Project 6: 3D to 2D

For our last project in Art 3D, we were to take photos of our 3D project(s) and edit them, and make them into something completely different. This was probably my favorite project of the semester because I absolutely love editing photos! I chose to use my 3D 'Map Relief' photo, to morph into something completely different in 2D. I couldn't chose which photo(s) I like the best, so below is the list featuring the few different takes on my 3D to 2D photos.

Project 5: Mementos

For our fifth project in Art 3D, we were to make a "memento" of some sort to represent a fond memory of our past. We were allowed to use any materials, but only three for the memento. The memory I chose is based on my childhood, and growing up right down the road from Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. Since I was a baby, my parents would take me to the campground. We were there almost every weekend, especially when the music festivals would be going on. We hardly ever missed a music festival. My memento is a representation of the fun times I always had out there; camping, listening to the music, and looking at all the beautiful art and clothing that the vendor were selling. The different, colorful beads representing all the bright colors that could be seen. The peace sign, showing all the kinds of people that would come to the events, and yet everyone got along so well. I also love that my memento kind of took on the look of a dream catcher as well. Dream catchers are reoccurring in my life, and truly mean a lot to me.

Project 4: Map Relief

For our fourth project in Art 3D, we were to make a "map." We were to choose our inspiration for our map, and use the packet in class to help us do so. I struggled with this project, and it was hard for me to originally find inspiration. This project was going on right when Hurricane Matthew hit St. Augustine, so I decided to use that as my inspiration. MY life was a little chaotic during this time. My apartment was flooded out, which meant I had to move back to my parents house. I was lucky enough to find a new place a little over a week later. It was a tough time, so I wanted to abstractly represent that in my piece. The only filled in black square was to represent the hurricane, and how it came into my life and everything was dim. The fading of the colors of the squares were to represent the negative slowly drifting away. The white square represented the positive, the "light at the end of the tunnel" so to speak. Which is why it was placed at the top. The piece ending up making a subtle swirl motion, which also could be seen as a representation of the hurricane. Although this project was difficult for me, I'm okay with the overall composition.

Project 3: Balsa Wood Sculptures

For our third project in Art 3D, we were to create mini sculptures (small enough to fit into your palm.) These sculptures were to include balsa wood, wood glue, tape, little nails, and paper. Each of my wood sculptures are unique and individual in their own ways. My sculpture I have listed first has to be my favorite. I love how the composition turned out with this sculpture. Very aesthetically pleasing to me.

 

 

 

 

Project 2: Soap Carving

For our second project in Art 3D, we did a soap carving. We chose a miniature toy animal to recreate, as we carved them from large bars of soap. I ended up choosing a turtle because it is one of my favorite animals. This project was a little time consuming, but I feel pretty good with my final outcome. Plus I loved smelling lavender through out working on this project!
