Project 3 Leo .

I loved this project and it's because I didn't like the previous project. The it was interesting to see how people interpreted the project. I was one of the people how didn't start with 100 pieces method. I had a design in mind. I had a couple of concepts that I was entertaining, some of which were 3D. I landed on the composition you see today. In the planning of this project I had an idea, however when it came to execution it all sort of just happened. I worked off my base idea and ended up with something entirely new. I defiantly like this project better than the previous, but I think my project in its current state needs improvement and more happening.

Reflection:

Overall this project wasn't stressful, it was possibly even relaxing and satisfying to do. When I heard that we had to destroy our pieces I was very excited, as I had intended on doing that anyways. Personally I like this piece better than my original two. While I had originally intended to make roses out of the strips of paper that would have been far to tedious and time consuming to accomplish, so weaving them together was my next best bet. While having it unfinished looked cool, I decided to finish weaving the rest of the strips.

The day we were given this project, I decided to sit on the floor in my room and rip my two compositions into one hundred pieces. After everything was ripped up, I started to assemble my new composition with glue. I had a few things in mind that I wanted to capture with this piece. I wanted this piece to still have qualities from the first two pieces, such as organic and geometric shapes and texture. As a result, I made the shape of this piece an organic shape and kept geometric shapes on the inside. Equally important, my first two pieces had tons of texture within them. I wanted to transfer this texture to this pieces as well, but in a different way. To do this, I decided to layer most of the hundred pieces underneath and peel the top layer upwards so that you can see what is underneath the composition. Also, I made this rug like texture by simply bending the paper piece in half and gluing only one side down allowing the other side to stick upward. Overall, this composition turned out rather interesting and I am happy with the results. This project really taught me to let go of my pieces, and I really did. Not only did I rip two of my favorite compositions up into a hundred pieces, but I am also selling the reconstructed piece sometime this week.

From all the projects, by far this one was the most interesting one. I never would've thought of ripping my paintings into 100 pieces and then making another art piece out of it. I feel like it gave more feeling and importance to this project, because it was something completely different before and then renewed it another piece. I played around with warm and cool tones by making every other piece the opposite. I am planning on changing the medium I used to gel medium which give it more of a clean look.

Reflection:

My main focus for capturing inspiration was to find repeated geometric shapes. The geometry of architecture has always been an inspiration to me. The shapes almost become organic as they are repeated. That is how I approached the 2 compositions. The first composition's source image was the chainlink fence. The repetition almost starts to look like a cell pattern or tissue cells. The second was from architecture on campus. I this composostion I want led to play more with scale.

For me, This was difficult to find something to do with the cut up pieces. Cutting the originals wasn't hard though, but i guess i went a little crazy with the razor blade and cut too many pieces. I remember trying to arrange the pieces into something specific, but i couldn't really come up with anything. This was the problem for me, since i only used a few colors when making the original paintings. Ultimately i ended up arranging the pieces like this and glueing the pieces to this scrap piece of bristol. One thing i was thinking about was taking the piece of bristol and making a box out of it, Spray painting it with either chrome or blue paint, and glueing the cut up pieces to the box. For some  reason i didn't do that and just decided to glue it to the bristol as is. It was an interesting project, but i just wish i would have went with the idea i mentioned.

At first, I totally had no idea about how I was to even do this project. In the beginning I just cut up both of my compositions into small pieces and layed them out where I could see all the colors to try and get an idea how to do this project. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to put it back together. I sort of  then split all the colors from compositions into separate piles by color. I then used hot glue to put each separate pile of colors together then I glued all the little separate pieces to each other. I took all the black colored pieces and sort of made a border around the piece and separated all the colors from each other. I put this project together piece by piece and each piece I was putting together at first seemed like it wasn't going to look good or that I wasn't going to like it in the end but in the end, the piece turned out pretty good.
