Final Project For Mash-Up

Translucency Project

In this project I was continuing my theme of evolution through time (past, present, and future). I used found organic material, paper cut outs of past animals and plants, drawings on paper towel of futuristic animals, and a human skull drawn from Sharpie in the middle.









The Pattern And Repetition Project

Although I didn't follow the guidelines fully the project still made my theme and statement come though. In the piece my statement is on the new age of food and how pesticides and genetically modified food is ruining more than just our health.



The Curator Project

Juxtaposition Project

In this project we were to make a project using different types of stitches that we learned. It had to relate to our theme (Evolution) and contain two different types of stitches. Mine were the running stitch and the backstitch. My project is supposed to relate to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and make a statement about human rights.

Reflection Nov. 1


Looking Back:
  • Finished my patterns and repetition project
  • Started thinking of an idea for the juxtaposition project

Takeaways:

  • I'm having trouble thinking of a juxtaposition project
