Other classmate's Xerox Projects

Victor: Your project was very clear! I liked that you filled up the entire board with all the different parts of your body.
Taylor: Using a mirror was very creative, especially because you turned your own hands into a tree. The glitter was an added bonus!
Adam: Your take on using your own hands as a frame was interesting. I also liked the fact that you enlarged your hands to make them look bigger.

Xerox Project

I really enjoyed doing this project. It made me think about how to use my body to made an interesting piece of art. Initially, I felt strange copying my body in public, but then once I was used to it it got fun. I tried to use the hands on the bottom of my project as though they were trying to acquire material things, and progress upwards to other parts of my body. My favorite part of my project is that fact that I used color, it made mine a little more unique.

Grid Art Project

Please check out my grid art project and feel free to make any comments! THANKS!

Grid Art Project

I found the grid projects to be quite creative. Everyone had so many different interpretations on what they believed constituted for a grid, which made it exciting to see. I went back and forth on many different possible ideas for a grid, and chose to do the eye. To me, I love looking into people's eyes. I think someones eye tells so much about a person. So, taking the original colorful eye and scaling it into a very different piece of art was fun to do. I hope people could enjoy my point of view when it came to the grid project!

Victor: your idea of using Pac Man to represent a grid on grid was really bright and creative.
Taylor: Your reflecting grids was a really unique take on the project.
Makayla: the way you used Mosaic tiles on your lamp turned into a beautiful project.
Ryan: next time draw your grid first than add the picture and color.
John: coffee to create a giraffe was a great use of natural substances! Very different.
Perri: you decomposed a grid in a creative way with the badminton racket and bright colors.
Stacy: I really thought that you had one of the most creative projects out everyone! Using Now and Later wrappers looked very time consuming, but turned out great!
Bernie: Your project was very colorful. I liked how you took many little flowers to make one big one.
Matt: The fact that you drew your on a man made grid must have been difficult. Nice job represented a guitar!
Adam: WOW! Your project amazed me how you used Christmas lights to represent a grid!
Murad: You used a unusual texture, which made your grid different from others which I liked.
Shawn: You used a very recognizable grid (chessboard) Possibily could have made it a little more creative.
Brenden: Your picture of the great wave turned out to be very beautiful. You shaded very well.

world of video games

HALO, one word that means so much to so many boys and men around the world. This game has taken over the lives of millions, just one silly video game. This video game epidemic has been ongoing since the first days it was invented. It is truly unreal to see how so many people can be so completely enthralled by sitting in front of a monitor playing game after game. Granted, Super Mario is a classic and is always enjoyable to play, but it has never taken over my life like many others elsewhere. I'm not that familiar with many of the games which where discussed in the film this past class so I don't have that much to say. However, I'll be back to talk about the more recent phenomenon known as the video game world.

grid art project

WHAT TO DO! I've contemplated a number of different things to do. I keep having a hard time, I don't know if it's because I'm trying too hard to be creative or what my problem is. I've ripped things apart, starting creating my own grids and haven't gotten very far. It's going to be much more difficult than I thought. I've thought of laundry baskets, fences, pictures, finger pants, even clothing to represent different grids. Someone pleeeeeease help me and give me some direction!

impact television

Like everyone knows, TV has played, and still does play, a huge role in society. After talking with my gramma about how radio impacted her life growing up, I thought it would be beneficial to discuss TV with my father. Being born a "baby boomer" my father said TV became part of everyday life. It was interesting to look at the www.mztv.com website with him because he is was around through the timeline. Like most, he can recall exactly where and what he was doing with President Kennedy was assinated. He told me that it was similar to the 911 of my lifetime. He talked about watching MLK's amazing speech on his parents black and white TV. To him, like the rest of America TV was not just an entertainment source it was also an important news and historical source. TV has truly and will continue to touch the lives of millions.
