Fantasy Appliance: Progress
I have finished coloring my oil container and have begun adding the other elements. You can see a flower at the spout of the oil container, I also have a hummingbird image to include.
Project 4: New Idea!
After having some time to think about the assignment and what might be both a fun and creative project, I think I have found my idea! I intend to make a small spiral-bound book, bound so that the pages can go 360 degrees around. The book will have 24 pages, one for each hour of the day. There will be no set start or end to the book, it will be a day cycle so you could open at any page and go through it. For each hour (page) I'm thinking it will be a self portrait of sorts of how I'm feeling in that hour. I'll take a few self portrait photos of the hour and paste them together collage-style. For the backgrounds I would like to use abstract color to represent the feel of the hour. I hope that made even a little sense!
Sylvia, I love your idea for this project! One of my favorite musicals is Little Shop of Horrors, where the main character is a carnivorous plant, so I'm excited to see where your imagination takes you. So far, I think you've beautifully captured the delicate transparency of the original glass from your reference picture. Much like the visual depth you've created using texture for your cork, I wonder what some of that texture might look like on your flower petals. I think you're advancing nicely, and I'm looking forward to see the whole composition including the hummingbird!

DeleteBeautiful transparency! It translates over as a hummingbird feeder so well while still looking like the original oil container; your concept is communicated very clearly. I do think making the flower a brighter color (like maybe red) would help communicate that there is a flower coming out of the spout; and even draw attention to the potential underlying meaning of this piece.
ReplyDeleteThe transparency is really impressive here! I also love the texture on the cork, it looks great. I think that coloring the flower is a really great idea, it would provide a wonderful emphasis on that side of the composition. You could also add another burst of color of some kind in the bottom left corner to create an implied line that becomes interesting to the viewer!
