Earth Art Piece

For my Earth Art Piece I decided to take photography and integrate the art of photography along with my piece. While, walking to class I noticed beautiful puddles with infinite circles. The puddle seemed so insignificant and small to us yet, contained a abundance of motion and life. What beauty

🌊🤌✨

Feminism Piece

Silhouette

I took a twist on the silhouette in nature assignment due to not having someone to outline. I made a creative twist by using minerals and rocks within my silhouette to identify with the “heart” the “mind” and the “no no parts” (silhouette stone) so signify the commonly overused and abused parts of our body and how significant and special they are just like every other stone, rock, stick, or flower. All very important in life function and a person. The eyes display yellow dandelions that turn green in the cold months when they die. This can symbolize seasonal depression or (SAD) seasonal affective disorder and how everything seems so gloomy and grey in the winter yet blooms in to fruition in the spring.

Appreciate the grey so you can bloom too! 🤍

Arte povera

My arte polvera movement was created with trash and non-conventional materials. This week I decided to use natural and trash to create a 5:00 somewhere ideology highlighting our wastefulness when focused on fun.

Eva Hesse Inspired

Inspiration Piece: Hang Up 1966

This piece is inspired by the 1966 piece by Eva Hesse called “Hang Up”. I relate to hangups simplicity by making the typical lifestyle of student life a bit uncomfortable with sticky boys and materials in unusual placements. This technique is used to draw to the emphasis of my message within the piece and the “hang up” within student life. Self compassion and self care is often overlooked within many students busy schedules. It is however, very pivotal to the functioning and continued progress. The engine can’t run without care. #liveyourbestlife

For my pop culture moment painting I chose the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp lawsuit case. In this case, Johnny Depp was suing Amber Heard for defamation when she released that Johnny Depp had been abusing her during their marriage resulting in many brands and companies dropping their endorsements with him. In the end, it was found that Amber Heard was the one who had been abusing Johnny Depp during that time and won the lawsuit.

I think this pop culture moment was important because it showed that men can be victims of domestic violence just as much as women can. It also showed the power of social media with the outpouring of support for Johnny during this time.

Jordan, I really like your artwork! I was watching a lot of the trial. It looks just like it! Nice job.

[theofficialayah]

I reposted because it brings up a very important topic. I find your piece very impactful!

[theofficialayah]

I initially started the midterm with the pop culture moment and highlighted a social perspective.

I did this piece for fun in the end, I wanted it to show that although we all have differences we’re all the same🤍 the dot symbolizes unity and togetherness with photography and events bringing people of all backgrounds and experiences together in peace ☯️

Midterm: Contemporary Issues

My digital abstract was created by Instagram a very controversial app for many valid reasons.

My Version is monotone and grey dipicting a wary and eerie feeling to the piece. I forgot to move the paper clips for the photo so I’m going to call them piece additions connecting the thought of wires and technology controlling our world. (Pretty morbid right? ) I ended up dropping the brush creating a cool creation over the word “The” allowing me to interpret it with is this really our world? The World?

Perspective is very important within this piece which is why there is 3 photos. The lighting and perspective allow for different perceptions.

Furthermore, this leaves me to wonder as a promoter of social media health and balance, am I doing more harm then good? Is social media really a good place? It’s technology truly helpful? Some questions I’m sure we’ve all asked but, I don’t know. I just try to see it as we can’t really control too much of our environment daily but what we can we can and if that’s a major social and typical way to communicate why not take the negative and turn it into a positive? Allow the understanding of the fact that there will always be “true” and “false”, “good” or “bad”, “trendy or out of fashion”, and “shameful or uplifting” but to see the beauty in it all (the diversity) and make decisions based off you! Not a trend not a product or healthcare remedy. Just you. Existing beautifully 🤍 in a evolving world.

Abstract Expressionism

I used materials that I recently found out on a app called Yuka (not sponsored) that I in fact had hazardous body care, makeup, and food. Now I’m not a crazed person about what I consume but I like to be conscious to how things affect my body and what I’m consuming. This scared me and a lot of my friends and we went on a hunt to eliminate our high value low quality products. Sadly this seemed true. Overall, I am using my old hazardous products as art materials because why not and I want to be conscious about my waste. My one minute line is to the left.

Finding your Art Voice 🤍

Using different materials

If you haven’t noticed I like to incorporate garbage into my art. As a act of promoting sustainability.

I was born in 2001 as you see on the left hand side.

The black widow symbolizes myself as I know I can occasionally be seen as a rigid, hyper masculine, independent woman. Working on this.

The cherry pits symbolize a ladder to me and climbing to the top of the rose colored glasses. 🌹🤍

Brown

Bland and Typical

Underated Usual

Brown 🤍

- I chose this color because it is one of my new favorites after years of not liking my brown eyes as a child I embraced it growing up and now find myself amazed at brown earthy tones. 🥥🥔🥐🥠🥜🌰🍪

My Manifestation for 2023 is simply to be me.

I chose to create a collage that makes me feel hopeful, inspired, optimistic, and at peace. Notice the word inspire in the new magazine clipping. I decided to add a twist with physical art and web art editing. Creating this piece.

(A short Book) hehe:)

I hope to highlight within the piece a series of eerie hope. Such piece might at fist glance look very hopeless or tragic. Yet, I view it as hope and inspiration for a better future. Within my piece you’ll notice school supplies, dirt, trash, and the distinctive theme of Boneventure values. In the middle you will see the ministry chapel a key component to Bonaventure’s values and tradition. Although, I am not a religious student I have a deep appreciation for culture and theology. That being said many whom attend St Bonaventure know of the imprint of religion on the university. Such imprint makes a great sense of peace and love within St. Bonaventure. A feeling of simplicity as the friars stay true to their humbled lifestyle to the preservation of nature due to the universities lineage. I wanted to highlight this as In recent years I’ve observed St.Bonaventure becoming corrupted by hopes of advancement, expansion, and financial abundance. It’s no secret any business or corporation would need to have a financial plan or aspiration for growth within the business. However, where is the distinction of values and where do we realize such “progress” may only take away the values and traditions that have founded St. Bonaventure. I bring awareness to this unconsciously, as I was found stressed about not having magazines. I initially hypothesized that I’d make a virtual collage of things that made me happy. Simple and done so yet, a part of me felt I wouldn’t get the physical prompt completed as a magazine was suggested. Therefore I set out in search of any magazines I could find one, found at safety and security another, found at my counselors office. Both magazines are St. Bonaventure publications. Yet, one explicitly highlighted the advancements St. Bonaventure is hoping to bring to the university in the near future. Such plans include but are not limited to “a state-of-the-art” broadcast production suite and newsroom for the Jandoli school of communication, a 10,000 sqft Athletics Performance Center “five times the size of the current weight room facility” with a turf field “large enough to accommodate Division l sports” claiming the new advancements will “bring Bonnie’s teams out of the harsh Western New York winter element and allow for year-round training”. Upon first glance this seems exciting and transformative. Yet, it’s everything Boneventure is not. Creating a indoor facility so Bonnie’s don’t have to go outside? Or so you don’t have to pay for labor to care for outside elements? Whatever the cause, I believe we are stepping away from what makes Bonaventure Bonaventure. Simply seeking to “raise $125 million in investing* into Bonaventure” when we’re already more than well-off.” Sounds odd to me. In addition the article claims that “ your campaign gift will help build a Bolder Bonaventure by: Modernizing facilities and enhancing technology, transforming St. Bonaventure’s athletic facilities” Such claims seem to be changing the Bonaventure experience overall into a more modern one. I don’t know I just feel off about this. Especially because the plan for the athletic center would either one knock down over 20+ trees where I and many students have relaxed in the field of trees or two knock out a parking lot. Which one do you think Boneventure will choose to eliminate?

Night Lovell- deira city centre - Inspiration 

I loved discovering this as I have a deep appreciation for ALL music. 

I began singing Night Lovells in my head one day as this played, then realized it was in fact not Night Lovell. But the inspiration for his beautiful song.

[theofficialayah]

Two of my favorite Artists in one! Unfortunately, you will not hear any $uicideboy$ as this is in fact click bait. It’s all Night Lovell! He doesn’t have a solid video released for this song so this will do. 

My next post will highlight the song beat inspiration. (a Lil extra IK) but I cannot share this masterpiece without showing the song's inspiration! 

Something I discovered one random day.

Hello Everyone! My name is Ayah Rotellini, I am excited to invest more into my artistic expression this semester. I was a double major in Finance and Psychology yet, a recent ego death has taught me that I am a hyper independent overachiever. Working on that :) hehe

Grateful for this opportunity, I look forward to class soon!
