Topic #6 Final In-Depth Project

After many ideas and attempts to start the In depth project, I took a step back and I thought about my brother in California and the Thomas Fire that is happening around Santa Barbara. Many people have lost their homes and relatives, as well as a few vineyards that also got caught in the fire. And of course I wanted to also commemorate the firefighters that risk their lives everyday to have control over the fire.

Topic #4 Landscape In- Depth Project

        For my topic #4 In-Depth project, I constructed a mirror image of two similar houses, ponds, walls, and landscaping. I wanted to convey how pollution or non-extensive care could spread in the environment. The left side shows a home that is well kept in an eco-friendly setting where the grass is well cut and fed, the pond is filled with clean water and the walls are clean of graffiti. The right side shows a home that is rotting from neglect in a polluted setting where the grass is not cared for and the water is contaminated and the walls are full of graffiti. 

         What makes this piece interactive is not only the real water in the ponds but the mirrors that are hidden underneath the broken brick wall on the polluted side of the project. If you adjust ur eyes on the eco-friendly setting while hovering over the polluted setting, the mirror shows the eco friendly setting turning into the polluted one. This gives reference of how pollution can easily take over without extensive care and awareness of the population.

The materials that were used for this project are wood, popsicle sticks, moss, glass, paper, paint, rocks, sand, plastic, and makers.

 

 

Propaganda Portrait

For my in-depth project I drew Gordon Ramsey as an admirable portrait using white and black charcoal. The left portrait is the admirable and the piece on the right is the propaganda portrait depicting a workplace bully. I had a lot of fun with this project considering that I highly admire Gordon Ramsey.

In Depth Project : Abstraction of the Form

For my Pattern and Ornament In-Depth piece, I made a charcoal and fabric based drawing using a 6ft x 3ft brown paper and I used drum sticks, and red ribbon as the support. This Japanese inspired piece presents an Oni mask and a Tengu mask both used for protection against evil spirits, aid for good luck, and celebratory attire. The Japanese writing on the top right corner translates to passion in which I used passionate as my personality trait for the piece. In relation to the ornamental chair, the skin of the dragons represent the cushions of the chair. The spikes on the spine represent the tuners on the bass guitars from the chair, and the Oni and Tengu masks represent my appreciation for theatre.

For my In-Depth Project, I wanted to layout a peaceful mind set that I dreamed about. These past couple of weeks have been a little rough in regards to Irma and other difficulties and I envisioned a peaceful place with steady voyages and an endless atmosphere. Just to take a good breath and meditate a place of bliss.
