Final Project
For my final project, I created a piece using the Impressionism and formal elements lessons. I used complementary colors that I learned in the formal elements lesson to paint the kites blue and orange. My landscape is inspired by settings found in impressionism art with quick brush strokes and outdoor scenery. This nature painting allowed me to put my own touch on some of the art lessons I learned this semester.
Dada Assignment
My puppet's name is Flora and is made out of fake flowers, a dish rag, rings for eyes, and silverware for legs. She loves to dance to Frank Sinatra and "Fly Me to the Moon" is her favorite song. Flora cannot move without me, her puppeteer, who uses her stems to whisk her away.
For my project, I grew inspiration from the traditional Japanese flip-flop, the geta. Using cardboard, from recycled Amazon packages, I made a mixture of modern slides and the geta. My brother, who is a bit heavier than these shoes could handle, used the runway to model this fashionable shoe.
Your inspiration is super cool, and I can see how your work was inspired by this Japanese fashion statement. The shoes seem sturdy for being cardboard!
Surrealism
For my surrealism project, I used pop-can tabs as earrings. Repurposing old pop cans are a great way to boost your accessories for any outfit. They can be worn on a single earring or hooked around multiple earrings as seen in the video.
Futurism
For my futurism assignment, I depicted a new renewable technology, offshore solar energy. Offshore technology has often been used in wind energy, but now China has expanded their offshore energy to include solar, as well. In November of 2024, China installed the world's largest offshore solar farm covering 3,000 acres, which produces enough to power about a million homes. As the price of solar energy falls and technology improves, we are likely to see increased reliance on its power supply in the future.
The huge installation off the coast of Northern China can power a million homes at full capacity.
ARTH 102- Cubism
Here is my abstract human for this week's assignment!

Final Piece:
I really enjoyed the background of this piece and the shades of blue and green that were used. I also am interested in how you used both facial and nonfacial features to construct your facial image. Great work!
Cubism
For the Cubism assignment, I began by doodling some abstract shapes and lines all over my sketchbook. Then, I found facial features in a magazine and clipped them. Finally, I found the most fitting spot for the facial features on my abstract drawing to give the idea of a floating face.
Fauvism
This week I decided to draw my friend Delaney. In my reference photo, we were visiting a coffee shop in NYC. I decided to keep her hair orange because it is a big part of her personality and one of my favorite features of her. In the background, I added yellow, pink, and orange elements because she is very loving and bright. She brings happiness and joy with her and has a calming and steady personality. I gave her green pants and blue shoes because she likes pops of color that match her energy.
Impressionism
For my assignment, I chose to depict Simone Biles' triple-double floor pass also known as the Biles II. She has competed with this floor pass since 2019 which has led her to become the most decorated gymnast of all time because of the skill's difficulty. I am always amazed to watch this floor pass because it contains two flips and three twists and Biles must achieve amazing airtime to complete this skill. I remember watching her compete in the Paris Olympics last summer and it was a moment I will always remember because she clinched gold for the US women's team after the US won silver in the previous Olympics.
ART-102 Midterm
For my assignment, I focused on the normalized state of plastic surgery and Botox for celebrities and influencers. A group of individuals that very obviously use these procedures are the Kardashians. Though not always admitting it, past photos can confirm the women's procedures of plastic surgery. For what they did not have physically changed on themselves, they also have use photo editing to remove any unwanted features before posting to their millions of followers.
Social media influencers often portray deceptiveness when it comes to plastic surgery and convince people that their looks are from the products that they are trying to sell. The Kardashians for example own many beauty brands that they promote through their altered faces and physiques. Many consumers fall into this marketing trap only to be disappointed when the product does not give them the same results that plastic surgery does.
Excessive photo editing and facial reconstruction have caused our society to become overly sensitive to normal human appearances and have led to a decline in self-confidence especially for college-aged students. My image depicts the lies that are often found behind beauty marketing schemes from the famous influencers we all follow. The artwork brings awareness to false advertising in the beauty industry and shows that you usually do not get what you pay for.
My Art Voice
For my collage this week, I was inspired by Molly's fashion design, and Eeylon's album image. I used elements of Eeylon's image by depicting people with flowers and dressed them in fashionable outfits as influenced by Molly. I included nature elements and abstract elements as seen in each of their collages.
Formal Elements
For my fashion design, I redesigned Taylor Swift's grammy dress adding some tiers of different fabrics to add dimension and texture. I matched my background with the complimentary colors of orange and blue to the pops of color I added on the dress.
For this week's assignment I decided to draw inspiration for my artwork from the album "The Lumineers", by The Lumineers. For my artwork I decided to go for a vintage aesthetic because the album cover includes an old polaroid that I feel gives a nostalgic feel. I was inspired by this and decided to use the polaroid in my artwork by blending different collage pieces that reminded me of the songs on the album but that also drew from the nostalgic and vintage feeling of the original picture on the album cover. My favorite songs from this album are "Dead Sea" and "Flowers in Your Hair". For the song "Dead Sea", I decided to include elements that reminded me of the song like the ocean and seashells. I also included my favorite quote from the song that I burned the end of to tie into the vintage vibe I was going for. I then included a cool photograph I found of a woman with flowers in her hair that I felt represented the song "Flowers in Your Hair" and also blended well with the other collage pieces. Other songs that inspired collage pieces I chose include "Flapper Girl" and "Stubborn Love". Overall I genuinely enjoyed making this and it made me feel even more connected with the album!
This is one of my favorite albums!! I really like your spin on the cover using vintage inspiration. Its hard to pick just one song from this album, but if I had to choose my favorite would be Stubborn Love.
One of my favorite songs of all time is Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson. All the inspiration I needed to create my art actually came from listening to the song. I really dissected the lyrics and can visualize what is happening throughout the 3+ minute song. I see it as warm, laidback, and colorful. That is the main reason why I took this album cover and made it colorful. I really think it is a unique album cover, but what album cover isn't improved by a splash of color, and an orangutan!
This is a great interpretation of Jack Johnson's album. I also really enjoy this album and the overall happy vibes that is characteristic of his music. My favorite song from the album is Good People.
I chose the album Busyhead by Noah Kahan. I really enjoy this EP because the songs express the overwhelming thoughts that a lot of people have and it makes me feel less alone in this crazy life. The artwork on this album fits the narrative that our minds are often inundated with all of our to-dos, goals, and fears, yet there is beauty in the unknown and having a busyhead.
My favorite song from the album is Carlo's Song which is about losing a friend, but never forgetting them and that the way to keep them alive is to always be thinking about them
