TRANSCRIPT
The purpose of this project was to use juxtaposi2on in an art piece. These pages show the earlier stages of the project, including the brainstorming of points of ini2al interest and some background research on the history of juxtaposi2on in artwork.
This page shows more of my ini2al brainstorming, as I began to access my own level of skill to decide what I could experiment with.
This page shows my synthesis for Ai Weiwei, who served as one of my inspira2ons while doing this project
This page shows my synthesis for Song Dong, who was the other ar2st in my comparison and also served as inspira2on while doing this project.
This page was the beginning of my brainstorming once I had decided on a major theme, and have moved on the determining the imagery in the piece
These are the beginning of my media experiments with an acrylic transfer technique I learned in class. I used different materials to do the transfer on canvas and used the results of this to refine my overall concept for the piece.
This page shows the process of making the artwork aFer planning. There are addi2onal reflec2on points along the way detailing errors made during the produc2on as poten2al things to avoid in the future.
These pages show more media experiments once I had finally decided on the image itself. These experiments included edi2ng small details of the image, along with some addi2onal ideas and the and final product outcome.
This is the first page of my process for our busts project. We were being taught to use clay, so this is my note taking on the processes that I was learning for making busts.
This is my ar2st synthesis for our bust sculpture project. I compared Jun Kaneko and Ah Xian with the art-‐o-‐ma2c program before wri2ng an ar2st comparison.
This is my con2nued experimenta2on with sculp2ng the features of the bust, including building up the basic facial structures and crea2ng the shoulders.
These pages show the final stages of sculp2ng, including making the eyes, ears, and lips. There were a lot of challenges that I had to cope with involving dimensions and making the bust look as natural as possible. There is also my thoughts on the final product and my reflec2on of the en2re process.
These pages are the beginning of my “The Gaze” project, including my inspira2on for the piece (one-‐line drawings), my brainstorming (the incorpora2on of eyes into the piece) , and my reflec2on on my first experiment/aSempt at my idea.
These pages are my process in my second aSempt at my “The Gaze” idea, aFer taking into account the issues that I had with the first piece. I documented a lot of my process with the new medium that I had chosen, and my more methodical drawing compared to the older piece. There are also my final thoughts on the finished piece.
Synthesis This is my art-‐o-‐ma2c synthesis for Laylah Ali and Zhang Xiaogang. I used this informa2on to later write an ar2st comparison as inspira2on for my later projects.
This is my planning for the “Text and Image” project we were assigned. I wanted to use a character that I had been drawing frequently at the 2me, and I u2lized many of the varia2ons of that character I had done up to that point. The second page includes one of the pieces in a diptych, and my final thoughts on it.
This is my process in crea2ng the second piece, including my ideas on how to make it similar to the first piece, but s2ll unique. A lot of aspects of the second piece were based on reflec2ons of the first, and I include my reflec2on on this piece, including the pain2ng of the background which I was very unhappy with.
These pages show the beginning of the “Baldheads” project, which was an original idea of mine. This includes my vision for the pain2ng, the beginning stages, and my inten2ons for what I would do with the pain2ng as I progressed in pain2ng.
These pages mostly show the “Baldheads” process, as I ran into some issues and discovered new things while in the process of pain2ng. There are several reflec2on points along the way that sum up my final thoughts on the pain2ng.
This is the beginning of my second “Baldheads” project, with a slightly different origin of inspira2on which lead to a different aesthe2c quality. It also includes my planning, and the beginning stages of the pain2ng as I experiment with darker colors and more difficult shapes of the human body.
These pages detail the process of pain2ng, as well as addi2onal inspira2on that I pulled from the pain2ngs of other ar2sts while I was mid-‐process. There are also several reflec2on points since I had some issues with the dimensions of the bodies, and had to change some aspects of my ini2al vision of the pain2ng.
These pages are my ar2st research on Alan Resnick, who influenced me to aSempt digital media in my art projects. I detail some aspects of his prac2ce that are especially interes2ng to me and some of the digitally based works that he has done.
This is the beginning process of my gifs project. The process was quite long and challenging so these are the beginning photographic and Photoshop experimenta2on phases of the project.
