For my painting I chose to paint the tree in front of the chapel. I love the pink colors the trees have when their blooming, and they’re my favorite part of campus because they remind me that summer is on its way! The hardest part of the painting was the shadow under the tree. Even though I didn’t get it exactly right I am still happy with the final product. I used a sponge to get the details of the tree and am very happy with how the flowers turned out.

For the earth art portion of the final I created a spiral out of dark rocks since the surface was a lighter shade. Since everything was non living and different shades of brown, I decided to add grass and flowers to add some living elements as well. I really like how the juxtaposition of the rocks and grass look and how it gives the spiral more depth and character. The meaning of the whole piece represents how there can be different parts and moods of a person but at the center, when looking at who they truly are, there can be goodness.

For the getting your voice out there assignment I decided to make a hopscotch with the message “just keep moving forward.” I wanted to make the message interactive and felt the saying went well with the hopscotch. I used different colors to make it more cheerful and inspirational.

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.

My Keith Haring inspired chalk drawing was a person holding up a heart.

Triangles have been used in art for centuries. They have been used for a variety of purposes, whether it was to translate a message, portray relationships, cycles, or balance, and even the triangular theory of vision that was developed during the Renaissance. This theory is that triangles can work to create depth in a piece, especially towards the horizon in a landscape. Symbolically though, triangles can represent strength with a strong base/ foundation that can withstand great pressure and allow for growth.

For my project I outlined my body by moving leaves out of the way and then placing sticks to outline my arms, legs, sides, and head. I also put pieces of a pine tree in to make a face because I thought it was fun.

I chose the first choice of Eva Hesse’s work. I used markers to create this piece and I reinterpreted the original artwork by using different arrangements of the same shapes and color blocking that she used.

Thinking about what to make for my trash sculpture, digging through the trash I found nothing. I turn around and hit over a cup of dried parsley. That was it, the star of it all. I was looking in the wrong place the whole time.

I really enjoyed reading about the process to make this!

For my arte provera artwork, I painted a background onto a random piece of wood that I found. While the paint was still wet I attached pieces of dryer lint that I found in the trash.

For my art collage I interviewed my roommate lexi, who I believe Carrie’s the spirit of Barbara Streisand.

1. “Don’t compare yourself to the models and pictures you see on social media, the only opinion that matters is your own. My advice is to take self confidence not from others but from your own abilities.”

2. “I just ignore the haters and do me”

3. “My mother. She is a very strong, kind, caring role model that I have looked up to my whole life. She is always encouraging me to be myself and not conform to what other people want me to be.”

For my collage, I focused on quotes, sayings, and traits that I think reflected my personality. For most of my life, I have been a people pleaser and commonly put others before myself. Today, I find myself being a little more selfish and putting my energy into my own happiness. Most of my identity comes from my family, who taught me the importance of independence and never relying on someone else. My dad has always taught me that it's okay to be sensitive, which is why I added "love your heart" and "light-hearted". I also chose quotes to remind me of the bigger picture in life, like "it's your heart that takes you places" and that "every stage of life comes with new hopes and dreams.". I also incorporated different things I love, like Netflix, chilled wine, and flowers.
