far you can reach if you just push through the struggles in pain in life and just soar. This builds off the meaning of the Masked Identity project, this illustration shows how when you push through the sadness, pains, and struggles in life, you not only grow as a person, but you become so much stronger and how the sky is the limit. The illustration gives a sense of hope to those who are struggling in their life and encourage them to push past it to gain an inner strength and confidence that will make them soar.

For the process, I first took the original image from my Masked Identity project and took it to photoshop. In photoshop, I used the magnetic lasso tool to select the body, the inverted the selection as to delete the background and hair from the model. I then took the photoshopped image to illustrator, sized and placed it on the background layer, then locked it in place. After that, I started creating the basic shapes of the body and mask. Once I had the basic shapes, I then created shapes to go on top of the basic form that showed where shadows and highlights were on the body. Once all the shapes were in place, I used the eyedropper tool to give the shapes correct coloring. When the body was finished, I deleted the image from the background and was able to add the hair and background and edit as needed.

I took a picture of one of my sculptures from the balsa wood project and turned it into an art magazine cover for the month of September. The magazine is titled Dépaysé, which is a French term that describes the feeling of a person being out of their comfort zone.

Heightened Senses is a mock company that sells pocket plushes to help babies sleep. Building off the meaning of my Memento project, this product is made for babies to rub their thumbs over a soft, silk area of fabric. The object is supposed to give babies a sense of security and relaxation in order to fall asleep while building on their sense of touch.

"Touch is the first sense to develop in the womb and is probably the most advanced at birth, says Dr. Yogman. Babies thrive on lots of physical contact, which makes them feel cozy and loved. "More than any other sense, touch ensures bonding between a parent and baby," says Laura Jana, MD, coauthor of Heading Home with Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality."

Memento Project

Memento is centered around a particular memory of my childhood. When I was born, my great grandfather gave me a yellow plush rabbit. The rabbit is made of pale yellow cloth and has silk ears. At about five-years-old I accidentally tore a hole on the rabbit and my mom sewed the hole back together with bright blue thread. The touch I associate with the memory is the rubbing of the silk ears. I was told that as a baby I would rub my thumb on the silk ears in order to fall asleep. 

The memento is constructed of three materials: cloth, silk, and thread. I used the blue thread to sew the yellow cloth together and measured out my own personal thumbprint for the silk. My thumbprint sits atop the piece so that when it is held the thumb naturally sits on the silk. The silk tag was also added in order to show the commercializations of the product which was originally branded with the  "Fisher Price" logo.

Materials: 

Photographs, glue, ink, acrylic paint on Bristol paper

Statement:

I printed out photos of one of my balsa wood sculptures. Next, I inked the paper green with a yellow layer over it. Then I got out my X-Acto knife and cut the pictures into sections and glued them down. Lastly, I made a blue glaze and applied it to certain areas of the collage.

3D to 2D Assignment

For this project I decided to manipulate images of my three small sculptures in order to represent one of the elements or principles that I did not choose as the focus for any of the sculptures. In order to represent symmetry, I knew that I wanted to repeat the images and rearrange them. I started by placing all three images onto one canvas on Photoshop. I then layered them on top of each other and used a linear dodge filter on the second layer and a multiply filter on the third. This created the merging effect that makes them look like a new sculpture. I repeated the new image and arranged them to create a symmetrical composition. One thing that this project made me notice is the presence of geometric shape that was in each of my original sculptures. This is mirrored and emphasized by the geometric diamond shape that formed in the center and the straight lines that were repeated.

This was a project that came to me a lot easier to me than some of the other projects. For this project, we had to choose a 3D artwork that we created in the semester and transform it into a 2D art piece. As a Graphic Design Major I'm attracted to geometric shapes and guild lines, it just my nature to have thing unified and structured. I choose my Map Relief Sculpture as my 3D form. I took pictures of the woven yarn and then made a clipping mask in Adobe Illustrator to form a cube form.I like the idea of this organic form turning into a non-organic form. I choose the colors because they were bold but not too distracting. I could see this artwork as a framed print or as an album cover fro The XX (band).

I used the positive/negative space aspects of Memory House (Map Relief Project, see image below) to create a pattern. I then filled the spaces in between with a photograph of Cat Fur Pillow (Memento Project, see image below). The result is a "dust ball house" that resonates with me personally because I have grown up with two cats in the house who shed an extreme amount and fur/dust balls float around the floor of the house.

For this project, I had to use existing photos of a previous project(s) to create a new image.  I chose to manipulate images of my paper sculpture (see below). I used Photoshop to explore shape, line, color and composition.
