Identity Essentials

I chose to do my photos on shoes. The shoes help you visualize the type of people you in those shoes, for example, the boots with the paint on them gives you the sense of a hardworking gentlemen who is usually considered older, the dirty tennis shoes gives off the appearence of a young man that uses these shoes when doing chores such as cutting the grass. These group of shoes actually tell a summarized story or a short timeline of my own life. It contains shoes that I wore while doing chores when i was younger, the shoes i would wear to parties in highschool, shoes I wore when i would help with construction, and shoes i wear now in college.

Exquisite Corps

First off i dont believe many people understood the in class part of this but these are the poems and pictures i ended with:

Shiny Grapes Overpower Smooth Cream beautiful

Nameless Boy Imprisoned Rough Beard

Dead Snowman Playing Scented Boot Peaceful

Sontag Photo Analysis

(Highschool Senior picture)



This photo was taken to not only show how handsome i am, but to serve as a good reminder for the future of my highschool career. this photot, to me, is kinda a symbol for celebration, because graduating highschool was a great achievment for me.

I dont really know who the photographer was but he said a lot of jokes to make people smile during their pictures.

this photo is to be viewed in a yearbook and looked back at down the road of life. It brings back many memories, good and bad, from highschool.

(Nephews- Left Jamarion, Right Jaylon)

This photo was taken to remind us that no matter how big my nephews get they will always be too small playful little boys.

The relationship between the photograper and subjects is that they are my nephews and you can actually see, based on their facial expressions, which one is the sweet and kind one and which one is the bad, always gettin in trouble one.

The contex that the photo show is no matter how they act around strangers, this photo shows their true personalities. 

(Unknown)

This photo was takin to capture a moment of celebration of friends at a toga party.

The Relationship between the photographer and subjects appear to be friendship because their all happy and sorta having a "real smile" feeling to it instead of the forced smile when a stranger is taking your picture.

the contex of this photo is so it can be viewed in the future and to remind the people in it of their fun times with old friends.

Bio Map

My life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bio-map, Map of my life, career paths, homes, relationships, childhood toys, games, every decision i have ever made in my life...


Final

For my Bio-map i went with a simple approach because i would describe my life as simple, I divided the head portion with the things i mainly think about like family, friends, video games, and fear. The map has small imperfections because i do not have a perfect life and i thought this was a good way to express that.

Project 33

Getting started

i guess the begining of this project was the day we did mark making with black india ink and twigs and brushes. We had to use view finders to cut out 33 different compositions to work with in the future...


Final

I was proud of the way my 33 project came together and was upset that we didn't get to discuss it in class. it was rough around the edges yes, but that was how the smaller compostion i started with was, I thought the assignment was to enlarge a composition we liked, not to create an entirely new one like most people did...

111 project

Lines, Lines, Lines

111 line drawings, I think thats self explanatory. I believe we will choose a favorite from these to create a large 24in. X 24in. final piece...


Final

I tried to paint my final 111 project but when i taped it off i guess the tape wasn't pressed down far enough because the edges weren't straight so decided to just make the lines with the tape itself, but still the T.A.'s marked it to be skipped, it wouldnt bother me if they skipped one of my pieces but skipping both doesn't make any sense. It feels like all of my hardwork was not good enough for discussion. Im still proud of my work though. it wasn't perfect I agree, but to not even discussone of my pieces is just upsetting.

Dot Composition

Friday, February 4, 2011

haha

This assignment was a little easier than i thought it would be, we had to take 2 of our dot composition and take photos of real objects and peple to represent the dots. i have the photos of people but haven't taken photos of the dot composition themselves... (and i apologize for not having on a clean shirt :) )
