Art for department

The department I wanted to go into was comm arts, the assignment was to illustrate a word. I chose serenity. I used a familiar medium  pencil, and a new one which was a new computer program, which I used to do the line work and the background in.

Surface Final: Concept Art

Performance Piece

For my performance piece I created a fake tour of the Lincoln and Washington Memorials. This project was more of a test for myself than to see other's reactions to it. I have extreme stage fright and hate being in front of people or fooling others, so to have an assignment that was exactly that was very challenging. In preparation for the tour I came up with a script of facts about the two memorials that would sound relatively real but completely untrue. I also made a sign saying free tours. When I went out to do my tours it was an extremely cold and windy day. I tried getting some people to bite with my "Free Tours" sign, and I also looked the part, but no one took the bait. Eventually I gave up on the sign and started going up to people to ask them directly if they wanted a free tour. After getting snubbed and denied several times I finally got someone to take me up on my offer. I did my full tour with her and then parted ways. I was expecting to have a group of people but just getting one person made the whole experience, to me, very successful.

Art for Another

I made an art piece especially for another person in my class, namely Kate. I created this piece so she could understand it because she has sever dyslexia so I used spanish newspaper for the vase and english newspaper for the flowers, I also marked up the spanish newspaper because Kate told me she has a long standing relationship with red pen, which I can understand since she's dyslexic. The flowers have the significance of her blossoming into understanding and slowly overcoming her dyslexia. I know its sappy but I felt it would be a piece she would understand.
