My first idea did not work so this time I'm going to be connecting rings for the body of the animal. Thus using engage and persist. I am also understanding the art world by taking inspiration from the paper structures in the hallway display to figure out how to connect my strips of paper.]]> 2018-02-16 13:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/232304655 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/232771031 This is my progress so far on my fish, it did not exactly turn out like a dolphin like I had planned. I am pleased with how it resulted. ]]> 2018-02-18 23:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/232771031 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/232771399 My day one progress mainly consisted of planning my project out on the book. I then created a stand up wave as well as starting to cut a whole through the right side of the book.]]> 2018-02-18 23:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/232771399 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/233251366 Envision: I am envisioning my process by writing out on the book where I plan on placing any paper figures I create.  My project, once completed, will have paper structures on the book.  That book will sit in front of a larger book which will present a picture of the sky during sunset as a background.

Understanding the Art World:  I am taking inspiration from my classmates, as well as the paper projects in the hallway which was previously mentioned.

Engage and Persist: By looking for inspiration, I am viewing other possibilities of how to build the paper together. Such as creating what was once going to be a dolphin. I was folding paper and glued it together which unfortunately did not give it the ability to bend. So in the previous image posted, it demonstrates what resulted when I came up with a different solution.]]> 2018-02-20 13:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/233251366 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/234249169 I learned that I need to develop more acrylic techniques. Today I painted the pages of my books blue and white. I observed how the waves would look next to the pages and I decided to paint the waves blue as well so the project would flow. So far I like my project even though it looks kind of empty. Once I finish the book I plan on cutting out poster board for the base of the books. I am going to stretch and explore by creating oragami next class.]]> 2018-02-22 14:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/234249169 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235333765 Today, I have noticed that the pages of my book that were painted blue are folding up.  I plan to find a way to glue them down without ruining the layout of my project.  Once I figure that out, I will try to find something heavy to flatten the book in order to attach the waves properly.  From last class, I observed my project and made a realization that the fish that I created was way too long for the left page of the book.  So, I decided to cut a majority of the round strips off so the animal would not take up most of the page, because it is not the main part of my project.  Today I will begin the origami hopefully, considering the internet wasn't working well last class.  If that doesn't work out, I will begin working on the background of my project in the meantime until I find another solution. ]]> 2018-02-26 13:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235333765 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235341609 Here is my fish structure that I downsized from the previous one. I added fins and place a strip up front to finish it off. It seemed to work well and I am very satisfied with how it turned out.]]> 2018-02-26 13:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235341609 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235834473 This image shows the pages of my book curling up after I painted them. ]]> 2018-02-27 13:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235834473 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235836000 Before I had the book open facing upwards with my laptop on it. Unfortunately, that wasn't working out well, and my book was not turning out as flat as I wanted it to be. So, I grabbed three decently heavy books to place onto my book and I layed the book out facing downwards.]]> 2018-02-27 13:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235836000 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235837558 Update:   The internet is working today and by stretch and explore, I am going to create origami which I have no clue what I'm doing, so I hope this turns out well.  Instead of a sea monster I'm going to create and eagle ray because I feel like it would look better in my project.
Update 2:  I have looked at one website and two different origami YouTube videos and it is way more difficult than I expected.  During this I was stretching and exploring techniques and the art of origami. But in order to overcome my challenge I'll have to try a different approach. I am going to work on the background for my project, and next class I will hopefully have a solution to my problem.]]> 2018-02-27 13:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/235837558 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/238636873 Today I developed more with the background of my project by cutting out pictures and merging them in the sky pictures. ]]> 2018-03-06 14:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/238636873 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244773058 Today I completed my project's background, and i was understanding the art world by using some ideas from other classmates.  One classmate had use pieces of smaller pictures in order to create a completely different image.  So I took images of objects of shapes from other books to add more detail to the images in my larger book.]]> 2018-03-21 21:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244773058 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244776570 I decided that instead of creating origami, I am going to construct a boat out of paper. I will sit it in the cut out hole tilted slightly sideways.]]> 2018-03-21 22:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244776570 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244777460 I have completed my boat and glued that and my fish down to my book pages.]]> 2018-03-21 22:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244777460 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244778089 2018-03-21 22:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244778089 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244779398 Now that I have taken my project home I have cut out a piece of foam poster board as the base of my project.]]> 2018-03-21 22:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244779398 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244779795 I have also decided to paint the right top corner of my book to resemble sand, as well as painting the sides of my book so the previous paint job did no look as messy. I painted on small orange fish to add contrast to the blue of the water.]]> 2018-03-21 22:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244779795 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244780424 On my base, I painted half of it black and half of it white to resemble the day and night contrast of my background.]]> 2018-03-21 22:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244780424 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244798566 My project more or less represents a contrast between night and day by the water. What I like about my project is how the background and the structured turned out in the end. I dislike that my project was not as elaborate like I had planned and I should have done a better job of planning out my ideas and alternate solutions. From this project I learned that many ideas can come from recycled objects, and that there are so many possibilities of how you can work with paper projects.]]> 2018-03-22 00:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244798566 fry507 https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244933625 2018-03-22 11:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/fry507/w921rxoomf42/wish/244933625
