Observations.
1) I'm the only one in my class that's using this awkward blogger. Sweeeeettttttttt
2) My art book is the study of crows. Yeah, that's right. I said it. CROWS. Who knew birds would be my Achilles' heel? I've been observing these harbingers of bad news for some time. I like to draw them, even if it looks like a bunch of scribbles. Maybe I should work on that...

Yaaaaay
The nails were tapping, it was so wonderful.
Look! I have fingers! Also, this is more of the design for the book.
yay!
Pocket Shrine
Well, there I am-- confined into a kitchen matches box.
I used toothpicks to make a brooklyn-bridge-look-alike, and then used some cord to show the cables on the bridge. I also put a negative strip of a self-portrait assignment, and made a wire star. Then a shell hung on wire. Last but not least, there's a little Jade collaged in the back of the box.
I put the shell in my shrine because I simply love the sea. I feel the most connected to the sea... or rather large bodies of water. I'm just fascinated that such a heavy mass can be so light in small portions.
I also put a copper star in my pocket shrine because when I write music or poetry, I always tend to look at the stars. I find the galaxies and the cosmos the most amazing things on the planet.
52 Faces.
This is a semsester-long project, focusing on "defacing" a pack of 52 cards and making it our own. We're using these cards (in my opinion) showing our progression of how we see things throughout the semester. I think it's a cool way to see how you used to think and then how you think now.
Here is my first 5:
Here is my first 5:
My first card! I decided to cut on the cards because the sharpie wasn't working. (And I've always wanted to cut on these cards!)
Second card! I liked the idea of the wrapping wire, so I started sewing on the cards.
My third card. (The ugly cousin.) Same idea as the second card, but instead of cord, I used wire.
Fourth!
I always look at the 9 of spades as a skull.
Art 21: Gabriel Orozco
I personally really enjoyed Gabriel Orozco's work, because he experimented and he played with materials. He observed his environment and that influenced his work. Orzoco let the world influence him, and created really interesting pieces, such as the Ping Pong Pond table. Orzoco experiments in every material and what he produces is amazing.
I also liked that he didn't have a studio. He said that the studio becomes a solitude-like place and then that's where you forget the world. I also agree, but I do have to admit-- it's wonderful to have your own space where you could do whatever you want!

John Cage's Game Theory
The piece I picked from John Cage's Game Theory is his piece, Arch (Rainbow). He used what seems to be wood scraps to create an arch with several different painted wood pieces. I was attracted to this piece because I enjoyed the shadows that this object created.
The four relationships I had to focus on while analyzing this piece was chance, strategy, participation and play.
John Cage's Arch (Rainbow) is a daring piece, because he uses non-linear wood scraps to create some sort of a rainbow. Using wood was obviously a risk/chance that he made, because if John Cage wanted a realistic rainbow, he would have used wood that was linear and would have done something that really looked like a rainbow. However, because he used wood in a non-linear way, he was able to abstract the idea of a rainbow.
Also with this piece, his strategy was to be completely abstract and also kind of play with the material wood.
