Kalindi Henderson Final project

I was overthinking this project in the beginning but it was honestly so simple. I didn't really have fun doing this project since technically I didn't do anything but make instructions. However looking at the final product of this I'm pretty satisfied. It was interesting to see all the different eyes and the ages of people.

Alex "Paper Pallets"- Final Project

Materials:

 - paper plates with a wax coating

 - paint brush

 - watercolor paints

 - watercolor paper

 - water

Instructions:

 - Begin by applying watercolors of your choice to the paper plate.

 - Add some water and mix the colors to your liking.

 - Apply the paint to the watercolor paper with the paint brush.

 - Return to the pallet to pick up more paint (repeat as desired).

 - Add more paint and water as needed until it's determined the painting is complete.

 - Let the paper plate dry.

 - Collect paper plates from various painting sessions.

 - Plates can also be revisited as needed at a late date.

   I have a watercolor class this semester, and thought a relic of my paintings would be interesting. The paper pallets were saved up during the duration of this semester. Sometime I would revisit old paper pallets if I mixed an interesting color or if I didn't feel like mixing new colors (an attempt to be less wasteful as well as frugal). The plates read from left to right, with the pallet on the top left being the newest and the one on the bottom right being the oldest. As the pallets age, the colors tend to blur together more. 

   There really wasn't too much to document, as the pallets changed slowly over the course of a painting session. The movements of the painter are also not important, as many painting methods would result in similar paper pallets. Factors that change the look of the pallets are how long the pallet is worked, how thoroughly the colors are mixed, how much water is added, and how many different colors are used.

   This assignment was easy, but also interesting. The idea of the process as the artwork, and not the painting itself, was an interesting concept. I also enjoyed looking at the "evidence" of all the painting I've done this semester. It's interesting to think about what is considered art, and if the process of making art is also art.

Lauren Tokash - Final Project (Performing Design)

Animal Art

What You'll Need...

• Bristol Paper, whatever size fits the bowl (I have used 9x12)
• Spray bottle of water
• Artists' tape
• Type of food your animal consumes
• Dish/bowl for food
• Your pet!

Specifically for my animals, the horses, Nugget and Keebler, will be using...

• Tribute Equine Grain
• Liquid Aloe Vera (to help with stomach ulcers)
• Various treats such as carrots and peppermints
• A chance for alfalfa hay to get into their dish

The pigs, Leonard and Prince, will be receiving...

• Mazuri Mini Pig Feed

Directions for Horses

1. Place bristol paper in grain dishes, tape down corners.
2. Spray the paper with water in hopes the feed will pick up better on the paper. We chose bristol so the animals wouldn't destroy thinner paper.
3.  Give a scoop of grain for their afternoon feeding.
4. Add 1/2 cup of liquid Aloe Vera on top of the grain.
5. Let them question the paper at first then feast and slobber all over.
6. Let lesson students drop various treats in the dish throughout the day and let whatever pick up on the paper.
7. Feed again in the evening.
8. Gather the paper after the last feeding.

Directions for Pigs

1. Place bristol paper in ground feeders. Do not tape (they may eat it).
2. Spray paper with water.
3. Put a scoop of feed in each feeder. Separate feeders.
4. Take out paper as soon as they are done with morning meal. You may have to fight them for the paper.
5. Wait until evening feed, place new papers in ground feeders.
6. Spray paper with water.
7. Put another scoop in each feeder.
8. Gather paper once pigs are done eating.

Nugget is a pretty clean eater.

Keebler is a bit messier.

Pigs will be...pigs.

At the beginning of the project, I was not sure of what I was going to be able to do as I feel that some of my daily “things” could not be recorded. Looking back, so much could have been done as I just really needed to push myself with my mind on what I can do. When I came up with the idea of rather than using myself as a performing project, but something else I dearly love and am with daily, I thought it was perfect. I used horses and their feed schedule as they are fed 2-3x a day. I specifically picked our farm’s lesson horses who encounter people who drop them treats, leading them to have a potential for more residue on the paper. When I made my material choice, I went with bristol as it is a bit thicker and the horses and pigs I knew would be a bit rough on it. I added the spray water so it would be a bit more flexible and hope for more texture and remains from their feed. I did not get results as I imagined. I thought it would be a bit more gross and soaked into the paper, but it just left some residue. I did though, get some unexpected texture such as folds, tears and crinkles. Yes, I did actually have to fight for a paper from the pigs. On the two papers from Leonard the pig, he has the same tear in the same spot which I thought was pretty cool. Overall, I thought this project was interesting and I would like to do it again in a different way.

Sherhad Mazouri Final

So basically, I was gonna draw a circle on a paper every time I took a drink during the weekend. That was piling up to much on the paper, so I switched to every individual sip. I got a sheet full of circles from Friday through Sunday. It's not the most creative, or thought heavy project, but apparently it met the requirements. Maybe it would've looked better with color or something. It probably would have actually. Or maybe the paper should've just been bigger. Plus, if drank more intentionally, I could've added like twice the circles. A bunch more overlapping in a scribbled way probably would go over better in an art class.

Sherhad Mazouri Project 6

Not all too sure what to say about this one. It sounded like a lot at first, but we had more days to work on it than I figured we would. I feel like the first step with the textures kinda gets lost in translation, but that may or may not be the point... I'm not all too sure. Mine came out alright I think.

kalindi henderson project 6

Fun project. Instructions were a little unclear to me in the beginning but then I understood it and was able to enjoy myself with this project. Glad I had a reason to dig up my old pokemon cards.

Project 6- Mack Need

Project 6 was something I enjoyed. I like how the collages we made, were transformed into a more 3D, dynamic art piece. I used the texture rubbing of a vent to provide the background for my collage as well as this piece. I was able to recreate it by neatly-folding the paper to create creases and depth. I wanted to maintain my use of geometric shapes that I have been utilizing this semester. In order to keep the triangles around, instead of pasting some on top, I created the beneath later for more depth. The cylinders on top are the main focus of the piece, but altogether it coincides well. I like that there is order inside of the chaos this time, provided by the lined/textured background and the arrangement of the tubes. Looking at it now I enjoy how much the background puffs up to enhance the layers and push forth the cylinders/tubes. Using just black paper and pins was somewhat limiting but as for the concept it works well. I took a colorful collage piece and came out with a bold contrasting piece. I enjoyed using and learning the process in order to reach this outcome!
