Final-Morgue
I chose to paint my college house which is named “Morgue”. I painted my house because I have created some of my favorite memories here with my 6 roommates. It’s definitely a painting i’ll keep and cherish forever!
This is great!! Morgue will always have such a special place in my heart
For my final project, first I painted my college house as my favorite place from my college experience. I chose this because it will always be such a special place to me! Next, I created a spiral of dandelions in my backyard. And for the last project I wanted to keep my message sweet and simple. I thought this was a good message as a reminder to always do good for yourself and for others.:)
This is awesome Macy! I loved that you painted our home 🥺
Final Part 3
For my last piece I decided to paint my favorite bar, which is the Burton. This place is very sentimental to me because it’s where I met my best friends and even worked at this year. I have so many great memories at the Burton and am so sad to be leaving it and the people I’ve met through it in these next few upcoming days.
Final Part 2
I was between a few ideas, but decided to make my message, “make today great”. I have always believed that any day can be a great one with the right attitude. We choose how to live our lives and if you go into every day with a positive mindset and a sense of optimism, as opposed to a negative one, you can make the best of any situation and find enjoyment in anything.
Final Part 1
I made a path with sticks. It almost resembles a question mark because we don’t always know where we’re going, but it’s always somewhere we end up needing to be.
For the surrealism project I made a pair of sandals out of a Blue Light box, these are great for the warm weather we are starting to have here is Allegany!
Great sandals macy! Perfect for this spring weather
Street Art
For my street art, I tried to recreate Keith Haring’s untitled (DJ) piece from 1983. I thought this one may be fun to do since I DJ at the Burton. Similar to Keith’s work, I tried to include lines to show movement.
Earth Art
For my project I chose to make a spiral out of rocks. Spirals symbolize the cycle of life. The shape is one of the oldest and most puzzling sacred images known. They were first thought of beginning with the ancient Greek and they appear in nearly every single society in the ancient world. Additionally, they are one of the earliest examples of human creative expression.
Feminism
For my feminism project, I laid down in the grass and had one of my roommates trace me with the leaves. Then I collected more leaves to fill in the trace of my body. I chose to use leaves because they reflect the changing seasons, and being a senior I’m also about to experience a lot of change after I graduate.
Eva Hesse Inspired
For this weeks assignment, I chose to base my work off of Eva Hesse’s first piece shown in the slides. I took inspiration from some of her shapes that she used and the colors. I wanted to play around with negative space like she did as well as play with the different bigger shapes and colors to see how it would affect the mood of the drawing. To create this I used marker and colored pencils on plain paper.
For my arte povera piece I incorporated an orange peel as the trash component.
Wow! I think you did a great job of taking this assignment and making it your own. The detail in this piece is amazing and I love the idea of using the orange peels!
For my portrait I chose to draw my friend Lyndsay. I chose to use colored pencils to show the different colors. I also chose to use Lyndsay as my model because she has a very bright and happy personality and I thought the colors I chose represented that.
Macy I love this portrait you made of me! I like that you associated me with bright colors and also your decision to include a background. I love how this turned out!!
Arte Povera Movement
For this piece I used the end of a paper towel roll as the body of my sculpture, which I drew a tie on. I also used empty glasses for the legs and bendy straws for his arms. I drew a face on a clementine and attached it to the body as the head. Finally, I found a necklace with a shot glass attached to it and placed it on one of the straws.
Pop Art
For this assignment, I chose my friend Tom Seipp who I feel carries the spirit of Barbara Streisand and who I chose to interview.
1. What’s you advice on staying confident for the next generation who sees ridiculous beauty standards on social media?
“While there are many positives to social media, the faults of it may be greater. People can fall into mental traps after a simple scroll through their social media feed. Seeing celebrities look “perfect” can cause people to change their beliefs about their own looks. My advice to individuals who see the unrealistic content is: don’t try to be someone you aren’t. Most of the time, the people you see on social media don’t actually look like they portray themselves on their posts. As long as you’re satisfied with you appearance is all that should matter.”
2. How is rebelling against beauty standards a part of your life?
“Well, personally it may be difficult for me to “rebel” against standards, but it’s very possible to do so in small ways. There are outfits or appearances that are “socially expected.” If you take “risks” and have a different appearance or outfit than others expect you to, those are small ways to “rebel” against the standards.”
3. Who is inspiring you these days to love yourself and break free from societal boxes that you may have grown up with or still experience today?
“I have a good friend named Charlie who has showed me through his own experiences that it’s ok to branch out through appearances. He has shown me that even though people our age may all be wearing one type of outfit, we can “be ourselves” and portray a different appearance that we feel comfortable in. He has helped me break out of the “societal box” of the socially expected appearance and reminds me to stay true to who I am and can be.”
For my collage, I used picture that represents things that I had or used during my childhood. I chose Lizzie McGuire for the center because I thought she represented me and my nickname growing up was Lizzie. I put J-14 and Seventeen magazine because I used to read those. I also included Webkinz and Poptropica because those were targeted to kids my age.
I really like this collage that you put together. I had a lot of the same interests growing up like webkinz and poptropica. I also really like the way you organized it!
I used decaffeinated tea for my self portrait and it came out pretty unclear until I used multiple layers. I incorporated my favorite number and it came out somewhat smudgy on my face but I couldn’t really erase lol.
I really like your self portrait. I think you did a great job depicting yourself and your interest in athletics.
For my pop culture moment painting I chose the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp lawsuit case. In this case, Johnny Depp was suing Amber Heard for defamation when she released that Johnny Depp had been abusing her during their marriage resulting in many brands and companies dropping their endorsements with him. In the end, it was found that Amber Heard was the one who had been abusing Johnny Depp during that time and won the lawsuit.
I think this pop culture moment was important because it showed that men can be victims of domestic violence just as much as women can. It also showed the power of social media with the outpouring of support for Johnny during this time.
I thought this trial and all of the media surrounding it was very interesting. The trial actually took place 20 minutes from my house and I followed a lot of it. I agree though that it was important to show that men can be victims as well.
