Found Object Sculpture

To make this sculpture I had to figure out what to make and what I could use to make what and how to use what I had.

This magnificent Cash Register represents my sister she is rarely wrong, good with money and is good for business. Unlike a cash register it is not easy to push my sister's buttons and also unlike a cash register my sister is full of emotion.

POD: Principles of Design Notebook

In this book I am trying to tell the story of a little girl who got lost and was found by a small dog who took the little girl back to her father. The little dog belongs to a kind old woman.

To show the story I had to use a lot of cut outs from the xeroxes to show motion i had to take say one half of the xerox and put it on the other side.

The principles of design can be used to show a story by helping show the emotion in it like radial symmetry for being alone and also an image being unbalanced to show the same thing.

Self Portrait

The 2 aspects of my personality shown are a calm and passive and relaxed side of me and the other is a hot headed stubborn willful me.

 The struggles I had when painting this were my hair and the grid getting the grid to work out was a challenge because things that seem small are really much bigger on your face and I wanted to make what seemed small or in the middle be there when it really was bigger and more to the side. Also I had a struggle with mixing the colors to be right like mixing black is not an easy task. Also I struggled with figuring out what aspects of my personality I wanted to show. There was also the the time as shown I didn't get to putting on a nose that was easily visible. 

If I were to do this differently I would add more of the face like the nose and also try to put some sort of texture in the hair.

Scuplture Texture

Title: Standing Buddha offering Protection

Sculptor: Unknown

Substance: Red Sandstone

Time: Late 5th century

Area: India

How texture is used: Texture here is used to show the different articles of clothing and changes between substances like hair and skin. 

Why and where are different textures: The three textures are the knobbly ones on the head, the smooth skin and the wavy clothes. These textures are used to define the hair skin and cloths apart from each other. The knobbly hair because that his how the hair looked, smooth skin because the skin is the smoothest of the textures and finally the wavy clothes to show the clothes. The clothes may not have been wavy, but this is a good way to make the clothes look. 

Sculpture

Title: Man on a Bench

Sculptor: Duane Hanson

Time: 1997-1998

Area: ????

Story: The story is of a man who is sitting on a bench waiting for something.

Choices that help tell the story: It is made in the  "Hyper-real" style. This makes the sculpture look real my first thought when seeing this was it was a picture of a man sitting on a bench with a manila envelope in his hand. This choice makes the story seem very real. Also the man's expression is a very tired which makes it seem like he has been waiting for a very long time and just wants to sleep. After looking at it  for a very long time some of the things like the shape of his right hand and some of the shadows are wrong and I can tell it is wrong.

PS. Sorry it is up late i didn't realize i didn't post it on monday i was sick

Family/Changes over time

Title: The Griffon Family

Artist: Seth Macfarlane

Time: 2005

Country: USA

Title: Charles IV of Spain and his Family

Artist: Fransico Goya

Country: Spain

Time: 1800-1801

Differences: In the First the family is fighting and arguing. In the Second the family is orderly and polite looking.  In the first there are people fighting, scolding and being oblivious. The second is orderly neat  and presentable the all know what is happening and are in their best clothes for the occasion. In the first there are people in their messy whatever cloths and in play clothes clearly not wanting to be there.

Vision: In both the artists are trying to portray a family, one is trying to portray an accurate family and one is trying to show a family as it should be. In the first the family is as they always are, while the second does what people at the time thought they always were. 

My mistake I mixed up the assignments but I think this can still count for both of them if not please tell me
