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.

    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!

    Beautiful 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.

    The 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!

Final Project: WIP

Image
 This week I was able to get a bunch of my work done on the "statue".  I think it turned out pretty good, a little less shapely than my sketch, but that was to be expected when working with hot glue.   I made rings of hot glue to stack on each other to build up the statue, and I think this method worked pretty well. Now I have to incorporate digital work into this piece, I have a couple ideas on how to do that.  I may take some photos of the piece on a plain background so that I can manipulate it in Adobe, try to make it look more ethereal and less clunky, play with blending layers and such.  My other idea was to upload a photo of the statue but keep most of it photo-realistic, and edit in little fragments of a face into the mirror shards.

Project 4: First Collage Iterations

Image
 I started this project by taking pictures of myself about every hour - not the most fun task taking unflattering, head-on photos, but once I started collaging them together it started looking less weird. Here are the first two, these are mostly experimental but I may use them if they work well.  The first is 7am and the second is 8am. Also, I have decided that the printed book will be small - 6 x 6 inches.
