Corner Project

I really enjoyed this project. Here are some pictures from the classroom where my corner was:

And here is the corner that I made from it with the added color/ 3d pattern from part one of the project.

slowly getting there.

i seem to have not a lot of time this semester, so its about doing bits and pieces whenever i can. thankfully my house mate will let me use [and by use i mean store in my room :)] her green cutting mat, so i just keep it all on there for as long i need and just go back to it. so handy!

i had to melt it because the glue just WAS NOT WORKING. very annoying..and smelly.

[its also my dads birthday today..happy birthday dad!]

here is the shoe deconstructed.

while it is a simple shoe to deconstruct, it think that it it is going to be tough to be creative with the stuff it gives me because it is all so simple and not very much color. we shall see, maybe it going to be harder than i first assumed!

decided that i would just post as i go, instead of posting it all at the end.

here are photos of the shoe before it got destroyed. i took photos of it as a whole, as well as digital macro shots of some parts!

when life gives you lemons..

well in my case life gave me straws.

I really thought that straws would be an awesome thing to work with. They bend, they are colorful and you can melt them. Well. They aren't easy as you might first think. Infact; they are really annoying to work with. They like the shape they are already in. They dont like being twisted, so they refuse to co-operate. They are like really curly hair that now matter how much you straighten it, after a little bit of time complying with how you want them to be, the boing back. And I'll tell you why. Its because they are happy the way they are. Which is admirable when it comes to people. Annoying when its inanimate objects that you have to make stuff out of! In class today I kept a log of how it was to play with them. I thought it would be interesting to look back on the class and how much time was spent

on which parts of the project. SO here goes.

Monday March 22nd.

3.57pm: I don't have any A3 paper with me. I really should get some. Thank goodness Art Stretchers is right next to my building!

4.01pm: Get off at floor 5, wrong floor. Figures. Really should have written this down. Maybe its the 6th floor. Yep, that sounds about right.

4.03pm: Geez RMIT elevators are really slow.

4.05pm: Yep. I'm late. But I heard the other day that if you are within 15minutes late you are not reeeally late, just detained. 20+ mins however, you are definitely late. *phew*

4.10pm: Leave to go and get stuff for the in class project. Oops, I completely spaced that I had to bring stuff today. Oh well. Thankfully I live approximately a 3 minute walk from Blg.51. Race home, get anything. Remember that I have

straws, that will be fun. [If only i knew!]

4.20pm: Get back, start creating. Exploring my material...start noticing its a bit of a fail, but I wont let it get me down, it may turn out to be awesome!

5.44pm: Stop creating. So, at first I thought that was going to be too long, but in actuality it was not long enough. Man, these straws are difficult! We go around the table, and see what everyone else is doing. Little army man, popsicle sticks, pegs, spoons, make-up pads, plastic chopsticks. So many different things going on. Interesting what people are coming up with, esp. the people that have the same object as someone else, yet they come up with totally different things. so cool. So creative.

6.00pm: Yay a break!

6.20pm: Some people start working on their

shoe. That will be a fun project. *Reminder: Emily Buy a shoe!* This is when i keep working with my straws. Need to come up with something that is wearable art, ie: jewelry.

Music On The Street

Its moments like this that I am so thankful for technology. I was walking up my street and i was looking at what was one the ground and I saw this rubber band in the shape of a treble clef. It was awesome. So 3 cheers for camera phones!

1st class creations.

Here are a bunch of photos from our 1st class, where we made models out of paper. Once they were all made and put in the middle of the table, it looks like a crazy little white city, or jungle or something, it was beautiful. I took some close up photos because they were so interesting!
