Physical Art

These are all pieces of physical art that I made using a variety of mediums. I believe that one who works with digital media should be able to work in both digital and physical.

Art Geometry
Unity & Variety
Expanding Square


Art Geometry

For this piece, which was made in the Fall of 2011 during Art 105, we focused on the line geometry different pieces. For this art piece, we also had our choice of mediums to use, so I chose to use sharpie, gray marker and pencil. What was done was take 2 different paintings, find their art geometry in it and then create two more art geometries that transitioned between them.

Unity & Variety

This Unity & Variety piece was also made in the Fall of 2011, during Art 105. With this piece, a choice of 4 out of 5 possible objects: a letter or number, something from the animal kingdom, something from the plant kingdom, a man-made object, or a geometric shape. Once the pieces were selected, they were combined together into a larger piece. I decided to focus on an Alice in Wonderland theme, which tied the piece together.

Expanding Square

This piece was an expanding square project made early on in the Fall of 2011, during Art 105. It started as a 9x9 square, that was cut apart. Where ever it was cut, the pieces had to remain connected at one of the points, and could only be either rotated or mirrored. If the square ran off the edge of the workspace, it would continue on the other side of the work space.
