2D to 3D

For the 2D to 3D project I decided to focus on reflecting from the soap project.  I used a high-definition picture of bubbles and put three soap carvings in each bubble.   I did this because the soap project wasn't necessarily my favorite project and I wanted to do something that would make me happier about the project.  I enjoy using Photoshop so I thought this would be a great idea!

Themed Project

For the themed project I focused on using a technique I used on the Sculpture projects.  This technique is called quilling.  This is when one cuts paper into very small pieces and twirls them around a tool to get the paper to be shaped the way one desires.  I really enjoyed this project because I like using paper and the specific technique I used.

Soap Carvings

The Soap carvings I found challenging.  This to me was the hardest project.  I made many soap sculptures just to fail at the end with a broken leg or what not.  The soap was easy to work with but there was no way to fix a single mistake so in that aspect it was really hard.  Below is my final soap carving along with the soap carving I destroyed.  When I destroyed the soap carving I did ten things to the soap.  5 adding materials and 5 subtracting.  I cut the soap, microwaved it, put it in the oven, cut in up again this time using scissors, put pins in the soap, spray painted it, put more pins in with different colored soap, put it in water, froze it and finally light the soap on fire.

Memento

For the memento project I used a memory that I had from the first week of school.  I transferred to Flagler College from the University of Tampa, the University of Tampa was really nice just not what I personally was looking for.  I will never forget the first time I got to Flagler.  The sky was so pretty and the air was so fresh.  The memento is a skyline.  This is something that I look forward to seeing every morning and every night.  The two colors I choose were orange and blue these colors are very important because they are warm and inviting just like Flagler.
