Sempiternal

For this project, I was creating a design that would be able to move. I chose the designs based on a band I like named Bring Me The Horizon. The circles are actually a symbol called the flower of life that was used on one of the band's album covers. The heart is a design that I chose myself, adding the word 'Sempiternal' to the flowing ribbon. 'Sempiternal' is the name of the album, but it also means 'never-ending'.

Each design was drawn out by hand, and cut into circles. On the back of each circle are popsicle sticks cut to size for support and empty thread spools to enable movement. Skewer sticks were glued into the spool holes, and the sticks were then put through a plastic cardboard-like base that I painted black with acrylic paint. Once they were in place, I used plastic beads to secure them. Lastly, string was woven through the spools to make them move.

Canvas Bag

On this project, I used a piece of canvas that I painted with acrylic paint to make a little bag. I folded the edges over and sewed them to give it a smoother look, and then I sewed on a button so the bag can be closed. A blue bead was glued on the top to show where the bag opens and closes.

Culture Drawing

I come from a Polish background, so I chose a famous building in Poland called the Krzywy Domek. It's an abstract building, and I drew myself off to the side, wearing a present-day styled dress with an old-fashioned print design.

Silhouettes

During class, we had people pose with a light shining on them so we could cut out their shadow shape from black paper. These are the final outcomes of mine.

Ink Pallet Printing

I painted a design on a pallet with ink for a print. It was printed on damp watercolor paper.

 Above is my original ink painting. And below is the print that came from it. It didn't come out how I expected it to, but I still think it looks kind of cool.

Ink Printing

These are my ink printings of the symbol for Anthem clothing.

 (Above) My first one is my favorite. Even though the ink didn't all come out solid, I like how it turned out.

(Above) My second one didn't turn out as well as my first one, but I still kind of like it.

(Above) My third one is my least favorite. Some of the ink looks blotchy to me.

In the end, I painted over my original so I could keep it.

Photo Montage

This is a photo montage I made out of things that I don't like about people or things I just don't like in general. I actually had a lot of fun making it, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
