conceptual project

This activity we did in class was interesting. I found that there could be any combination of shapes. The little thumbnails that we picked will never be picked in the same order therefore the pattern will always vary no matter how many times we repeat the activity. This reminds me of little games such as dots that children play. I thought this activity was intricate and well thought out.

my performance proposal

To perform my proposal get three or four of your friends and stand together in a circle then close your eyes. The idea is to reach out in front and to either side of you and try to guess what material they're wearing.

My proposal was not very complicated. It was rather simple and straight forward. I think it would have worked out better if i found people who had a bigger variety of clothing.

Be very careful when you are reaching out to the people around you not to grab any offensive arias.

This activity was fun. It was interesting and unique. Pat has some pretty fun ideas, the string activity and now this. This activity was fun because it allowed us to be free. We could make whatever face we wanted. What was interesting about this activity was that even though we were facing back to back we could use the mirrors to see each others funny faces. The mirrors made this assignment really cool. The further you got from your partner the smaller their face got. The fact that we had to make funny faces was really cool. When we were close the face in the mirror looked funny but the further away and smaller the image got in your own mirror the funnier it got. Pat was my partner. She mimicked every face that i made. It got really hard to keep a straight face the smaller and smaller the image of Pat got in my mirror. Trying to make funny faces when an increasingly smaller image of the same funny faces that you are making is really hard.

the bride???????

well here we see the bride... this piece has no actual representation of a bride. i cannot see the bride. i think thats really stupid. stupid because it does not make sense. if the title is the bride shouldn't you be able to tell that there is some kind of representation of a bride? you don't really need characters to convey subject matter but it defiantly helps. the shapes are really random and they don't have a continuous theme.
even though this piece does not make any literal sense it is very figurative. the shapes in the upper left symbolize the bride. the cloud and the empty space leaves room for you to think about what else should be there.
i think overall this piece is "OK" in my opinion it's really not that good because you get no impression of what it means or what it's about. there is no subject matter at all. I'm not saying that you need subject matter to convey your ideas but a little subject matter would make this piece better i think, because you would not have to sit here and try to figure out what the piece is about.

PATERN REPETITI0N

my composition for the first image was a graduation hat rotated four times to create the illusion of squares of empty white space. the assignment we had to do today was interesting. i liked the fact that we had to rotate the original image in different combinations. im not sure what combination i like most but im sure the more i look at them the more ill be able to decide.
i don't completely understand the parameters for this assignment so im waiting for to talk to Pat about it to print.
