Wash Lecture Assignment #3 - Autobiography Mapping

CRIT

 We didn't do a critic on this project, which I am eternally grateful for. I wasn't to thrilled with making an autobiography, and I hadn't a clue how to make my life into a piece of work. After viewing other people's work, I realise I could have just focused on one part of my life and not my life as a whole. Before seeing everyone's work though, I struggled with the idea of an entire life in one sculpture. I just didn't know how to put such massive information into one thing, and I really didn't feel like opening myself up that wide. The artwork widely reflect my struggle and displeasure in the project.

Some advice given to me, was to make it filled with more words. The floor of the structures should be filled with more questions about what makes an autobiography. The words on the building floor should be screen printed on, so that the wood showed through.

Metaphor Projecty. Pink Razerblades of Hair

 

CRIT

There wasn't an individual critic for this project, but what I originally saw after I finished the project, was that the neck looked to be broken. Not in the physical since, but what the form looked like. I had made the neck too small for one thing, and there is an awkward curve to the neck, not the angle a real neck it is supposed to have. The cranium is off as well. I forgot the outward  "shelf" like part to the head. The hair was also off to what I had envisioned. After failing to drill a hole in the box-cutter blades, I simply hot-glued them onto the wire structure. The form of the blades looks more like a helmet, I am told, than actually hair.

Overall, the artwork is nice to look at, but it lacks the certain element that would make it more interesting to look at. I believe that making it larger would help the blades fit into the form better, or to find smaller blades. The neck needs to be fixed, defiantly, and the smaller wire should be condenser.

Story LINE: Mark Making Project

CRIT

For this project, we did individual critics, where the artist wasn't allowed to present their art work. The idea was to see if the viewer understude the intention of the marks made, without being told anything about the work. The piece I made went over well. I was proud that a lot of people understood the feeling and word that I was going of with this piece. I enjoyed the critic mostly because of the creative input they came up with, not to just improve the concept and idea, but for other ways we could work out a project with our knowledge of pop culture.
