#4 Assignment: Flag Race challenge

Title: Self Abstract Flower Flag

Medium/materials used: Fabric, shower curtain pole, hot glue, string

dimensions: 3 feet x 5 feet

For this assignment, I created a flag that has to do with a childhood painting I have hanging in my room. This painting is something I’ve been looking at every single I was little. It is a bunch of pink flowers. I decided to create an abstract piece of it on my flag. I used fabric from my last project. My partner and I decided to meet at the park for this race. We started at two separate points at the park. The middle point was a picnic table. I ended up winning. This assignment allowed me to showcase an abstract form of something dear to me while showcasing it publicly.

Flag race challenge

Materials/Medium: Two pillow cases, paint, sewing supplies.

Dimensions: about 3x5ft.

For my flag I decided to paint my own arm tattoo on to the fabric. I got this idea because I believe that my tattoo is something that people quickly notice about me if they have never met me, and it would be something that reminded people who do know me of me if they saw the flag. I often get questions about it when I'm working and I believe that it represents me well. In the video shown I clearly lose to Devin in the flag race. It was still a fun twist in the project.

Assignment 4: The Flag Race Challenge

This assignment was honestly super rough for me because I’m not as creative and couldn’t come up with a specific design for my flag. At the end of the day, I ended up my flag and I enjoyed so much making this. Riannah and I decided to meet up at the panther because since she lives in the dorms at FIU, I feel like it was going to be better doing it someplace convenient for the both of us. I went to the Mango building and she went to the health building and from there we both walked like about 5-7 minutes to the panther and I made it first than her, making me the winner! I feel like this project was in a way collaborative since we both had to record ourselves walking to the point where we were both going to meet up and then obviously had to put the videos together and make one video! Once again, I really enjoyed this assignment and I think it was a great one to end this semester.

For the fourth project my idea for the flag was one relating to space since i had chosen a black fabric and thought space would fit aganist a black background. So what i did was buy a space sticker pack from the dollar store and decorated my flag with them to give it a space theme. As for the race i raced against Michael, we did it on Sunday the day before class at 2 pm and the end goal was the FIU art building. I was the winner and planted my flag at the building first before he got there.

FLAG RACE CHALLENGE: FINAL:

Student Name: Michael

Title: True Art Guild Banner

Dimensions: 5' x 3'

Materials Used: Old bedsheets, purple costume fabric, yellow costume fabric, green costume fabric, white costume fabric, broomstick, 3-foot wooden port, black acrylic paint, white acrylic paint, spray-on fabric glue.

Statement: when creating my flag for the Flag Race Challenge assignment, I made sure to pick colors and symbols which represented my own life and what it means to be an artist. The three major symbols used are that of an eye, a chameleon, and a shield. The eye symbolizes the importance of observing and taking in the world around you, thus improving mental visual libraries. The chameleon symbolizes the importance of being able to adapt to any situation no matter what, while also being a rather colorful, artistic looking animal. Finally, the shield represents the endurance required to be an artist in the modern day, as one must be willing to fail time and time again for a chance at success. The colors used are mainly purple, yellow, green, and white. I chose green and purple because they are my favorite colors, yellow because it complements purple with extreme contrast, and white because it symbolizes purity and peace. I believe I was successful in my execution, however with more time, I would have made a better stick to hold the banner, and also a higher quality product.
