Mona Hatoum Podcast
|
I found this project to be very entertaining. I learned about a new artist that I've never even heard of before, Mona Hatoum. I've had some experience in the past making videos, but I've never made a podcast or used any sound editing systems before. Going into this project I thought it would be fairly easy, and it was, but it was way more time consuming than I had originally thought. Mona Hatoum has great works of art, but I did find it a little difficult to find a lot of images of her works, or even images of the same piece just from a different angle. I did have a lot of fun making this podcast, though, and Im glad I learned about a new artist because I seriously love these sculptures that Mona Hatoum makes.

"Be Your Own Hero" Lesson Plan
This project turned out to be a really fun group project! Normally I don't really like doing group projects, like most people, but I found this one to be quite entertaining and easy going. Its pretty cool to be able to decide what the project, or lesson is going to be about as a group as opposed to a techer telling the group exactly what the project was. Since the assignment was to make a lesson based on an app, the group had a lot of freedom on what we could choose. As you can see, our group lesson plan was on Comic Books and the art that goes into them. Basically, students will get the chance to create their own super hero using the Adobe Sketch app, while also learning about the history of comic books and a few artists involved in comic books.
3D Model
For this project we used the website Tinkercad (linked below) to create a 3D model of a wearable animal that we related to. I chose to create a tarsier because they are the smallest primate in the world, They hate captivity so much that they will commit suicide if caged, their eyes are bigger than their brain making them so weird looking that they are cute, and they are exclusively carnivorous. I am also a tiny primate, I am claustrophobic and terrified of the idea of being trapped, so weird looking that I'm cute, and although I am not exclusively carnivorous I find it hard to give up meat.
I found this project very fun, as a person that has never used a 3D printer or the software to make a 3D print, I did find it challenging to create the model, but after playing around with the website software I got the hang of it. Ultimately I am very pleased with the outcome and I am so excited about my new tarsier pin!

Animation
|
For this project I used Adobe Photoshop and iMovie on my Mac laptop.This project was fun, the biggest issue I ad was underestimating how long this assignment would take. It took me approximately 10 hours to illustrate 10 seconds of animation! but in the iMovie editing process I was able to cut clips and repeat some animations to lengthen up the animation. Ultimately I love how this came out! |
How-To: Underwater Basket Weaving
In this tutorial I demonstrate how to make a mini basket using underwater basket weaving. I found this project to be very fun to make! I did, however, have to record a few times because of camera difficulties (out of focus, my hands not being in the shot, etc.) But eventually I got it! After making this one, im thinking about making more DIY youtube videos.

Familiar Places and Architecture
My first semester at CSULB I was in an art education class where the second part of the semester was focused solely on teaching at an elementary school. For this art education opportunity, I, along with a group of three others, had to teach a class of third graders and a class of second graders two separate art project involving collage, rubbings, and dioramas. The first project was to collect rubbings of different textures found around the classroom then cut the rubbings up to make a collage of a familiar place (being the student’s own home, a friend’s home, their school, etc.) The second project done with these classes was to create a 3-dimensional diorama of the familiar places they did their collage on with various materials including construction paper, glue, and pipe cleaners, as well as their leftover rubbings for further decoration.
Museum tour (in person or virtual)
One of my school projects was to create a worksheet for students to complete at a museum, due to COVID-19 the assignment was altered for a virtual art museum tour. one of these worksheets is specifically tailored to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, but the other can easily be used for any art museum. This worksheet was created with high schoolers in mind, but can also work with middle schoolers.

Japanese Aesthetics- Green Tea Ink Paintings
Here is a lesson plan I created based on a project I and a classmate created about Japanese Aesthetics. The power point explains the history of some Japanese Aesthetics, and the project is to make monochromatic "ink" paintings out of green tea for a fun twist on the ink paintings done within the Zen Buddhism culture.
