The Memory Project

The Memory Project involves taking a photo of a child from Rwanda, Africa and creating something fun that the child would love. For Angelique, I gave her earrings, eyelashes, a head piece, and changed the color of her shirt to match her head piece. I thought that maybe she would love to dress up and doll herself up, like many young girls her age would.

Color Wheel and Stencil

My color wheel was created out of buttons. First I arranged the various buttons and made them all different sizes. Then, I made the buttons different colors with the photo filter and cut out t-shirt stencils. Lastly, I placed corresponding pictures behind the buttons and added creative text.

Advertisement

For this assignment, we were instructed to create our own ad. I decided to use the Garmin GPS System for my ad, then came up with a funny idea. All I had to do was find a jar of pickles, a Garmin GPS, and a man inside of a hole. Then, I pieced everything together and added the text.

Alexis Rockman

Alexis Rockman is a modern artist that paints using a fantasy-realism style. He also uses a lot of bright and eye-catching colors. Many of his works (including this one) show the inside of an object or space in nature. Rockman likes to show the things that are overlooked in nature, or things that are hidden in nature. I discovered this wonderful artist in the magazine titled ARTnews.

Bionic

My friend Annie was used to become bionic for this project. To create her as a bionic spacewoman, I first drew a line down the middle of Annie's face and body to separate her two different sides. Then, I liquified her curves to create a cartooned look. After perfecting Annie's body, I put together her outfit and skin. Finally, I colored her hair purple, which was my favorite attribute of the overall project.
