3D Concepts Fall 2018

My memento represents the time when I found my first kitten outside when I was looking for houses with my mom and grandma. I snuck the kitten under my shirt into our car and my mom did not notice until she heard a meowing noise. She was shocked I had pulled that off so well but she also thought it was extremely funny and cute and she decided to let me keep the kitten. For the project, we were only allowed to use three materials, so mine were: 1. A cut up T-shirt 2. Balsa Wood 3. Faux Fur I wanted to give the effect of a pocket and my kitten hiding inside of it. I associate the color green (even though this looks a little gray) with my memory because I found him outside near a lot of trees... which is also why I incorporated wood into my design. And the color fur I used was the same color my kitten was.  Three artists I took inspiration from for this project were: Anthony Roussel, Judith Scott, and Joan Lurie. In Roussel's work I noticed a lot of line wo

Original image of 3D image from Fluxus Box                                            "Entrance to Wonderland" For my 3D to 2D project I used an item from my Fluxus Box. The item is a box that I painted black and white diamonds and I painted a white keyhole in the center. My fluxus box was based off the movie "Alice in Wonderland" but I put a dark twist on it. For the 3D to 2D, I wanted this to resemble an entrance into Wonderland but have it be way more complicated and difficult to get into as opposed to just  falling down the rabbit hole like in the original movie.

This project was our first project in the class and we had to create two shoes out of masking tape, using one of our own shoes as a reference. I decided to use my pair of Adidas shoes. The first shoe was really hard for me as far as figuring out the shapes I needed to create as well as taking into account any negative space I needed to show. The second shoe was much easier for me and took less time because I knew how to achieve the platform and basic shape of the shoe. The hardest part of this for me was the top of the shoe where its rounded at the ends. To get that shape I had to ball up a lot of  tape and shove it in the top of the shoe to get it to be rounded. My favorite part of the project was doing the bottom of the shoe. To get the exact details from my original shoe, I put tape on the bottom of my shoe, and pressed this tool very gently over the tape so it wouldn't make holes, but just enough to wear it would indent the detailing onto the tape. The I removed the

My Fluxus Box was based off of the movie "Alice in Wonderland" but I decided to put a dark twist on it and made everything mostly black or very creepy looking. The box as well as creating all of the objects probably took me around 8 hours to complete. This project was my favorite out of the class because "Alice in "Wonderland" is one of my favorite movies and I loved giving it such an unsettling vibe. I made the box very tall and dark to resemble falling down the rabbit hole.   Some of the artists I took inspiration from as far as design principles for this project were, Lenka Clayton and Portia Munson. In Lenka Clayton's work I noticed value and texture and wanted to incorporate that into my designs. For Portia Munson, I took away color and proportions from her designs.
