Project 2, Process Post 1

So I really like Fusion 360. I'm impressed how easy to use it is, all the features are designed with explanations on how to use them, and I find that to be really genius. I don't have much of a need for tutorials and I've been able to develop a work flow really easily. Maybe I'll change my mind when I get to doing the detail for my model(s), but I feel this will be much easier in the long run than Maya in terms of modeling.

"Landscapes of Memory..." Reading Response

I really appreciated reading this piece because it brought to light a view of the debated which I've hardly heard about or understood. I never thought about how seeing these figures or events being portrayed in positive or unrealistically ideal fashions could influence a viewer. As a response, I am still left unsure there is a right way with how to deal with the situation In my personal experience, I heard the problems people were having with these sculptures was merely rooted in the fact that they represented people and events as they were seen at the time, despite that it no longer follows the commonly accepted beliefs of the present. I understood this problem then to be emphasized by the plaques that were originally created to define the monuments for viewers with words that followed the old ideas. Therefor, I thought the problems were more in the need for the plaques to be updated with clauses that may or may not preserve the original intent, while building on to state the cu...

Project 3; Progress Post 1

As mentioned in my proposal, my concept was unfinished in planning. In order to finish and get an idea for how the model would be created, I used Maya to build a rough prototype. A very rough prototype. A later beneficial idea as that I would be able to take my Maya reference and create an animation to demonstrate what my model would look like in the correct materials and functioning. Unfortunately, my modeling skills in Maya did not permit me to accurately rebuild the model. Additionally, importing the model file into Maya failed. Therefor the Maya model only functioned as a reference but it was much better to visualize from than drawings.

Project 3; Artist Research

Artist: Camille Utterback Website: http://camilleutterback.com/category/projects/ Entangled, http://camilleutterback.com/projects/entangled I love all of the work by Camille Utterback. I'm really glad she was pointed out to me, her style and principles are basically what I desire to grow my art into. I love how interactive she makes her art and the captivating colors she uses in everything. It's so abstract, which normally I would shy away from, but the fact that it changes based on the level of interactivity with the audience. I find it really fun and is a good way to pull the audience in to think about the theme Utterback is trying to portray. While its really difficult to pick a single work I love the most, my favorite is probably Entangled (2015). Basically is is a two sides structure with projections and shadows of colors. Based on the movements of participants on either side, the art moves and changes. This is really similar to her e...
