Squid Sculpture
I finished my squid sculpture Monday night. It’s a squid made out of 11,400+ cotton swab tips. It took about 2 1/2 weeks to complete.
Set Sail
Our next project in 3D design was assigned; we have to use common materials in an uncommon way. An example would be using dirt and leaves for a couch. So we can just build up to an object that is uncommon. I’ve decided to use cotton swabs as my only material. There might be a shortage in San Marcos by the time I am done. What I have planned to build is set, but I won’t say yet. I can say that it has a ocean theme. I’ve been setting the mood so that I can be inspired. The first thing I thought of was music. There is nothing better than chanting sailor shanties to make this project come together. I went on iTunes to find a few CDs. So I bought the Maritime Crew album and The Seadogs album. They are fantastic albums to me; I could listen to this all day, which I have been doing. The Seadogs have more of the traditional maritime songs.
Last night I decided to draw the nautical flag alphabet for myself. The hues aren’t very traditional, but I thought I’d make it match my style. After I finished this I wanted to change my Twitter picture to use the flags. I chose to use NSS along with my silhouette. Once that was finished I needed to redesign the Twitter page as well. So I drew these “deadly” ocean waves for the background.
I’ll be really busy with the end of the semester coming up. After it’s over I’ll be moving to a new apartment, and then summer courses.
First Update
I posted the work I did last semester in 2D Design and the websites. It will be building up in the couple of days because I have another website to work on; the work is almost complete. I might post the drawings I did as soon as I figure out a better way to take photos of them. All of the 2D work is scanned in except for Order to Chaos. I think this is my favorite out of all of them.
Portfolio
I turned in both my Drawing and Design portfolios this morning. I think I did good on most of the projects. Once I get them back I will post them on here and on Coroflot.
Well here is a preview of the design portfolio. It doesn’t have the repeated project because I was still working on it at the time.
The final exams are approaching. We still need to go over the material in philosophy, and I have to give my presentation for communication. Those are the only two courses I actually have exams for, and my two art courses still have to meet as a final.I have my advising appointment this afternoon.
