Page 2: Final Project Final Statement

    After finishing the final project I believe the point will get across to the audience who is viewing the pieces. The pictures all show that the people doing their professions, but with a twist. The twist is that have different bodies. I wanted the pieces to have the superhero be recognizable by their costumes, but the different faces of the people would show the meaning of the pieces.

     The meaning of the pieces is to show the that everyday people who do things are superhero, like the one we watch and read about. With this project I wanted to capture this. The Blot picture as flash shows his speed, and his accomplishments at the Olympics. The Picture of Kimbo Slice as Hulk shows his intensity as he fights in the ring. The picture of President Obama as Superman shows how he has everyday task then jumps into action to help the country. The focus of the pictures was to follow the main idea of the superhero project that we completed.

     The pictures showed the point, but if I was able I would change the background in the pictures. I also would try to use different angles when depicting the actions of the people.

Artist Statement

     When given this project for the final project many ideas came into my head. I started to reflect on all the past micro-projects that we have done. I then stated to piece together some of the main ideas of those projects. When reviewing the past projects one project really stuck out to me. The one project that really sparked my interest was micro-project 4 the superhero piece.

    Before making the project I had to brainstorm about what superheros wanted to use, and how I could could connect them. Then I came up with the idea to use superheros, and relate them to everyday people. When I thought about how these could be turned into pictures. I started out gathering people, and thinking about what super hero they could relate to. President Obama as Superman. Kimbo Slice as the Hulk. Usain Bolt as Flash. Wanted to show everyday people as modern superheros.

     When the project was completed I tried to capture the people and the superhero in a common stance. I wanted to show how the two related by performing similar acts.This was showed by Bolt running, and Obama in his suit.
