The One With The Final Presentation

Haha! Now with this we recap the year and I am done. Now I just need to not fail art history and I think I'm good. Here is a video of the keynote that shows all the projects.

The Final (countdown)

Last assignment for the semester. It was hard, I don't like the final product, but we were ambitious and did a lot. Oh well, here it is.

Oops I Never Posted About This One


This was my grandma cactus, she is the best. I had to make an organic structure based off of her that i could wear.

This was a rough first prototype, I based it off of the idea of a barbed sword. Barbed like the cactus and a sword wrapped around the arm like an extension of the arm, like those little arms that come out of cactuses
Ya know, like this

Then I made these but they were too sword like (and a lot of fun)

Then I made these so it was kinda like an more full body thing but I was straying too far away from the original idea (and it was hard to get into)

Then cut myself a bunch making the barbs



Finally we have this. It's twisted to move away from the sword idea and the barbs are placed more porously to make it more like the cactuses barbs. I only made the one so I could focus on just that. In total I made 5 swords over the corse of the project. It was a blast but terrible on my hands.

That Last Symposium

It was about finding our voice as an artist, but the two presenters mainly talked about their voice and never related it back to how we can find ours. Sure, they had interesting perspectives and unique lives that lead to good work, but that's all I learned about. I still don't know what my voice is. I don't know how I'll find it. This symposium was going to be really helpful but the only advice I thought was good was good came from a question, don't try too hard to live life. Just let it happen and the important stuff will come. Basically don't be fake af and you'll be good.
