WIP - Work in Progress

For the final project, I’ve continued with putting together animations. I have a small TV and several laptops that I can use to display my project. I’ve gone with a theme of self-portraits and want to do a “portrait” showing different sides of myself on each screen. The small TV The electronics I p

For this final project, I am experimenting with spray paint, and stencils made from sourced images. I am taking stencils from these images, by editing them in photoshop and illustrator, and then printing them out and cutting them, and using a laser cutter. I hope to comment on the singular definitio

For the final project for this class I want to do a polished mixed media zine. I think for this assignment I would want it to be done in a way that has it have some common universal themes but still tells a story. For this assignment I would want to do another eight-page zine in which I make it a

Blog 8 For project 3 I chose to do more analytical side. I drew a simple throw of my name on a piece of paper, after that I took pictures of my progress making the drawing on my phone. After this i went to walmart and printed out the pictures at walmart. From there i took a sharpie and drew on the

For this project I want to experiment with the integration of digital and analog collage. While I am still narrowing down a specific theme or topic, I am circling around the ideas of envy, possessions, and materialism. I first want to collect a series of photos from a Google image search, and edit t

For this "digi-log collision" project I was thinking of revisiting methods and aesthetics used for an older project I did back in Studio Art 2. I believe it fits the theme of “digi-log collision”. I used physical objects as well as traditional art (analog art) and added in digital effects/animatio

For this project I will finally be going back to the game project I started last semester with a focus on some major changes in art, game design, and underlying programming. I’ve been wanting to jump back into this project for a large amount of time, but I didn’t think I could make noticeable progre

For the second project I want to try and go off something I tried last semester which was making inanimate things animated. Last semester I did a painting that changed faces every so often. For this project I ant to try and make "history repeat itself" while moving. I will try and animate some of my

I am still very much in the concept formation part of this project. I recently wrote a song called "Baseball Hats and Horned Rims" that is about songwriting itself. There is a line in the song that says, "His baseball hats and his horned rims/ they are his mask but nothing is hidden." From this poi

Daydreaming Alex Smith I often find myself drifting off, daydreaming about random things and it would be interesting to show an audience where my mind is at most of the time. I’ll be using an actor/actress in place of me so I can control the projection and the camera, but I plan on projecting video

My final project will be an interactive sculpture; a laser harp. I will laser cut an enclosure but instead of including strings, I will be using 5mW green lasers. How it will work is that when someone "plucks" the lasers, the corresponding photocell sensors will read the disruption in the laser and

Final Project: For my final project i have decided to do an original piece by me. I am going to create my own clothing. This will be  full outfit but it will not be hand stitched by me. I'm going to use a white shirt from forever 21, and black track pants from forever 21. These outfit will be compl

For this project, I think I want to take another crack at generative art. I've been watching and coding tutorials by Daniel Shiffman on Processing and p5.js to get some ideas going. The ones I've been most drawn to are the ones that use some established mathematical relationships to visualize a natu

For this project I want to go in the direction that I have become interested with since last semester. I have found an obsession with Projection Mapping, especially with projecting onto paintings and photos making them come "alive". I want to go back into this by projection mapping videos and my own

For this project, I feel very much so in my domain, and I'm quite excited. For my piece, I will be gutting out an old computer tower, and replace most to all the parts with wood. This includes the CPU heat sink, the video card, RAM, hard drive, fans, and so on. If I have time, I would also like to
