Are ideas for the Palladio project

        In Cyber Arts we have a project to create a video that will go along with a piece of classical music called Palladio. We as a group thought that it would be pretty cool to make ours like a visualizer. These are a few ideas of things that we would like to use in a video.

The image above is a still of a fractal.A fractal is a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. We liked the look of fractals and it reminded us of life and how things grow decay and a new thing is born. And that is part of our concept evolution and life.

The image above is a photo of a rorschach inkblot test this image is to test the psychological mind of a person usually used by a psychologist. We really liked the look of these images and thought about animating them. We would create then photograph at least one hundred of these and the animate them. We would start with small ones then medium then large so that it looks like they are evolving.

I am writing a artist statement for this and i will post very soon.

In CyberArts we were asked to photograph a spinning object and this object is my ceiling fan. I choose my ceiling fan cause well i spend a lot of time watching it spin>

Sharkbird

Shark bird

  This image was produced from a lino cut. The goal of the of the project was to create a print that was a bird. In my case, I choose something that I had created in my spare time, a Sharkbird. This crazy creation originally was a stuffed animal, half cardinal, half shark. Both were cut in half and then sewed together. I chose to use Sharkbird as my subject matter because in the past I

often experimented with building sculptures out of found objects and parts of toys I had taken apart. The colours I chose for this piece where red for the

cardinal, gray for the shark, blue for the sky and white representing the lines. In the beginning I found this project quite difficult especially because I had to make ten replicas. Some other problems I had were, mixing the paint because some days I could replicate that colour and other days the paint wouldn't want to mix. Registration of each layer was also difficult. Overall I found the project challenging but fun.  

Recon Helmet

Recon Helmet

  My helmet is based off a helmet from Halo 3. It is used in the online portion of the game. The way I created this helmet was by printing out a net on cardstock. I had to build it piece by piece which took a very long time. The next step was to coat it with liquid resin on the outside and fiberglass resin on the inside. This made it rock hard. The last steps were to sand and paint. The additions I made to it were a visor and padding. The helmet took me about five weeks. It was a very tedious and time consuming project but completely worth it. The next thing I would like to do is coat it with Plasti Dip which is a plastic spray on coating much like something you would apply to the handle of a pair of pliers.
