Timeline: My design process went through three major changes which ended up changing the project significantly. First I had to find what object I wanted to create and then what aesthetic I would fit with it. I settled on a Octopus Statue with the wooden sculpture aesthetic. In my first ideation process I was going…

  My inspiration for my final project came from the octopus. It is my favorite animal and is something that I have painted before. I have always been obsessed with its ability to move in ways that don’t seem possible. When thinking of an Aesthetic that could match the movement of the octopus I found…

The past week I have been working on trying to create my final project I had painted cardboard to look like wood but when trying to cutout the cardboard I realized that I couldn’t get the curvy shapes using a box cutter, everything had become jagged and I had to make some serious design fixes.…

This art form is so old it is almost impossible to trace its origin, and has been seen throughout different regions of the world. Though it is so hard to trace there are many cultures that have used wood carvings…

When looking for design videos I came across what I can only describe as click bait. I watched it because I thought this is going to be so weird and stupid and then it turned out to be an amazing design video. The concept is intriguing and the artist executed it well. It is impressive…

1) Cost I would like to spend as little amount of money as possible on some of the more basic aspects of the statue that way I can spend more money on things such as lights or joints. To help get through this I will try to reuse as many materials as possible 2) Aesthetics …

This is an early stage of the painting. I had made the canvas out of three cut up cardboard pieces that I hot-glued together. I then spent a lot of time laying out the Popsicle sticks and finally hot-glued them to the boards. I then drew out an outline of the painting and made the…

My inspiration for my Upcycling project came from the art collection I started this summer. Driving around Denver I always so there incredible and colorful street art and wanted to explore this aesthetic for a while now. I don’t know if it will be enough to do a painting.
