My
very first project was the easiest, yet most meaningful. My favorite piece was my pocket shrine
because it held special meaning and was very personal to me. My most successful piece was my garment
prosthesis because it had to be completely thought out and have a final product
ready to present and perform with. It
was costly and challenging, but well worth the overall effort that went into
it.
During
this semester, I learned what materials I enjoyed using and working with. I like working with paper, textiles, products
from bees (honey and wax), flowers, and a good portion of my works focused on
human and animal anatomy. I’ve really
enjoyed learning more about sculpture and feel this is a focus area in my
future.
The most challenging assignment for me was the
object space relationship assignment. In
the end I wasn’t very happy with my final product. It was very simple, not in a good way. If I was going to redo the project I would
come up with a completely different idea.
To make the project presentation better, I would have used wire and
sewed it into the garments to create the illusion of the hanger instead of using
only paint.
The
guest and faculty speakers always had something interesting to say whether I agreed
or not with it. Each person shared new
thoughts that will in various ways shape the way I think as an artist. My favorite speaker was Anthony Sonnenberg as
well as the Degenerate Art Ensemble. I
found all of then captured my attention.
In
this class I have had to learn what I can handle in relationship to time
restraints. But honestly I know I could have pushed myself further in this
class. I do however feel I fulfilled the
assignments. I learned new processes
that I enjoy using to develop my work. I
have learned that I like building things and how sometimes the materials
dictate what my final piece looks like.
