Chocolate any one?

this project has been the most fun in this class. It has also been the messiest. Using flour, water and chocolate to cover ourselves and make shapes was harder then it looked yet still fun. Now as we discovered in the beginning stage flour doesn't just stick to you, you must add water to make it stick to your skin or else it will fall off. The chocolate part was the hardest. We knew how we were going to put it on just not how we were going to make all the squares work. It is much harder to make squares on you then it is circles. You have to get them precise and chocolate is not a very precise substance. But in the end this project turned out to be amazingly fun and i had a blast doing it.

The Exquisite Corpse 2

The Exquisite Corpse

This is a project we had in lecture class. We had to come up with a sentence in our table groups. Mine is: An iridescent puppy green a sloppy white. Now given there is only one noun and no verb or second noun, I managed to come up with my inspiration. I thought about the main focus which I believed was the puppy part. I used the colors as props thinking of toys for dogs and such. The white was more for the color of the dog. And when I think of iridescent, I think of light bulbs. So I used lighting also as part of the picture.

lecture

Today's lecture was so interesting. I learned a lot that iI never really thought about. Now at first I thought this is silly and weird, but as we were doing all these different activities I got the point of it. Taking your mind off of what you are trying to do helps you. Playing a game with friends can help generate fresh, new ideas. This gives you the chance to broaden the ideas. You can think of how to enlarge it or minimize it, how to make it different, or just how to place it together. These activities really help. Now we were asked where we come up with ideas. They strike me at the most random times. Like, for instance, over the summer I was washing dishes with my sister and had a great idea. As soon as I was done I sketched it out and then begin to figure out how I wanted to execute it. Ideas come to me when I go for my runs at night, while I am in the shower, while I am cleaning, or just when I am doing nothing. It is when I am not thinking about anything that ideas flow better. That was also explained in class today. These new techniques we were shown in class today are really good ways to clear your head and come up with really good ideas.
