BP1

My name is Ivette, and if you're wondering how that is supposed to be pronounced the answer is nobody knows. I'm Puerto Rican, the youngest of five and the only one out of my siblings not born on the island. I was born and raised in Rhode Island, but my family moved to Florida a few years back. I'm currently a junior and majoring in animation, which is something I've always been really passionate about. I was a terrible person to watch cartoons with as a child as a result of this though.

I'm taking the class as part of my degree requirement but a lot of the topics that we will be focusing on in class are topics that I'm already interested in which I thought was cool. I have a bit of an obsession with broadway musicals like Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton, mostly because of the music/ songs. My expectations for the class are to learn more about art and technology, specifically learning more about how the two subjects operate in relation to one another. I'm also hoping that I'll be able to create some cool artwork that I can use for my portfolio.

A6: Performance Art

For my performance art piece I dressed up in my Spryo the dragon onesie and walked around the park, picking up "treasure" while I played music from the original game through a small speaker attached to my bag. I wanted to do something a bit more fun and humorous and given that Spyro is a pretty iconic/ recognizable character I thought I would be able to get better reactions from other people. Both the music and my actions of picking up gems/treasures were from the original game Spyro the Dragon . Not that many people gave noticeable reactions to my performance, most would smile but then look away very quickly or they would simply ignore me. The best reactions I got came from children and people who seemed to recognize who I was dressed up as. The entire experience was not that much fun for me, I got hot very quickly inside the onesie walking around the park, my view was blocked because of the way the hoodie was designed,  and needless to say it was pretty embarrassing. I...

XTRA 2: ASCII ART

It is pretty cool the amount of detail and complexity people are able to create with ASCII art using just a set number of characters. From a distance the more complicated ASCII art even looks like pointillism art. There are others as well where the image itself only becomes clearer the further away or smaller the image is from your view.  Browsing through some of the images the first thing that really comes to mind is the amount of thought that had to go behind each image - having to plan out which characters to combine together to create not just the general outlines of the images but the depth and lighting as well. It's difficult enough drawing something like this but to create it through the use of pre-determined characters is pretty wild.

A4: Grid Art

Diabetes Symbol For my grid art I created the diabetes symbol using expired and or used diabetic supplies that I had. I thought that it was be cool to create the symbol out of supplies used for the disease it is advocating for. My reference image was used as more or less a general guideline and so the final product looks pretty different. I started off by making an actual grid on a poster board using yellow sticky notes that were about 2 x 1.5 inches - and after creating the grid I ended up cutting it to a size where it fit snugly inside a flat box (for safety and movability reasons). The art itself was constructed outside of the box. The first three rows were made by glueing down lancets; the next row is a combination of lancets and transfer guards; the row after that are all needle housings; and the final rows area all pen needles. I painted the lancets that make up the blood drop in the center red, although it dried into a sort of magenta. And I painted the second and t...
