Self Visualization: The Return of the Projects

This is the end result of my self visualization. It was done as a Rubix Cube, but i shall post the 6 images separately:








Over all, i feel that this project was a success. Though i struggled with thinking up an idea from the beginning, i greatly enjoy my results. The use of an actual rubix cube helped give the project a very personal feeling, through its hand-held size.

This here is the poem i shall be using for my final project:

Robot Boy
by Tim Burton

Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a wonderful life.
They were a normal, happy husband and wife.
One day they got news that made Mr. Smith glad.
Mrs. Smith would be a mom,
which would make him the dad!
But something was wrong with their bundle of joy.
It wasn't human at all,
it was a robot boy!
He wasn't warm and cuddly
and he didn't have skin.
Instead, there was a cold, thin layer of tin.
There were wires and tubes sticking out of his head.
He just lay there and stared,
not living or dead.
The only time he seemed alive at all
was with a long extension cord
plugged into the wall.

Mr. Smith yelled at the doctor,
"What have you done to my boy?
He's not flesh and blood,
he's aluminum alloy!"

The doctor said gently,
"This will sound pretty wild.
But you're not the father
of this strange-looking child.
You see, there is still some question
about the child's gender,
but we think that it's father
is a microwave blender."

The Smith's lives were now filled
with misery and strife.
Mrs. Smith hated her husband,
and he hated his wife.
He never forgave her unholy alliance:
a sexual encounter
with a kitchen appliance.


And Robot Boy
grew to be a young man.

Though he was often mistaken
for a garbage can.

As for the idea behind my book, it is going to be very similar to the styling of a children book. I will also construct the robot boy itself and use it to present my book. It will be inside of the robot so that you have to open it to find the pages.

Little Miss Dia Beacon

So....we went on a museum trip to Dia Beacon a while back, I had never been or even hear of it before then. However, i was happily surprised. The museum proved to be a most wonderful experience, filled with various different styles of works and artists. This wide variety was spread through out the three floors as well as the outside. There was countless works by innovative artists such as Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra, and even Andy Warhol! The trip did a wonderful job of showing the wide variety of the artistic world and was a beautiful time. I feel that being exposed to such works in such a fashion helped me to think more creatively with my works and will help me in my artistic endeavors.
I was pleased with going on the trip and am glad that we got to explore the museum in its entirety, leaving no project un-looked at!
