Final Project - Carissa Chacon

I really enjoyed doing this project. I had a lot of fun incorporating something that I do on a daily basis - my makeup. For about a week, any time that one of my family members or myself would walk into my room, we had to do a little bit of everything. One splash of foundation, one splash of concealer, a dab of blush, draw a line using eyeliner, scrape mascara underneath the line, swatch any type of eyeshadow, and lastly, pick a lipstick and kiss the board. I might've went a bit overboard with the instructions and materials to use, but I wanted the project to really focus on something that I do on a daily basis, which is using all of those products. The project itself was messy, but I liked it because it gave the project character. Not to mention, doing a full face of makeup is always messy. Overall, I really enjoyed having complete freedom with this project and being able to express myself one last time with something that I enjoy the most. Thanks for an awesome and fun semester, Jessica!

Project #6 - Carissa Chacon

For this project, I had a very difficult time trying to gather my ideas and how I wanted to go about with it. I ended up missing class the day we started this project and was a bit lost afterwards. I feel like I did my best to complete the guidelines since I was in a bit of a rush to do this project, but I know this project could've had more potential. Unfortunately, my 3D effect that I wanted to create didn't come out as well as I wanted it to and I had some trouble with the pins and the foam core board. Overall, I wish I had done better on this project, but I know I did my best as far as completing guidelines.

Sydney Oliva projects 6 and Final

Project 6 was easily one of my favorites all semester. I loved my finished collage more than any other piece in this class, and was pleasantly surprised that I liked the black paper version. I don't think I would do anything different if I did this project again. 

The Final Project ended up giving me more ideas for future projects than being successful in its own right. It was a good exercise, and I want to do similar things in the future to broaden my horizons in art. 

Thanks for a rockin semester!

Simone Freeman Last Project and Final

Project  6 came out pretty interesting. I started with my collage which consisted of newspaper paper an old manga book that i cut up and the texture pattern drawn from my wall in the bedroom in my house. Overall i think the Black paper turned out well. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning because i was not sure how i was going to transfer 3 different layers onto a large scale like this. I think it worked well together and I had fun doing this project

             2. When ready the next day to apply new eyeshadow take your dirty brush and a toilet paper square or paper towel and clean off brush. to clean: move your brush in a circular motion on the square  with picking a new spot every 6 spins until the brush is clean.
             3. repeat tis for as many days as wanted.

REFLECTION:

     This project was very interesting. My original idea was to put tracing paper over my keyboard and type what I had to for that day using paint dipped fingers but it didn't really work out at all. so what I did instead was to do what I do every morning and that is to clean my eyeshadow brush. I recorded it for 10 days and for three I didn't wear makeup  so I put no makeup on a square. this project was fun.

REFLECTION:

        For this project I found the rubbings from around the classroom. I didn't know where I wanted to go with this project but it worked out in the end. The main rubbing that I chose for my background was that of an arrangement of tape on the table, this is what is repeated over and over again. For the collage I didn't know at first if I should find things on google and put them together and then I thought that wouldn't really look good so I found a vogue magazine laying around my house so I used that and found amazing things to put together to make something I love. Then came time for the black paper, I will admit that my figure layers are a little bit to small and my bottom textured layer was to big, so with that I'm a little upset with. but the good thing with the big background layer the tape design wasn't lost. I made sure with the figures I paid attention to the details of the textures and made sure they were present. overall though some things went wrong or different then what I intended it still worked out and gave focus to the textures.
         

Extra Final Art Project- Mack Need

I originally did this as my main final, but then I realized it was much more expressive and should be used for my extra credit one. This is based off the original picture of myself that a friend of mine and I collaborated on. It is about vanity and being trapped by it. I was inspired to do the red prison-bar-type design once I cut out the "Danger" red ribbon on my collage. It is dangerous to be so sucked into superficial things these days. The photo shows me taking a selfie. We did a whole series shoot on selfies and vanity. The woman is faceless because she's meant to be. Lacking of substance and blinded by the way others might see her. Again, I am very passionate about psychology and people and why we do what we do. I took this project as an opportunity to show that. I also added elements such as twigs and stickers to mimick my sleeve. I used an old phone case to replace the phone and add a 3D element. 

Final Art Project

Materials needed: 

gouache paint-green (anxious), red(happy), yellow(content), and blue(sad)
Bristol board

blunts 

your own thumb 

What to do: 

Step 1:
When you wake up, cover your thumb print in the gouache that best describes your mood. 

Step 2:

Press thumb on Bristol board to make a print. 

Step 3:

Use Bristol board as a way to put out blunts through-out the day. 

Step 4:

Before bed, repeat step one. 

Step 5:
Repeat step two. 

Step 6:

Repeat these steps for 7 days until there is one weeks worth of markings. 

Step 7:

Notice any correlations that may have been made. 

When I approached this final, I knew the only thing I do every single day that could be documented, is smoking. I use it for motivation, anxiety, pain, happiness, etc... 

The correlations were not as obvious as I had hoped, because I honestly did not have as many materials (blunts) as I would have liked. However, it does seem like the days that I smoked less I may have ended up less likely to be happy. I wanted to simply make it a little experiment for myself considering my major is Psychology and I'm passionate about it.
