3D to 2D Assignment

Final Work

Pieces that were used

Piece #1 

Piece #2

I made two separate print outs of piece number #1 than cut the body out with an exact o knife. After i took the two cut outs and carefully placed them on top of piece #2. I then scanned the two pieces. I then photoshopped and came up with my final work.

Mask Identity Project

When I started making my mask I was not sure of what my intentions were. I enjoy art that is simple and has good flow. I also enjoy symmetry in art. When my mask was finished it reminded me of a sculpture of some sort. To reflect the flow and form of the mask I decided to use a body because of the body's natural curves and symmetry. I made the photos black and white with heavy contrast in order to show the lines and shadows the body creates. I also wanted the body to look like a sculpture. I feel that the mask and the body work nicely together and complement the form of each other.

   

Response to Switch-a-roo 

In the Museum of Modern Art you can find a section of the artist Cindy Shermen where she is dressed up and photographed as hundreds of different people. It is a little bit of a weird concept until you keep listen to the recording by Ira Glass. When he was admiring the work a women came up to him and told them that she was Cindy Shermen. Glass could not figure out if the women actually was Cindy Shermen or not. It bother him so much he got Cindy Shermen on the phone to find out once and for all. After the phone conversation the real Cindy Shermen claimed it not to be her. However, just because she made that claim does not mean it actually was not her. It is a very interesting idea to think about if it actually was her or if it was not. It relates to our masked identity assignment because it brings up the question of who we really are? Or who we think we are? Or who we are pretending to be? I think that is a very interesting idea that this piece of artwork brings up. When making art i think all good pieces should earn some type of reaction. This idea by Cindy Shermen brings up a very good question with not such a simple or easy answer. 

Paper Stacking

Apple

Surfboard Paper Stacking Sculpture

My piece was inspired by a sculpture i once seen of a surfboard chopped up into 4 or 5 piece and made into a shape similar to a wave. This was my original idea for the sculpture but once I realized my wire was not going to work the way I plan I had to change my approach. This is what I came up with. At first i planned on painting the paper stack entirely but I like the color and natural look of it. I decided to paint the wood black to make the paper stand out more and create more contrast. 

(could not find a picture of the sculpture)

It's all about time

Finished soup carving

Soup Sushi

First I chopped up the second soup carving into small pieces like this. This made the sushi pieces.

Then I took the shavings of the carving and mixed them together with different color paints. This made the inside of the sushi.

I ripped pieces of paper and painted them. this made them stick and stay rolled up.

Then i painted the ooutside and added rice to give the apperences of actual sushi.
