Xerox project

For our third project, we had to xerox parts of our body and paste the resulting copies onto a posterboard or some other medium. I chose to do only my hands and face, while utilizing the fading that xerox copies have. There is one specific xerox that is my favorite, and it is the frontal face one. My eyes in it look pretty neat I think. Here is a picture of the project:

Grid Art

For our second project, we had to create something using grids. I chose to cut a picture of a giraffe into a grid, draw it on seperate pieces of paper, and then transfer the picture piece by piece onto the ground using coffee and a knife. It took longer than I had expected, as I really wanted it to look good. Here are some pictures of the project in work:

Flip Book

A bit late, but here is the flipbook animation feedback:

Project 1: Flipbook animation-

I created a 200 page (197 pages actually... the cover lied to me when I bought it!) about a mushroom that comes alive and eats a gingerbread man. The animation then progresses through a crazy dream-like world which ends with the gingerbread man being reborn and eating the mushroom that had previously eaten him.

Here are my comments on others' works:

Victor: He made a video with music of several events including clouds raining and an adventure of a stick man. The fast-paced music fit it quite well.

Coleen: Beautiful succession of different seemingly random pictures.

Taylor: A novel transformed into a work of art.

Ciara: A seed sprouting into a flower when the sun rises and going back into a seed as the sun sets.

Ryan: A monster who eats a drug mushroom and feels like he is in Narnia.

Anastasia: A flower that grows, then dies, then turns into a peace sign and flower.

Bernadette: A yellow ball rolling down a staircase, then rain turning into an ocean and eventually a rainbow.

Matthew: A series of photos showing his apartment.

Adam: A series of blocks falling into place and forming a house.

Perri: A series of balloons, a butterfly, and flowers in motion.

Murad: Depicts a sun rising and a liquid falling. The liquid is apparently blood considering the title of the animation.

Ashley: A collage of shapes and colors, with tears in the paper where some heart shapes are. Several blank pages. A revised version sports quickly and sloppily drawn letters of the alphabet.

Brendan: Very solid and seems like it took a lot of effort to complete. A growig arrow turns into a sunset eventually. The entirely black pages with pictures being distinct, stood out in the project and seemed unique.

Shawn: A tank fighting a monster akin to the visuals in the movie The Hulk. Once the monster had been ultimately killed, another tank came onto the scene and after exchanging several rounds, the two kill each other. The message "War, what is it good for?" is shown.
