XTRA 1: Merged Image







Baroque Flower 

Baroque Flower is a merge between a sunflower and baroque spoons. In place of the sunflower petals I drew a variety of baroque spoons - using the bowl of the spoons for petals and the intricate designs of the neck to create the center. When originally deciding what to do I came up with the idea of using the bowls of the spoons as flower petals after I noticed that a lot of the spoons already had shapes that resembled petals and leaves. I appreciated that even though all of the spoons were baroque style each spoon still had it's own individuality to it and I wanted that to still be noticeable within the drawing.

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.

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.

A5: Xerox

Battle of the Birds For my xerox art I decided to style it after Andre Masson's sand art. I tried to follow the same kind of process of trying to draw with my subconscious by involving chance. I cut out the general outline for the xerox images and then I randomly ripped and threw them onto the canvas. From there I started to rearrange them to try and form some sort of monster and I ended up getting the two bird like creatures. After I had those formed I took a bottle of glue and I started to randomly spread it around the canvas and then I flung sand onto it and waited until I thought the glue had dried before tipping it over to get rid of the excess. I added some red charcoal masks to distinguish the eyes and then more or less at random everywhere else. I titles it battle of the Birds as a play on Andre Masson's sand art Battle of the Fishes.
