Art, a Gift to Explore Your Identity (Final part 3)

Pax et Bonum--Devereux

For this part of the final, Autumn and I decided to collaborate to draw the beautiful Dev building. Both of us have lived in Dev during our undergraduate years, and had awesome memories hanging out in each other's rooms, telling stories, making jokes, having awesome laughs. We also chose this building, because Dev, in both of our opinions is the MOST beautiful building on the St. Bonaventure campus. We picked the arch to be or main focus, because it is indicative of a path, and a path that we have crossed many times: on the way to our rooms, on the way to classes, on the way to the parking lot, on the way to the Hickey, and NOW on the way to take graduation pictures to remember our Bonas memories forever!! Than you, Dev, and Bonas, for a wild experience of a lifetime! Autumn and I will definitely miss this integral part of out college experience!!!

Getting Your Voice Out There in Public Places (Final Part 2)

For this part of the Final, Autumn and I worked together to create some inspirational messages in the Girl's bathroom in the Walsh Science building. We chose to hang these inspirational messages in the Walsh bathoom, because both of us are science majors. Autumn is a Chemistry major and I am a Biology major, we have spent hours upon hours in this building, working on lab, lecture, and even just studying. Walsh has been our home for the past four years, so choosing Walsh as our perfect place to hang up our post-it notes with inspirational messages, is most definetely one that bears a lot of memories, and meaning. I hope the messages do inspire other bio and chem major ladies that walk into this bathroom and check it out, as a way to boost their confidence, and motivation to persevere through these rigorous majors! Some motivational words we included: "Finish strong!" "Live Laugh Love" "You've got this!" "Be Your Best!" Amongst many other quotes!!!! You've got this!!!

Connecting to the Earth (Final Part 1)

For this part of the Final, Autumn and I collaborated to create a memorable nature-based art piece. We placed extreme care in selecting the natural objects that would serve as the centerpiece for our masterpiece. We chose dandelions which are very bright yellow in color and represent our personalities and our friendship as being very bright, positive, and pleasant. Additionally, the brightness of the dandelions indicates a bright (positive) energy and vibes that we give off daily. Using the dandelion flowers, we created a beautiful, strong sun! Which symbolizes the strong and bright energy that we radiate to everyone on a daily basis! We don't just radiate bright, positive energy, but we emit STRONG BRIGHT VIBES!!!!

APPLEBEES BEEE FOREVER our HOME

For this part, I collaborated with Autumn to draw one of our favorite restaurants nearby campus. You may have already guessed it..... that's right! It's Applebees. My favorite thing to order is the cheeseburgers there and their famous riblets. This is our go-to spot to unwind after a busy work week. We would share many fun memories at Applebees, smiles, laughs, and celebrations! At Applebees, we would always share our biggest milestones, from birthdays, to passing our Senior Colloquiums and Senior capstone presentations. One place we will miss hanging out around will be Applebees! Applebees will surely miss us 🤪).

Getting Your Voice Out in Public Places (Final Part 2)

For the second part of the final, I went out onto the Allegeny Trail with some pink, white, and light blue chalk. Using the white, pink, and light blue chalk, I was able to generate a beautiful message that reads: "Tap in Not Out" I was also able to sprinkle some flowers onto the message, to make this message bloom and flourish. This is supposed to be an adventurous and ambitious motivational drive. Always participate, become involved, and be active in things you love and care about! You will make so many awesome friends, gain some awesome experiences, and live your best life!!!

Connecting to the Earth! (Final Part 1)

With much pleasure, my friend Autumn and I have figured that since we will be graduating in a few short days. So we figured we could collaborate on these projects as a memorable way to remember and cherish our days at Bonaventure together! We decided to create a spiral of rocks to emphasize the center of our friendship (Bonaventure). Bonas is where we first met (initially as two very shy Chemistry lab partners), where we had our laughs, smiles, and fun! The rocks going further and further away from the spiral indicate time unwinding as we slowly reach the end of our St. Bonaventure Journey. We will be heading off to our next chapters: I will attend medical school in July in Florida, and Autumn is heading off to Sonography school (so proud, by the way!!). Even though our road and paths will diverge in the near future, we always remember that our friendship is bound by the center/focus--St. Bonaventure. St. Bonaventure is where our friendship began, bloomed, and flourished. This spiral indicates that even though we will be far apart after graduation, our friendship will always remain strong, connected, and intact. The car path marks and the ground smears also indicate that our paths have crossed in our lives, and they will reunite again in the future! I love you, Autumn. Thank you for being an awesome friend!

Week 9: Futurism

For my Futurism piece, made with collage materials from magazines, I focused on the first prompt about what a phone will look like in the future and it’s possible capabilities. I chose to delve back into my interest of horror for this concept. There have been several modern horror movies that incorporate technology into stories about tragedies, hauntings, possessions, and other supernatural occurrences (Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Wounds, Don’t Worry Darling, Dashcam, Cam; to name a few). My futuristic cell phone suggests a capability to contact ghosts, spirits, demons, or the dead. Humans have pushed the envelope with contacting spirits in the past by performing seances and using ouija boards, and it isn’t far-fetched to believe that an app or program would be created to contact the other side. Would creating an app like this be going too far and cause controversy and possible danger? I think definitely think so, but I would not doubt something like this being created in the near future.

I love how intricate the design is, and I love how the gradient of the piece changes from a lighter shade and becomes progressively darker.

Week 11: Dada

Flash Warning for Video!

My puppet’s name is Matilda and she is made from a sock, some string for hair, recycled cardboard for eyes and a mouth, and a flower for an accessory. Matilda is typically very quiet and introverted, but she enjoys listening to loud music so she can unleash her inner pop-star! She is going to be on the next season of America’s Next Top Model and is going to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour soon.

[roseberkovski]

Matilda seems like the star of the show and very outgoing with her cool dance moves!

[livblarr]

This is my pupped named Cass! She just loves to dance. 💃🕺She enjoys listening to Maroon 5, hence her song choice. Cass also likes to chill at the pool with her friends which is why she had me film her there.

[roseberkovski]

WOWWW!!! I thought this was a real person!!! She is dancing o very smoothly, and the beaming lights are sooo pretty!!1

[ashleyherrick]

This my puppet. I used an old piece of paper and made an origami puppet. Name is jasmine.

[roseberkovski]

This is sooo fun! This reminds me of Ron's Weasley's mother from Harry Potter, when she wrote the yelling envelope which flew into this face, scolded, and yelled into his face and then ripped herself.

[jordanrokitka]

I made a paper bag puppet to look like a giraffe! In the video he is dancing to Last Night by Morgan Wallen.

[roseberkovski]

I love the irregular cut outs of the spots, which give the Giraffe a very realistic appearance!

NYC

I went over to the trail by my favorite little water spot. I love the sound of the stream here, it is so calming and brings me hope.

I wrote the phrase "We'll be fine", because it is always nice to hear some reassurance, especially around this time of year when we are all scrambling to complete projects, presentations, and exams.

I wish for everyone to keep in mind that we'll be fine in the end!

[roseberkovski]

Thank you for the motivation!!! This is definitely much needed!! Good luck on your projects, exams, and presentations, as we wrap up our end of the semester!

[cdemarche1]

This is my puppet, Ollie! He is made out of a sock. He likes to stop at Twist and Shake for a nice hot dog and play music in his free time!

[roseberkovski]

Ollie's tongue and eyebrows look very sharp!

[gracielee123]

For my art assignment, I decided to make a chill puppet that hangs out and wears sunglasses. I picture this puppet to always be watching the Fresh Prince of Bel Air!

[roseberkovski]

This puppet is RAD!!! I love his shades!! And the tongue really makes him appear gooooofy ahahaha! Love his taste in jamming out!
