ideas: 

1. make a still-video with the recording and the picture (put the recording in garageband and put the picture on top as the “cover”) so you can scroll over the photo on the website and hear the music that goes with it

2. short description of photo under “portfolio” tab and also link a page with a lot of potential pictures to it

Here is a picture of the website so far! It’s still in the works, but I have a general idea of what it will look like now!!! :~)

I have some photos to choose from! These are from a photoshoot I did recently with my friend and I think they reflect different moods, especially with the contrast in lighting in a lot of the pictures. They’re also taken in an abandoned house, which gives it a different air as well. It could be ominous or adventurous.

Painting Progress 10

In all honesty, I am quote tired of seeing this painting. I however wasn’t (and still am not) satisfied with the outcome. I decided to add the streaks of red to represent not only blood but the feeling of being drowned under the weight of confusion and despair.

Painting Progress 9

I have finally finally gotten to the 3rd painting. In all honesty, I do not know where I’m heading with this painting because what I intended to do with it is not what ended up happening. With Artsfest a week away, I’m scrambling to find a way to make it relate with everything else that this project is comprised off.

Critical Binder Week 4, Entry 16:

I have sewn int he hair to the canvas! This is most likely the hardest hair I will have to sew into a canvas in my Capstone because they are not individual braids, but rather loose hair that then forms a braid. It is very sturdy and the braid turned out really well!

Critical Binder Week 4, Entry 15:

I have updated the presentation of my paper mache tree, and have explored some ways to stabilize the background of the canvases so that I can then hang them on the tree. The way I will have the audience look at the tree is from the bottom up, which will start with the African scene, to be representative of the origin of the braid and where it “stemmed” or originated from.

Critical Binder Week 4, Entry 14:

I have updated my Native American scene to be a little simpler and include more meaning. In my research, I found that there are three major tribes of Native Americans here in the US: the Navajo, Cherokee, and Sioux. I plan on using 3 circles as the background to be representative of these three major tribes.

Critical Binder Week 4, Entry 13:

As I began to brainstorm what look I was going for in terms of displaying the work for Arts Fest, I thought that a good way to display the braid was through some connection to “roots.” What better way is there than using a tree!

I found a good Youtube video that showed me how to make a (flat) paper mache tree that will most likely be as long as a panel that would be used at Arts Fest.
