PLASTIC TAPE project

 When the name of project first come to my mind, I thought if mummy of ancient Egypt. I believe it will be a fun project so i spend a decent anount of time finding inspirations and ideas.

As I was looking fo ideas different aspects of project come up to me.
There are: overall shape of the project, coloring and texture of the outer layer.

Shapes

 

Coloring

 

 

 



Textures

Im looking forward to combine different textures, colors and and the overall shape of this project. By the way, I am enjoying playing spray pain, so I might use it in this project too.

Impression on the Video

http://vimeo.com/4581265\

After watching this video, to be honest, I wasn' t fascinated by it since I have seen many other similar effect with artistic design. Domino is the first thing that come up to my my when I was watching  the video. Yet, I am impressed by the accuracy how different sections of chemical and physical reactiions are interconnected.

Do you think this is art? Why or why not?

I don't really think it is a form of art. To me, art is a way yo convey ideas or  asthetic values. I believe this in my own opinion. Maybe some will think it is a form of art. I thnik its just a consecutive chemical reactions that have been presiely calculated and putted together.

Does it remind you of anything?

This video reminds me of domino. I have seen art works made with domino or used it as a medium. It is sort of like the concept of domino where the precious action will lead to the scond one.

After all, although I did not enjoy the video not think it's a form of art, most importantly, I found inspirations from it.

Kit Webster

 

I first learn about Kid Webster when I was working on my project cutting cardboards. Mrs. Jones told the fascinating art work created by him with sculptures and laser lights. He inspired me by the variety of light patterns and movements in his projects. These are his projects that I want to share with you from his website:



 

Besides, I was also mesmerrized by this short film

Sandrine Vallée

As we are working on clays the studio art class right now, I googled surreal sculptures with clay and found outstanding works Sandrine Vallée. He is a French plastic artist who makes drawings, sculptures, and paintings. The subject that he works on dictates his choice of the artistic technique. He utilizes different materials and forms of artistic expressions to give substance to the ideas.

He began with modeling the clay. His earlier sculptures are mostly figurative, and mostly female characters. As the time goes on, he started to simplify the shapes, and focus on the movements, and the curves. His sculptures was no longer detailed by express the dynamics within his work. After all, he started to work on surreal projects.

The simplicity and the dynamics of the works have attracted and fascinated me. His work reaches a point that is between complex and simple. He utilizes different materials to create new sculptures and projects.

After I researched on Sandrine Vallée, I started to consider about to use different materials to be my medium of my projects. Perhaps, I can focused more on the motion and the rhythm of the work instead of the details.
