Final Project



My thought process for my final project will be coming up with a bunch of things that have meaning to me and tying them all together some how. I plan on tying in what we learned about Walker and how he expresses his emotion in his artwork in my piece. I plan on doing my final project on a collage of pictures of family, friends, items of my favorite things and just a bunch of me put into one project. I plan on using all the techniques that we have went over during the quarter, along with coming up with a few of my own.

I plan on brainstorming and gathering pictures of my friends and family, and combine them both together in a final project somehow. I plan on using conceptual unity.

Notes:
Big word: Unity
conceptual; idea behind it
Unity---Variety

My final project contained pictures that mean a lot to me in my life. This includes a picture of my dog, my family, my best friends, and the beach. I dissolved the pictures into my background picture to try and make it look like the beach was the main part for my project. I went through the process by what means more to me, what I wanted to add in my picture, and what kind of text that would finalize it. I used a total of five pictures. My word was unity, and to me that meant my family, my friends and things that are very important to me in my life that I couldn't live with out. I loved all the pictures I added and am overall very pleased with how my final turned out!

Blog Project 5


My two words: To dapple; to impress
I chose to use my macbook computer as an item I use every day. I decided I couldn't add spots like this to my real computer, so I decided to use photoshop for all additions. I added the spots because to dapple means to add spots. I added a jeweled out apple symbol in the middle, and picked a picture from google and added it where the apple symbol would be. I added a bunch of different types of spots and even downloaded different shapes off the web. I chose different sizes to make the spots show up more. The process I went through while making my final outcome of this was to use both of my words which were to impress and to dapple, and to add them to one of my favorite item I use through out the whole day.

Super power

I chose the super power to be in two places at once. A lot of time instead of going to class, there are a lot more things I want to be doing. With the super power of having the ability to be in two places at once allows me to be present in class and learn, and also sleep. Another reason why I would want to be in two places at once would be when I'm working, I would rather be hanging out with my friends or getting other things done. This super power would be awesome to have. I thought for a long time what I would want to be, and this was in my top 3 list. The only thing I would change about my project is to express more how I could be in two places at once.

PROJECT 3





I chose adding Let's go Bucks to the Ohio State Stadium. I chose adding this to show more support for our Ohio State Buckeye football team. I am a huge fan of the Bucks, and this is my way of showing my support. I added a text box and use an italic font to make it look a little fancy. I want people to look at this and gain more support when being at this stadium and cheering on the Buckeyes!

Walking to class

On the first day of classes at the Ohio State University, I had a lot of mixed emotions with finding my class, being on time, and timing my walk perfectly. I brought a map with me to help my find my way, although campus is still pretty confusing. I walked from my house on Summit to the Ohio State Stadium. I used the map to figure out what buildings I would be passing and what path I should be taking. Every morning I have to make sure I have enough time to walk from my house to class. I usually take the same route, I walk on high street and then make a left right before lane. I sometimes walk with the same people, and pass the same buildings. On my first day I was a little worried about not being able to find my way around the stadium, but the signs that you put up on the doors helped a lot!
