1000 Final

Finally Finished and installed my 1000 project! I’m extremely happy with the outcome. After hours and hours of work and super gluing my fingers together it was done!

The story goes back how my dad and I would play video games and listen to a lot of music together. The black is the bad and the cd pieces are the good, even though they’re shattered and broken because he passed away in 2008.

Draw 1000

I redid my draw 100 project this weekend. I put more of my story of my 1000 project into it. I did my cd, but cracked in half and over come with vines and leaves, kind of going off what Michael said in class about my first one.Half of the cd is missing as my dad is missing from my life. (he passed away in 2008) however, the time we spent playing games and listening to music endlessly is what helped me grow into what and who i am today.

Avant-Garde

I came from an extremely small school. (One hallway, 39 people in my graduating class) and then I came to a large college of 30,000+ students.Its been kinda culture shock for me since I’m not use to such huge crowds and strangers around me. So, for my avant-garde project my medium was shirts from both my high school and college, and I had to do it in front of a group of people in public. It turned out it wasn’t really in public but it was a group of people I am slowly starting to get to know, so its still public to me!

Bricks, Body, Circle.

objective, make a circle on my body with a brick. Bricks don’t really break that easily. My roommate and I were outside slamming this brick onto the ground for at least a solid 30 minutes. We were only able to get a few chunks broken off. Even a hammer didn’t work on this! In the end, it was interesting to be breaking a brick on the ground with my roommate screaming ‘for the art’ while doing it. I’m just glad random neighbors didn’t appear and question what we were doing.

Write 1000

Objective- 1000 shards of broken cd disks. This is what I picture. Shards pieced together forming whole disks. Other pieces scattered onto a canvas or other service. It’ll kinda be like a mirror of sorts. You know how the back of cd’s kinda get this blue-purple lines in them? I want to be able to see multiple of those colors throughout the shards.

Subjective- I am actually pretty excited about starting this project. Its something different that I’ve never done. 1000 pieces? That’s a lot but I predict I may possibly go over. I think people will perceive the piece very abstractly given the ‘broken’ aspect of the cd disks.

Narrative- After bouncing ideas back and forth with friends I was able to find something that meant something to me. When I was younger my dad and I would listen to a lot of music together. It was something we always did. Records, cds, tapes, anything he had laying around. Video games were another huge aspect of my childhood; again, with my dad and brother we’d spend hours playing games. So, a single disk holds endless memories for me. I mean, my dad named a cat Styx.

Welcome to my new art blog!

For a class I am taking this Spring, we need a website where we can show our work and progress shots of whatever we are working on. Also, we can post the meaning or story behind the piece. it may be a little while before anything real is posted here but soon it will be overflowing with art pieces I am working on!
