sophomore year art - spring

here is the second half of the work I produced this year.
I created a slide show near the end of my advanced digital photography class so I'm including that here, and then I've put the few photos from the class that I took after I put that together in a new slide show with my 3D design work.

that's all folks. thanks for watching!

second year art recap - fall

this last year I produced a bit more art than the past one, so I've decided to post the semesters separately and put the work into the form of a slide show so as not to become overwhelming.



if you want a little more info, or perhaps more pictures, you can see the posts from the classes by using the links below. (though I posted some drawing and design work together so there might be some overlap)

stay tuned for the spring recap!

first year art recap

creative endeavors.

I just had the urge to title this "she's so crafty." maybe from now on I'll be calling these posts that name. consider yourself warned.
anyways, here are some little projects I've put together recently.

I got some awesome paint markers not too long ago and I've been having a great time with them. I used them to make this kind of doodle painting.


(with an elephant naturally!)

then I made this little bookmark with gouache. it had been forever since I'd used it, and I don't think I had done any projects outside of class with the paint so this was fun.




lastly is this mixed media piece I made for mother's day. it was a hot mess for a while and had to come together in a rather short amount of time, but I really like how it turned out.

creative endeavors.

this is an exciting post to write, because this post is about my last ever project for 3D design ever!
for this we were supposed to be creating a display or "merchandiser" for a product, out of foam core. I chose a light bulb as my product, and after a lot of ideas I ended up going with a sort of electricity/lighting inspiration. I enjoyed this because it allowed me to do something a lot more angular than usual, however I can't say I loved the project. I made a ton of failed mock-ups and fought with the foam core a lot, so I was pretty ready to be done by the end, but I like how it turned out so we'll say it was a success.

here's some of the inspiration that I worked with at the beginning.



and here is the finished product.



and that's all folks.

creative endeavors.

for this project we had to create a freestanding structure with no adhesive, inspired by a natural object, with individual units that could hold an egg.

I chose an okra for my natural object.




here is some of the construction process.



and here is the structure before the eggs, assembled using different methods of slitting and slotting.


this is the finished piece with eggs. (which I spray painted to look more earthy and interesting). it's supposed to have a radial feel similar to the cross-section of the okra.




that's all.

things that make my day: light edition.

here are a few photos of some interesting light and lines I've seen lately. both times I saw it and couldn't help but take a few pictures. it's just sorta beautiful.









that's all.

what happens when the weather gets nice.

we head to the park and read on the dock.





model faces.






our little friend donald. he likes twizzlers too.

weekend adventures.

final fridays this weekend. it's always a good time.









(I love interactive art)


I also love henna elephants. total win.


there's really no need to say much. the work kinda speaks for itself, but definitely an animal thing going on. too good. I love lawrence.
