Project 3; Proposal
















First off, I'm excited for this. Secondly, I really hope this comes together.

Long story-short, the intent is to disrupt society's perception of reality through different rooms that will cast abnormal shadows and lights on the audience. Various rooms will lead into a final space that will serve as a call for universal acceptance of past, self, love, differences, and applying that to how the world and future is to be looked at. Specifically, the last room will achieve this through casting shadows of words of inspiration, which will also benefit as being slightly more literal and able to be understood by the large, general audience.

The only thing that I haven't figured out yet is where this should go and how it should be installed. My intent is for my monument to take the place of one of the controversial removed monument, as to serve as a direct response of the previous monument's removal. As for how it will be installed, that follows the fact I haven't entirely decided how I want the rooms to connect to one another. I'm still playing with designs and my goal is to have these unanswered questions settled by the weekend.

Here's hoping it works out.

"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.

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.
