Final Computer Project

These are the images that I created for our final computer project. We had to do something autobiographical, so I recreated portraits of myself with old photographs of my grandmother and some scanned objects found in her house. The soldiers are scanned images, and they were all hand painted by my grandpa. There are literally hundreds of them in their house, and I always remember him by them.

Tank Man!

I never posted this! This was our "Tank Man" project, we had to recreate the famous tank man photograph that was taken after the student protests at Tienanmen Square. I used photoshop, and scanned in a lot of objects in order to recreate my image.

Reworked Text Drawing

This was the first project we did in this class, and I reworked it a long time ago I just never reposted it. This was done in illustrator, and is made up of altered letter forms, 'v' and 'o'.

Modules

These are the images that my 3D teacher took of my completed module project during our crit. I am really happy with how they came out! Especially since I put so much time into them, and named my mold and everything. :)

Last Lecture!

Last week Sarah Zwerling gave our lecture. I was really intrigued by the idea of blown sugar! I had never heard of that before. I thought her installation pieces were interesting, but like she said you can't really photograph or capture an installation with video. It's one of those things where you need to be in the room experiencing it. Because of that I think that some of her pieces were somewhat lost in the translation. I thought some of her photoshop images were really beautiful, but I didn't like some of the collaging she did with the flowers and birds she made out of paper. I think some of them just looked stuck on. The work she did for the airport was really interesting and beautiful, I can't believe she had to cut out each little individual branch and leaf. I cannot even imagine how long that must have taken her. When she began explaining her process and everything that went wrong I appreciated all the work she put into them so much more.
