Visual Concepts: Place Project

For this assignment, we had to relate our project to place. My project has to do with the places that I've been by compiling all of my pictures into a mosaic in the shape of my eye. The concept behind this piece is that, without eyes, I could not have seen any of these places nor experienced them. The process involved using AndreaMosaic to create the mosaic with my pictures, creating the eye. Then, using Photoshop, I made 16 6" x 4" files to print. After each file was printed, I rearranged the photo to create the eye and glued them to matboard.

2D Process: Systematic Self Portrait

Assignment: Use the "Chuck Close Method" to create a self-portrait drawing/painting that combines representational and abstract elements. We were to develop a system of color, design, and mark making that reinterprets the self-portrait image through abstraction as well as continue to explore color interaction and the principles of organization.
