View From My Window: Cut Paper

This is my final product that came upon completing the project. I wouldn’t call it the neatest, but I still think it shows that I made quite an effort to do it and complete it in the time it took me, which was three hours. When I was cutting out the black paper, I didn’t use an exacto knife, since I did not have one at the time, luckily I had a sharp blade I was able to use to get the job done, and judging by the look of the final piece, I still have a lot to learn about using a blade to cut clean lines, which in my opinion was the hardest part. I had scissors to help make it look more smoother, but it didn’t help too much. If given the chance, I would go back and do it again, if time was not such a restraint.

Today, September 15, we discussed a majority of different things that had to do with our first project. We talked about the next few things we need to do for our final work due Wednesday. Our professor posted the guidelines for the thing we had to do. It’s a bit overwhelming, but it will help us do things in such a way that the way we see it will be interpreted in many ways. What we have to do next is pick 2 stable and 2 ambiguous drawing that we already have and to cut out ONLY the black part of that drawing but in black paper. Then you paste these shapes onto the 14×17 Bristol pad with the measurements of 5×7. While discussing about our next steps, we also had a group critique of our Inked work we had to do over the weekend. All of them were amazing, and some just had to do some adjustments. We talked about the purpose of Economy and Community within this project and how an image could be or stable and more ambiguous. At the end, our professor explained how to use an Xacto knife, so that we don’t have to cut our fingers. So careful everyone ! We mostly discussed and worked in groups today, and all we have to do now is follow the guidelines that is on her website and complete our final work that is DUE WEDNESDAY ! :)
