A2: Flip Book

Hamsters




 Hamsters is a short flip book animation about, as the title obviously states, two hamsters. I wanted characters that were simple in design and would be easy enough to draw repetitively. There was not really much inspiration or thought to the original idea. I had just decided I wanted to draw something cute and this was how it started off. I have a habit of trying to involve some sort of story into my art so as I continued to draw each frame the story developed a bit more. Originally it was just going to be the first hamster being attacked by cherries, but I got bored with the idea after after drawing the third cherry and drew in the second hamster so that is could have some sort of interaction with the first one to make the story more interesting.

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...

A3: Kuri

Ivette Torres Professor Roundtree Art and Technology March 1st, 2018 Kuri is described as being a home and companion AI robot. Originally built to be a security robot, Kuri's creators decided to focus on a robot for companionship rather than protection. Kuri is more or less a robot designed for interaction and entertainment. The biggest influence from previous decades for Kuri, and basically all robotics, would be the automaton. Automaton were mechanisms that performed human functions and typically, but not always, had a human-like aesthetic as part of their designs. Some examples of automaton would be   Jacques Vaucanson’s automan of a pooping duck in which he constructed a mechanical duck that would eat seeds and poop them out and  Wolfgang von Kempelen chess playing automaton – which turned out to be a complete scam but encourage other engineers to create automaton that could actually perform complex actions.

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...
