Project 3


     The sculpture is of the Ohio Stadium with a giant fan pointing, and sitting in the middle of the stadium. The Stadium has a giant fan sitting inside to represent the fans that support the football team every home game. The hundred thousand plus screaming fans fill the stands Ohio Stadium to cheer on the buckeyes. The fans dress in Buckeye gear all in support.
     The giant fan represents the giant influence that crowd has in the game. The crowd gets involved on chats, school songs, and much needed noise for opponents third downs. The crowd plays a very important role in the game.  I chose this location because it is a very noticeable landmark on Campus. The stadium is big, so the influence of the fans had to be big as well. I also the Ohio stadium as a tribute to the fans that show support to all the teams of the university. The materials that I used for this piece were bricks, and clay. This helped with the shaping, and the making of the very large sculpture. The brick was used as a base to the the sculpture. The inside of the piece consist of brick, lumber, and clay. The outside of the piece was shaped with clay. The piece was sculpted under tarp, then uncovered to dry. The fans who come to visit the piece can come and take picture of the giant sculpture. The fans can also enter the stadium to view the enter workings.

Micro project

For this micro project I wanted to show the route that I take on my route to class. I have a class prior, so the class is right down the street from the stadium. The walking man represents me starting my walk to class from Independence Hall where my other class is located. The red line marks the path that I take on my way to the classroom.




The walking man represent as I set out to class. The Standing man represents me after walking to the stadium from my math lecture which is located on Neil. The man stops on the stadium were the class room is located. I also used to a sky view to really show the proximity between the two spot. The bird’s eye view helps show how the Ohio Stadium acts as a very big landmark on my way to Computer Art class. The text is inside the stadium, because it’s the most eye catching in the picture. The text helps explain how close the two classes really are. I used a clear red line so the viewer could still see the path, but also the streets and things passed while walking. The tools used in this piece were paint, text, and the magnetic crop tool. The paint tool made the most impact. I used this tool to draw out the transparent red route to class.

Art

file:///Users/student/Desktop/Image06.jpg

The Piece above is called amphibian evolution, created in 1986 by Alexis Rockman. The piece consists of a tree, with the branches holding small animals. But with a second glance you can see that the animals have changed, or evolved over time. When I first caught a look at the Workman's piece I noticed it reminded me of a nature cycle. The connotation of the piece is that there are animals hanging from trees. The denotations of the piece are that the animals hanging from the trees represent the life cycle, and how the animals have changed over time.

The Piece has a lot of different animals in the painting. The animals start on small branches, and as the animals grew the branches that they were placed on grew as well. The bigger animals being on the bigger branches show the point of how they have grown over time, and have changed.
