Bloody Dream.. final project

In this life we dream. There is a good dream and a bad one. But we wish the good dream always to come true. However, life is not easy and the good dream won’t come true. I feel my life is only a dream, a dream which will be only a bloody dream.

 I made this sculpture from clay I made at home. Catherine clay made of corn starch and glue.

Jeremy Eisner Clay Bouquet Final Project

This is my final project, I call it the clay bouquet. These flowers are made from clay as the name describes, but also from a single chopstick that the clay was molded around. Each individual flower is a solid form that when put together, act as units in a modular bouquet. Being that we are in a time where stopping to smell the flowers is considered unsafe for being outside for too long, I felt I had to bring nature to me in some way. Each flower in particular is a Tulip because I had another thought about a now recent holiday. Mother’s day was upon us and I felt that at this time, it would become very difficult to go out window shopping for my mom, and ordering online would take too long. So, I figured, why not make something that not only represents the inability to go outside, but make something that would make my mom happy. Each flower is molded after Tulips which are her favorite type of flower and the colors represent our family by color preference. Blue is my favorite color, purple is my Dad’s favorite color, and Yellow is my mom’s favorite color. Overall, I am very pleased with how my flowers came out despite some hardships along the way, but I hope that you all like it as much as I had fun making them.

Dream Catcher Carmen Diaz Final piece

I decided for my Final to create a Nature dream catcher. I Have always liked the way dream Catchers looked. I chose to go with tree patterns in the middle because I love nature it’s very near and dear to me and I wanted to have something that could hang above me in a way where I was myself closer to dreams full of nature. It was a mixture of cloth popsicle sticks and string to create this piece. Sadly I didn’t have any feathers to attach to the bottom of the strings but soon I can make the update.

The gray was an old cotton t-shirt that I used to wrap around the glued popsicle sticks that formed and hexagon. I tried to color in the tree with some leftover gold glitter I had from a previous project but It didn’t fully get through all the pieces of string and therefore came out a bit messy. But overall I love the way it came out. I created my own Dream Catcher!

Blue Tree-Final

For my final, I did a wire three since I wanted to do something as a representation of the spring. I use a different type of wire for the trunk, and only use the weak wire for the branches, I used a plastic leaf, and paint it blue and the trunk brown.

My inspiration for the spring is that since we are in quarantine we haven’t got to enjoy the spring, so I decide to create something that reminds me this spring and also for my birthday which was this past Friday.

This tree has a  linear form.

 

Final Project

For my final project, I created a mask from the foam board and painted it. The idea came from everyone wearing masks outside now. I measured it so that I would be able to actually wear it as a mask. The inspiration came from Darth Revan’s Mandalorian helmet and the kanohi masks from the Lego Bionicle franchise. Also, it was originally influenced by the idea of a welder’s mask. I chose the colors orange and dark grey because of the contrast and it reminds me of the glow of molten steel.
