Shades of gray on my fingers!

This shading assignment was very unique because I have never really shaded conciously before, ahhh! Yeah I was never an "artist" so didn"t do these types of things. So now I'm learming and what I have learned so far is that some techniques are definitely more easy to use than others. The two I used in this assignment were random and cross- hatch. I like cross hatch of the two and thats only because that picture turned out better, better use of my strokes in controlling heavier and lighter shading. but I'm sure we will be doing this again so I'll practice for next time.

Midde-mix/Metamorphosis

MORE like Phillips!

This is my middle mix of the two projects. How I came to this decision you ask, well the columns of Monique's egg project were bought together with an additional and created a box shaped similar to what is found in Phillips project. now this box was suppose to have doors but that hasn't quite happened yet.

Reminiscent of Monique's!

These two project below belong to Philip Mancuso and Monique Farley. This is where i have drawn my inspiration form in order to create the 3 up above. They have Metamorphosed into other objects.

Beautiful Enviroments

At first glance I was turned away form this space because of the decorative items in it, but after reading the article I love it! This a a interior of a home in New Mexico that is owned and maintained by Myron Goldfinger an architect and his family. This home is a part of a triad of homes owned by the family and each reflecting it exterior environment. The floors are stone the same color of the sand of the desert area that surrounds the home. As for there personal choice of decorative items they were a compilation of a common interest between Mr. and Mrs. Goldfinger which was Folk art they have piece throughout all three of their homes and I find this to be a eclectic mixture of objects that truly reflect the home owner, something every home should do.

The Fabric Scene Zine

The first issue of the Fabric Zine...

OK might be the last issue but probably not I actually really enjoyed doing the research involved with this project. There is a lot of really great info on textiles and the future of the textile industry out there. These are things we will definitely need to learn and be knowledgeable about in our future careers. So read on, on the bottom of the pages are some websites to checkout for some really great information on the individual companies and there other collections.

Memories.....

Well here it is, this is my place to hold my memory. The idea behind this creation is of 3 uniting to become one. The memory that evoked this design is actually me , my brother, and sister coming together to raise one child, my nephew Zhen. That is why i chose the triangular shape when 3 sides come together they create one solid object. After i decided to use the triangle the rest of the object just developed on its own. The Final piece ( in blue) is twice the size as the initial iteration. The initial iteration is made up of triangles all having 3" sides. In the last I chose to use 6" sides to give the object a little more functionality for everyday use.
