4th 1-1 Meeting with Sarah (03/02/2023)

Had my 4th meeting with Sarah today! 🙂

Overall a really great time! I’m currently in the process of working on projection mapping and experimenting with sound and distance!! Sarah provided some wonderful feedback and gave me a list of artists that are now making me see the work I create possibly in a new light!

Will update more very soon!

Hope all is well! 🙂

 

#3 1-1 Meeting with Sarah! (02/24/2023)

I had my third one on one meeting with Sarah today! It went really well!I began by going over my powerpoint and proposal and then began talking about prototyping, as well as audience! 🙂

Sarah shared a lot of wonderful brainstorming ideas along with images of other artists, and posed questions and suggestions for me to think about which is great!

Excited and ready to create!

Until next time! 🙂

1-1 Meeting with Sarah #2 (02/17/2023)

Hey!!

Back again!

Just finished up my second meeting with Sarah today and had a blast! I gained a lot of information and new possible ways to present my thesis which I’m excited about. I have clear vision of what I want to execute in the short amount of time given so I’m just super excited to dive in!

My next steps for myself involve interviewing, gathering sound, illustrating, and exploring!

 

Until next time! 🙂

Thesis Peer Meeting with Beth #2 (02/15/2023)

Hiya!!

Hope all is well!

Just finished up with our peer group meeting with Beth, Sehmon, Ai, Jheanell, Jaye and myself. It was so much fun! We each went around and discussed our thesis ideas and it was super helpful getting feedback! It was also inspirational listening to everyone’s ideas! New inspirations are blossoming for sure! I have plenty of new things to think about but for now I am solid on my idea and cannot wait to see how everything develops!

 

Until next time! 🙂

1st Peer Group Meeting with Beth! :) (02/8/2023)

Hey! 🙂

If you’re reading this I hope all is well!

This morning I had my first group meeting with Beth! It was short but fun and it was great hearing about everyone’s ideas and thoughts pertaining to their thesis explorations! 🙂  We discussed a great deal about our bibliographies and our plans for our next meeting! Also I had a great time learning a bit more about Beth and her experiences in this class prior to ours!

Welp that’s all for now!

Until next time! 🙂

 

1st 1-1 Meeting with Sarah! Reflection :) (02/06/2023)

Hiya!

So I had my first 1-1 meeting with Sarah this morning and overall everything went very well! I began by introducing myself haha which then led to showing my website and previous art, which helped lead into my thesis discussion!

I proposed my two ideas which both involve bringing illustrations to life. My first being an extension of my “More than a Color” black history pop art series, where I plan to create a large holographic installation with sound that could potentially go on tour! Think of it like walking through a hall of illustrated faces of historical African American Figures, and I plan to end the exhibit on a more personal note which I won’t reveal quite yet. 🙂

The second idea would be a combination of my love for art, nature and sound. I thought it would be fun to create what I like to call a “Swamp Forest.” A combination between a Rainforest and a Swamp. The user would have the ability to navigate through these two ecosystems on their computer screen and would have the ability to explore the swamp, rainforest as well as the wildlife that resides in each area! Educational but fun! 🙂

At this point my main goal is to make a choice haha! Sarah was able to give me some wonderful ideas that would help me to figure out which idea along with some wonderful inspirations I should go with which included:

  • Spend 2-3 days really *inhabiting* one project, then 2-3 days inhabiting another. This should help you get a feel for which you really hope to do during this time. What are your references, the initial steps for each?  What are possible outcomes for both? What would doing that project help you focus on (conceptually, or technically)? What would do each project “set you up” for in the future?
  • It would be great for you to write a “dream review” of your project. From the perspective of a journalist or critic, imagine the very best manifestation of your work (can be vague at this point) – just to get a sense of how you want this to feel, what context it belongs in.
  • Work on your starter bibliography – this is basically a collection of references (books, articles, similar work).

Overall had a great time and am super excited to get started! 🙂
