Final Computer Project

This was my Final Project for Computer Foundations. We had to do an autobiographical presentation. I chose to make a triptych showing me and my favorite stuffed animal named Puppy over time. I found pictures of me and Puppy from when I was little. I scanned Puppy and used the fur texture to make landscape forms for the figures to exist in.

My computer professor, Eva Wylie, commented on how it is both humorous and serious at the same time.

This maybe my final post about my finals until the Spring Semester. In the spring, I'll start this blog again as I make new work.

Updated 2-D Project

At the end of the semester, everyone was preparing for the Foundations Student Exhibition, which is a show of work done in foundation classes. Students could re-work past assignments to improve them for the show. I chose to do this with my Space project.

My teacher suggested that I add more complexity. I chose to add more shapes in the negative spaces. I used positive and negative images of stars because I wanted a pattern that wouldn't take away from the squares but would still go with the theme.

Yeti Defense

This project was a group project that me and my friends Josh and Katie did. Our 3-D class was challenged by the other Wood Shop 3-D class to make a response to their Yeti project. They made sculptures of Yetis that they put in the large green hallway at Tyler. For a response, our class decided to defend against Yetis.

Our group decided to defend against the Yetis by putting a Yeti Detector by the front door to Tyler and "wanding down" people as they entered the building as airport security does (the wand and the detector searched for Yeti DNA instead of metal).

It was a short lived performance piece but we had a lot of fun doing it and putting it together. Some people loved the idea and got really into the new Yeti defending security measures. Others were less thrilled to be "wanded down". All in all though, it was a fun project that nicely complimented the other group's performance piece of recruiting people to join in an Anti-Yeti-Alliance Army.

These pictures show the Yeti Detector, the process of "wanding down", and me sporting the Yeti Defense uniform.
