Timeline My planned and actual timeline had been adjusted slightly after campus shut down, but with this being a pretty flexible project I wasn’t worried about little alterations in my timeline. My actual process is shown below, and the major changes described following. March 28th: Redirection in my aesthetic for my sweatshirt into harajuku, “mode…

Inspiration When I had first started thinking of inspiration for this project, I wanted to work with something I enjoy and am passionate about. I started thinking about all of the opportunity behind clothing, and how you can make a piece of clothing out of really any material if you design and construct it right.…

With the challenging transition of COVID-19 and a change in vision for my final project, I have decided to create a piece of clothing from other clothing with the aesthetics of Harajuku and “the mode style” fashion. The combination of being expressive and confident in creating something new while maintaining a more monotone, minimalist approach…

The new aesthetic for my project being a mix between Harajuku and “the mode style” fashion illustrates the ability for an individual to express themselves through their clothing. Harajuku is a movement against strict societal rules and pressures to fit in with the norm. It created a sort of subculture community for anyone to be…

For this post, I wanted to find something that inspired me creatively. This video particularly stood out to me, after scrummaging through many “DIY” and “make it yourself’ videos. Specifically, I think it’s incredibly how the designer of this video was able to use text in order to express Apple’s message of the one thing…

Logistics: With the current state of the world right now, I have had a couple difficulties that have transformed my original ideas but I actually believe will make for a more interesting project. I have included a new timeline below to show my plan for the upcoming steps for my project, as well as an…

As I focus on the minimalist aesthetic for my project, I am finding these specific aspects of the project to be my top 5 constraints. Material Choice: Choosing what material I use will ultimately decide the quality and appearance of the final product, so choosing this product, color, and making sure I buy enough of…

For my final project, I have been really struggling with what to define as my aesthetic. I decided to go with minimalism- an art form that came from modernism. The modernism movement is typically known as a period of exploration, rationality, clarity, and purpose. This aesthetic began around the 1900’s, and was driven by passion…

  The goal for this upcycle project is to create an artifact that follows an aesthetic, and construct it mostly out of recycled material. For my project, I decided to create a mosaic art piece out of broken glass, grout, and an old, 2′ x 2′ board. The piece follows an abstract vision of a…

For my mosaic project, I have decided to create four different pieces that symbolize the four classical elements. I think this directly represents the meaning behind the project, and by using recycled materials we are bringing awareness to the mass amounts of materials that are being wasted daily. With the big topic of climate change…

Mosaic Art     My inspiration for the upcycle project is mosaic art. Not only does the history of this art form fascinate me, but the creation of mosaics makes me really excited as well. Mosaic art originated from Mesopotamia, and is compiled bits and pieces of colored glass, stone, clay, and others. The very…
